Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback More kink options in romance

Obviously, Larian does not have a taboo on this topic - we saw an interesting scene with Abdirak in the goblin camp, I think this is not so much a parody as a check on the players' feedback in early access. So, my feedback: I liked it. This fits very well with the dark fantasy setting, and hasn't been seen in other games.

BDSM is pretty common these days. We see that It is obvious that most of the characters have a clear tendency to either dominate (Laezel, Minthara), sadism (Astarion) or masochism/submissive (Shadow Heart, maybe Will who has a difficult relationship with Mizora)
We need more little kink options in romances, of course we don't need them to be obligatory, but their presence suggests itself. This is not at all difficult to account for and implement when writing scripts, but it would be a revolution in freedom of decision making.

[BDSM video games] already exists - edited out an actual site as you shouldnt go there, dont go to the one quoted by me also, I didnt visit it it was a joke.

1. This is a scam site
2. We're talking about the RPG genre
3. This conversation would not have happened if there were no hints of BDSM in the early access, and if many characters did not have such strong inclinations to dominate

I'm not asking Larian to do a bdsm simulator. I ask for variable kink options in romances.
Their absence would be strange considering the personalities of most of the characters.

My jest was more in the vein of something that happens during core development paths where you put in a thing where people can like comments and then someone goes "oh, hey can you make it so I can add animated emoticaons or store my own library". and youre like CTFO people its a Sex Offender Registry, I probably shouldnt have even done that much, focus people, focus! What are we making here.

I imagine the mod community will put much more effort into that space than Larian. There is a reputation for a gritty game that doesnt hold back on sex or blood and microtransactions for your favored color of gag ball and fox tail combos to put the AS in fantASy reputation.

Also, Im already surprised WotC said yes to most of this stuff lol, im sure theres a line somewhere. Though if they don't based on how theyve tried to bow to every criticism, you might try tweeting #WotcKinkShames at them.

Can't wait to make a character named Tarantino, halfling of course so he can be closer to them toes.

Jesus Christ.

Just wait for the mods OP

I dunno what the link between Shadowheart and masochism/submissive is.

But like I've stated before I want seduction to be a part of persuasion and there's a lot you could do with that in the game.
Including the patrons like Mizora, why not let the players take a more submissive stance towards them for example or vise versa?

But yeah, I'd like to see more femme fatale character archetypes for protagonists in RPG's in general ( and the male equivelant too ).
Lemme use my Charisma in that way, not everyone wants to play a brute or just convince people with '' big brain logic '' alone.
There could even be some fun options where you team up with Astarion to do it lol.
I kinda like that archetype too where characters almost take sexual pleasure in violence or even enter a sort of religious trance that isn't just '' me mad, me smash '' ( Witch Elves in Warhammer for example ).
Characters who enjoy what they're doing almost like their violence is a form of art.

Protagonists in RPG's just tend to lack identity a lot of the time, I do understand it to some extent because devs need to try and appeal to a wide variety of different playstyles but I still think that it's possible to give protagonists stronger and more defined personalities too.

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I'm not asking for something hardcore, and I don't want the game to turn into cheap porn. I just want a little more optional kink options in the romances that fit well with the narrative and character of the characters, and also more moments like Abdirak or when Laesel made the tiefling bow to her.
This is already in the game, anyway, I gave my feedback. Astarion, by the way, looked at the stage with Abdirak with great pleasure.
If this is not in the game, I will not download mods with such content, it will not be canon.

As for the rest of the companion, I'm not very interested, but in the romantic scene with Minthara I really miss the answer "I want to serve and worship you", and not just the idiotic "I want you" or "I changed my mind". I do not believe that other players had no idea of such an answer. Why i can't?

Lmfao he wants the Witcher 3 sex modded+ sex mods from skyrim in a Larian studios game where characters barely use a swear word.....I'm just happy Larian are dipping their feet in mature content, divinity sometimes felt like it's for kids.....let's be happy with what we have and if you want a porn game, get your modkit ready, the Devs have too much on their plate

The existence of sex in a game doesn't make it a porn game, it's a porn game if the entire point and focus of the game is on graphic sex.

Yes please more sex options with Sazza please.

'Reads Title'
Oh no.

Man, sometimes I feel like BGIII is a sex game first and a roleplaying game second judging by the comments on this forum.

Well, if Menzoberrazan is on the menu, don't fret. You'll get some good bloody kink.

Do you want Astarion to unleash an army of animals? Jesus... it's already bad enough they changed one of his lines into cringe lvl over 9000. Anyway, OP, are you playing a tiefling perhaps? You seem to be... very horny.

Yes, why isn't this a kink? I've seen many forum posts asking for sex with Sazza despite the obvious kink and trash of this option. If people want it, why not?



I don't really care about the rest of the characters, I just want to worship Minthara. But it seems to me that such kinks can be harmoniously inscribed in other heroes too.
And was surprised by the stupid choice "I want you" and "I changed my mind" where there was no line that I really wanted to say.
You don't need to be some kind of special pervert and maniac to want to answer this way, this answer is quite obvious and it is not there.

Why the hell can't my character say he's totally in awe of the idea of ​​obeying her? This is not just my fantasy. This is in the game, but there is no replica.



We're just discussing what's in the game. We discuss races, classes, quests, lore, violence, and sex - giving feedback and advice on how to do it better. For some reason, only the last point is a reason to condemn those who discuss it. This is ALREADY in the game, oh well, and the developers plan to work on it further. If you don't want to discuss this, you can just skip the topic. I already specifically wrote that I do not want to see a porn game, I just want additional kink options and opportunities where they are appropriate.

Not here to argue, just to notice.

Really don't think this is necessary. Like I get it you really like the character, but I really don't think we need power play to be an aspect of the relationships. Especially not Minthara who, whether you can or can't accept it, isn't an NPC that is going to keep up with us after we move on to Moonrise Towers.

Frankly I'd be happy to go back to the days of fading to black if it meant people wouldn't suggest this kind of stuff. I think as far as it should go is little things like making Astarion say "Please" before his one romance scene. I think it imparts a feeling of realness to things and is a kind of funny thing to do to him. Though if the devs give into one thing it will just be one after another. Fanfiction is the avenue for this kind of stuff, not a AAA CRPG.

I just need one additional line in the dialogue, just like you too with Astarion. Someone needs Sazza. This will not make the game a trash heap, but will make it better - that's my opinion.
The game should provide an opportunity to respond as I would if I were my character. If there is already a moment when Minthara says that my character must obey, gives orders, why can't I express my admiration for this? And let her know that I am delighted with her ideas.
