Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players shocked by offensive name for deity Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 isn\u2019t afraid to use every aspect of D&D lore, including some dodgy nicknames that priests use for their gods, which are shouted during a certain fight. While chosen worshipers of the Dead Three are among the villains in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, not all evil gods are so direct in their involvement with the world. In fact, many evil gods have temples and shrines in major cities because you don\u2019t want to annoy them, especially if their portfolio involves your life in some way. Umberlee, the evil goddess of the sea, is one such deity that is openly worshiped. She represents the capricious nature of the oceans, so you REALLY don\u2019t want to get on her bad side if you\u2019re planning on making a journey across water. You can encounter priests of Umberlee in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, and they aren\u2019t afraid to use the more colorful nicknames for the goddess. A user on the BG3 Reddit was surprised to learn that Umberlee is commonly referred to as \u201cThe Bitch Queen\u201d by residents of the Forgotten Realms. \u201cUmberlee is a god the average person doesn\u2019t worship so much as beg not to kill them (her alignment is chaotic evil),\u201d one user explained, \u201cWhich is fitting enough for a sea god. She knows she\u2019s a bitch and revels in it.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s a funny banter between Astarion and Halsin at the temple about it,\u201d another user wrote, \u201cHalsin worries that something said is going to offend her and Astarion replies something like, \u201cShe purposely goes by The Bitch Queen. I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll care.\u201d \u201cYes she\u2019s the fickle goddess of the sea. You leave offerings for Umberlee not in the hope of gaining her favor but rather in the hope she ignores you,\u201d one user wrote, while a House of the Dragon watcher said, \u201cAh, she\u2019s embracing her inner Criston Cole.\u201d Umberlee\u2019s nickname is actually revealed at the start of the game, though it\u2019s easy to miss. If you search the area near where you land after the Nautiloid crash, you can find a book of sea shanties about her, kept by local fishermen in the region. There are a ton of nods to D&D lore in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, and as the infamous bear scene proved, the developers aren\u2019t afraid to touch the spicier bits. When it comes to Umberlee, her nickname is as well-known as her actual name, though you probably don\u2019t want to say it out loud if you\u2019re planning on going on a cruise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
