Baldur’s Gate 3 might be horny, but it turns out that the Larian RPG game was accidentally too horny. If you found your quest for Baldur’s Gate 3 romance a little too easy, it turns out that this was actually a now fixed and accidental bug, not a feature of Baldur’s Gate 3 itself.

Approval Thresholds Were Off at Launch
This revelation comes from Larian founder and Baldur’s Gate 3 director Swen Vincke, who explained that the approval thresholds for romancing each of the Baldur’s Gate 3 companions were incorrect when the game was initially shipped. The bug caused the characters to be too eager for romance, making it easier for players to initiate romantic encounters.
“So… it was a bug,” Vincke tells TheGamer. “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.”
An Accidental Feature
If you found each of the companions way too eager to get into your pants then – which I definitely did, one conversation outside the Grove with Gale and he decided to shoot his shot – it was accidental. The developers did not intend for the romances to progress so quickly. Vincke specifically mentions Gale, one of the companions, stating that he “wasn’t supposed to be like, instantly there. There were a lot of people that enjoyed it. But it was too fast. It was supposed to simulate how real relationships are.”
Work Harder for Your Romances
Although some players enjoyed the quick progression of romances, the bug has now been fixed, requiring players to put in more effort to win over their desired companions. This change is especially noticeable with Gale, who was initially too forward with his romantic advances.
It’s good to hear about the bug fix from Vincke, as many players were surprised by Gale’s overly eager behavior. Now, players can expect a more realistic and gradual development of relationships in Baldur’s Gate 3.
