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

My wife, a player since the early betas, was shocked that in the first 10 hours of playing after release I had already banged laezel despite my lack of interest in the romance aspect of the game.

This makes that make way more sense.

I’m really hoping for them to add in Iron Leaves, I couldn’t get it during the raid as it just kept defeating me

God I wish I loved this game as much as I love the headlines it makes, but my max CHA archfey warlock failing every other persuasion roll just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Have you tried having better luck?

fsxylo,

Yes, but on the way I tripped over a black cat and fell under a ladder onto a mirror, which then broke.

holupwaitaminute,

It took me til halfway through Act 2 to realize you’re supposed to click on roll bonuses like Guidance before rolling in order for them to be added to your total

Naz,

The fact that you didn’t know this means you were not getting the guidance bonuses from the deity.

If that happened to me in tabletop, I’d probably go knock over some tables at their respective chapel

(Take it as in-lore and with good humor lol)

To be fair, even with the bonuses, and karmic dice enabled, you can still end up rolling a 1 multiple times in a row.

That’s why I save on the roll screen before I toss the die. Go through inspiration/tools first. Then reload if I get fucked over. Because it just sucks failing a DC10 when you can only fail on a 1, since the game does not let you just take a 10.

Madbrad200,

Disable karmic dice and save scum before you roll.

fsxylo,

The save scumming is what pulled me out of the game. :( Felt like I was meta gaming and I didn’t want to do that in a D&D game.

How game b breaking are we talking about? Like slider set to 100 instead of 99, or are we talking about memory loop around, nuclear Gandi level of horny?

cowfodder, (edited )

Lae’zel simultaneously hated me and wanted the D. It wasn’t game breaking, but I know a couple of ace people that were a bit disturbed by the constant advances.

ursakhiin,

I accidentally ended up in a romance scene with a character I had clearly told I was not interested in them. I thought the scenes were just their side quests for a while.

But other than accidentally having dinner kinky sex in the game it wasn’t that big of a part.

Nope. Fuck you.

Can’t even reject all cookies. Like the personalized ads option only has an “accept” button. Isn’t that a GDRP violation?

sigmaklimgrindset,

You have to go into “manage settings” and the second header to get a “reject all cookies” option. Fucking bullshit tbh, because it was lagging out on my phone while I was trying to navigate it

Holy shit that person who did Todd Howard was spot on

Patariki,

Yes that’s the only one that looked the part. The others are hardly recognisable.

wccrawford,

Yeah, most of them are “we have X at home” quality.

rDrDr,

Pretty sure it said that one was fake.

one fan took matters into their own hands to create a concept of what he may look like - outside of the game itself.

Now this is a headline

Oh, flashlight

csolisr,

Not gonna lie, I misread it at first and thought to myself “yeah, Todd Howard fans are that maniacal, makes sense”

I tried to create Amos from The Expanse. It only took like 10 minutes though I will admit I did a poor job and nobody would guess by looking at him.

WarmSoda,

That’s a great character to pick

Is this why there’s that speedrun to have sex with that one woman?

If you read the title of the article you’ve read the article. It doesn’t really elaborate on it anymore than that sentence.

JackbyDev,

Gamers are loving Baldur’s Gate 3 and wowee wow they’re really loving it. It’s a good game.

However some gamers have been SLAMMING the game on Twitter (X). It turns out, Lae’zel may have been too horny due to a bug!

jmcs,

I bet 5 euros they changed some value to make it faster to test romance scenes during QA and then forgot about it.

MJBrune,

Those are usually locked away behind command lines and they don’t test with random chance or such. You trigger the things directly. Realistically what probably happened is some engineer wrote the system slightly wrong and no one caught it. Possibly maybe a designer requested the romance to be more prominent and the solution on engineering side was to tweak a value. It’s be surprised if anyone changes hard coded values for QA. It’s not the 90s anymore where qa is the engineering team.

TheOakTree,

Or perhaps the QA team is especially horndog, like some statistical anomaly.

Probably not, but funny to think about.

MJBrune,

QA aren’t build engineers. They don’t get to pick what makes it into a build. If anything it’d be sometime in design or engineering. Not QA.
