Baldur's Gate 3 is a slap so far, amassing way more players than Larian Studios was expecting. But as it climbs through the Steam charts, there was no way that it was going to please everyone.

On Steam, dudebros are crying that other male characters are hitting on them. Yes, they realize you can just shoot them down, but that's not good enough, apparently. The fact that male characters would even assume they swing that way is enough to cause offence. I mean, a guy hitting on your when you're not interested? Must be awful, we can only imagine.

There’s even homosexual sex scenes, like every pleasant pen-and-paper D&D game.
Baldur’s Gate 3 takes place a century after the second game. The basic plot is that you’ve been kidnapped by mind flayers, who’ve invaded Faerûn and infected your brain with parasites called illithid tadpoles that will turn you into a mind flayer if you don’t do something to stop them.

Baldur’s Gate III: the queerest video game of all time?
There’s a point in Baldur’s Gate III where, should you resolve to, you can have sex with a bear. It was a covert revealed by Belgian developer Larian Studios during a pre-release live stream when they showcased the game’s romance options, including a lgbtq+ encounter with one involving the ethics of Halsin, a Druid who can morph into a bear.
The clip naturally spread around on social media, and resulted in Larian’s stream getting pulled from TikTok. But it also pointed towards the depths of the role-playing in the game. Baldur’s Gate III had clearly nailed a tabletop role-playing session’s anarchic, chaotic, and sometimes x-rated nature. This was the Dungeons & Dragons video game that people possess always wanted.
Baldur’s Gate III is, of course, the third entry in the Baldur’s Gate series. The earlier two games, released in 1998 and 2000 respectively and developed by RPG behemoth Bioware, were era-defining classics, often cited for reinvigorating the RPG genre and setting the typical for impactful gameplay where your in-game choices affected the course of the story.
