Baldur’s Gate 3 has always been a popular game that many people eagerly awaited, but it was easy to determine the moment when it became mainstream – the bear scene. During the Panel from Hell event, Larian decided to showcase some romantic possibilities in the game, including a scene with the druid named Halsin. In this scene, Halsin uses his wild form to transform into a bear and… a squirrel drops its nut.
This scene sharply increased the popularity of Baldur’s Gate 3 and made it even more popular than it was before. In light of this, journalists reached out to Larian Studios to ask some questions about the famous scene.
This is just one moment. It mostly highlights Halsin’s character – he’s an elf and a druid who has lived among animals for hundreds of years, so in that sense he’s a bit of an outsider. As a player, deciding to pursue a romance with Halsin, you start learning much more about him in this scene.
So yes, just the bear. Druids won’t be able to transform into other animals for romantic scenes in Baldur’s Gate 3. But when asked if things could get even more unusual, Larian Studios replied simply, but promisingly, ”Yes.”
As for the mass response of players to the bear scene, according to Larian, they intentionally chose to showcase it because it reflects all the work that has been done in Baldur’s Gate 3 and the freedom it offers the player in choice. The creators also noted that the reaction to this scene has inspired new players to delve deeper into the game.
The scene with Halsin and Astarion sparked a surge of interest, but it became more of a starting point, getting people to talk about everything else we’ve shown in Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s just one example of a scene in the game that encompasses so much: it showcases the quality of BG3’s cinematography, it shows that player agency, choice, and consequences go beyond expectations, that Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game with interesting and complex characters.
