All Romance Options in Baldur's Gate 3

Understanding BG3 Romances:

Crucially, romance options are available regardless of your character's gender. The game features both long-term committed relationships and shorter, more fleeting encounters. The progression and outcome heavily depend on the specific character and your choices. Multiple romances are possible, but some choices may lock you out of others. Companion romances significantly alter your experience with them.

Long-Term Romance Options:

The following companions offer long-term romance options:

• Shadowheart: A cleric with a complex past. Early approval is key. Maintain her approval, avoid conflicting romances, and complete her questline. Specific dialogue choices during key moments are crucial.

  

• Gale: A charming wizard with a dangerous secret. Help him, support his choices, and read "The Annals of Karsus" before a long rest in Act III to trigger the final scene. He is not open to polyamory.

  

• Astarion: A witty and charming vampire spawn. Choose self-serving options, allow him to bite you, and complete his questline. He's more open to other relationships compared to other companions.

  

• Karlach: A fiery and passionate tiefling. Support her, help her fix her infernal engine, and be mindful of her feelings about other relationships. Her approval is sensitive to your actions.

  

• Wyll: A pact-bound warlock grappling with his past. Act heroically, support him in his struggles, and complete his questline.

  

• Lae'zel: A fierce githyanki warrior. Embrace action and decisiveness. Avoid conflicting romances; her loyalty is easily broken.

  

• Halsin: A wise druid. Rescue him, complete his questline, and demonstrate kindness and respect for nature.

  

• Minthara: A ruthless and seductive goblin. Side with her, betray the Emerald Grove, and fully commit to her path. This choice drastically alters the game's narrative.

  

Short-Term Romance Options:

These characters offer one-time romantic encounters:

• Mizora: Requires Wyll in your party and avoiding Minthara's path. A specific encounter in Act III triggers the romance.

• The Guardian/Emperor: Protect them in Act II/III and make specific choices during encounters.

• The Drow Twins: Found in Sharess' Caress in Act III. Requires either completing a quest or paying for their services.

• Haarlep: An incubus found in Raphael's House of Hope. A humorous encounter with potential consequences if in another relationship.

• Naoise Nallinto: Found in Sharess' Caress in Act III. Requires accessing a locked chamber.
