Baldur’s Gate 3 is filled with secrets and mysteries that need to be uncovered, although not all of them were intended to be discovered.
One example is a group of naked male character models (accompanied by one fully clothed default Dark Temptation), which players have noticed right behind the character creation editor. While they are typically not visible, those who encounter game issues and mods end up in a location that fans have nicknamed the “Naked Guy Kingdom”.
Now, joining in on the fun on social media, Larian Studios has explained the purpose behind these character models. After responding to a tweet mentioning the so-called ”Naked Guy Kingdom,” Larian Studios explained why all the character models are off-screen.
The Naked Guy Kingdom, as it has been named on the Internet, serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, they are used as voice acting mannequins. When you select your voice during character creation, it needs to be assigned to a physical mannequin character. So, one of these random naked dudes will emerge from the shadows, replicating the sound samples of the voice you have chosen. Another usage is as a physical avatar assigned in the background while the player creates their own hero. Yes, it’s a harsh fate. Thank you, Naked Guy!
All of this does not explain why the character models are naked, why Dark Temptation is present by default, or why some have genitals while others resemble Ken dolls. However, Larian’s explanation provides an interesting insight into game development and the technical details that studios have to consider, which are usually unseen by players.
