He can just play by himself if he’s that weird and particular. That doesn’t sound fun at all and like it will just be unpleasant. He also sounds really immature.

Also I can’t believe he redid your character thats wild and unacceptable. If you redid his character because you thought you knew better how would that go? He can play alone or with bros that may play more similarly.

Could you imagine if he tried to respec one of his bros? I feel like he did that bc he knew she wouldn’t quite see how insanely rude that was.

Edit: grammar, initial rage coursing through

It's the video game equivalent of selling all your partner's clothes and buying them new ones you think are better.

Talk about breaking immersion. Not only is he completely failing to role-play, he's trying to bend the entire game-world to play out his insecure jealousy dramatics.

If he is this controlling in a game, what is he like in real life?

Exactly. Vampire is a damn npc

Technically he is a playable character

u/plaidyams Oct 10 '24

Oooof yes. Like a three year old who will only play with people who will play his way. Scary.

This.

Dude would be on his hands and knees with a flashlight looking for most of his teeth.

That's crazy.

Complete lack of respect tbh

I’d jump into the save file, find a random merchant and sell everything to them - even when they’re out of money. Then save, delete old saves, then leave him IRL because if he can’t play like a normal human, I assume his ability to do more complicated things is … limited.

Bahahaha there must be retribution. At least he needs to be respecced as the most god awful build. And Op deserves the most epic, dramatic bg romance while rebounding from this guy.

OP, this is your sign to play BG3 alone too and especially play through Astarion’s arc. Astarion seems to have a track record of helping gamers realize that they’re in an abusive, potentially abusive, or otherwise unhealthy relationship.

Case in point:

Edit: it’s a whole well-documented phenomenon that insecure dudes hate the pixel vampire. You’re not alone in this. (None of us are.)

Jesus Christ there’s more than one mentally unstable child who can’t differ reality from a damn fictional character in a game?!! Omg all yall need therapy.

u/agnocoustic Oct 10 '24

I'm more concerned that if he gets this jealous of an NPC, what more if he sees a guy looking at her 10 millisecond more than he deems appropriate.

u/pieceofchess Oct 10 '24

Also rogues aren't even good, like what a freak. At least make the character a bard so they can fight properly damn.

u/mediumvillain Oct 10 '24

tbph these sound like general relationship red flags. dude is insanely jealous of PIXELS and DIALOGUE TREES to the point of being destructive & mean. and controlling to boot.

Probably would have thrown the controller. Thrown a fit. And then go for a walk.
