Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 birder claims Larian doesn\u2019t know what a blue jay is Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fan and avid birder has claimed that developer Larian Studios doesn\u2019t actually know what a blue jay is. While there are plenty of humanoid NPCs to talk to in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, some of the most amusing conversations come from the various animals that populate each of the game\u2019s large areas. In their adventures through Larian Studio\u2019s sprawling RPG, players can interact with creatures like owlbear cubs, friendly dogs, squirrels, and even some birds. However, a BG3 fan and self-proclaimed \u201cavid birder\u201d has put forth some interesting evidence that the developer may not know what a blue jay is, based on some specific pieces of evidence throughout the game. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 calls out devs on blue jay behavior A Reddit user by the name AstroAri made a post on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit titled, \u201cLarian has no idea what a blue jay is and it\u2019s hilarious.\u201d In the post, they said, \u201cI\u2019m an avid birder, and blue jays are my favorite bird. So the portrayal of blue jays in this game is hysterically funny to me. It\u2019s extremely clear that Larian (a Belgian company) has absolutely no clue what a blue jay (a corvid endemic to North America) actually is.\u201d The OP provided evidence for their claims, such as the blue jay in the Druid\u2019s Grove being able to \u201cbeautifully\u201d sing. According to them, this behavior is \u201cunlike a real blue jay, who is only capable of screaming\u2026\u201d They also cited the blue jay encounter at the Rosymorn Monastery, where the bird will ask the player to help get rid of the Giant Eagles that took over his nest. \u201cA real blue jay would call up a bunch of his blue jay friends and attack the eagles en masse in an act called mobbing, because blue jays are suicidally overconfident.\u201d AstroAri capped off their post with the following: \u201cAbsolutely no shade at all to Larian, just poking some fun at them! I just found their portrayal of blue jays to be very funny as a Certified Bird Fan and wanted to share.\u201d While Larian\u2019s depiction of blue jays may not be all that accurate to real life, they certainly gave the ones you can find in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 quite the personalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
