One of the most charming details about Baldur’s Gate 3 is that each companion’s specific clothing gets its own unique description. And yes, that extends to their undergarments.
For the most part, these underwear descriptions are very funny and character-accurate. Astarion’s fancy pants hold the description, “Embroidered into the cloth: ‘If you’re reading this, you managed to bed or behead me.
