Title: Baldur’s Gate 3 Sex% Speedrun Records Thwarted by Recent Patch
Subtitle: Patch introduces new challenges for speedrunners seeking romantic climax in game

Baldur’s Gate 3 players were met with a groundbreaking patch on Friday, bringing about improvements to the game in various aspects. However, the update also proved to be a stumbling block for a small group of sex speedrunners dedicated to achieving romantic conquest in record time.
The “Sex%” category within the Baldur’s Gate 3 speedrunning community has long been dominated by player Maeeeeee, who managed to forge a romantic connection with Githyanki Fighter Lae’Zel in just under two minutes, a feat that seemed almost unreal. Unfortunately, this record is expected to remain unchallenged for now, as one of the 1000+ changes introduced in Friday’s patch was aimed at reducing the aggression of the Githyanki, at least in one aspect. This adjustment means that:
“For Lae’zel to decide to romance you, you no longer only need to gain high enough approval from her. You must also have proven yourself worthy through your actions.”
The game’s community is now scrambling to discover the nature of these “worthy actions,” trying to determine their lengths and requirements. Redditor Monk-Ey aptly expressed the community’s concerns, stating, “This specific change could be huge for the speedrun category, as we don’t know yet what these worthy actions are and how long it’d take to do them: Sex% might never be the same again.”
The unexpected turn of events within the Baldur’s Gate 3 Sex% community has sparked a range of emotions and reactions. Players and enthusiasts are actively discussing this upheaval in the comments section and sharing their thoughts on the recent patch’s impact.
As the situation unfolds, speedrunners are diligently working to adapt their strategies and identify the newly imposed challenges. The notion of achieving the quickest romantic conquest record may forever be altered by this latest update, leaving the Sex% category in shambles.
