Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.
Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.
Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

I assume today this would raise a discussion if the maid gets raped.
The questionable consent in The Lusty Argonian Maid is totally intentional, but should be taken in context, because in lore it's
who is
spoiler
a wealthy and influential NPC who, after spending lots of time doing a series of quests for him to advance in his faction, he hits you with a quest to take off all your equipment so he can see the player character naked, and if you refuse to do this you can't advance further in that quest line. This happens regardless of your character's gender. He's depicted as a sex pest and a creep in a way that feels very personal and elicits a strong negative reaction, because you can't say no without making a meaningful sacrifice within the game.I admit I did not pay attention to the lore and read as a fune porn book in-universe to not put too much thinking into.
I suppose this would make me the normie who doesn't realize the heinous stuff going on behind the funny joke, very on point.
I appreciate you providing this info, I just looked up this guy because I do not remember encountering him. He is originally from Morrowind, it turns out, and I did not play Morrowind yet so I knew none of the context. Thanks for taking what might have been intended to be an outrage bait those-damn-SJWs comment (or maybe it was intended innocently! I've been wrong before) and using it to jump off into something people could start an actual discussion about.
