Baldur’s Gate 3 surprised players with some of the wildest sex scenes seen in AAA games, including the opportunity to find themselves in the tender grip of the mind machine’s tentacles. Developers from Larian Studios revealed the efforts made by one of the artists to make the animation of climbing the tentacles as realistic as possible.
Spoiler alert!
It’s about a sex scene with the Emperor, Illidid, who turns out to be the mysterious manipulator behind your dream keeper. If you’re okay with being a little (a lot) brainwashed, you can choose to join the Emperor, so to speak.
One of the options in this scene allows you to gently slap one of the tentacles on the Emperor’s face. And now you can check out the videowhich was a reference for this animation.
Here’s our senior cinematography artist, Elodie Ceselli, stabbing a packet of cream-filled biscuits as a reference for the tentacle flapping animation during the Emperor’s sex.
It looks funny, but there is nothing surprising about it. Animators often use the most unusual references to express movements accurately.
