Studio Larian hinted at… unusual romantic options in the upcoming Baldur’s Gate 3.
Attention, spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3!
One of the characters Baldur’s Gate 3 fans have been paying attention to during the early access period of the game is the druid Halsin. Khalsin is an NPC and potential companion that can be rescued from prison. But if played right, Halsin can be much more than just a companion.
As a druid, Halsin can temporarily take on the form of a bear, and he does so during the romantic scene. Larian showed this “furry” meeting during the “Panel From Hell” livestream. You can see it in the tweet below.
The scene was too explicit for TikTok, which interrupted the live broadcast an hour before it ended.
TikTok canceled our broadcast because it was too artistic and they don’t understand

In an interview with IGN, Larian head Sven Wincke called the bear sex scene in Baldur’s Gate 3 “ridiculous”.
Muscular “daddy” Halsin is arguably the most requested romance NPC in the Baldur’s Gate 3 community. Fans have even hacked into the game looking for voice lines and resources that hinted that he might be a romance option. Now they don’t have to guess anymore.
Have you ever wondered about the joys and pleasures of sex with a druid in the form of a beast? Because at Larian we talked about it and ultimately decided to give people what they want: a gentle, consensual romance with a man who has temporarily turned into a grizzly.

Speaking to IGN, Vincke said that a typical Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough would take between 75 and 100 hours. However, those players who want to “do it all” can wait twice as much game time.
