I love how this game handles sex and romance, it’s unashamed with a sex-positive mindset, something that just seems natural to me but I guess I’m just weird.
“I’m no prude” and then rant at how too horny BG3 supposedly is… Yes you are very prude fellow.
Nah. I’m a prude: I prolly won’t play BG3 now. I’m big on sci-fi and I’ve never liked overtly horny interactions. The Culture novels handle it well and it didn’t annoy me. Vernor Vinge had problems deciding if he was writing scifi or rape fantasies.
I’m here for motherfucking space lasers.
You can turn off nudity in BG3, but it won’t push your buttons if you exclusively get off on space lasers.
Pew pew baby.
They posted a counterpoint, too

I do think it should be a bit harder to romance in this game. Because you don’t need to even try and to me that’s kind of a problem. Like I got people just sitting at camp who haven’t been in any quest with me or you just met and they’re already down for the dirty. Ready for the horizontal cha-cha. A little of the devil’s dance, a little campsite rodeo… I think a little effort isn’t asking too much. But they all acting like the Absolute is in my pants and they’re ready to get blessed!
I think the problem here is thinking that sex == romance.
There is also no way to just be friends. The friendly option are also the fuck options so if approval gets too high you need to actively be an asshole to them.
That’s the actual problem I think. Imo it’s fine for them to try to flirt with you, but almost all the non flirt options in those situations are kind of mean. There are also some options were I’m just not sure if I am being nice or starting down the relationship path.
Is this hug going to comfort them or is it already sexual? I don’t know. Which is all the more hard for me because I’m playing a kind old dwarfen paladin who just wants everyone to get along and be happy.
I like it. It’s like college
We had very different college experiences.
My first playthrough I sent lae’zel straight to camp, never spoke to her again. At some random point before even act 1 ended, her romance dialogue came up.
My theory is the tadpoles ramp up sex drive to absurd levels, unless you’re shadowheart apparently. Illithid orgies must be incredible.
Toxoplasmosis
Aaah, so it’s a homage to Cronenberg’s 1975 movie Shivers
Hobbes had developed a parasite that was “a combination of aphrodisiac and venereal disease that will, hopefully, turn the world into one beautiful mindless orgy.”
Unless you’re shadowheart? I told her I didn’t hate her god and the next day she was hitting me with the “I’ve never had a confidant quite like you… You’re very special to me…”
I have a bit conflicting thoughts about this. On one hand yes, the “let’s fuck” option comes a bit too easily: simply talk to them a few times, ask about their day, don’t be an ass and you’ll get laid on day 3.
But on the other hand, the game is also filled with situations where you make a single wrong comment and the conversation instantly turns to a fight, which ends up in a bloodbath.
I guess these balance each other out. The game is just generally fast with getting to a (quite extreme) conclusion in both ways, and I don’t really have a problem with it.
Lol, I mean you’re not wrong.
I just feel like… idk, maybe at night we use the weave… put on some music and see where the night goes.
I had to choose penis type for my character, it would be a waste not to use it
Is there hydra?
crazy how we went from Mass Effect to No Sex Please, We’re Gamers.
We’ll hang, okay?
I was thinking that it was the horniest game I’ve ever played, but I didn’t see it as a problem. Also, a bit of topic, but the steam reviews from mad players who “accidentally” did the nasty with the unintended persons is hilarious. They should have selected the nohomo dialog option.

I’ve been playing the game with my characters completely naked so far. Hide the armor and take off their underwear and they’ll just run around in their birthday suits in battle, in the open world, and in cutscenes.
I think it’s really fun especially when you have shitty lvl 1/2 armor that looks stupid anyway. Maybe I’ll unhide their armor once I get some nicer looking gear. For now it’s tits and dicks everywhere.
This is so cringe.
Well, I guess this helps me decide if I want to play the game. I really don’t enjoy games with “romance” plots for reasons I can’t explain. IRL I’m a romantic fool but I don’t like it in my games. Can anyone elaborate on the OP? Is it just nudity (I don’t care about nudity) or is it really focused on romantic side plots?

All characters have that. Hit tab to open team view, and on the upper right of each characters window there’s a little checkbox to toggle it on and off. Camp armor and regular armor.
