If you found the companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 to be a little too horny, well, it turns out that was due to a bug.

Relationships are a big part of the game’s appeal, but there’s no denying that companions come on a little too strong right from the off.

Speaking to TheGamer, game director Swen Vincke admitted that romances were bugged at the game’s launch and have since been tweaked.

    I had a convo with gale at the celebration post goblin camp and he was all about inviting me to see some magic trick and I was like cool, sure why not

    then I speak to asterion and he’s like “so your’e gonna fuck gale huh? Good on ya man”

    I was like, what?

    the romance in this game is definitely forced and overly aggressive

      Yeah I just had a scene where wyll asked me to dance and I was ready to dunk on him with my skillz but instead they danced and make out and the game didn’t even ask me if I wanted to

        I literally took all the options that piss her off short of killing her and she still tried coming onto my PC.

        I really hope that has been fixed.

          Any other character I’d agree with you, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Lae’zel is into that.

            Yup, sounds pretty much in character.

            Spoiler

            I mean she literally has you fight her as a romantic encounter, initiative roll and all.

      I never went to camp when they invited me to the party and the next time I saw everybody was in act 2. Did I miss a lot?

        Kind of sorta not really?

        It’s a fun wrap-up to act 1 before you dive into the underdark or the mountain pass. It also serves as an important relationship set-up - it’s where you’re meant to establish who you want to romance, if anyone.

        But it’s probably not required so
