    You know, you bring up a really good point, honestly.

    My friend had a similar complaint about Baldurs Gate III.

    “Why so much body horror and gore? When I was growing up and playing DnD, we were never exploring that kind of stuff. DnD can be so much more than just body horror and gore.” Not verbatim, but you get the idea.

    As much as I love BG3, I don’t actually disagree with his sentiment at all.

    There should be an opportunity for people to play similar style of games that aren’t so gory or depressing or both. Not every stealth game needs to be cyberpunk and depressing.
