Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3 was originally "more sassy" and had to be "heavily dialed down" after one of the devs said "I really don't like" the character (www.gamesradar.com)

On one hand, maybe having the child maltreatment victim crack jokes all the time would be a little inappropriate. On the other hand, that describes like 4 people I know.

On the other other hand, one Astarion is enough

It really surprised me that Astarion is so popular.

High/prominent cheekbone, pale, aristocratic, twink, tends to go over well

Same, though I have to say when I let him have a little blood and he went too far, I forced him out of my party on my first play through. But oh boy is he necessary on a Dark Urge play through. The dialogue is just so worth it.

-actual Discord messages from my heterosexual male cousin that made me feel like my brain was melting out of my ears.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 5 months ago

Ah, yes, heterosexuals. We have dismissed this claim.

Sarcasm is my go to cope so, make it five.

You think happy people are funnier than me?

Seriously though, having every character in a DnD party trying to crack wise all the time, even when it's objectively wrong, is just true to life.
