De-Girlboss 1.0 Beta — Baldur's Gate 3

[ModdersHQ]

---

► Overview

Girlbosses are turned into men. Simple as that!
32 NPCs have been converted in this release!

---

► Disclaimer

This is a BETA release that we’re hoping to update regularly based on feedback and reports.
The voice lines, visuals, and NPC names have been modded, but we still have to update voice lines referencing the character, pronouns in dialogue selections, and journal entries.

• Devella Fountainhead was separated from the main 31 NPCs because she has by far the most interactions with other NPCs, journal entries and will be the most incomplete character conversion out of all of them
• Liara Portyr has a restoral option because that character was mentioned in a D&D book

---

This mod requires REALMS RESTORED (Aesthetics, Heads, & Swaps)

Using claude. Asked it to find info on Aylin and iteratively update her search terms based on dialogue it finds about her... its found 150+ lines . So far so good.

EDIT: nope ****** missed all the Aradin, balthazar, ketheric lines.

EDIT2: i got 500 lines and looks like it picked up all companion dialogue related to her... progress <3

EDIT3: 60% false positive...

EDIT4: reduces false positives massively, but hello 50% false negatives.

AI gonna replace our jobs? Nah, not anytime soon
holding claude's hand all the way.

ModdersHQ is slowly working on various aspects of DeGirlBoss. No one character is currently ready for a alpha release. But we'll post some progress here

@orinEsque : Been working on a tool that would gather up all the dialogue in a format that an LLM can easily identify lines that mention a character's gender. Using Dame Aylin as validation since I think I got 99.9% of her lines by now with all your reports. The formatting bit is done. Now running LLM on it.

@Lancaster & @Silver : Been working on voice lines for a few characters. Not ready yet for release. Likely will release a less important girl boss to get the mod started.

Very nice! Our feelings wouldn't be hurt if community members had some recommended voices they'd like to donate.

[Trickster]

Oh my god. You guys are reading my mind. I was going to ask for exactly this type of mod today. Because in my playthrough, even with Realm Restored + No Alphabet People, the overabundance of girlboss characters is so painful and feels like garbage woke-washed "writing".

These ******* often behave so aggressively and vulgarly (like Jaheira, who literally attacks us to prove how "badass" she is, and the game leaving only two choices: grovel like a soyboy loser or kill her - making violence seem like the only rational response).

Even if it's hard to do (And i think that's intentionally)



Sometimes the game literally have overdoses on girlbosses. One girlboss captures you,



another girlboss rescues you a second later,



just for you going to a third girlboss who's planning to attack "helpless refugees".



There's no doubt they intentionally designed them this way: brazen, aggressive, utterly unfeminine, and somehow always in positions of power. It's like matriarchal fantasy where women aren't the exception, but rather the default ruling class. This needs fixing.
Women should be jewels in a man’s world. Not ugly caricatures of "coolness" designed by people who understand neither real strength nor what women actually are.

Nothing wrong with Jaheira imo. Infact i find her quite endearing, and a breath of fresh air when compared to the other companions.

When you actually bring her along, you'll find out that despite being the High Harper, she's completely okay, and even happy to defer to your leadership, and she's got a great sense of humor, meaning that she can take jokes, sometimes even leaning into them. You can literally gain approval with her by calling her old.

I'm just gonna link the thread I made in the past, it might contain some ideas from people:
viewtopic.php?t=1475-baldurs-gate-3-def ... od-request

[orinEsque]

Yes jaheira has always been a very cool character. Whether you are evil or good, she knows you have the greater good in mind, and follows through (in bg1 and 2).

And she's always played a motherly admonisher, rather than a girlboss.

That being said, I intend to make sure she stays with you if you kill Isobel and Nightsong AFTER you save the Inn people in Act II. It's extremely out of character for her to leave based on such a decision.

Main characters would be difficult to change, because we'd have to change every NPC that would use their (dead name lol) previous pronouns. However, Shaman Gut might have a better ring to it than Priestess Gut.

I agree, let's focus on world NPCs for now.

I think the warlock girl could stay as a girl? considering female warlock controlled by a devil are far more believable than female warrior in leadership positions.

Def possible, but again it feels a little unnecessary, I'd expect a ugly old witch to be a shaman/witch doctor without categorising it as girlboss. That part wasn't immersion breaking . EDIT: THEN AGAIN, 2/3 goblin targets being female does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

It started with militia being women, the woman crying over a dead friend... ******* hell, some ***** telling you to put your back into it to break the door down... like you ******* what now?!

Leader of the Zhents being a little chinese woman who looks like she hasn't even borne a child yet...

