Your main objective in Baldur's Gate 3 is to survive and successfully complete the campaign with all of the limbs still intact. The first part of the game is your character who tries to escape the dreaded Mind Flayers who have a tadpole in your head. It will eventually eat your brain, take control of your body, and then turn you into one. In the midst of this madness, gamers are curious if the companions you choose along the way can potentially become lovers? Larian Studios senior writer Adam Smit and creative director Swen Vincke have confirmed this.
Smith and Vincke briefly touched on those details during the live broadcast of Panel from Hell with Summer Game Party, hosted by Geoff Keighley. A fan watching the YouTube feed raised a question about romance options.
Smith is straightforward about it, saying a resounding, “Yes, there will be. I don't want to tell you too much because we don't want to go into it too much. Romance is best discovered on your own. You don't want me to describe your romance to you and you want to experience it. But yes, romance is an integral part of the game. Camping can get a little hot sometimes. There is a bit of early access. "
There is no middle ground about this answer. Your character in Baldur's Gate 3 is lucky enough to find love, and that's what suits him best. Smith avoids defining what romance is in the game. Ambiguity likely means that there are multiple individuals and companions that your character can fall in love with, as long as the pieces fall into place. You probably need to choose the right path from the options for the available characters that you have in your party. This can include passing rolls during skill checks or even completing a particular quest for them.
Smith has confirmed that the romance is part of the early access experience for Baldur's Gate 3, which will be available on September 30. Considering the freedom of the game and the way you play your character, you might miss it if you don't make the decisions.
