Actually 4 stars, but see below
Long story short, there's a character who makes an offhanded remark that she's transgendered, and one of the creators made a remark about how the original Baldur's Gate was kind of sexist and how they were going to remedy that. They did so in a fairly hit or miss way, admittedly (by trying to build the character of characters who never really had any in the first place *because* they were sexist stereotypes to begin with), but apparently even marginal efforts to be inclusive and progressive are enough to send GamerGaters into an enormous bitch fit. So when you see people talking about it being "not Baldur's Gate" and "pushing a political agenda on you", what they mean is "one of the writers said something I don't like and I'm so terrified by transgendered people that a minor NPC offhandedly mentioning that they're trans is enough to send me into conniptions and give a perfectly serviceable game a one-star review. I'm playing on a mediocre computer at best and have had only a couple crashes, seen no real bugs to speak of except for a few graphical glitches, and basically find everything in the game to be at least "close enough". I'm happy to see people doing something with the Baldur's Gate licence enough that I'm willing to forgive a sketchy launch and some less-than-stellar writing at times. It's a shame that there are apparently so many gamers terrified and intimidated by the mere presence of a single minor NPC being transgendered and women doing the writing for one of their franchises that they have to abandon it completely to soothe their bruised egos. SoD isn't perfect, but it deserves better than a bunch of whiny self-persecuting GamerGaters crying about how Steam and Beamdog don't feel obligated to indulge their self-persecuting baby-d**ked screeching.
