I don't want to make clickbait but this...this I may not be able to resist. Share your thoughts below but keep it...uh...clean.

Update: my friend Bob World Builder talked me out of it. He said. "I did the same thumbnail and the video did lower than average views." So that settles it. But thank you for your advice!

BTW: Bob's video is hilarious. Check it out on YouTube.

can't blame you. Ghostfire Gaming had fun with it.

Brian Peters

Yes! We could all use a good laugh

Karl Agius

You know you want to...

baldrage

I don't get the reference, what am I missing?

Bark Madly

"Deathbringer only plays video games in which I can make love to dragons, dinosaurs, and Chuck Norris!" 🤣

Ron Griffis

ROTFLMAO! Yes. Please. I couldn’t BEAR it if you didn’t! 🤣🐻🤪

Ben Chance

Yes. I cannot wait to see how Deathbringer feels about this

Kaz Faren

Um... No... Just no. 🤦‍♂️

Andrew

Interesting--definitely suggestive--if it's a reference to a video game or something, I'm a bit at a loss. That said, this is what happens when pixies are put in charge of both the intoxicants and the contraceptives at the annual fay wild fertility festivals in 5E. It's the only thing that can explain the different player races---my girlfriend's daughter is playing a 3 foot tall fay wild hedgehog monk in her game. I started to ask probing questions and then stopped--there was no good outcome to be had there. I have no idea how that works. My take---go for it--whatever you have in mind.

Nygfan

Yes! But do your research, don’t rely on reports.

Sean Grimm

Hard pass, you're better than this.

Carl Dettlinger

Looks like a good laugh. I love all your videos. Go for it.

Bagel-Man

Yeah, make the video.

MrGunn

Get off my lawn ya punk kids, Mortimer and I don’t cotton to all this nonsense computer game malarkey. PDM if you and DB want to make a video to be like the ‘kewl kids’ go right ahead 🙄 Dang youngsters don’t even know what a joke is mumble mumble crank crank… 📝🎲 analog gaming… time for my nap 😴

JoePest

What am I looking at?

Clint Sharp

I'm sure you're take will be very entertaining.

Tommy

Think of the poor bear for goodness sake!! Where is your humanity?!?

Yan Duranceau

To quote 1996’s The Truth About Cats & Dogs: “We can love our pets, we just can't LOVE our pets”.

Michael Nardi

Ugh! So tired of hearing about this video game in my RPG videos. Only do it if Deathbringer makes a rug out of that bear.

James C

You can’t show that pic and not make a video. Please do. I have my popcorn ready. Besides the clickbait, I am curious what your thoughts are on tabletop games that are translated into video games.

James C

Baldur’s Gate 3 video game. There’s some controversy regarding that image. That is all I will say.

Chad Robb

I appreciate all your content. UDT, DM advice, Reviews, Corporate speculation, Deathbringer singalongs. You are a thoughtful and entertaining creator. I trust your instincts.

Jeff Krus

My what Big hmm Eyes you have... Hey dosent DB need a new rug??

Graymaulken

I see that image and l can’t get this song outta my head… “What is love love love love… baby don’t hurt me.. don’t hurt me.. no more…”

Tuska

Pretty gross, but it needs to be addressed on how far WoTC has fallen.

K Ryz

Neg

Peter Ferguson

Do it but let Deathbringer tear into it!

James M Spahn

Don't. You're better than this garbage.

Ernesto

I will just advise to tread carefully with this one, independently of wotc and their shits, this game seems to be an overall excellent game, made by people that love the hobby, and praised by DnD player and "normies"

Masterhit

I watched part of that ... reveal.. or whatever it was.. and.. yeah.. to each their own... but... yeah... uh... (gross)

John Warner

Your take on these…interesting…times is always appreciated if not necessary for my sanity.

Jay

Been waiting for this game to get out of development and Yep! Here we go again....

