What kind of bug? A Spanish fly?

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

jplate8, do games w Starfield players create famous faces in-game, and a Todd Howard flashlight

Oh, flashlight

csolisr,

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

And here I thought I was just really good at character creation.

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

He is that guy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

eratic,
@eratic@feddit.uk avatar

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

ryven,
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

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.

beefcat,
@beefcat@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Swedneck,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

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.

arashikage,
@arashikage@lemmy.world avatar

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,
BrandoGil,
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. :::

@Maolmi@feddit.de avatar

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. 😉
