No thanks, I leave the mental gymnastics to the people offended by a Druid having sex with magical fantasy abilities. I'll be enjoying the game and exploring all of its vast content for hundreds of hours instead
Technically it's not bestiality - animals cannot consent - this is more like being a furry since both are consenting adults.
Halsin is a Druid that can shapeshift and is fully sentient in his animal forms. So it ain't bestiality, otherwise you could say having sex with a centaur/werewolf/harpy etc... is also considered bestiality. If anything the scene was hilarious and a good presentation of how much freedom the player has in the game in terms of story.
I invite you both for a quick mental exercise: picture the 'bear' scene in your head, but image Halsin physically turns into a 6-year old child instead.
As long as he is a consenting adult, he can turn into whatever he feels like.
I cannot believe I'm expressing the opinion that explicit bestiality or paedophilia is not fine in a videogame and there's people pushing back because it's 'just a joke'. Consenting adult? Give me a break. People enjoying consensual sex between adults is exactly NOT who this caters to, this should be patently obvious. I am not offended, I am
appalled, it made my stomach turn and I'm very sad this is going to be something people associate with the name Baldur's Gate. Larian absolutely doesn't deserve you bending over backwards for them on this.
