When your son's friends start sending him bear pics, you know you made a splash.

Ah. Spoilers. Great.

If you’ve managed to miss anything about the bear sex until this post, I’m honestly kind of impressed.

Meh. As I get older I don't have my finger on the pulse anymore. Things come out and I go "oh cool" and I pick it up whenever.

I've barely even talked to the dude who I assume is the wildshape you can romance. Of course I didn't know. I've been rolling with the boss bitches because all the good fighters are the ladies.

It was one of the few things I DID know about this game lmao

Same! I knew it was based on D&D and you could have sex with a bear. 🤣

I have, but I doubt I'll be playing the game so I'll go read

I specifically avoid most gaming sites and forums because I hate this type of casual spoiling. I don't want to have to avoid beehaw gaming too.

I know a lot of people don't care about spoilers, and that's a-okay and a valid way to enjoy games. But surprises are very important to the way I enjoy them. I hardly ever replay games either, for this reason. I totally understand why some people don't care at all, but nonetheless, spoilers like this do affect my enjoyment of games. This one admittedly probably less so than most, but even so, I'd have rather not known ahead of time.

Edit: ah, apparently this was part of a marketing campaign? That's more forgiveable, then, for people to be chatting about it, though I still don't want to know.

Not really. It tells you that there’s a druid who can turn into a bear and there’s a romance option for him. That’s it.

Doesn’t mention who he is or how he‘s relevant to the story. Most players won’t even see that scene in their first playthrough unless they explicitly look for it.

That's the only thing I'm interested in the game for

Yeah, that's really a small part of the game lmao. There are also way more companions in general than I thought there would be. I just recruited the druid last night and in the same area I recruited one other person and killed another who I thought was just a boss but apparently you can recruit. 3 potential companions from one dungeon is crazy lol
