Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 3, which was so massive Larian held it back a day to test it properly, will release today, and it'll add an RPG feature many of us have been requesting since we stepped clear of the Nautiloid - the ability to change a character's appearance. Alas, it comes too late for the Wood Elf Druid I rolled during my first try at the 1.0 version. I wanted her to look like a sort of Kung Fu Galadriel, with cool tattoos and aerodynamic scars, but she emerged from the character creator looking like she'd been mugged by a packet of demon crayons. I've left my active character, a High Elf Sorceress, safely tattoo-less.

The bear fucking was one thing. But the damn genital-less mindflayers even want to jump your bones. This is the horniest game since Leisure Suit Larry!

Modded Bethesda games since(and including) Morrowind want a word about being the horniest games.

[-] LoafyLemon@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The fact is, vanilla Bethesda games are as dry as they come. At least when it comes to any form of adult content, even implied. Baldur's Gate 3, on the other hand, is down bad through, and through.

Hey, so am I, so I'm here for it. I <3 this slut game.

I'm not judging.

The Lusty Argonian Maid wants to have a talk with you.

Wonder how many furries that short story awoke...

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I'd imagine the presence of lizard and cat people as playable characters did more for that than a little bit of suggestive in game flavor text tbh

[-] Ghost33313@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Morrowind had some pretty crazy implied stuff if you went down the right quest trees and read the little details. Remembering about stripping for Crassius Curio still makes me feel a touch dirty and violated. Telvanni had some rapey stuff going on too.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I still partially blame Oblivion for my spider girl fetish.

[-] LoafyLemon@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Care to elaborate? I don't remember this.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Spider daedra. I don't remember them having models that shitty though, but I guess my standards for horny were pretty low.

Oh yeah, that was a thing. Other images available online seem to be more... interesting. I can see how it could influence your arachnid tastes. ๐Ÿ˜†

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There was some stuff that came out a couple weeks ago I think that said the extreme horniness was a bug and it's patched now. So they won't try to jump your bones so quickly and aggressively now, lol.

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

Didn't daggerfall have some nudity on some of the npc sprites or something?

[-] Rolder@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

Patiently waiting for the horny Starfield mods myself

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm just thinking of how I have mods for both Skyrim and Fallout 4 that turn every character into furries, and how Starfield doesn't have multiple races. I'm not sure if modding can add more races because every single mod I've ever seen from Morrowind to Fallout 4 only ever uses the same number of races the vanilla game offers. But it would be a little disappointing for there to only be 1 race (maybe 2 if you count robots) for mods like that.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

They know there's a good chunk of gamers that are into the tentacle stuff.

[-] autumn@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Mindflayers but instead of multiple tentacles it's just multiple dicks

[-] CrazyEddie041@kbin.social 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm ready for the impotent screeching of all the manlets who hate parts of speech.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

PrOnOuNs rUinEd my BG3 BeAr SeX!!

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 year ago

First they let you choose them. Now they let you change them! Aaagh the freedom is crushing! How can such control ever be given to gamers!?

Eesh.

Is Starfield even multiplayer?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The question about Starfield being multiplayer (it's not, BTW) just made me wonder if other players in the BG3 session see your character's pronouns (I haven't played online yet).

Wouldn't be that cool if the other players keep misgendering my gnome.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I honestly don't know why I said Starfield. I am almost certain I meant BG3. Or maybe I also was reading about malding over Starfield pronouns.

Ah well.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Haha I figured it was on purpose linking this news to the current Nexus drama over the removal of a mod that removes the pronoun option at character creation.

[-] Sagethefolxhero 31 points 1 year ago

this is a boon for genderfluid people everywhere

[-] OrnateLuna 8 points 1 year ago

Hell you can roleplay as a trans character who has their egg cracked and slowly transitions throughout the game

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 26 points 1 year ago

Aw hell yeah, more meltdown videos on the horizon

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I could have sworn it already had this functionality but I guess I'm wrong

[-] odium@programming.dev 16 points 1 year ago

I think that before you could only set it in the character creation screen at the start. Now you can change it anytime.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Starfield does this with it's plastic surgery shop so I imagine it's a "hey that's a good idea" thing for Larian.

[-] Shalakushka@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

They've been promising this since Patch 1, and changing your appearance is a really common feature in games with a create a character.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Most games do have limits on it after creation but I did remember just now that the Saints Row series did just this. I just have Starfield on my mind and forgot.

[-] LoafyLemon@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Now we can role-play a bad guy turning into a good guy and vice versa.

[-] sodiumbromley 5 points 1 year ago

The implementation is through The Magic Mirror, which is the same thing Divinity: Original Sin 2, their previous game used. So probably less inspired by Starfield.

[-] Ravaja@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I don't think anyone at Larian is taking notes from Bethesda of all companies

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

Woke game, they must be going broke any minute now.
