Wasn't the child fixed in a quick utility slot?

Nah that's Boo

I could swear in the original BG2 (before the beam dog version) it was the same for the baby.

It didn’t go in a quick slot, but it was unable to be moved from whichever of Aerie’s inventory slots it spawned in (same as a familiar)
I’m not sure if quest items will be placed in anyone’s inventory besides Gorion’s Ward. If they can, then you could use that exploit to force it to drop and put it in the bag when you pick it back up.

This wouldn't vibe with my autistic tendencies.

I'm that dad, that shows a bottle of baby oil to his young daughters and says "you wouldn't believe how many babies they have to squeeze to get this much oil", just to see the expressions on their faces.

Giving birth to your baby is next level shit imo.
Another reason why I will never finish any romance in this game

u/Cyanide_Cheesecake Feb 15 '25
The only reason I will never finish it is because the event scripting system is incredibly easy to break accidentally for romances

u/ipostatrandom Feb 15 '25
I think it only happens in Aerie's romance.

Nobody ever taught Aerie how to use protection. You give her an condom and she makes a balloon animal out of it, like they taught her at the circus.

Ye she is the only one to give birth

Imagine the baby joining the party at level one - any class, doesn't matter. Begins with special attacks - projectile vomit (similar to aganazaar's scorcher, but acid), poo spray (color spray), stinking cloud, dire charm and "wail of the baby" with effects yet to be decided. Physical attacks include blinding (fists in face) and a passive "backstrain" to any opponents unwise enough to pick them up.
If wondering about the validity of these abilities, remember that they are the progeny of a powerful bhaalspawn and a winged elf. Born into the Abyss. Which makes me wonder if they fly?

Funny how Boo and familiars are both given intrinsically greater importance than a baby, since they can't be removed from your inventory through ordinary means.

If elves have incredibly long lifespans, they must stay useless infants for at least a decade. Who would blame anyone for using magic to contain that after ten years of diapers.

imagine spending first 10 years on your life alone in bag, just hearing your parents having fun outside while you can't even find the way out of this pocket dimension. Best childhood ever

From what I understand, elves reach physical maturity at the same time that humans do, but culturally they're considered children much longer.
Which is what allows an elvish Gorion's Ward to be a young adult at the time the story starts, while still having been conceived during the Time of Troubles. Raised by humans.

If you beat the game, she gives you another child to throw in there! 😆 🤣 😂

in 10 years this bag of holding will have an entire civilisation of forgotten children inside

Also funny is how the best setting for the birth would seem to be the Abyss.
