Does the Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity not qualify? It might not be golden pantaloons but Its still one of the more memorable magical items for me anyway.
Yeah, changing sex was already possible back in BG1, so it wouldn't even break anything with any lore. Just add the Girdle.
Will a gay character or a lesbian character become heterosexual if they wear this sex change belt?
I don't know exactly what the belt would or wouldn't affect when it comes to sexuality, but I think a CHARNAME Wild Mage in BG2 EE will be treated as their new sex for romance triggers with companions. I don't remember seeing the belt in BG2, so Wild Surge is the only non-cheat to change sex IIRC.
That being said, I don't know if companions change their triggers if you change their sex. But I'd guess not, since the game usually checks against CHARNAME.
Edit: To clarify, I think they would remain attracted to the same people, regardless of their current sex.
+1, considering companions are player-sexual their sexual orientation as far as programming goes wouldn't change one bit.
The short answer would be: "it is up to the player."To elaborate: discussing orientation from a RP perspective, whenever companions would classify as gay, straight or bisexual would be primarily up to each player's fantasy/choice. I mean - since BG3 companions do not have any limited sexual orientation of their own being player-sexual and in some cases have potential other love interests and/or love history, then by default their sexual orientation is not going to be the same for every playthrough regardless of the player changing their gender or not.
To illustrate, in one player's playthrough Wyll and Gale would most likely be heterosexual because Tav is female, and so are Gale and Wyll's historical/potential other interests - however the player could still very much imagine them being bi- or pansexual even though all of their current interests within the game would be female - at the same time, for another character playthrough Wyll and Gale would most definitely be bi-/pansexual because Tav is male, but Gale and Wyll's historical/potential other interests are female.
