"They let me!": Baldur's Gate 3 writer couldn't believe the nonsense Larian allowed in flavor text

Baldur's Gate 3.

If there's one thing I remember about Baldur's Gate 3, it's the amusement I got out of reading item descriptions and notes – and it turns out that Larian Studios likely had just as much fun while writing them as players like me did going over them.

There's plenty to love about the ridiculous (in a positive way, of course) writing in Baldur's Gate 3, from the creative Vicious Mockery insults to the item descriptions developers likely knew many folks would just glance over – not me, though. Not me.

I still recall reading the note on Astarion's underwear: "If you're reading this, you managed to bed or behead me. Either way, you got lucky." I'll never forget it… and there are plenty more like it.
