Love and romance have become an integral part of Baldur’s Gate 3, but former Dragon Age and BG2 writer David Gaider says BG3’s romance is “too overt.”

    Lae’zel is something of a special case, but I understand where you’re coming from. Her romance essentially starts with “Wanna be friends with benefits?” and doesn’t develop from there for a while.

      And then having what I considered to be a casual one night stand with her then basically locks you out of most other romance options, which is stupid

        That’s true but I think you can just say “I’m ending our fling” and choose another romance from there, right?

          Not with shadowheart unfortunately, she doesn’t allow the romance there to go any further, at least in my playthrough

            Well, Shadowheart and Leazel have quite a rivalry between eachother. It would make sense that sleeping with one would make the other mad.

              Totally agree, but this was in my playthrough where shadowheart showed the romantic interest of an acorn, and lae’zel was like “quick one night stand to get the muscles stretched?” And then from that point shadowheart was like “oh you guys have a good thing, I don’t want to mess that up” even if I broke ties with lae’zel, showed no further interest. Might have just been a bug or the specific approach I took. It’s all good, I’ll spend the 20 hours it takes to get into shadowheart’s pants next playthrough lol

            Well, I had the opposite experience. I was having that fling with Lae’zel and could start the shadowheart romance no issues. And that was even before patch 1.

            Oh interesting. That is a bummer then - I wonder if the patch fixed it.

              It’s certainly possible, I’ll definitely have another playthrough after this so I’ll be sure to treat the horny githyanki with more caution that time lol

        This wasn’t my experience. Shadowheart just confronted me after, giving me the option to choose who to stick with in a pretty obvious way.
