Character Customization In Baldur

Baldur's Gate 3 is going to feature deeply involved character customization, inclusive of an option that will allow you to change genitals.

blackblades707d ago

And, you won't be able to see those genitals so what.

Christopher707d ago

Probably will be about romance options.

SullysCigar707d ago

It's some shaky ground to use genitalia to dictate romance options in 2023, but if you're right, it's probably best to stock up on popcorn now!

Christopher707d ago (Edited 707d ago )

I mean, they've used genitalia in the past to do just that in BioWare games and the like. They just didn't offer the chance to change genitalia. You had characters that could be romanced by both sexes and some by just one. And this shouldn't be controversial. Giving more options doesn't mean they are forced on you. If you're upset, then you're looking for reasons to be upset and nothing else.

I'm assuming that includes the bear too.

SullysCigar706d ago

I'm not upset, nor did I imply I was. It was just an observation based on your speculation, so quit making assumptions about me in an effort to claim the moral high ground.

Christopher706d ago (Edited 706d ago )

@Sully the 'if you're upset' is, first of all, a specifier that obviously doesn't apply to you so you obviously aren't the target of the statement and second It's what is considered a 'royal you' due to the 'if' specification and means it is aimed at the general audience reading the comment who aligns with the specification mentioned, not you specifically or even everyone.

Same way commercials say "Talk to your doctor if you experience symptoms." They're not saying everyone hearing that needs to do it, it's only intended for those that do.

But the bears... they'll have junk right? Nooooo, not for THAT! but I'd like to kick one square in the nuts before fist brawling it.

Ah yes, a much needed feature, however I'm not ready to preorder until they confirm there's a butthole shade slider.

Comeon bro. You're going to severely limit your romance options with that chocolate covered starfish. Or find yourself a nice Orc or Troll. They're into that.

closed_account707d ago

Can I have an inverted penis? How about Elephantitis? Come on people, inclusivity!

CrimsonWing69707d ago (Edited 707d ago )

I love how instead of media outlets just letting genitalia customization be like any other body part to customize we have to get articles really focused on it. It feels like something middle schoolers would do and be all “tee hee hee,” about.

I feel like this whole focus on a game having nudity, sex, or genitalia customization instead of “yea it’s in here” and shrug it off is why the medium will struggle to incorporate mature themes or content.

Then again, I’m seeing the media focus on nudity in shows or movies like Oppenheimer, so maybe it is what it is and there’s no way to ever be nonchalant about it in media? 🤷‍♂️

Baldur is blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical and magical.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Is The Kind Of Game That Makes Me Wish I Could Play One Thing At A Time

I respect people who can dig deep on one game, and only one game, but I can't do it.

I used to play multiple games at a time but because of the time constraints I have I don’t have a choice but to play one game at a time or I’ll end up with some unfinished games. I like to get platinums for the games I enjoy the most so it can take me a long time to get to the next game.

It definitely takes some will power as I always have a stack of games I want to play at all times. But most of the games I play are really good and I am fully immersed when I’m playing a single game at a time.

raWfodog22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Same here. I’ll focus on a game that I really enjoy and get the most out of it before moving onto the next title. That is why I have a massive backlog of games now.

Armaggedon23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Same for me. I play so many games, currently playing oblivion, expedition, blades of fire, bg3 with friends , avowed, and Nioh 2. After learning more about myself and gaining mastery, I have developed an ability to get fulfillment from a game without needing to “complete” it. Unless of course, a game hooks me for the story, in which case I have to complete it to see what happens. I have discovered that in terms of gameplay, one can get most if not all of the expected experience in about 25% of progress through play.

Ninver22d ago

Sounds like renting is the best way to go in your case. No point in buying games you won't complete.

Armaggedon22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

It depends on what one deems as “complete.” For some, it is completing the story, and for others it is completing all tasks and objectives. Usually when this happens, people will feel “that was fun, whats next.” There is always a whats next. Cant think of anyone that has consumed media and thought “I am completely satisfied and will not need to play or watch another. I have simply mastered this “hunger” if you will. I am able to get so far in a game and then move to another without needing to reach a certain requirement. A benefit of this is that I do not get bored, as that game I didn’t beat still has mystries to unravel and new things I haven’t done.
