Before Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 became one of the most successful games of 2023, winning numerous Game of the Year awards and surpassing just about everyone\u2019s expectations, developer Larian Studios shocked the world by announcing one of its intimate moments would feature some human-on-bear action. Of course, the moment takes place between two consenting adults, with one being a Druid capable of using Wild Shape to transform into a bear. Even still, the scene was the subject of much online scrutiny and many jokes, some of which came at the expense of the director\u2019s son. The shock and intrigue around the Halsin bear sex scene has died down a bit now that the game has been out for nearly half a year. Still, some fans are taking issue with it, though not for the reasons you may expect. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players disappointed they can\u2019t get bear-on-bear action While some may have some ethical issues with interspecies intimacy \u2013 even if it\u2019s really just Halsin in bear form \u2013 others have expressed frustration with the infamous scene for very different reasons. As Reddit user Thick-Werewolf8821 asked on the BG3 subreddit, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I turn into a bear- for that scene\u201d while playing as a Druid. While Druid players can become bears themselves, the Halsin scene plays out the same way regardless of your character or their class. The user jokingly gave Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 an abysmal 0\/10 review score, claiming it had \u201cno player freedom.\u201d Some commenters have tried to explain why Larian would not let players, as the poster put it \u201cget down and dirty bear style\u201d \u2013 outside of the obvious resource restraints. \u201cBecause bear on bear sex is mundane. You see that all the time,\u201d one commenter joked. \u201cLiterally unplayable smh,\u201d claimed another. Others lamented that their Druid avatars can\u2019t engage in Wild Shape sex themselves regardless of who they\u2019re romancing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have one major issue with that infamous bear scene Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are taking issue with the infamous bear sex scene between the player and the Druid Halsin, but their complaint is probably not the one you\u2019re expecting.
