Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
