How to find love in Faerun.
RomancesinBaldurs Gate 3can be a delicate balancing act.
Since each companion has their own opinions, its difficult or even impossible to keep everyone happy with you.
Instead, its best to focus on impressing the companions youre most interested in.
Not all companions need the same level of approval for begin their romance.
For example,Laezelwill approach you for romance even if you have a neutral approval.
you’re able to check approval at any time from companionscharacter sheets.
A key way of raising approval is by following the companionspersonal questsand being supportive throughout them.
Look out for ‘!’
However, try talking to the companions in camp even if they dont have a ‘!’
There are sometimes dialogue options during these times that can raise approval.
Camp often.Some events can be missed if you go too long without pausing for a rest.
Bear this in mind as the celebration approaches.
Note that only one companion can be romanced at the celebration.
These are all based onAct 1of the game, which lasts until just after the celebration.
Some romances really heat up here or even earlier.
Gale
Gale is an early recruitable companion.
Gale is aHuman Wizardwho has a strong moral core and approves of actions that help others.
For example, agreeing to help the refugees in the Druids Grove earns approval with Gale.
He also has a condition which he will approach you about given time.
Helping him and providing him with theitemshe needs is also a good way to raise his approval.
Once you do, she can be invited to the party.
Laezel is aGithyanki Fighter, and she doesnt need much persuading to come onto you.
you might also visit Laezel at night again after this if you would like.
That makes it a good opportunity to romance a different companion - Laezel doesnt mind.
Astarion
Astarion is one of the earliest recruitable companions.
Once you give him a hand, you’re able to add him to your party.
Astarion is anElf Rogue, a noble, and not a very nice guy.
Astarion also enjoys siding with the characters in the game presented as villains, like thegoblins.
Going along with what he wants is a good time to get his approval up.
At thetiefling celebration, you will be able to propose a night together with Astarion.
He can, however, turn you down if your approval isnt high enough, so be careful.
The flipside to Laezel, Shadowheart appreciates a subtler approach.
Generally choosing ‘good’ options like helping people seems to gain her approval.
Siding with her in arguments against Laezel will also help.
We assume that this romance will then develop through the later acts of the game.
As evidenced by his original goal, Wyll hatesdevilsas well as goblins and the like.
Just reveal the truth to Wyll and he will be grateful.
This will also lead to a personal transformation for him - be supportive about it.
‘You also get quite a few opportunities to flirt, which he seems to appreciate.
looks like in the Early Access version of the game, Wyll was romanceable at the tiefling celebration.
However,this seems to have changed.
However, you’re able to roll aPersuasioncheck (with a difficulty of 15) for a kiss.
Karlach
Karlach is aTiefling Barbarianwho is very adventurous and energetic.
She can be found on theRisen Roadand recruited to your party.
Karlach can be approached and confessed to during thetiefling celebration.
However, because of her burning skin, she will be afraid of hurting you.
We presume this will happen as the game progresses.
However, he will be in your camp but not an official recruit for quite some time.
Minthara
Minthara is aDrowwho works with the goblins at the camp where Halsin is held.
Naturally, many of your party members will dislike this and some will leave entirely.
However, if you choose to follow this path, Minthara will hold a celebration of her own.
Good luck finding love in Baldurs Gate 3!
