Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companions weren\u2019t supposed to be so horny Larian StudiosIt turns out that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companions weren\u2019t supposed to be so horny after all, as Larian Studios CEO has revealed it was initially just a bug, not an intentional feature. Larian Studios\u2019 CEO and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 director, Swen Vincke, has clarified that the game\u2019s unusually eager-to-please characters were not a design choice but rather a programming bug. When Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was released, players quickly noticed that the characters seemed unusually eager to jump into bed with them. So eager, in fact, that a new speedrunning category emerged, tasking players with seducing the Githyanki companion Lae\u2019zel in record time. The latest record? A staggering 2 minutes and 4 seconds. But as it turns out, these romantically aggressive companions weren\u2019t an intended feature of the game. Vincke recently clarified that the characters\u2019 low \u201capproval thresholds\u201d were actually a programming error. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t supposed to be that way. We\u2019ve fixed it since, at least for some of them. We\u2019re still fixing a few of them,\u201d Vincke said. Larian Studios had intended for the game to simulate real relationships, where companions don\u2019t instantly fall for the player. \u201cIt was supposed to simulate how real relationships are,\u201d Vincke explained. \u201cThere were a lot of people that enjoyed it. But it was too fast.\u201d However, the bug led to characters acting in ways that would be considered \u201cproblematic\u201d in real life, according to Vincke. While some players found the accelerated romances amusing, others criticized them as unrealistic and potentially troubling. Among the characters, Gale, the eloquent wizard, was notably impacted by this bug. Originally designed to be a complex character with nuanced relationships, Gale would instantly romance players due to the programming error. Players can now expect a more realistic courtship process with him and other companions in the game. It remains to be seen if Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 will uphold its title as one of the horniest RPGs of all time now following these changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
