to me it's more the idea that it's 'too evil'

bioware was a game company that basically pioneered the option to have an evil route in video games going back all the way to the KOTOR series, and made romance options in rpgs popular. then they started moralizing in their games. i guess it was only a matter of time before they got rid of the 'evil option' altogether.

It's this for me, too, because it feels like another instance of something being dumbed down to be "safe" because no one has critical thinking or media literacy anymore.

you guys talk like using blood magic as the player character ever had actual impact on anything

mte. it wasn't even an option in the last game. looking for reasons to get pressed about this is twitter brainrot behavior.

It's not specifically blood magic that's the problem, but the reasoning they gave for removing it. They aren't going to put the other subclasses in either, so it just sounds like the game is going to be even more boring and watered down.

I'm not pressed about it this just killed what little interest I might've had because it's another bad sign on top of the existing issues.

it's the implication that it's 'too evil' for the PC

i.e. 'our PC isn't evil'

or in other words, 'you can't be evil anymore even though we've been allowing this in pretty much every rpg we ever made'

this isn't hard, anon
