It’s not just a digital recreation, it’s physical acting. This article quotes a motion-capture performer:

Ms Jefferies told the BBC she was once asked to act out a scene with a male performer involving a sexual assault with no prior warning.

“I turned up and was told what I would be filming would be a graphic rape scene,” she said.

"This act could be watched for as long or as little time as the player wanted through a window, and then a player would be able to shoot this character in the head.

“It was just purely gratuitous in my opinion.”

She refused to act out the “disgusting” scene - which was made worse as she was the only female on set.

“There’s no nudity involved, but its still an act and there’s an intimacy in that act and also a violence in this situation,” she said.

“So yes there may be a layer of Lycra between us, but you are still there and still having to truly immerse yourself in this scene.”

In the end her concerns were listened to and the scene was not recorded.

Next one ditches all the filler and just goes straight to shagging a series of elves, demons, were-bears, cthulhus, etc. One after another, there are so many cthulhus to shag and you are the chosen one.

There’s also no statute of limitations with Baldur’s Gate games. When there are people still getting into the previous games in the series for the first time 20 years after they were released, you have a little more of a grace period before considering yourself “late to the game.”
