Baldur's Gate 3 is far more "adult" than most fans were probably expecting. And that same liberal attitude has been extended to character creation, where we will get to pick and choose the style of genitals we want.
If your interest in Baldur's Gate 3 derives from a general interest in fantasy RPGs then you might be surprised at how adult the game is (and also you should check out the next best fantasy RPG releasing after BG3).
But if you're coming to this game as a player of Dungeons & Dragons, who wants a digital simulation of their favorite TTRPG, then it will be completely unsurprising to you that the game features adult themes.

"Penis Type C, Please!" Larian Lets Fans Pick Their Own Genitals In Baldur's Gate 3!
Larian have revealed that players will get to pick their character's genitals and pubic hair from a range of different styles in Baldur's Gate 3. You won't be allowed to choose the size of your genitals, but you do at least get to choose the shape. As Kotaku describe in their interview with lead designer Alena Dubrovina:
You can choose between a penis or a vagina, as well as pubic hair options. According to Dubrovina, the decision to add this option didn’t stem from the inclusion of sex scenes in romance subplots, but rather because the team decided to make underwear a piece of equipment you would obtain throughout the game, customize, and wear. She explained that underwear is an extension of the character customization as a form of in-universe expression.
“The question arose, ‘what happens when you take it off?’” she said. “At first we were like, ‘you know, maybe nothing’s gonna happen. Maybe we’re gonna have another underwear mesh under it. Who cares? But then I started thinking about it, talking about it, and we realized that for some players, it’s just another way to represent their identity.”
Don't worry, we're already working on our "Complete Tier-Ranking Of Every Penis In BG3" guide and it will be released shortly as well.
