Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for fictional character role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.
Discussion of or soliciting RP for celebrities or other non-fictionalized versions of real people is not allowed.

anon i don't know what your problem is but i do know you clearly aren't familiar with forgotten realms/dungeons and dragons if you think wizards of the coast would ever allow any of its properties to alienate its customers by making a decision like this

this is the company that sends out pinkertons to protect its ip

it's canon in your heart (but we're not gonna piss off our customers by saying yes x is canon but y is not) is how it's always been

i'm just trolling because wankgate died but there are events and choices from the prior games that became canon in bg3 so to say there's no canon is dumb sorry

okay but you should know by now that only major, setting shaking events are canonized... and they also get retconned all the time. with that said, this character route is canon but this one is not isn't going to be one of those things set in stone because it gets in the way of player freedom and wotc are pretty anal about that sort of thing

...and the bg3 devs are on record stating durge isn't any more canon than tav

which ones were made canon in bg3 and then retconned

do you think it's more likely that bg4 will canonize your tav or some other bitch's durge

The Baldur's Gate series isn't like the Dragon Age series, where the previous game's events and hero are significant within the current one's in a way that's meant to be a pat on the back for a player who played the last game and shaped the world in the way they want.

BG2 came out in fucking 2000 and the characters who were carried over to BG3 were NPCs like Jaheira and Minsc (and Boo).

Unless you wanna start a fight about whether the Abdel Adrian in BG3 is meant to be Gorion's Ward as he was in the novels, but that's its own stupidity and has nothing to do with anyone's actual BG2 protags as played.

because when larian made divinity original sin 2, one of the complaints were that if you went with a custom original character you had basically 0 impact or background on the story. the companion playable origins would give you unique responses and interactions according to the character, so the custom character origin really felt lacking compared to them.

tav and durge origins were specifically designed with those complaints in mind. tav is meant to be more general and open ended malleable protagonist, and durge is essentially a more “canon” origin for someone wanting a more specific background and tie in to the plot, like the other companions.
