Baldur's Gate 3 has been in the works for a long time at Larian, but the game's official release date (and early access exit) of August 2023 is fast approaching. At a recent panel showing off the game in Belgium, its lead writer noted that it includes many romance options, including a "tender, consensual romance" with a grizzly bear.

　　Now, if you're wondering about the ethical implications of this, it is worth stating that this grizzly bear is actually a man who has been temporarily transformed into an animal. In the D&D universe that Baldur's Gate 3 takes place in, most druids have the ability to "wild shape" into animal form a certain number of times per day, so this situation isn't as unusual as you might think.
