Baldur's Gate 3's companions were overly horny due to a bug

If you found the companions in Baldur's Gate 3 to be a little too horny, well, it turns out that was due to a bug. Rela…

"So... it was a bug," said Vincke. "The approval thresholds were too low when we shipped. That's why they were so horny in the beginning. It wasn't supposed to be that way. We've fixed it since, at least for some of them. We're still fixing a few of them."

He added the horniness "wasn't intended... especially Gale. [He] wasn't supposed to be like, instantly there".

Vincke continued: "There were a lot of people that enjoyed it. But it was too fast. It was supposed to simulate how real relationships are."

Hope you had fun with Shadowheart before the patch.

Ah, a patch that makes your partner less horny. In real life, we call this patch "marriage".

Dont forget the update to this patch that its called parenthood.

 

[MLSabre]

A bug making companions horny? Damn! Them bugs giving off pheromones. Quite the kick!

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Can you kill all companions in this game?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[delfrickintree]

They should call it VIDEO AIDS. Just a bug, yea right!!

 

[adamsapple]

Perhaps this is one bug where they should have just "embraced the chaos".

 

[Buggy Loop]

I somehow ended to act 3 with Shadowheart thinking she’s my GF and steps in for jealousy, can kiss her and everything but doesn’t want to fuck

So I fucked Mizora anyway.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

I think there are bugs in me cos I’m always horny.

 

[Dacvak]

Hey so my friend wanted to know if you can revert back to an earlier version and still play online. Yeah. Asking for… my friend.

 

[Dacvak]

Okay but seriously, I thought super-horny Gale was just part of his personality, and it made denying his advances really fun in-game. Kind of a shame they’re retconning my head canon. I’ll miss you, thirsty Gale.

The "having kids" patch completely eliminates it.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

I wish life had more bugs like this

 

[Tieno]

when a bug is a feature.

 

[Dacvak]

I wish life had more bugs like this

For a while, a few players exploited the “cryptocurrency” bug, which basically unlocked every dialog option available through brute force of cash. But then the devs patched it, so it’s not really viable anymore.

My ex wife's opinion:

 

[DenchDeckard]

Ffs so I've missed on the comical hornyness that made the game the meme generator it was....

That sucks...

 

[Rentahamster]

My horniness is a feature, not a bug.

 

[TVexperto]

they did it just to get good reviews just like activision with the transaction store !! /s

 

[Lokaum D+]

There ir aways a bug

 

[Doczu]

There ir aways a bug

Yeah i'm going offline hoping she didn't get the update yet.

That’s the daddest joke ever. But I laughed, I won’t lie.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Make them more horny.

 

[Heisenberg007]

"BUG"

 

[Hugare]

Now that they got their 10/10 scores they are patching it out /jk

This is hilarious.

Happened to me: was weird af when Gale suddenly tried to get intimate with me.

I was like "Dude, I just gave you some items for you to eat. What a low bar"

 

[gaming_again]

I'm glad to read this. People I don't consider in any way whiny at all were saying that the sexual pestering was a bit much.

Really looking forward to tomorrow!

 

[Gaelyon]

Can you kill all companions in this game?

Actually yes, you can. And you can recruit neutral companions (with no backstory/romance) to still have a full team.

 

[cartman414]

Anyone remember that show ReBoot? This totally sounds like a Robot Chicken parody.

Persuasion: need a 19 on a 20d with a -1 modifier for being a half orc

Funniest thread ever thanks...

[chlorate]

Is there any game that has a “manlet” trait that affects dialogue choices? It’s basically like playing as Oddjob in Goldeneye except Natalya just wants to be friends during the ending credits.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Or...
Being under 6 feet tall

Considering how short, fat, rich guys get trophy wives I would say it’s not the height that matters most…

 

[Guerilla Munch]

How is the sex in this game? Any good? Can you really fuck bears? Anyone got gifs? Just curious is all.

 

[Kataploom]

So it was not a bug actually, but a (accidental) feature

 

[darrylgorn]

Not sure if they fixed anything when

Spoiler

you listen to a mind flayer talk about his former life and that's apparently enough for him to take off his shirt and assume you want to fuck him.
