Ah. Spoilers. Great.

- If you’ve managed to miss anything about the bear sex until this post, I’m honestly kind of impressed.

  Meh. As I get older I don't have my finger on the pulse anymore. Things come out and I go "oh cool" and I pick it up whenever.

  I've barely even talked to the dude who I assume is the wildshape you can romance. Of course I didn't know. I've been rolling with the boss bitches because all the good fighters are the ladies.

  It was one of the few things I DID know about this game lmao

  I have, but I doubt I'll be playing the game so I'll go read

  I specifically avoid most gaming sites and forums because I hate this type of casual spoiling. I don't want to have to avoid beehaw gaming too.
  
  I know a lot of people don't care about spoilers, and that's a-okay and a valid way to enjoy games. But surprises are very important to the way I enjoy them. I hardly ever replay games either, for this reason. I totally understand why some people don't care at all, but nonetheless, spoilers like this do affect my enjoyment of games. This one admittedly probably less so than most, but even so, I'd have rather not known ahead of time.
  
  Edit: ah, apparently this was part of a marketing campaign? That's more forgiveable, then, for people to be chatting about it, though I still don't want to know.

- Not really. It tells you that there’s a druid who can turn into a bear and there’s a romance option for him. That’s it.
  
  Doesn’t mention who he is or how he‘s relevant to the story. Most players won’t even see that scene in their first playthrough unless they explicitly look for it.

  That's the only thing I'm interested in the game for

  Yeah, that's really a small part of the game lmao. There are also way more companions in general than I thought there would be. I just recruited the druid last night and in the same area I recruited one other person and killed another who I thought was just a boss but apparently you can recruit. 3 potential companions from one dungeon is crazy lol

People obsess over the weirdest things. Just need to develop broader hobbies, instead of obsessing over video games. Like maybe read some Governor-General literary awards winning novels. Yeah.

- You linked to the wrong article.

Irritated this is in the title of post/article. Spoilers…

- Bear sex - the most important part of baldur's gate 3. Ruined for thousands.

- I understand frustration with potential spoilers, but to be fair this scene was in a livestreamed demo that Larian hosted that went viral before the game even launched. It's not been kept particularly secret and I don't think it's probably a major plot point.

  the point is that I should get to decide whether or not I learn about game stuff outside of the game. I did not watch any demos or play early access because I want to experience everything including the small stuff for the first time.
  
  I can control not watching YT/Twitch/etc but I can't control someone just full on posting a spoiler in the title of a post. If this was a BG3 community - fine. but it's general gaming.

Bear sex. Not what I would expect from this game but I haven’t played any in the series. It does make me want to play it just to see how this fits into the story tbh. Good marketing.

- It's a different dev then others.
  
  Its a side story were you can romance the companions your with, n the main story little to no impact

  Amazing. Love those kinds of side quests. Reminds me of Mass Effect.

- It fits right in. great RPG game has great elements that are expansive. part of the sell indeed.
  
  4
- That isn't even close to the weirdest sex scene you can barge in on in the game.
  
  But I won't spoil it for you.

  If it’s the one I’m thinking of, where you quite literally barge in on…oh, I could have done without that one. Hooooboy.

I guess this is the natural end state of having "talk to animals" as a spell.

4
- If you level it up enough, it becomes "sex with animals."

Awesome. Now if someone asks if I've played BG3, I can sardonically reply, "Isn't that the game with the bear sex in it?

::: The game has literal hobgoblin to ogre sex. Things are gonna get weird at times.

:::

Still feels weird to have barged in on that.
