Almost obligatory passage of Western role-playing games, romances are the subject of many discussions: with which characters to maintain a relationship, comment achieve this, how many are there and do they develop between non-playable characters are all questions that players ask themselves.
Romances in Baldur’s Gate 3: some limits imposed by Larian
We will not reveal anything concerning the first two questions but on the other hand, on has the answer to the third and more generally, on knows the limits of the system. Larian knew players would be wondering about this, so he provided some information just before release. Besides the fact that theon can put aside this aspect, end a relationship at any time, so Larian indicated three main limits about romances. They mainly concern the original charactersi.e. those that were pre-designed by Larian.
By launching his game, the player can choose one of these characters, or create and customize his own. Well know that if you choose the second option, none of the original characters, who became NPCs through force things, will not be able to romance another. So forget the idea of Shadowheart forming a relationship with Astarion if they’re just your companions. He is also not possible play as an original character and romance another player’s original character.
However, an origin character can develop a romantic relationship with another origin character, on the condition that one of the two has been chosen by the player at the start of the game. If that seems complicated to you, don’t panic, all you have to do is launch Baldur’s Gate 3 for everything to make sense. Some players already regret these limitations, but it’s a choice made by Larian to avoid creating grotesque situations or having to write thousands of lines of dialogue extra in a title that already shows immense generosity on that side.
