Baldur's Gate 3 Has Been Completed by 1.3 Million Players, Shadowheart is Most Popular Love Interest
Today Larian Studios released a new batch of statistics about its popular game Baldur's Gate 3, and there are certainly some impressive numbers in the bunch.
Oh bet, the normal-looking human woman is the most popular? Wild
That’s awfully speciesist of everyone.
Well the options are
Leathery Space Nazi (She do be easy tho)
Burn Your Dick Off (But she is cool tho)
Asshole Vamp (I can fix him. Oh, no, I can't, he's a fuckin vampire)
White Knight Warlock (Maybe next time we'll prance)
Wizard With Ex Issues (Best hat collection)
Hot Elf. (You CAN fix her)
DILF Druid (He's a tease)
Drow MILF (Bad Boys and Girls Only)
Don't blame me I banged Lae'zel.
I mean, she's a cleric by default. Insanely useful no matter what your team composition is. And flexible enough to compliment any setup you want. What are you going to do, NOT use Guidance in your run!?
She's also got a core storyline in a fundamental area of the map.
I re-specced her as a life domain cleric and spammed heals, wouldn't have stood a chance without it
Light and War are really strong. By either reducing enemy chance to hit, to not take damage in the first place, or ensuring your team gets those hits in, reducing enemy count and the amount of damage you can take.
I mean, there's a necklace for guidance. Clerics are pretty useful though.
Also, of the three ladies (you will typically find in your first playthrough, sorry Minthara) she is the last you can romance, so if your are a completionist you will end with her (I regret not making a save)
I just got to the sex scene with Shadowheart. Her white hair turned back to black for the cutscene lol
That's just how good you are.
This made me chuckle.
You hit the bottom.
People woefully underappreciate my big tiddy Gith girlfriend.
Honestly wasn't on the Githyanki train until Lae'Zel said something akin to "I'll claim what's mine one night soon". Then? Choo Choo.
Me: "Damn Lae'Zel, you don't have to be such a bitch constantly."
Lae'Zel: "You are competent, and worthy. Tonight, I will find you, and claim what is mine."
Me: "Yes, ma'am."
The fact that foreplay was a sword fight was much more of a turn on than anticipated.
Which gith has big tiddies? 🤔
Relatively?
Agreed. Loved the sunset watching scene with her. Her character grows so much by the end.
Pretty sure at least a million of those pets for Scratch are from me.
I'd probably still be at the emerald grove if they hadn't limited the number of Scratch's pets per interaction.
You have two hands for a reason. Give the Owlbear some love too.
Literally nothing could have prepared me for this being a thing.
Considering how long this game is. Those are seriously impressive numbers. Congratulations Larian on the success of probably my favorite game of all time.
If you haven't already, give divinity original sin 2 a try. BG3 was built on the back of a game just as complex and satisfying, with a ton of the same exact mechanics, that went under appreciated because Larian wasn't a big studio with a well known ip.
You can catch it on sale pretty regularly for like $5. I bought it on release back in the day and I still play through that game like once a year.
I've actually put several hundred hours into div OS 2. Its one of my fav games and the reason I was so excited about BG3. Larian is truly the GOAT.
I have DOS2 on my wishlist, I guess I just need to buy it.
Congratulations to Larian Studios and to the millions of players who enjoy their games.
And congratulations for an honest game-launch, without the shenanigans we often see from other companies.I never played DnD. I bought it because of the rave reviews and it’s been fun. Glad to support real AAA without the upsell shenanigans.
My save must be bugged. Still haven’t managed to bang anyone. Not even Halsin despite a bunch of them saying they are interested.
Halsin makes you wait til Act 3. Got to lift the shadow curse first.
I’m already there…
Idk about most popular, just the one that occurs most naturally. I tried to get with Karlach and it never happened. I never tried to get with Shadowheart, but it still happened.
Edit: I wonder if this means Shadowheart has the most sexual partners of anyone anywhere, across all games and platforms.
I've literally only talked to Shadowheart when the game forces me to (wanted to romance her on a different playthrough), and if I ask her about our relationship after the goblin stronghold she literally goes on and on about how I'm her closest confident and that she's a completely different woman now. All the other NPCs also offered to fuck during the celebration, despite me being confrontational with some of them.
This is after all the patches to romance stats, too.
Wish they didn't throw themselves at the player's feet so hard, to be honest.
There was a bug where Karlachs romance never materialized in Act 2 if you didn't do things in a specific order.
Is that fixed? I'm on my second playthrough and about to move to act 2.
Does it still fail if you don't wait a long time in act 2?
Does it? I did like the first main bit of the story and Lizzy was already to bounce on it.
Everyone else seems to take a lot longer to get cooking.
two monster-girls
reject them, choose the half-elf
People hate living out their wildest dreams, I guess.
Hey man, sleeping with elves and learning magic IS my wildest dreams, my next dreams are fucking the monsters or aliens
Well, the gith are aliens after all, aren't them? Also as infernal are kind of alien/extraplanar you could say Wil and Karlach are at least half-alien
I don't use Steam, GOG, or Larian launchers to play the game. I also play off-line. I wonder how many people have completed the game but weren't counted.
She's the only human woman, so it makes sense that she'd be the most popular.
Well, half-elf. But yeah, pointy ears are a bit more appealing than green skin and short noses or red skin and horns, I guess. People are boring.
First play through I went SH and felt very empathetic for Karlach's storyline. Second playthrough I went Karlach and found it kinda cringe.
Well that was incredibly obvious lol
My first playthrough I slept with the Emperor and then Wyll, and ended up with Wyll. I killed Karlach for Wyll.
Second one I was with Lae'zel but was a durge. I wanted to be with Karlach since I didn't have her on my first playthrough but then I killed Isobel. That dooms Karlach.
So this time I'm aiming for Karlach. She's so fun!
this is by far the best game i have played in many years!
I don't understand the appeal. Gamers rage about how RNG ruins games, and the biggest game of the year is totally based in RNG.
Then there's the hornyness. Even the trailers made this game seem like it's just about who you can bang.
Have you considered that the people raging about a thing and the people enjoying the same thing might be different people?
No. Every member of a group is part of one giant hivemind. Individuality is a myth.
Bad rng ruins games. When it's done correctly, it's fun. You have to seperate what's fun from what's not. It's fun to hit a 20 and instantly delete something form existence. It is not fun to "do everything right" and still be punished for it.
Most of the time I've raged about RNG is from WoW, not other games. In WoW, I'm not raging about misses or crits. I'm mad because I've done the fight as well as I can and succeeded, only to have the same damn leather boots drop every damn time that neither I nor anyone else needs. Or having to kill bugs to get a specific quest item that could drop on your first try or your thousandth.
RNG in this game can also be infuriating, but in a different way. It's not game breaking, just fight delaying. Or I might not be able to deceive the guard to let me in, so I just have to fight my way in.
