Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has shaved His Majesty after fans of the cat complained about a recent change that added fur.

    Weird because I just saw him for the first time yesterday. He looked good as a Persian.

      Same here. If there’s a mod to put fur on him, I might. Bald cats are gross.

        Never mind the nudity toggle, we need a “hairless cats” toggle at the beginning of the game too I guess, if we want everyone to be happy. :P

        They totally are, but I’m personally glad they changed it back. A singularly non-aesthetic little creature demanding praise and admiration for its supposedly fabulous looks? And Astarion approves if you do?

        Everything about it was so fitting that I never would have guessed it wasn’t intentional. There would be no real reason for him to especially like cats, and definitely none for him to enjoy watching you kowtow to a person, let alone a house pet. He hates that shit.

        But he does like when you side with monsters and other things that people generally find dangerous or gross, and changing it to a regular persian actually makes the interaction make less sense. To say nothing of how amusing that level of misplaced pride from a talking ballsack was.

        I thought that until I actually held a sphinx. Turns out the baldness was an illusion. It had short, light fur, and was incredibly soft.
