There are literally artifacts in this world that will change your sex.
Ah, well there you go then.
Best part is in the first game the girdle is basically a bait that you'll likely fall for early in the game because it and another fairly mundane magical belt are in the possession of an ogre. It got me when I was first playing through it back in the day.
In the original Balder's Gate, does sex actually do anything related to strength/other attributes in humans? It had had no effect in actual D&D for quite a long time.
Pretty sure it only matters for roleplay purposes... Characters react differently to different genders. Its been a while since I played that game though.
Its purely aesthetic. Even if you put it on your character or another companion they keep the same voice, stats, and portrait. Its just a small gag item that can be easily dispelled and then tossed aside since its cursed garbage that latches to whoever you put it on.
At least combat is still fun, though 5E still sucks. The environments are really well done and the game gives me some nice Dragon Age Origin vibes. I just don't think I'll replay it solo until they at least attempt to restore some cut content.
I played with a friend yesterday. Made a nigger joke and we both had a laugh. Also, female gythianki, if using mask or spell, has a dick
The mask is really unique, if your friends give you the time, you can customize each race during character creation and it'll save whatever you made onto the mask. You can also use it to bypass size requirements like the small holes only the smaller races can access. Terrible in combat though, for whatever reason, it disables all of your reactions regardless of whether or not you have them toggleable.
Space Hyenas
Its unfortunate that like... years ago that artifact might have been played for laughs. Like "ok here is a 5 minute gag where the brawny barbarian guy puts on the gender swap belt".
I always thought something weird was going on with her it seemed like she had no content compared to the rest of the companions. It was almost a game breaking issue to me you have to get rid of so many other companions to get her and in return she's just kind of boring I'm very glad to see they fixed this.
HA I remembering falling for that belt as well during my first playthrough. It took me forever to figure out how to take the thing off I think I was a female for like half the game lol.
I actually stopped playing the game on the evil route because of that stuff as well. It's a shame they don't really have any specials evil companions (other then Minthara) or anything like most other RPGs have. I kind of think they should've just not had a evil route at all and just focused on the good one which is way better. I regret choosing the evil route for my first playthrough so much.
Well tbh evil runs ate usually better left for subsequent playthroughs usually the good end is the best way to go on your first time
