Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Why does no one react to other romances

I fel that some romances are treated worse thhan others. For example i have noticed:

a) Other companions react seing you with Astarion at the camp party in act 1.
b) Other companions react to you kissing Halsin.

c) But no one reacts to you and Gale for example. It feels like the relationship doesn't exist to other companions.

Otherwise you only get a jealousy drama reaction if you get into a love triangle in act 2. But no one reacts if you only choose them. Where is the happiness about a faithful partner?

But no, instead of that i see companions, despite a reltaionship still flirting with each other pparty banters even if you romanmce them and that feels awkward.

At the end of act 3 they just go silent even...

I find that is overdoing fan fiction in an unfair way. I would wish that companions would react to every relationship.

I wish we could have an option to invite our partners to rest with us and get our owm tent or rooms.

I mean, Tav is a main character and we risk our lives to help the companions. We help them through their problems and this is what we get? Come on, Larian. You can do better than that. Our Tavs deserve a bit respect to our relationships and more attention.

Everyone in Act 3 practically goes silent, most romances drop off the face of the planet.

As far as I am aware there is dialogue between companions for all romances (there are some vids on YouTube which have much of all the voice lines available in party banter) but it could be potentially bugged much like a lot of other stuff. I am not sure about cutscene specific stuff, though.

However, it has indeed been proven that some companions have a lot more content to do with their romances than others, and you only need to look at the disparity of how Minthara or Halsin has been treated compared with,say, Astarion or Shadowheart. And I don’t care for the origin excuse at all because Wyll has been equally shafted.

Astarion also reacts to Lae'zel's romance in act 1, like the first time you Sleep with Lae'zel, Astarion says something along the lines of expecting it to be like 2 flopping fishes that or it might've just been a Gith thing, since only my Gith romanced Lae'zel.
