Gamers are well-known for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in a video game, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is no exception. While some players focus on completing the game as quickly as possible, others have a different goal in mind: how quickly can they engage in romantic encounters within the game’s expansive world?
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a sprawling RPG with a rich narrative and a multitude of characters to interact with. Players can engage in conversations, learn about the backgrounds of these characters, and even develop relationships throughout the game. Your actions and decisions can impact how these relationships evolve, potentially leading to romantic connections.
Recently, speedrunner Mae made waves in the gaming community by achieving not only the fastest overall completion time for Baldur’s Gate 3 but also the record for the fastest ‘Sex%’ speedrun. Mae managed to engage in a romantic encounter within the game in under eight minutes, setting a world record in the process.
In a video titled ‘Baldur’s Gate 3 Sex% Speedrun in 7:54 (World Record),’ Mae challenges players with the question: ‘Ever wondered how long it takes to skip all the boring parts of Baldur’s Gate 3 and get straight to the hot stuff?’
Mae’s playthrough, utilizing a character named Gigachad Thundercock, was focused on efficiency and skipping unnecessary content. They swiftly navigated through the initial dungeon crawl within the Illithid ship, a section usually taken at a slower pace. Along the way, they encountered the Githyanki fighter Lae’zel, defeated enemies, and continued to progress rapidly before the ship crashed.
Once on the surface, Mae’s character continued their speedy journey, ultimately freeing Lae’zel from imprisonment and venturing into the druid grove. After a brief encounter with goblins, Gigachad successfully convinced a Tiefling to show respect to Lae’zel, solidifying their connection.
Mae’s lightning-fast romance speedrun has earned them the top spot in Baldur’s Gate 3’s official Romance% category. This emerging category has garnered attention from players looking to test their speed and efficiency in pursuing in-game relationships. It wouldn’t be surprising to see more gamers striving to dethrone Mae and claim the title.
If you think you have what it takes to pioneer a new category, there’s still an unclaimed top spot in the Bear% category, which challenges players to unleash their imagination.
Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to captivate players with its immersive world and diverse gameplay options. Whether players choose to speed through the main story or focus on developing intricate relationships, the game offers endless opportunities for unique and exciting experiences.
