Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 3, which was so massive Larian held it back a day to test it properly, will release today, and it'll add an RPG feature many of us have been requesting since we stepped clear of the Nautiloid - the ability to change a character's appearance. Alas, it comes too late for the Wood Elf Druid I rolled during my first try at the 1.0 version. I wanted her to look like a sort of Kung Fu Galadriel, with cool tattoos and aerodynamic scars, but she emerged from the character creator looking like she'd been mugged by a packet of demon crayons. I've left my active character, a High Elf Sorceress, safely tattoo-less.

The bear fucking was one thing. But the damn genital-less mindflayers even want to jump your bones. This is the horniest game since Leisure Suit Larry!
- there's literally a sex% speedrunning category https://www.speedrun.com/baldurs_gate_3?h=sex&x=7dgemg72
- Modded Bethesda games since(and including) Morrowind want a word about being the horniest games.
  
  The fact is, vanilla Bethesda games are as dry as they come. At least when it comes to any form of adult content, even implied. Baldur's Gate 3, on the other hand, is down bad through, and through.
  
  Patiently waiting for the horny Starfield mods myself
- They know there's a good chunk of gamers that are into the tentacle stuff.
- Mindflayers but instead of multiple tentacles it's just multiple dicks
I'm ready for the impotent screeching of all the manlets who hate parts of speech.
- PrOnOuNs rUinEd my BG3 BeAr SeX!!
First they let you choose them. Now they let you change them! Aaagh the freedom is crushing! How can such control ever be given to gamers!?

Eesh.

Is Starfield even multiplayer?
- The question about Starfield being multiplayer (it's not, BTW) just made me wonder if other players in the BG3 session see your character's pronouns (I haven't played online yet).
  
  Wouldn't be that cool if the other players keep misgendering my gnome.
  
  I honestly don't know why I said Starfield. I am almost certain I meant BG3. Or maybe I also was reading about malding over Starfield pronouns.
  
  Ah well.
this is a boon for genderfluid people everywhere
- Hell you can roleplay as a trans character who has their egg cracked and slowly transitions throughout the game
Aw hell yeah, more meltdown videos on the horizon
I could have sworn it already had this functionality but I guess I'm wrong
- I think that before you could only set it in the character creation screen at the start. Now you can change it anytime.
  
  Starfield does this with it's plastic surgery shop so I imagine it's a "hey that's a good idea" thing for Larian.
Woke game, they must be going broke any minute now.

dies waiting

/s about "woke" for safety
It's about time. Should have been on release.
