I was thinking that it was the horniest game I’ve ever played, but I didn’t see it as a problem. Also, a bit of topic, but the steam reviews from mad players who “accidentally” did the nasty with the unintended persons is hilarious. They should have selected the nohomo dialog option.
Sexuality? In my fiction?? I’d rather not
Yeah, I particularly like the part in lord of the rings where Gandalf randomly tries to fuck Frodo because there was a small approve notification earlier when Frodo helped him open the door to moria.
Who needs interesting writing when you can make sex and fart jokes every five seconds?
To an extent I sometimes agree with the complaints about playersexual, but in this instance it feels like they’re just grasping for a reason to not be called a prude.
They posted a counterpoint, too

I’ve been playing the game with my characters completely naked so far. Hide the armor and take off their underwear and they’ll just run around in their birthday suits in battle, in the open world, and in cutscenes.
I think it’s really fun especially when you have shitty lvl 1/2 armor that looks stupid anyway. Maybe I’ll unhide their armor once I get some nicer looking gear. For now it’s tits and dicks everywhere.

Every character can toggle visibility on helmets and toggle aesthetics as “camp” or “armor”. Camp can be nude if you like. When toggled to camp it doesn’t seem to effect stats in any way, just what they look like.
That exists on every character.
All characters have that. Hit tab to open team view, and on the upper right of each characters window there’s a little checkbox to toggle it on and off. Camp armor and regular armor.
I think the relationship threshold for the sex stuff needs to be higher. In my playthrough, I was propositioned by at least 3 different characters, and I was literally roleplaying a serial killer. I made no attempt at all to get them to like me. I think that stuff should only happen if the player has been seeking it out. And I don’t just mean the sex scenes themselves, horny dialogue and thinly veiled suggestions should happen less often and later in the story (like at least halfway through, certainly not in act 1). It especially stands out since the rest of the writing is pretty good, so an obvious “hey Player, wanna see a sex scene” moment is very out of place.
This is so cringe.
Completely agreed with the PCGamer article. I quit playing the game because it reminded me of Kojima’s handling of female characters and it just made me really, really uncomfortable that so many NPCs seem to be written only to be horny. BG3 genuinely, hands down, plays out like a porn game very often. I don’t want to play a porn game. I want to play a CRPG.
It is entirely unnecessary and forced and I can only wonder what kind of gamergate people were involved in the decision making there.
I love how this game handles sex and romance, it’s unashamed with a sex-positive mindset, something that just seems natural to me but I guess I’m just weird.
Weirdos of the world unite! I’m all for equal-opportunity horniness lol.
I guess it’s unnatural for a large group of people, since a lot of people aren’t sex positive due to upbringing or some other factors.
I’m personally mostly okay with how the game handles sex and romance, and I also have friends who are completely okay with the game’s nudity as well (heck we even have a multiplayer character running around naked in camp lol). But I do have some other friends who were taken aback when character customization came up and genital customization was a thing.
Yeah! Glad to see so many people agree with our point of view as well. Religion and other factors have done so much damage to so many people, it’ll be a slow process I’m sure but maybe games like these will help fix our culture are reverse those puritanical and prudish views.
Truly, we will only reach a peak progressive egalitarian society when we are back to treating women like sex dolls. So right bestie.
What the hell? I just want people to be able to be open about sexual topics and be okay with displaying their bodies without getting attacked or shunned. And for people to play games with anywhere from a little or a lot of sexual content without the fear of it being censored and them being called perverts and weirdos and whatever else, BG3 is a shining example of this.
And if you think that it’s about treating women like sex dolls then I feel like you should take a good long look at yourself.
Your entire account is video game porn mods catering to horny men who are afraid of or disgusted by real women.
It’s not about “being comfortable with people’s bodies”, it’s about shaming women as “prudes” if they do not feel comfortable the power dynamic that often comes with sex in hetero society (especially with straight men) being shoved in their faces and told to participate. “Stop being a prude” is the equivalent of “smile more (for me)” or “start wearing less”.
I do not have to participate in men’s power fantasies about fictional women because they never talked to a real woman and think that boob armor and 2B’s design are the pinnacle of womanhood and “liberating sexuality” while the only thing it does is making them into sex objects to be stared at and thirsted after like some kind of predator-prey dynamic or product to buy at the market. There is nothing liberating about it.
Y’all just want to jerk off to women. Just admit that you just want to jerk off to naked women. It has nothing to do with “being open about sexual topics”, or about sexual liberation, it has everything to do with getting your dick hard and thinking it’s some kind of political statement at the same time. Male (or male socialized) savior syndrome.
BG3 clearly, obviously caters to sweaty D&D neckbeards’ fantasies about “smeggsy” women, mid-tier fantasy writing and fulfilling their power fantasy of murdering, fucking indiscriminately, and avoiding responsibility at the same time. It’s the entire concept of the game. It is made by and for typical Redditors. There is nothing liberating about a porn game. There is no authentic romance, no negotiation of consent, no talking, no connecting as human people, there is only “playersexual” NPCs handcrafted to get predatory men horny who think they’re entitled to women’s (and these NPCs’) bodies and attention. It’s a power fantasy.
Right off the top you made a super bold assumption about my account and about me thus I won’t give you the time of day. Not like I could change your bigoted ass point of view even if I wanted to. Good bye.
removed by mod
I mean, it was Greece.
That’s why it’s so weird. You’re an adult in that game.
This isn’t Assassin’s Creed: Vatican.
What?
Oh, I see.
Lmao have an upvote
“I’m no prude” and then rant at how too horny BG3 supposedly is… Yes you are very prude fellow.
I don’t want every one of my games to be turned into porn. I am not a teenage boy who was taught that sex was the epitome of humor and life enjoyment. I want a little more mature writing than that.
Besides, the way that these game developers write sex scenes and romance could not be further removed from my lived experiences.
So, how was your bear sex different from the game?
Nah. I’m a prude: I prolly won’t play BG3 now. I’m big on sci-fi and I’ve never liked overtly horny interactions. The Culture novels handle it well and it didn’t annoy me. Vernor Vinge had problems deciding if he was writing scifi or rape fantasies.
I’m here for motherfucking space lasers.
You can turn off nudity in BG3, but it won’t push your buttons if you exclusively get off on space lasers.
Pew pew baby.
When you swap underwear with another character they don’t even mention it, no options to seduce NPC’s for fun or profit, sex doesn’t go into a turn based mode with various special traits and action options based on class and alignment…
I’m just saying if I made it then it’d be far hornier.
I want to roll dice to determine how good the sex was
Multiple skills to use there, Acrobatics, Performance, Survival, and Religion.
Survival
What are you planning to do cunnilingus with that requires the survival skill
Eating, for one.
Bioware or someone should take notes, there clearly is a market for this according to this thread.
How am I supposed to identify as my character and get immersed in being them if people want to have sex with them?
I haven’t played this game, but I’m glad to hear it. Honestly video games aren’t horny enough.
