Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 leaves internet shocked with animal love scene Larian StudiosDeveloper Larian Studios left the internet and their live audience shocked after showing an explicit romance scene in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 featuring a bear. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is set to release on August 3, 2023 on PC and September 6 on PS5, and RPG fans can\u2019t wait to get their hands on this much-anticipated title. Ahead of the upcoming release date, developer Larian Studios held a four-hour live stream called the Panel from Hell, which gave showed off a ton of new, in-game footage and detailed some returning mechanics. During the panel, the team showcased some of the relationship and romance scenes in the game. However, one of those explicit scenes showed the protagonist getting it on with a bear \u2014 leaving the internet (and a poor in-game squirrel) shocked at what they\u2019d just witnessed. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 animal romance scene leaves viewers stunned Towards the middle of the \u201cPanel from Hell\u201d stream, members of the dev team at Larian gave a brief look at how romance options could play out in BG3. The first romance scene showed off was rather tame, showing a Dragonborn protagonist going on a first date with one of the game\u2019s companions, Karlach. After the date scene with Karlach, Larian decided they will show off \u201canother side of the spectrum\u201d for the game\u2019s romance. However, with this scene, they decided they would let the online chat and the audience dictate the choices made during the scene. This time, the player character in the form of Astarion gets romantically involved with the Druid Halsin. When things are about to get hot and heavy, Halsin loses control and accidentally assumes his bear form. Upon changing back to his normal form, Halsin apologizes. Before the next option showed up, Larian\u2019s Swen Vincke noted the studio was \u201cAll about choice and consequences.\u201d Naturally, the first available option for the player to choose said: \u201cDon\u2019t apologize. I like it.\u201d As many would guess, both chat and the live audience immediately called to select the first option, which led to the protagonist ultimately getting it on with Halsin in his bear form. Thankfully, before things took too strange a turn, the scene humorously cut to a nearby squirrel eating an acorn, before dropping it in surprise at what was happening in front of it. The internet\u2019s reaction to the stream segment was a mixture of shock, confusion, and everything in between. Some comments included things like \u201cFurries are eating good I guess,\u201d and \u201cEvery day we stray further from God.\u201d Larian Studios was also banned on TikTok for the clip, as confirmed by the studio\u2019s Director of Publishing, Michael Douse. If nothing else, the scene certainly showcased the freedom of choice players have in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. For better or for worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