She's a powerful druid, doesn't seem that out of place to me. And she did that out of necessity, i don't think she was doing it just for the girlbossy spectacle.

And personally i think the nightsong turning out to be a ****** ruined act 2, but that's just me.

Is it possible to at least change her character introduction? I mean, without her attacking our hero with magic, and the only response from him being something cringe line like, "Wait, let me explain, mah queen! Don't hit me" I know it's a very personal request, but for me, it breaks the immersion when the Dark Urge, who has already left a hundred corpses in their wake, can only interact with her by giving such a submissive, soy, near-surrender line to someone who literally cast a spell on them from the get-go. To put it simply, I really dislike the dichotomy: either kill Jaheira, or completely grovel before the girlboss. There needs to be a third option that allows me to see the content while staying true to my roleplay, or just change the entire scene altogether.

As a player who hasn't finished the game with Tav let alone dark urge, i must ask who you are talking about and what this convo was...

Her introduction. When she ensnares you with her roots and then you just rip free, this "cool, multi-option RPG" gives you two choices: either grovel before her or just attack.

Hmm simple text change to:

should solve that issue

Unironically, that would even fit better. Because even after that line, Jaheira literally commands her people to kill us.

Oh yeah I remember she had to be convinced more to back down

[Trickster]

Oh yeah I remember she had to be convinced more to back down

And that conviction, by the way, also contains its own dose of girlboss cringe. A little girl saves Tav/DU. Here, the level of idiocy crosses over into anime territory.

we're thinking of swapping her with one of the boys. Mol needs to just not exist. Little boys should be screaming cooties at that age, not follow a little girl.

[orinEsque]

Calling all Britbongs, if you can help us identify the specific regional accent: e.g. cockney, queens English, Irish Scottish etc for the girlbosses in OP, that would be very helpful.

Voice conversations work best when the voice model has a similar accent. So if you have a recommended Youtuber/ someone with good quality audio recordings that has a similar accent to one of these girls that would be great too. Obviously we're looking for male voices. If you wanted to donate your own voice that's also possible (accent must be British, otherwise conversion is not great)

Calling all Britbongs, if you can help us identify the specific regional accent: cockney, queens English, Irish Scottish etc for the girlbosses in OP, that would be very helpful.

Voice conversations work best when the voice model has a similar accent. So if you have a recommended Youtuber/ someone with good quality audio recordings that has a similar accent to one of these girls that would be great too. Obviously we're looking for male voices. If you wanted to donate your own voice that's also possible (accent must be British, otherwise conversion is not great)

Use jacksepticeye for all of them

I approve of the initiative to root out the limeys in our midst.

Subjects of Perfidious Albion, please step forward and publicly announce your allegiance, absolutely nothing bad will happen.

Oh my god. You guys are reading my mind. I was going to ask for exactly this type of mod today. Because in my playthrough, even with Realm Restored + No Alphabet People, the overabundance of girlboss characters is so painful and feels like garbage woke-washed "writing".

These ******* often behave so aggressively and vulgarly (like Jaheira, who literally attacks us to prove how "badass" she is, and the game leaving only two choices: grovel like a soyboy loser or kill her - making violence seem like the only rational response).

Even if it's hard to do (And i think that's intentionally)



Sometimes the game literally have overdoses on girlbosses. One girlboss captures you,



another girlboss rescues you a second later,



just for you going to a third girlboss who's planning to attack "helpless refugees".



There's no doubt they intentionally designed them this way: brazen, aggressive, utterly unfeminine, and somehow always in positions of power. It's like matriarchal fantasy where women aren't the exception, but rather the default ruling class. This needs fixing.
Women should be jewels in a man’s world. Not ugly caricatures of "coolness" designed by people who understand neither real strength nor what women actually are.

Nobody would've cared if they pushed the girl boss narrative with a detailed Drow storyline in The Underdark.

It was mentioned in the other thread but Gypsy Grandma should probably rank higher than... well, all of them IMO. Elderly woman in armour commanding a tribe of nomad vampire hunters just looked comical.

Though, much as with Guts, I think she can work by just turning her into a sorceress or cleric, which would be far less effort (no dialogue changes). Then she just appears as the tribal "wise crone" instead of a tough soldier.

As a evolved elder brain, It should be a composite mind from many, many, many Illithids, who are sexless, but pretty exclusively act male.
There would be zero discernable femininity in it, unless it was trying to trick or manipulate someone.

Now the game only needs new gameplay to be something entirely else and it's potentially good.

I'm thinking it being more of a matter of perspective per individual. Rather than digging up everyone's dialogue that refers to The Absolute as "she/her" we only do it for a few.
