Your Dad Saves the Party

"I'm going to play Dark Urge, I'm going to play a Drow, I'm going to play a Half Elf Cleric of Selune-" No. I grow tired of filling Faerun with hotties and encouraging my party's fatherless behavior. To remedy this I have made Your Dad, the ultimate 1:1 replica of the average New Jersey father to save the realm and put a stop to my party’s sad, [blurred] business.

A Baldur’s Gate 3 character creator shows a stern, mustached, middle-aged man presented as “Your Dad,” alongside text about abandoning attractive fantasy characters to create an average New Jersey father. The joke parodies players who make glamorous or edgy characters and reframes an ordinary dad as the party’s solution to its fatherless behavior.
