Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players want a \u201cshort king\u201d in their party Larian StudiosWhile there are so many races to explore in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, many fans are wondering why such diversity isn\u2019t wholly reflected by their party. In Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, heroes come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Whether you\u2019re a Half-Orc or a Halfling, you\u2019re just as capable of taking on the game\u2019s epic adventure. With that in mind, some players have started to question why select races are absent from the roster of recruitable companions. While there\u2019s more variance among temporary companions and hirelings, your core party is missing five of the game\u2019s ten playable races \u2014 a circumstance that is being deemed a missed opportunity by many on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players call for greater party diversity Sharing their thoughts on Reddit, one user stated: \u201cI just think it\u2019s kind of a shame that we can\u2019t get companions of half of the races,\u201d going on to say, \u201cSure we have hirelings, but they don\u2019t have interactions like the others\u201d. Other Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans expressed their agreement saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a shame we don\u2019t have more dragonborn in the game, and it\u2019s weird that not a single companion is any of the three shorter races\u201d. Speculating as to why certain races didn\u2019t make the cut, a few players suggested that issues around \u201cglitchy\u201d dialogue and romance scenes for short characters could be at play. Others believed it to be less of a problem of the practicality and more of an aesthetic one: \u201cThe reality is, if Shadowheart were a gnome she\u2019d be like 1\/20th as popular. The sex appeal of the companions is genuinely a huge selling point of the game\u201d. However, given Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans\u2019 colorful in-game romantic history, it\u2019s hard to imagine a companion\u2019s short stature or strange appearance would deter their thirst too much. As OP succinctly put it, \u201cI just wanted to f*ck a dragon or a short king\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
