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

          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.

            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.

              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.
