There are two kinds of bugs in video games. The first are game breaking bugs that halt your progression or make it annoying to play. The second set are bugs that don’t really impede your gameplay in any way, but add a bit of comedy to it.Baldur’s Gate 3‘s most famous one of these isthe Shadowheart portrait glitchthat moves her to one corner of the portrait. It’s pretty minor, but funny as hell.
While Shadowhear’s version of this is the most common, and everyone’s favourite, it seems it can occur with other characters too. However, it seems that the glitch has occurred in an especially thirsty and hilarious manner for one player. Baldur’s Gate 3’s resident hunk, Halsin, looks even hunkier thanks to the portrait glitch.
Halsin Looks Like He’s Sending Thirst Traps
As showcased byGamin_Reasons‘ post on Reddit, they got a version of the glitch that moves Halsin towards the top, so that his chest is visible in the portrait. However, it doesn’t end there, as Halsin is topless in the portrait for reasons only known to Gamin_Reasons. They did try to explain themselves, but we’re not judging!
“I’ve been using Halsin as a Camp Cleric when I leveled him up and had the Portrait glitch,” they said. “He doesn’t have any equipment besides his camp clothes so he was just in his underwear in the level up screen when the glitch happened.” Sure… that’s totally what happened. Of course, the comments didn’t disappoint at all.
Most of the comments were gifs and images about Halsin’s beefy chest that I can’t really explain here. Others were in admiration of Halsin’s hot bod or about how it’s the perfect boomer dating app photo. It looks like Halsin finally proved useful for reasons other than just saving the Shadow Cursed lands and weird bear sex.
Larian Studios’ Swen Vincke On Divinity Following In The Early Access Footsteps Of Baldur’s Gate 3
After the global success of Baldur’s Gate 3, we sit down with Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke to talk all things Divinity.
While we’re not complaining, this portrait glitch has plagued the devs at Larian for a long time. A relatively recent patch note even joked about finally fixing it, but it still managed to persist. By now, it’s become a fan-favourite “feature”, so I really hope they just let it be.
