You're all acting as if you are forced to go through an unskippable sex cutscene every time you load your save. You're given an option to pursue another character romantically, and you're free to decline it entirely or to skip the part that involves sex. What else do you want, to make sure that other players don't have the option? Why?
Because you find it distasteful? There are plenty of people who find gore and violence distasteful, and with much better reasons, too; should the developers remove all violence-related visuals and perhaps all mentions of slavery and abuse?
Is it because you, personally, aren't interested in romance-related content and would (selfishly) prefer it to be cut so that the developers can focus on something that better caters to you? Well, most players prefer to play as a Good-aligned human PC, it's not an opinion but a fact - should Larian scrap the option to play as any other type of character so that they can dedicate more resources to enriching the Good human protagonist experience?

Imagine starting a thread asking for something to be cut from the game because you don't personally enjoy it (or, well, because you think that your underage son can handle every other mature theme in an M-rated game other than naked breasts).


This, this a thousand times this. If I could like or upvote or star or give "gold" or whatever I would. This comment wins the interwebz today.

Video games with a Mature rating and up are NOT FOR KIDS!!!

Also, I am legitimately confused about which people were playing D&D etc and NOT getting into one situation minimum per session that involved extremely compromising situations with gazebos, orcs, demons and random misused spellcraft. I mean... I CAN'T be the ONLY person out there who played RPG table top games drunk off my ass in my miss-spent youth! It's just how it works. Just ask Critical Role!

Also, sex should NEVER be something shameful. Just sayin.

*** apologies for the capitals, the bold code wouldn't work and I'm feeling emphatic. hahaha


If Baldur's Gate 3 were rated T for Teen, I would expect romance scenes to fade to black, but this is rated M for Mature. This game is NOT for kids. I don't know how old the OP's kid is, but I am far more angry at them for complaining about the game's content when the game was clearly labeled.

And this is before I get into my personal ideologies about what content should be classified as "mature". As brought up multiple times, this game doesn't exactly have explicit sex scenes; i.e. no genitalia or visual penetration. On the other hand, this game has content that I believe is far more egregious than showing shirtless characters; for example, allowing you to murder children.
