Hearing what it was like to write, shoot, and animate ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ definitely explains why the romances and intimate moments feel so real.

    Most didn’t work for me. Many felt forced. Complete 2 quests for this companion and suddenly they love you and want to fuck at the soonest opportunity

      Err how many quests do you make someone go on before you’ll sleep with them? Because for me, two very dangerous quests involving swords and magic would be plenty.

        Tbh, I’d fuck someone for going on ONE quest for me. Doesn’t even have to be dangerous, could just be something like, Can you swing by the shop on the way over? Thank you 🥵

            I just need one bag of ice, rum, a blender, and whatever else to make some piña coladas. Bring these things and I will share my body with you, githyanki.

      Lae’zel, at least, seemed to just want to fuck, not fall in love.

        Right? I don’t have her as part of my active party - she just hangs out at camp. So one night I strolled over and was like, “Yo, you seem to be looking at me differently.” And then, basically, she was all, “Yep, you’re doing shit to me. Let’s fuck.”

        Meanwhile, I’m crushing hard on Shadowheart, taking her along on all the adventures, chatting her up, and all I’ve got to show for it is a stupid kiss and her giddy schoolgirl remarks when I speak with her now.

          Whereas everybody is trying to get into my tiefling’s pants, except Halsin, the one she’s all but throwing her panties at yet getting nowhere with. I even had Wyll dance for me out of nowhere, and Karlach’s recently been like, “hey girl,” but Halsin’s still barely giving me the time of day.

          My poor girl has definitely screamed into her pillow at least once this whole adventure.

            Wyll knows how to dance? I can’t get him to do shit for me. I mean, yeah, he’s not exactly the love interest I’m going for, but we’re still hanging out at medium relationship-wise and perhaps because of that (?), nothing interesting has happened since we squared away the Karlach thing.

            Literally nothing, despite having comparatively little to do before moving on now. All Wyll knows how to do is well met, accidentally wear helmet during dialogue, fall into chasm and die.

            Which happened again during the hag fight, btw. It’s never anyone else, just him. I don’t want to take his thing.

              Yeah, one day I went to talk to Wyll, and it went into a cutscene of him practicing his ballroom dancing, and then he shoots his shot. My poor, socially awkward tiefling, a ranger who normally lives in the woods away from people, was not at all ready for any of it.

              I never take Wyll out because he’s made of tissue paper, so I wasn’t expecting it.

        Lae’zel definitely softens up as the romance goes on through the game, to not spoil too much without saying more.

          I feel like the relationship with Lae’zel grows a lot over the course of the game. But you have to really commit to going that route.

        Yeah, but then you find out Gith lay eggs, which raises weird questions. Idk, maybe their closest analog is a platypus, which would make them far more adorable if they werent trying to separate your head from your neck so often.
