If you read the title of the article you’ve read the article. It doesn’t really elaborate on it anymore than that sentence.
Gamers are loving Baldur’s Gate 3 and wowee wow they’re really loving it. It’s a good game.
However some gamers have been SLAMMING the game on Twitter (X). It turns out, Lae’zel may have been too horny due to a bug!

I bet 5 euros they changed some value to make it faster to test romance scenes during QA and then forgot about it.
Those are usually locked away behind command lines and they don’t test with random chance or such. You trigger the things directly. Realistically what probably happened is some engineer wrote the system slightly wrong and no one caught it. Possibly maybe a designer requested the romance to be more prominent and the solution on engineering side was to tweak a value. It’s be surprised if anyone changes hard coded values for QA. It’s not the 90s anymore where qa is the engineering team.
Or perhaps the QA team is especially horndog, like some statistical anomaly.
Probably not, but funny to think about.
QA aren’t build engineers. They don’t get to pick what makes it into a build. If anything it’d be sometime in design or engineering. Not QA.
Reminds me of the whole Ghandi loves nuclear arms is covered thing.
Which by the way only started with Civ5, the rest was a hoax.
Wow! I had no idea, thanks for looping me in 😅
Great to know this was a bug. It felt a tad immersion breaking for every origin character to be so interested all of a sudden.
Any interest would be immersion breaking for me…
It was immersion breaking, but I’m not complaining about not having to work hard for dommy mommy Lae’zel.
She says we’ve gotta hold on to what we’ve got
It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love
We’ll give it a shot
How game b breaking are we talking about? Like slider set to 100 instead of 99, or are we talking about memory loop around, nuclear Gandi level of horny?
Lae’zel simultaneously hated me and wanted the D. It wasn’t game breaking, but I know a couple of ace people that were a bit disturbed by the constant advances.
I accidentally ended up in a romance scene with a character I had clearly told I was not interested in them. I thought the scenes were just their side quests for a while.
But other than accidentally having dinner kinky sex in the game it wasn’t that big of a part.
Nah feature. I was a god among men
Butterfly Guy: Is this teenagers?
“bug”
A pubic louse in this case
What kind of bug? A Spanish fly?
Bummer
Is this why there’s that speedrun to have sex with that one woman?
Now this is a headline
I’m sure we will see references to this bug in the future, in parodies and things like that. I was also surprised to see most of my companions making advances in the first act even though I wasn’t that close to them.
Off topic: I didn’t realise how intense Eurogamer has gotten with ads. Could barely read the article on my phone. 😡
