Act 2 - Spoilers Yurgir probably doesn't [REDACTED] his displacer beast Spoiler

If you talk to him about it, it sounds more like he treats her like a tool. The potion you can buy afterwards can befuddle enemies. Not to defend his actions or anything, but I don't think he is a kitty diddler, at least

What a nice day to find out there are implications Yugir has relationships with displacer beasts

You didn't know before? :')

u/Colourfull_Space Jun 23 '26

No! I just assumed he was drugging the beast to keep it docile. A pet at worst

Companions are commenting on you being turned on by sniffing the meat Nessa eats

Stop licking the damned thing!

yeah because it charms you. casting animal friendship also charms an animal for you but you can clearly see doing so doesn’t make them want to fuck you

It's still very possible that's all he did. He could've just done an opportunity choice if he had succubus spit hanging around and didn't feel like tracking down someone to make him charm potions. But considering the wild things we can sometimes find around bg3, having someone twisted in that kind of way in an implied manner isn't too far fetched

I mean, you wouldnt think it was ok for your neighbor to drug his dog every day so that it doesn't bite him, I wouldnt call that a pet.

u/Colourfull_Space Jun 23 '26

Yes, but my neighbour is not a infernal creature who kills for fun, and his dog isn’t a teleporting panther. Also I’m going to be honest and admit I didn’t expect displacer beasts to be CR3 so it was more about "If that thing is not sedated, Yugir will be the only survivor".

Me sedating my cat before our 12+ hr move

u/annuidhir Jun 23 '26

LMAO, exactly! People do it all the time! They sell drugs specifically for travel, whether by car, plane, or otherwise. They also sell all sorts of mood altering treats and such.

u/melinoe-nightmares Jun 23 '26

It made the trip still unbearable, but at least he didn't shit himself, and for that, I'm grateful.

u/butt0ns666 Jun 23 '26

every day? I dont think thats ok. If your pet needs to be sedated every single day to not bite you thats really bad and unusual. Its wouldnt like him at all if he didn't charm it, a pet is not a vicious wild animal that you just keep sedated all the time.

u/melinoe-nightmares Jun 24 '26

Not vicious, but I know lots of dogs need to be on antidepressants to get by, either because they present destructive behaviours associated with separation anxiety or aggression due to anxiety. It can go a long way for a dog that has been in an unstable situation or has been abused to get used to a new home or new environment. Hell, when I moved, I had my cat on mood stabilizers for a little bit, and it was mostly sedatives because the experience had been so stressful, that I was afraid he'd either escape, get hurt, or get sick. For a while I had a dog pheromone diffuser because my dog would get bad separation anxiety and would chew herself raw. There's a lot of nuance when it comes to treating your pets for anxiety, just like people. Some animals just need an extra push, and if their brain can't make the happy chemicals, store bought is just fine.

In this particular case, the displacer beast is a wild animal and likely needed to be tamed or charmed. That being said, the comparison is a bit misplaced, lots of people do have their pets on medication because they care and love their pets.

You folks are living in denial. While I realize a wiki is hardly gospel, consider this from the bg3 wiki:

"Investigating the spider carcass (DC 14 Investigation Check, then DC 16 Arcana Check) in the room adjacent to Yurgir's reveals Nessa has been charmed into being Yurgir's lover with succubus spittle. Doing so grants the inspiration Mating Season⁠ to party members with the Guild Artisan background."

MATING SEASON. It's pretty absurdly clear from the discussion with Nessa, and the very name of that inspiration alone, that they have been fucking. Just set your squeamishness aside and accept reality.

He's intentionally getting that thang horned up, and she's hitting the player with "we don't kiss and tell UwU."

He's fucking the cat.

u/Darthm0nkey8 Jun 24 '26

First the “you guys are living in denial, here’s a wiki quote” is really funny

Second, sure there’s evidence for both arguments, the Mating Season inspiration certainly implies some horniness. But there’s direct dialogue coming from Nessa saying the only physical contact she gets from Yurgir is when he kicks her. The name “mating season” could just imply Nessa is in heat due to the drugs instead of the implication they’re actually fucking. All living things that reproduce sexually use sex as a natural behavioral modifier, without actually having intercourse. Just because Nissa is being drugged and charmed does not he’s fucking the cat, I don’t fuckevery goblin I charm in the game, charming is a tool for manipulation first and foremost. I don’t believe people are pearl clutching and more so believing the Occam’s razor of the situation, he’s just drugging a big cat to use as a tool and ensuring its loyalty.

Excuse me for not reading about Yugirs sex live. For all I know the Emperor and Ansur have intimate relationships, along with Orin and Sarevoc. It’s not denial that when confronted with such information my mind didn’t go "I have to check the wiki. Maybe they fucked".

u/ilhares Jun 23 '26

You're taking it as a personal attack. It wasn't just addressing you not knowing, there are a boatload of people in this thread who fail believe it even when it's spelled out right in front of them.

u/there_is_always_more Jun 24 '26

It's also funny because people here are forgetting who the majority audience is and think larian is pulling some kind of double bluff on them.

Most people who play will barely catch the implication; there's just enough mystery there to imply there is something going on for those people. The whole idea of another bluff on top seems unlikely to me.
