Baldur's Gate 3 characters were super-horny due to a bug, Larian admit

www.rockpapershotgun.com Baldur's Gate 3 characters were super-horny due to a bug, Larian admit

Baldur's Gate 3 is a relentlessly horny videogame, Alice B wrote back in August, and that certainly describes the shock…

I was a bit taken aback when almost every character in my camp was quick to jump my bones very early on, this explains it.

can they release a bugfix for real life too?

- I've always wanted to fuck a bear

  Oh my god. I literally just made that connection. The druid guy is a bear in EVERY aspect.

- The first romance with Lae’zel one of the dialogues of an “if I don’t say yes to bangin” response she mentioned a party and I was confused. Clearly you weren’t supposed to get that far until the grove celebration, but this was my second long rest and I hadn’t done much of anything in Act 1.

The green lizard lady hitting on me was a bit much. Meanwhile the cute cleric girl is a little too into her little goddess to talk to me.

55
- Different strokes for different folks, I let her have her brutal wicked way with me.

  She commanded me and I obeyed. It was pretty fucking hot.

  So long as there's consent

- Its like highschool all over again

  Which part, the green lizard lady or the cute cleric girl? I mean, I know Australia has some gnarly wildlife but didn't think it was part of the dating pool
  
  14
- Just like irl tbh

I can't unlock the Withers romance arch no matter how hard I don't try.

- Yeah I had to turn down wyll, and it made me super sad because I didn't like him like that. He's a good friend but I really wish I could say, "I'd die for you, but because you are my good friend, I don't like you like that." Same with Gale. Halsin or Lae'zel are the ones I'm lookin for.
  
  Edit: Oops, not supposed to be a reply, sorry friend.

  Lae'zel
  
  You kinky af breh

- I read the screen in the background on the left as saying "we (no longer) thrust" at first and was like "that's really on the nose."

- Vincke literally says it's a bug

Somewhere at Larian code review: "Whaddya mean hot_for_anal doesn't control the horizon of threshold for analysis. What else could it... Oh. Ooooh..."

Spoilers ahead, be warned!

The strangest thing by far for me was whenever I went to sleep and this shirtless mindflayer tried to bang me. What the actual fuck was that? I have 0 indication that I was even into you.

25
- I went for the tentacle sex on my evil character (just finished first run!). Totally did not expect what happened to happen but just rolled with it haha.
  
  10
  
  That's how I would discribe losing my virginity. Minus the tentacle sex part.
  
  9
- I had that happen last night and I’m still not ok. My poor tiefling is definitely not going to sleep anytime soon.
  
  5
- Subconsciously maybe? 😂
  
  5
  
  Lol maybe dude is literally just like “I showed you my house, pls respon” like bruh I don’t trust you at all
  
  7
and yet Scratch has never once propositioned me

22
- He's a good boy, not a naughty one.
  
  onthulling
  
  However if you find the jar of peanut butter in Moonrise tower kitchen... nope this feels wrong, sorry all

due to a bug

*a worm

- A tadpole, if you will

I experienced the wonky romance implementation both ways. Some, like Lae'zel and (especially) Halsin went from 0-100 in the blink of an eye, which was very annoying.

However, I also got permanently friendzoned by Karlach, Wyll and Astarion because I didn't take enough Long Rests in Act 1, so important character moments with those three never happened for me. I've heard Wyll invites you to dance, but I never got that, nor the night time creeping from Astarion. These moments seem to be required, because I've been locked out of all relationship progression with those three characters. I'm at the end of Act 3 now and they've not had much to say since the start of Act 2 . Hopefully this has or will be fixed, though.

EDIT: clearer wording.

18
- Is THAT why both laezel and karlach were like "it fizzled" and why my boy wyll won't pound my demon receptacle? Because that's a little upsetting
  
  10
  
  we must of course transmit the wyll to you in a receptacle
  
  3
- My gf got wyll to ask her to dance (well her character) and we’re in Act 2 already so maybe it just takes some time.
  
