Thank goodness, the return of the bingus. The animal kingdom's most perfect creature.

Love a good shaved pussy, lol.

These cats have incredible slap fights since they don't have fur. Whenever I see one in BG3, it reminds me of this video

Well I hope we get another hotfix this week with a fix for the

mild act 2 spoilersstrange ox killing Dammon upon loading in at last light inn.

I've been avoiding returning there my last couple sessions, but I'd like to resolve some of the quests and get some gear soon... I have definitely lost pregress a couple times. When I realized later that for some reason part of that area had loaded in, despite me not even getting all that close.

Yeah and fix the bug where every npc runs out of the dome and dies in the shadow curse

[–] Glemek@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oof, what triggers that one?

[–] SaltyLemon66@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Think it was after the fight where you have to defend a portal for Halsin. Every NPC in the Inn stayed in "panic mode" and kept running out into the curse

Oh damn, I thought I had just accidentally triggered that not thinking it was a bug

Weird because I just saw him for the first time yesterday. He looked good as a Persian.

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Same here. If there's a mod to put fur on him, I might. Bald cats are gross.

[–] Nepenthe@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

They totally are, but I'm personally glad they changed it back. A singularly non-aesthetic little creature demanding praise and admiration for its supposedly fabulous looks? And Astarion approves if you do?

Everything about it was so fitting that I never would have guessed it wasn't intentional. There would be no real reason for him to especially like cats, and definitely none for him to enjoy watching you kowtow to a person, let alone a house pet. He hates that shit.

But he does like when you side with monsters and other things that people generally find dangerous or gross, and changing it to a regular persian actually makes the interaction make less sense. To say nothing of how amusing that level of misplaced pride from a talking ballsack was.

I thought that until I actually held a sphinx. Turns out the baldness was an illusion. It had short, light fur, and was incredibly soft.
