According to Larian Studios, over 1.1 million Baldur's Gate 3 players have sampled themselves some of that Mind Flussy. I'd make fun of you all but the second I was given the option to tug on the tentacle, I went for it, so we're all a bunch of weirdos.
Well, some of us are weirder than others. 63 percent chose the Dream Guardian form (boring), the other 37 percent went with the "sensual pleasure of mind flayer tentacles" (not boring, you lot are cool). Basically, over half of you are in denial about sleeping with a mind flayer.
For contrast, 658,000 players slept with Halsin and only 30 percent of those chose his animal form, so more people went down on a mind flayer than the bear! Given how pivotal the whole 'Astarion jumps the bear bones' marketing was to the game's viral success, that's one hell of a surprise.
Even if we don't count Dream Guardian form as mind flayer (it is), 37 percent of 1.1 million is 407,000. So, over 400,000 players slept with a mind flayer, whereas 197,400 slept with Halsin's bear form.
Even More Of You Betrayed The Mind Flayer
1.1 million people slept with a squishy Eldritch monster with a bulbous egg head, but 1.8 million people betrayed him. What did he ever do to you aside from all the gaslighting and manipulation? Huh?
At least we know it wasn't part of some anti-mind-flayer crusade, since 329,000 of you convinced Orpheus to live as a mind flayer. As Larian says, "Tentacles are in this year". In what… Sorry.
There are a whole bunch of stats that you can read through in the above thread, from how many players made a custom character versus playing as an origin to how many people actually braved the newly added Honour Mode, but let's be real, the highlight is tentacle smut.
