I saw a thread of people bitching about how they could not avoid making Henry gay in KCD2. I didn't even know what the fuck they were on about, because there are only like 2 chances to be gay and you have to really want it because it takes a high speech check just to get the NPCs you can romance to admit they are gay, and even more to convince them you are too.

Besides, even if you somehow managed to "accidentally" be gay: you can just go to the church and pay for an indulgence so you're still good with God. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I have thus sheathed mine sword in yonder field hand."

"That will be 1 Groschen, my son. Did you enjoy it?"

"Yes, Father"

"That will be 2 Groschen, then."

sometimes people just choose whatever the speech check is

i didnt know the confirmed bachlor perk in new vegas was making me gay i just took it for the damage buff and new dialogue options ๐Ÿ˜‚

"Confirmed Bachelor" is a popular euphemism dating back to at least the 19thC, but especially common in the 1950s (from where Fallout gets a lot of its aesthetic).

I'm not judging you personally, but in the wider context of the thread that game has a ESRB Mature 17+ / PEGI 18 rating for all the stuff in there that's way worse than being a bit fruity

I dont know, American ratings are stupid.

I can totally see gay romance ranking a game higher on the age charge than all the blood, dismemberment, gore, etc.

spider-man 1 or 2 had an easter egg where you could get mary jane to kiss herself. they had to remove it because it was going to bump the rating up to mature for the lesbian kissing

Doesnt surprise me in the least.
