Empathy, do gaming w Baldur's Gate 3's companions were overly horny due to a bug

Great to know this was a bug. It felt a tad immersion breaking for every origin character to be so interested all of a sudden.

It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love
We’ll give it a shot

Any interest would be immersion breaking for me…

It was immersion breaking, but I’m not complaining about not having to work hard for dommy mommy Lae’zel.

malloc, do games w Starfield players create famous faces in-game, and a Todd Howard flashlight

I wonder how long this takes people. Couple of hours? All day? Customizing characters in game for me is a tedious task. I usually just pick a preset most of the time so I can start playing.

Most games you don’t even see the character model (Diablo 3)

Vladkar,

I always end up with some kind of potato man that looks worse than the presets, then immediately put a helmet on that never comes off.

BruceTwarzen,

I always try to make myself. But i always pretty much look like the default character

rhacer,

My problem right now is I created my character and am very happy with them in character creator, but when I look at him in game I’m unhappy. I’ve even paid to tweak him a bit and it’s better but I’m still not happy.

My character looks like they have plastic skin in game. Thought it was fine in the creator.

I’m like 90% sure that the character creator has lighting features enabled that are normally disabled for performance reasons, which is why it’s much easier to look good in the character creator than it is in the game.

If I’m right, maybe modders can “fix” it (although it will probably tank performance).

Ilikepornaddict,

Doesn’t need to tank performance. Instead of turning on the lighting elsewhere, they could turn it off in character creation so you can see what it’ll actually look like.

The extra shaders are also applied to NPCs when you talk to them. But there’s never really a way to see the player’s face with these features outside the character creator.

paid to tweak him? you… you don’t mean actual real money, right?

wccrawford,

There are “enhance” locations in the game that you can pay 500 credits to remake your character. No, not real money.

Spent about two hours making a good looking character face in Elden Ring just to wear a full helm 99% of the game. No regrets.

Seems better than Gandhi’s nukes.

Madbrad200, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's companions were overly horny due to a bug

I had a convo with gale at the celebration post goblin camp and he was all about inviting me to see some magic trick and I was like cool, sure why not

then I speak to asterion and he’s like “so your’e gonna fuck gale huh? Good on ya man”

I was like, what?

the romance in this game is definitely forced and overly aggressive

FracturedEel,

Yeah I just had a scene where wyll asked me to dance and I was ready to dunk on him with my skillz but instead they danced and make out and the game didn’t even ask me if I wanted to

bane_killgrind,

You might have missed a lot of signals over the years if you didn't grok that his hips weren't lying.

BrandoGil,

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean I wanted to be water brothers with him!

bane_killgrind,

bane_killgrind,

HAHA gross but I love all the John Carter stories, I'm going to read that book for the different take on mars.

BrandoGil,

It’s SO good

______, (edited )

This is the classic mass effect dialogue option meme where you pick a mellow option and then the MC lashes out.

A: “No.” B: “that’s a great idea”

You pick a. Then: “Why would you ever suggest that idea, that’s horrible, I want you out of my group!”

Ugh, I hate bad PC writing. It's bad enough when it's "I agree 100%," "I agree 100% and wanna s your d," and "You're the stupidest, ugliest, evilest piece of absolute crap I have ever seen in my life and I'd kill you myself if it wouldn't get your blood in the carpet" but then some games just insist on somehow making it non-obvious which is which >:|

correcthorsedickbatterystaple,

"hi lae'zel we just met --"

"i want your moisture"

ohhhhkay

Cypher,

I literally took all the options that piss her off short of killing her and she still tried coming onto my PC.

I really hope that has been fixed.

JonEFive,

I mean, being a combative dick to her is pretty much her aphrodisiac.

pory,
@pory@lemmy.world avatar

Any other character I’d agree with you, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Lae’zel is into that.

SpiderShoeCult,

Yup, sounds pretty much in character.

:::spoiler Spoiler

I mean she literally has you fight her as a romantic encounter, initiative roll and all. :::

Bae’zel fucking me after I slaughtered the whole goblin camp was totally ok for her character.

Trystan,

The article said it was a bug remember

Chev,

I never went to camp when they invited me to the party and the next time I saw everybody was in act 2. Did I miss a lot?

Madbrad200,

Kind of sorta not really?

It’s a fun wrap-up to act 1 before you dive into the underdark or the mountain pass. It also serves as an important relationship set-up - it’s where you’re meant to establish who you want to romance, if anyone.

But it’s probably not required so

If people liked it, it would have been a feature. 😉

I think I have this same bug [humps comment button]

they’ve been tweaked? I started playing last week and I still feel like everyone is desperate for what’s in my pants

geosoco,

Maybe you just know how to charm people?

JJROKCZ,

There’s been at least one patch and one hotfix in the past week, one of them might have done it

Aaaw, but I liked getting jumped by everybody immediately. Made those charisma points feel earned.

Yeah it felt like at that moment everyone was corrupted by Slaanesh. Was awkward just tryna forward my companion quests.

TheTick, do games w DF Weekly: Is FSR 3 frame generation viable for console games?

If implemented this should hopefully, at the very least be a way to make up for the shortcomings of the series s. I’ll gladly take improved frame rates and timings on my Series X though. At the 12’ I play away from my 55" TV, any drops in quality will likely be unnoticeable. FSRR and the like are some fantastic technologies, and they keep getting better and more exciting.

BobKerman3999, do xbox w Bethesda hired the creator of a Skyrim clutter mod to design Starfield's "lighting and clutter"

Isn’t this a betrayal of trust? She disclosed the stuff after the fact, how can you trust her again? She should have said she works for them for the beginning.

tehevilone,

Considering how much work Elianora has done for the modding community, not really.

Plus, it’s active game dev. Of course they’re gonna have to sign a form of NDA, and given they’re known for their work, it makes sense that BethSoft would have a clause stopping any discussion of work before launch.

BobKerman3999,

So then no comment until the NDA expires. Doing this to me looks like hidden self promotion

Solarius,

Why can’t you trust a modder because they got hired for the company that owns the game they’re modding for? I’m so lost

BobKerman3999,

Because they are going to prop up this game if it is shit. Fake surprise when showing their own work? Wtf

Solarius,

why would one modder prop up a game lol

Zahille7,

Do you just want to be angry at something?

If you’ve played all the mainline Bethesda games until now, I’m pretty sure you’re not gonna be worried that this will flop. I haven’t played it yet myself, but I’m only seeing great things about the game so far.

BobKerman3999,

No, I’m just upset that sponsorships are not disclosed

@JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world avatar

That makes a lot of sense.

CaptainEffort, do xbox w Bethesda hired the creator of a Skyrim clutter mod to design Starfield's "lighting and clutter"

Elianora never made a “Skyrim Clutter mod”, but she did make dozens of immaculate player homes that have extremely well thought out clutter within them.

This isn’t a huge surprise either, as she worked with Bethesda in making some of the CC content.

gk99, do gaming w The Chinese Room is developing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

I cannot extract a silver lining out of this announcement no matter how hard I try. This is like Activision announcing that the next Call of Duty will be made by Mojang, they’re just so fucking grossly incompatible with each other that it makes absolutely zero sense.
