Baldur’s Gate 3 player blocks potential date for dissing the game

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player decided to block someone on a dating app after they called the game uncreative and boring.

Baldur’s Gate has been a massive success for Larian Studios after its release in August 2023. Since then, the game has garnered multiple awards, including Game of the Year and Best Community.

There is no doubt that Baldur’s Gate has a passionate fan base that is constantly looking for new ways to explore the game. This has been accomplished through mods, character customization, honor runs, and more.

However, according to Reddit, this passion comes at the price of some relationships. This has some begging the question of whether or not they too, would move on from someone who talked down about their favorite game.

Baldur’s Gate 3 player blocks dating prospect

One Redditor revealed they had blocked someone over a disagreement regarding Bladur’s Gate and Crusader Kings 3. It’s an alternative title that other fans of Baldur’s Gate also enjoy.

“I literally just blocked someone on a dating app because they said that BG3 was uncreative and boring,” said the poster.

“They also were so pretentious that they said, “I play Crusader Kings 3 (a game for smart people).” Like, listen here, you little shit, I have a doctorate, I’m pretty sure I’m smarter than you. Anyway, thought I’d just share something funny that happened.”

While commenters beneath the post agreed with what the alleged dating potential said, the conversation turned to how enjoyable a game like Crusader Kings 3 was in comparison.

One user shared that some people think Baldur’s Gate is the ‘ultimate dress up’ version of Crusader Kings.

“CK3 is buckets of fun, but it doesn’t require an intellectual juggernaut to play it,” said another user. “It’s just a really solid, entertaining game made by people who care about games. Personally, I’d put CK3 and BG3 at about the same level of “holy shit, this is why I play video games.”

Baldur’s Gate fans are very passionate about their favorite title, hence why they won Best Community, but refusing to date someone because they didn’t enjoy the game might be taking things a bit too far.
