Players can select from a variety of torture techniques in a sequence in Baldur’s Gate 3 where they try to get information out of a prisoner. As the release date of Baldur’s Gate 3 approaches and we await a return to the D&D setting of the Forgotten Realms, the Larian RPG game has additionally been rated by the ESRB for nudity, violence, sexual content, and language. It appears like Baldur’s Gate 3 has a lot more to offer, even if you felt the bear sex scene was a touch too explicit.
We’ve learned plenty about Baldur’s Gate 3 spells and Baldur’s Gate 3 abilities. But with BG3 rapidly approaching launch, it seems the fantasy game has plenty of adult material as well. The ESRB rating for Baldur’s Gate 3 outlines a variety of mature sequences, features, and images, ranging from “a woman disemboweled, with exposed entrails,” to “a character’s exposed brain extracted from his skull.”
“In one sequence, players make dialogue choices to determine the method of violence when extracting information from a prisoner,” the Baldur’s Gate 3 ESRB rating says. “(E.g., hot poker to the thigh; butt of a spear to the groin; toenail removal); most of these acts occur off-screen, as the prisoner is seen reacting to pain.
“The game contains instances of nudity: characters with exposed breasts, buttocks, and genitalia. A handful of sequences depict topless characters engaging in brief sexual activity (e.g., positioning a character’s head over a partner’s groin area; sliding a character’s hands towards a partner’s crotch); the sexual acts are depicted off-screen or with obscured camera angles.
“One sequence depicts a nude couple on the beach moments before engaging in sexual activity – the camera pans up and the scene fades out.”
The ESRB rating also describes different instances of bad language and “blood splatter effects.” Baldur’s Gate 3 has recently become the best-selling games on Steam.
