Isn't this kind of off-topic?  I come here and pay my hard-earned money

LOL!
 
It has been a long time  since anyone here made this kind of
complaint. You really should just be happy this newsgroup is as active
as it  is.
 
But if it still bothering you, maybe Spalls can rescue the thread. He
once turned a completely off topic thread about cooking and microwave
ovens back on topic to remembering microwave ovens in video games.

What game are you currently playing that has a troll protagonist?

Not strictly the protag, but BG3's companions are trolling hard.

Wyll is definitely trolling me. I romanced him, forsaking Shadowheart in
the process. He demanded complete monogamous fealty, and then he doesn't
put out. All I've gotten out of him is a few stolen kisses, well into
Chapter III. I feel like I've been Rick Rolled.

Shadowheart, otoh, was eager (but not there yet). Lae'zel put out for no
reason after we defeated the goblins.

And Astarion just fucking killed me because he has no self-control.

And of course, the trolls are trolling, but that's just their nature. The
last one I met said that BG3 is not a "true RPG."

I ignored the obvious bait.

The protag can, of course, always make the decision to troll, but I've
been playing it pretty straight (excepting Wyll) so far.