Elvis Ramone

My 2¢, well it's kinda just clickbait at this point, although referencing and making fun of the matter in future videos versus going whole hog "WotC is promoting bestiality" may be more prudent. Did WotC actually authorize this, merely approve of, or were they aware but incapable of action? (Contracts be contracts, and money wont wait for morality.) Toss it in as a comment on BG3 video overall. My question is with the pretty amazing success of BG3, why don't they focus their online presence with this type of video game, divide and conquer the online player base this way. They do not even have to make physical product for it, it's like a license to print money. 2.5 million copies sold at $60 a pop and zero cost for printing books. It's been available for a week, and with a lot of good reviews those sales will climb. It just seems that a VTT could be a money pit. WotC could just see what is popular zeitgeist and print money there. I am not saying take them off the hook, my bullshit sense is tingling tho, like there is no right answer, just what can be lived with.

Craig Sutherland

Don't do a video on this - it is always cringey when someone does a video on video games like this that mischaracterizes the studio or passes it off as something when they may not fully know what goes on in a different medium. Larian studios is a very good video game studio and has a lot of genuine passion for their games, as well as with D&D. This video game is actually a genuinely big step forward for D&D video games that very expertly combines elements of both gaming worlds. In all honesty I am surprised that WotC let Larian do a lot of the things they did in this game, I would have thought they would be scared of scaring off potential interested customers who have no experience with D&D.

lars madsen

I find the whole thing... unbearable. You're welcome!

It’s seems to me that they are engaging in the normalization and sensationalism of graphic pornography and bestiality. I don’t believe this game is out of the reach of children. Sending out the Pinkerton thugs was a much classier mover than this. They just cannot seem to make a family friendly decision anymore.

Don Bakke

I'm not that much of a gamer and have never played a Baldur's Gate title, so I was completely unaware of this. I'm a little surprised because I follow a number of YouTubers who highlight pop culture issues like this. At any rate, I recommend leaving it alone. This is RPG adjacent and does not fit within the new direction this channel is going (which I endorse). While I have no doubt I'll enjoy PDM's take and wit, I think it will come across as a petty pot shot and drag this channel through murky slime. But hey, that's what I think. What do you think? I'd love for you to share your comments down below.

Frank Matthews

I would pay for a monthly advice column by deathbringer

Veles

Make what you enjoy making. If it's clickbait-y all the better, it pleases your Dark Lord (the Algorithm)!

Graham Kane

Yeah I’m think you’re right to steer clear of this one!

Glumer Games LLC

They have spoken very clearly about their position on this. This was no accident. This was deliberately programmed into the game. Why should a voice of common decency be silent?

Hosidax Hosidax

Yeah.... NO. Glad you decided to focus on other things. In general, I'm more interested in your take on running a game at the table than any of the "gaming news" trends of the day. I LOVED your recent video about improptu NPCs (ep 344)

Paul Volpe

Yeah, PDM, if you have an interesting take on the subject, do the video! To be honest, my partner was less interested in BG3 until they learned about this (and romance in general), and controller support. Interesting romance, an emphasis on RP, the capability of meaningful non-lethal solutions created interest. It made the game feel more *RP*g to them, and less of a "fighty" game. Some folks may not like the romance simulator stuff in Crpgs, but our TTrpgs have non-lethal and stealth options and allow for creative problem solving using more than just "hack and slash" tactics. When to fight and when to not used to mean something. Crpgs have limits; these kinds of features allow for some kind of "soft skill" play, when done right.

MrGunn

@Glumer Games I wonder how the pronouns will work here??? 🥸🤣

Jay

Agreed. Just more soft indoctrination and normalization. It's not a conspiracy theory where there's mountains of evidence. They aren't even trying to hide it that well anymore.

Glumer Games LLC

I would caution against the use of the word romance to describe what they have programmed into BG3

William Watkins

Awesome to hear how much you and BOB have been syncing up, you two are the only two I consistently watch for any D&D content

NemoOh

It isnt click bait, it is education. And it isn't "romance" it is sodomizing a bear.

virtuadept

I am not sure I could bear to watch a video about this.

virtuadept

I mean this is bearly news.
