Larian Studios Praised for Thoughtful Inclusion of Diverse Heights in Baldur's Gate 3 Intimate Scenes

Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 shows careful attention to height differences in intimate scenes like kissing. Shorter races were fixed quickly.
About 9% of characters are shorter races, but Larian saw even small player groups as important.
Larian's goal is an "equally rewarding" experience for even 0.001% of players, not just what stats show are popular.
Attention to diverse heights extends Larian's overall inclusion of diverse races, skin types, etc.
Larian's Swen Vincke avoids stats to avoid influencing creative choices, unlike some game studios.
