If you found the companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 to be a little too horny, well, it turns out that was due to a bug.
Relationships are a big part of the game’s appeal, but there’s no denying that companions come on a little too strong right from the off.
Speaking to TheGamer, game director Swen Vincke admitted that romances were bugged at the game’s launch and have since been tweaked.

Ugh, I hate bad PC writing. It’s bad enough when it’s “I agree 100%,” “I agree 100% and wanna s your d,” and “You’re the stupidest, ugliest, evilest piece of absolute crap I have ever seen in my life and I’d kill you myself if it wouldn’t get your blood in the carpet” but then some games just insist on somehow making it non-obvious which is which >:|
One of my favorite youtube channels did a riff on this
You might have missed a lot of signals over the years if you didn’t grok that his hips weren’t lying.
