Baldur's Gate 3 patch 3 releases today and lets you change your appearance and pronouns

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.

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

dies waiting

/s about “woke” for safety

ZombiFrancis,

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?

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,

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,

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.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

It’s about time. Should have been on release.

mateomaui,

Aw hell yeah, more meltdown videos on the horizon

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

RGB3x3,

PrOnOuNs rUinEd my BG3 BeAr SeX!!

Iwasondigg,

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!

Kbin_space_program,

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

LoafyLemon,

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.

iheartneopets,

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

Iwasondigg,

Gay demon sex enthusiast has entered the chat.

iheartneopets,

It’s true

Iwasondigg,

I’m not judging.

I still partially blame Oblivion for my spider girl fetish.

LoafyLemon,

Care to elaborate? I don't remember this.

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

LoafyLemon,

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. 😆

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.

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.

tissek,

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

Wonder how many furries that short story awoke…

CarbonIceDragon,
@CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

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

CarbonIceDragon,
@CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

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

Rolder,

Patiently waiting for the horny Starfield mods myself

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

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.

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

autumn,

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

yokonzo,

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

odium,

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

GreenMario,

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,
@Shalakushka@kbin.social avatar

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

LoafyLemon,

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

GreenMario,

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.

Ravaja,

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

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.

Sagethefolxhero,

this is a boon for genderfluid people everywhere

OrnateLuna,

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