Baldur’s Gate 3 became one of the most influential games of the last few years due to how complex it was. Players were able to do whatever they want, including having a sex with a bear, which a dev praised recently.
Although, praised may be an understatement. While speaking at Develop: Brighton 2024, Baudelaire Welch, the senior narrative designer for Baldur’s Gate 3, called the sex scene “a watershed moment in game history.” The writer went into details of making this scene and the entire romance with Halsin, the Druid in Baldur’s Gate 3 who can turn into a bear and woo your character if you let him. Welch pointed out how important romance is in video games because romances outlive their games for years to come due to the fan fiction they eventually produce. That’s why the bear sex scene is so critical from their standpoint.
