In a livestream detailing the launch of the long-awaited RPG sequel, gamers learned that they can get more than they bargained for with the game’s romances.
Recently Larian Studios—the developers behind the beloved Divinity: Original Sin games tasked with the daunting prospect of continuing the legacy of the Baldur’s Gate series, some of the most iconic Dungeons & Dragons games ever made—made a big fuss about the scope of its game. More dialogue than Lord of the Rings! Cutscenes longer than Game of Thrones! I care not for these things. I care for literally wild sex with handsome druids.
Thankfully, today’s “Panel From Hell” livestream by Larian, offering a look at the game before it releases after an extensive Early Access period early next month, confirmed that players will be able to get exactly that. Taking a closer look at several romance scenes that players will be able to experience with Baldur’s Gate 3’s cast of characters, Larian demoed two encounters on pretty much the opposite ends of the raunchiness spectrum. The first saw a Dragonborn player character—one of the 11 options from Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, the system that drives BG3’s mechanics, available—go on a date in the titular Sword Coast city with Karlach Demonsbane, a female Tiefling Barbarian, wining and dining them in a cute little restaurant scene.
