A politician has recently made a jab at Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida, by comparing him to the default halfling character in Baldur’s Gate 3. Jackson Peel, the director of communications for the Florida House of Representatives, tweeted out a screenshot of the character with the caption 'Am I going crazy or does the default halfling character in Baldur’s Gate 3 look like Ron DeSantis?'.
The comparison has gained traction among several people, including author Parker Molloy who posted a side-by-side comparison of the two. The resemblance is uncanny, down to the awkwardly placed arms. People have defended the character, arguing that it's the 'good twin' of DeSantis.
At the time of writing, DeSantis has not yet issued a response. It's unclear whether this playful jab will cause any controversy, or if DeSantis will have the last laugh. In any case, Baldur’s Gate 3 has already become a phenomenon in the gaming world. Pre-orders for the PS5 version have already exceeded those of Spider-Man 2, and the game has broken Steam records. It's also gained attention for its full frontal nudity and the fact that some players feel like playing it is an unpaid job.
