South Park takes aim at Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 but the devs won\u2019t let it slide Paramount GlobalSouth Park fans already know that no one is safe from a well-placed barb but the team behind Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 isn\u2019t afraid to fact-check them. South Park\u2019s latest special Joining the Panderverse takes a no-holds-barred swing at Disney\u2019s controversial attempts at inclusivity. The trailers alone had fans convinced it was firing shots at Rachel Zegler\u2019s Snow White. South Park: Joining the Panderverse stopped short at direct mentions of Snow white but brought up familiar criticisms of Indiana Jones 5. The special blamed many recent Disney failures on Kathleen Kennedy and her apparent propensity to \u201cput a chick in it and make it lame\u201d. One thing we didn\u2019t expect to see brought up was Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 although with South Park\u2019s famed Red Dead Redemtpion 2 references, we shouldn\u2019t be surprised. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker were caught slipping with their Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 joke though and Larian Studios were quick to correct the record. A tiny throwaway plot point in South Park: Joining the Panderverse is that the always genocidal, sometimes homicidal Eric Cartman is obsessed with Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. So much so that even his multiversal counterpart, an adult African-American woman, is as well. Claiming they want to return to the Panderverse, this stand-in for Cartman tricks the boys into building a gaming rig that can run Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. They are dejected to learn that they cannot load their 50-hour save file across the dimensional gap. \u201cSave games don\u2019t even cross between PCs and PS5s, why would they cross between multiple universes?\u201d Stan says to them. The only problem with the bit is that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 does indeed have cross-save features and Larian had to let folks know. \u201cHello South Park,\u201d they began in a Tweet. \u201cWhile Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 saves can\u2019t cross multiversal barriers, we can confirm they do actually transfer between PC and PS5!\u201d It\u2019s a shame the inaccuracy dampened the punchline a little but we\u2019re still happy to see one of our favourite games get any sort of shoutout. The recreation of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s title screen in South Park\u2019s signature style is a cherry on top. There are no officially announced plans for Larian to implement any sort of transdimensional cross-save in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. If they do decide to, we\u2019ll be the first to let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
