Baldur's Gate 3 sex% runners rejoice as Larian quietly re-enables rapid Lae'zel romancing

Breaking news: Baldur's Gate 3's sex percent speedrunning category has been saved thanks to a quiet change from Larian.



Last week, a great tragedy struck the Baldur's Gate 3 speedrunning community. The game's fourth patch added a change that massively nerfed the sex percent category that has quickly taken the community by storm, a change that many thought spelled the end of the run.

However, the update made it so that you had to have "proven yourself worthy through your actions," something that made those sub-two-minute runs impossible. But… as shared by the world record holder of the category Mae, the run is back to its former glory, thanks to a quiet update Larian released the same day as the main fourth patch.
