Any good RPG comes with companions for the player to team up with and sometimes, you need more than just friendship with your favorite teammates.
And that’s where the concept of romance comes into video games, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is loaded with options.
There are a couple of different characters in the game that you can romance, regardless of what type of character that you create. Now, the question is – how do you romance companions in Baldur’s Gate 3? Let’s take a look at the answer.
How to Romance Companions in Baldur’s Gate 3
The first step in romancing your companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 is to raise their approval meter of you. Every companion has one, and you should try your best to keep it as high as possible.
Secondly, it’s worth noting that there are unique conversations at your camp with every companion. These need to be answered correctly – and getting the answers wrong can lock you out of romancing that companion for some time. To initiate these conversations, try to have your approval meter in the green zone.
After the game’s first act is completed, you will have another conversation with that companion if you manage to answer the first one correctly. If this second conversation goes well, then you will have the option to invite that NPC to your bed.
I know what you’re thinking now – can you romance multiple companions in Baldur’s Gate 3? Fortunately, the answer is yes. And there seem to be no negative occurrences for dating more than one companion at a time. Though it may not be that easy to do in general since you do have to focus on the NPC in order to win their approval and attraction to you.
Since your companions in the game often have different opinions to each other – trying to have everyone’s approval at all times may be a bad idea.
What companions can you romance in Baldur’s Gate 3?
Here are all the companions in the game that you can romance:
- Astarion
- Wyll
- Lae’zel
- Gale
- Shadowheart
- Jaheira
- Minsc
- Halsin
- Minthara
- Karlach
Not all of them function the same way, and Minthara in particular leaves you in the end too. However, the game makes it obvious what you need to do to win the hearts of all of them – so you won’t be lost.
Lastly, you can also romance the Emperor in Baldur’s Gate 3 – which happens in a dream sequence in Act 3 of the game. It’s very random, but you need to pick friendly options to get into his good books.
Since this game is rated for “Strong Sexual Content”, you can easily guess what the full extent of these encounters is going to be like. You can turn the nudity off if you don’t like it, but otherwise, you should prepare for a lot of sauciness when you invite someone to your bed in Baldur’s Gate 3.
That’s it for our guide on how to romance companions in Baldur’s Gate 3. We hope you found it useful and are on your way to earning the approval of your favorite NPCs.
