BG3: Replace the Weirdly Skanky Noble Dresses with Modest Ones

Envergence · Post by **Envergence** » January 25th, 2024, 00:02

We already know Larian made a multitude questionable design decisions about the game, but among the many that vex me was the decision to have noblewomen dress like they work in a bordello. Florrick's EA outfit was perfect for giving her the gravitas her station demanded, but ever since a late-EA change, she's looked like a prostitute. There are also the Umberlee slags at the temple, but I wouldn't know if their religious garb was always established in lore to be skanky or not.

I assume a model and texture swap are all that is needed, or just editing applicable character information to call for them to wear a different outfit (unless this would be most likely to conflict with other mods)? I wouldn't know how to do it, but if someone could de-coomerify the game at least on a surface level, that'd be swell.

I'm also curious to know others' thoughts on this particular design decision, so feel free to share your opinions.

Not authentically medieval but authentically DnD

True enough, in the same vein as chainmail bikinis and that, but still kind of annoying IMO.

Doesn't mean that you can't make or install such a mod. Mods are about player freedom.

Sure, but I don't think it was an error on Larian's part to include this

Oh yeah. I'd be the guy installing the coomer+ mod.

the game became increasingly gay/"divierse"/sexual after the first early access release. It's hard to explain this to anyone who didn't play both, it's like they had a team go through and *** everything up.

They probably did. There are cultural sensitivity experts that companies like larian bring in to do just that.

Almost like someone ordered to "make it lame and gay".

Almost...
