Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian hired intimacy coordinators to ensure its actors felt safe and comfortable during romantic scenes.
In an interview with BBC, actor Devora Wilde – who plays githyanki warrior Lae’zel in the upcoming release – revealed the studio had hired the coordinators, saying she was pleased at this decision.
An intimacy coordinator or director is “a choreographer, an advocate for actors, and a liaison between actors and production for scenes that involve nudity / hyper-exposed work, simulated sex acts, and/or intimate physical contact,” according to idcprofessionals.com.
