Baldur’s Gate 3 D&D dev explains why you can’t kiss a Mind Flayer

As the latest game from the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2, D&D RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 offers players similar levels of choice-based gameplay – so one player asked developer Larian why it wasn’t possible to romance one of the game’s monstrous Mind Flayers. It’s all about respect, apparently.

The Mind Flayers are the main antagonists of Baldur’s Gate 3, the still in development Dungeons & Dragons RPG from Larian Studios. The monstrous tentacle-mouthed psychic Illithids are horrifying creations that most people wouldn’t want to get romantically involved with, but no one should underestimate just how horny D&D players can get.

User @calamarti on Twitter sent a report in Larian about an issue she had with Baldur’s Gate 3 – specifically, how disappointing it was that it wasn’t possible to kiss or romance a Mind Flayer in the game. What made it even more fun was that Larian responded, in all seriousness, and suggested that they originally planned to let players kiss Mind Flayers but it’s not what the monsters would’ve wanted.
