It’s fairly accurate isn’t it? Every single companion (bar Minsc and Jaheira - though the Jaheira romance was cut content) lusts for you with the uncomplicated ferocity of a hormonal teenager, some after having exchanged barely a sentence or two with you (looking at you, Halsin). There is a bear fucking scene, Mizora wants you for some reason and hell, you can even bang a god damn mind flayer.
The characters keep throwing themselves at you though.
It really sucks when I’m playing a game with my girlfriend and there is a half-naked demon lady trying to bang me despite me being an asshole to them in every interaction.
Baldurs Gate 3 is one of my favorites games ever, but I would enjoy it a lot more without the awkward horny stuff it throws in my face.
I can see it being awkward if it was like… my parent or someone i don’t know well. My partner? No, we joke around, decide what to respond together, discuss what we like and don’t like about it, you know, couple shit.
Yeah there’s some romance, but there’s barely any sex. You can only romance one character at a time and there’s like one short cutscene per character, with some being a fade to black, in a 100 hour long game.
When was the last time you saw a game that was more than that outside of porn games and maybe dating sims? The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Cyberpunk 2077.
I always think of this kind of stuff when these kinds of polls come up because they’re always by big corporate companies who put the most shallow of these themes in. People want this stuff like they want strong female leads: they want stuff that actually puts the effort in to make it good, not half-baked content just to maximize market reach or that one gay side character with one line of dialogue mentioning his husband who never actually appears in the movie.
There’s not a bunch of full frontal nudity or raunchy sex scenes, that’s true.
But the game is shamelessly horny. All characters were designed to be maximally fuckable and they’re all desperately tryna fuck. The sexual tension is palpable and several of the MC outfits wouldn’t be out of place at a sex party.
Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t call the game softcore porn by any stretch, it’s just… canonically horny. Which is perfectly fine.

Heavy on sex? Just which mods did the author install?

The bear-fucking scene will always be my answer to things like this.
You can’t look at BG3 and go “yup, wholesome family fun for all ages”
Yeah, but you don’t HAVE to fuck the bear.
Joking aside, if romance and sex aren’t your thing, you as the player have control in most games to just not do those things.
The characters keep throwing themselves at you though.

What does your girlfriend have to do with anything?
You don’t see how that makes it even more awkward? This is a game with co-op that will throw the horniest scene at you out of nowhere.

Alright, imagine you want to play the game with your dad then.
Bear’s Gayte 3
You can romance and have sex with pretty much anything with a heartbeat in BG3.
Does it need a heart beat?
Asterion?
