As if there weren’t enough distractions in Baldur’s Gate 3 against the urgency of the tadpole in your head, here’s another treat for you if you like to collect companions. Turns out each and every one of your companions’ underwear in Baldur’s Gate 3 has a special description reserved for those er, bold enough to look.
Companion Underwear Descriptions
Some eagle-eyed users from Reddit and other social media have made it a personal side quest to find out each and every companion’s underwear description. It goes without saying that the underwear needs to be vanilla and unmodded. Also, you need every companion for this.
The neat part is that you don’t even have to pickpocket their underwear to see the underwear’s quirks (though we’re not stopping you from indulging). Just having them join the party is enough. Here’s what each underwear says. Expect some spoilers if you haven’t reached Act 3 yet.
- Shadowheart
- “If pants could brood…”
- Gale
- “Energy crackles around these. Gale wouldn’t… Surely he wouldn’t enchant his…”
- Lae’zel
- “Built for function rather than fun.”
- Astarion
- “If you’re reading this, you managed to bed or behead me. Either way, you got lucky.”
- Wyll
- “Long may these gird the Blade of Frontiers.”
- Karlach
- “How do these not burn off?”
- Halsin
- “Why does it smell like a herb garden?”
- Minthara
- “Woven with as much toughened cobweb as cloth.”
- Jaheira
- “Embroidered with little ducks.”
- Minsc
- “Tight, aerodynamic, and built for maximum breathability. Humidity is no friend to hamsters.”
Some of the descriptions also fuelled a fan theory from user u/rawkwardsauce, who claimed that Jaheira’s underwear in Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an indication of her “liaison” with Halsin. This is because one of Halsin’s lines in-game is “Ducks… I like ducks,” which implies that either Halsin sewed those ducks in Jaheira’s underwear or she designed them to appeal to Halsin.
Regardless, Lae’zel needs to stop lying to herself; that underwear is for weapons-grade Githyanki fun… Moreover, those who would canonically romance Minsc are in for a surprise. The. Hamster. Stays.
