      Those are things in both games, numb nuts.

      Or what about the mother figure in the dark cult of assassins?

      Night Mother from Skyrim

      Orin's Mother from BG3

        Do you really think Skyrim invented the trope of the Mother figure?

        Are you that much illiterate?

        For fuck sake, open a damn book.

          I thought you said the only thing that influenced BG3 was BG1 and BG2. Now I have to read books?

            Play BG1 and BG2 if you can’t read…

            At this point I’m expecting you to tell me that BG3 copied Skyrim because there are Elves and Dwarfs and Dragons in both of them…

            You do realize that the Mother figure in both Skyrim and Baldur’s Gate is a representation of Lilith, first wife of Adam and mother of all demons right? Which is a figure at least as old as the fucking Old Testament? Right? Have you ever heard about Dante’s Hell?

            Now, do you realize how ignorant you look like right now?

              I’ll bite. Show me the Old Testament RPG where a dead mother figure is standing in a coffin in an assassin cult, and I’ll concede. Here’s your chance.

                I just can’t count how many movies since the very fucking 1900´s got that very fucking scene.

                How creative it would be if someone put that scene in an RPG, wouldn’t it? Like « Radio on the Internet » if you can get that joke.

                Well, maybe you should start with fucking Diablo 1 then.

                Don’t forget to wash your teeth before going to sleep kiddo.

                    Look, kiddo, let me pontificate for a minute.

                    You seem like a decent person. A lefty who loves cats? Definitely my jam. But man, you’re just terrible at arguments.

                    You can’t just spit opinions and expect people with actual knowledge to agree with you.

                    I get it, you love Skyrim and you want to think it’s a genius piece of art which invented everything. But it’s simply not true. It’s a just a rewriting of very old stories. Like almost every RPGs to be honest - and the books LOTR, and the books GOT, and everything Fantasy really - but that’s not the point.

                    I simply hope you don’t make political arguments the way you led that conversation, because damn that was bad.

                    LMAO

                    Try opening your eyes wider for a sec?

                    Or maybe you’re just so unbelievably stupid you don’t even know what the Old Testament is ? Gotta admit « Old Testament RPG » is a fun way to talk about the Bible.