  6
  
  My Wyll danced with me near the end of Act 2, as well. The next night Gale got all emo and wanted to watch the stars with me. Y'all are too late I'm a Shart main

  I finished the game today and it never happened.
  
  2
- If you are not in act 3 yet, go back to act 1 and spam partial rests, most of the events that you skipped will happen.

  I was at the door of the final fight as I wrote the comment and finished the game later that day.

I always wondered why Lae'zel wanted to bang, and we never talked much before the Grove. I'm a Shadowheart simp, though, so I turned down the Battle-sex.

18
- My Vengeance Paladin was down for some nightly cardio. Dumped her ass the minute I met Karlach though, Karlach is best girl, 100%

  No contest. The nine hells've never created better.

  In my next playthrough, I'm creating a Tiefling and climbing that Outlander's....huge tracks of land.

  That's good to hear soldier but I'm not sure if I can contain my heat much longer if you say something like this. 🥵
  
  2
- Save scumming. This is the way.
  
  3
And here I am, still trying to get my first smooch from the fiery teddy bear that is karlach.

17
- It's worth it.
  
  6
- Throw them water! A watter bottle, the create water spell, anything that makes them wet. Ray of frost...

  Not sure if sarcastic or actually true. Will try it next time XD
  
  But I will save first

60 hours from now, just before the final battle

Oh you sweet summer child..

17
Bug? Or undocumented feature?

16
- Probably an easter egg
  
  2
Will they release a classic speedrun version for the sex% scene?

14
Gale and Wyll seemed to be the two that didn’t try to jump my bones right out of the gate, I just seemed to pick the non-saucy options for them I guess. Everyone else is a super-slut and nobody seems to care that I’m hitting on everyone else.

14
- Funny, those are the two I had to hold back with a broom.
  
  22
  
  Same here! The look on Wyll's face when I politely turned him down gave RL me 3 points of psychic damage..
  
  6
  
  I turned Gale down and then he tried again eventually. No means no dude

I do gotta say, this game has made me understand the "role" playing aspect.

I don't think I've ever done anything beside "good" and "bad".

14
This must have been the only bug I didn't have. Only Lae'zel and Minthara were super thirsty without having to do anything but play the game (and even then it kinda fit the character for both considering what triggers the encounter). Wyll's also kinda happened but that one you did have to want it pretty bad to get it, even if it was easy. Otherwise it's just an awkward moment when you catch him dancing.

Everyone else? It's like nobody wanna ride the dragon dick. 🤷🏻‍♂️

13
- In my case that moment was made somewhat more awkward by a bug causing his camp clothes to disappear so that he was just dancing around naked 😳 😂
  
  On the plus side, it made me laugh out loud when Wyll suddenly appeared naked and doing a somewhat goofy walk in the background while one of the other characters was telling me something serious 😅

The only one who has flirted like crazy with me was Astarion. Maybe he's really into bright orange dragonborn.

11
- Me too, I just thought that was his personality. I mean, it fits.
  
  15
- I never even got him in my party.... why would I trust a guy who tries to jump me first chance he got?
  
  7
  
  Aw you are missing out, he's the most fun character IMO and his VA absolutely kills it.
  
  6
- What's his name, Trump?
  
  -7
It's good to know I wasn't imagining things, I made a comment just after release saying I was over seemingly every character trying to fuck

9
Planned bug to stir up interest in the game. Every post I saw from the beginning concerned a sexual encounter with someone. I have no idea what the rest of the game is like.

6
- It’s actually a dating & sex simulator, the adventuring is just like a small mini-game, it’s filler more than anything.
  
  18
The first romance with Lae’zel one of the dialogues of an “if I don’t say yes to bangin” response she mentioned a party and I was confused. Clearly you weren’t supposed to get that far until the grove celebration, but this was my second long rest and I hadn’t done much of anything in Act 1.
