A South Park gag about Baldur’s Gate 3 cross-saves earns it a talking-to from the developer.
It’s not quite the leviathan of TV satire it once was, but there must still be some thrill in seeing South Park reference something you’ve made. No one needed the rude cartoon boys to confirm that Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a huge success, but a joke about cross-dimensional BG3 save files in the latest South Park special does underscore how wildly mainstream the D&D RPG has gone. You’ve definitely made it when South Park mentions you.
But like a good, stern DM who doesn’t let the rules go out the window just because the players are joking around, Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios was quick to log an objection to the gag. Greeting the show with a wonderfully dry „Hello @SouthPark,“ the studio pointed out that the joke misrepresents BG3’s cross-save capabilities.
