Sometimes it’s hard to find lewd news worth mentioning given the slower pace of the sex content industry. Other weeks you magically end up finding some headlines pretty easily. And once in a blue moon, you read a sexual headline and then spend ten minutes coming to terms with the fact that it’s actually true news. That was my adventure learning about the latest showcase for Baldur’s Gate 3 that was played for fans. You see, the game was advertising just how much potential there is to craft your own story and by god, what better way to do that than by playing a scene where the player can choose to fuck a druid who shapeshifts into a bear, and then get railed by Winnie The Pooh’s cousin himself. You can say it’s weird, wild, horrific, or even disgusting, but by god it’s… unique? I’ll leave the official showcase video below in case no one believes me. The bear section starts at 5:33:19.

At first I thought this was some exaggerated or fake news considering this is a big upcoming release, not some indie title that will get blown off Steam after two weeks. The potential for sex in the more interactive form of video games is pretty high in my opinion, however the barriers of entry to produce a quality game in the first place tend to make the end result pretty shitty most of the time. I love my lewd visual novels as much as the next guy, but to me they’re only good so often.  Seeing such huge sexual opportunity in a big budget game has my fingers crossed that if you can fuck a bear, then surely there’s more regular and uh, well, appealing sexual options at your fingertips to discover across your journey. Perhaps there won’t be much else and this was merely a (successful) marketing stunt to drum up attention for the game though. The official release date for PC is August 3rd of this year, and the PS5 release date follows about a month later on September 6th. 

While I’m not at all excited for any bear fucking, lord knows I probably won’t even be buying the game strictly based on personal time constraints, I can’t help but anticipate the possibilities the title may unlock. Like I said I think games still have a ton of untapped potential for sexual scenarios, but are often limited by a lack of resources. Time will tell if this ridiculous option was a one-off bit or a sign of an effort to include more sexual options in a non-indie RPG series. Have you played any of the prior Baldur’s Gate games? Did you hear about the bear debacle? Are you planning to pick the game up later this year? Find a druid, ask them to stay human, and beat the furry allegations in the comments below!
