A Baldur’s Gate 3 mishap made it rain men, hallelujah

destructoid.com:

As far as I’m concerned, Baldur’s Gate 3 is my game of the year. It’s the experience finally rekindling my love for games as lengthier affairs without feeling like a drag. I can’t get enough of the cast, the environments are enchanting, and the dialogue is spot-on. I’ve played it a little every day since launch with no signs of slowing down.

And looking at the rest of 2023, I don’t see anything dethroning the RPG, not even a messy glitch here or there, but oh god, did I ever break BG3 last night. Something’s definitely gone horribly wrong with my install, or right, as a glass-half-full kind of gal.

You see, I really enjoy modding — check the Scion tattoo — but if a game can be broken, I’m breaking it. And out of my friend group, I seem to have the most bizarre tech problems, leading us down complex rabbit holes for fixes or clumsy workarounds. A few of us enjoy playing dolls with fan-made tweaks, which leads to the occasional headless Tav surprise or a floating set of eyes, but we’ve seen it all.

Except I thought we’d seen it all. Last night, I broke Baldur’s Gate in a way I’d never broken it before. After work, I loaded up the game and played normally for an hour or so. Then I took a break, installed some new mods, tried to start a new game, and bam — genital jumpscare.

Warning: This is NSFW for nudity. It’s all things you can see in the character creator, though. This tweet shows everything, but here’s the artistic censored version.

Yes, that’s the default Dark Urge model. And yes, that’s eight naked dudes.

I couldn’t tell y’all what on earth broke BG3 to do this, but instead of pulling up the character creator… this is the scene I was greeted with. I feel like I’ve walked in on something I wasn’t supposed to see, but
