Larian Studios Gets TikTok Ban For Bear-Form Druid Sex Scene in Baldur's Gate 3 | Push Square

You might be surprised to learn that Baldur's Gate 3 is the kind of game in which you can have sexual relations with a druid shape-shifted into animal form, specifically, into that of a bear (a Grizzly, to our discerning eye).

You shouldn't be, though, considering Commander Shepard's own amorous adventures; a decade earlier, BioWare was exploring the kinds of inter-party hanky panky in Baldur's Gate that would go on to cause such a stir once fully realised in the later Mass Effect series.

Fast forward to 2023, and we are just over a month from the release of Baldur's Gate 3, a sequel as eagerly anticipated in some parts of the internet as Half-Life 3.

But it’s funny.»

Baldur's Gate 3 comes to PS5 on 6th September, meaning we won't have much longer to wait to discover its many, many mysteries. Considering some of us have been waiting for this one since Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn was released in 2000, we will be counting down the days.
