Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Wyll's romance (and how to hack dating) - contains spoilers

(Skip the first two paragraphs if you want to ignore my backstory)

A while ago I was playing my so far only playthrough of BG3 with Myrna Brandybuck, the introverted halfling bard. During act 2 it became clear that she and Wyll were meant for each other, they danced together, but in the end I decided to play up her shyness and have her turn away from a kiss, thinking that there would be another chance in act 3; but of course there wasn't. After finishing the game I went back to before he'd tried to dance with her, but the scene never triggered again: it was a bug that had been patched, because I hadn't sought him out at the tiefling party. To be honest, the original behaviour suited this character much more because they barely knew each other back then, and she would definitely not have sought him out; but I know it doesn't suit other characters.

Anyway, a few days ago I figured out - with the help of some tutorials and experimentation - how to hack my save to trigger Wyll's dance scene and allow him to kiss her (well, the option said to invite him closer, but Myrna was definitely the one reaching up...). The thing is, I don't really want to replay the whole of act 3 as the same character to complete the story, both because I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 now, and when I come back to BG3 I want to play a different character. Pics because, eh... why not?
What are the important things I should repeat in act 3 with Tav dating Wyll? I understand there's not a great deal in Wyll's romance, but I was wondering about when he talked about having dinner after defeating Ansur, and maybe when we rescued his dad. I figure I'll make the same database changes to the saves just before those events happen, and finish off Myrna's story properly.

Except that BG3SE has been changed so you now have to press CTRL+F12 to bring up the console instead of editing the configuration files. This is not really documented anywhere, I searched until I found a discussion that mentioned it.

It also made me imagine if you could just enter any two NPCs' UUIDs into DB_ORI_Dating and make them start dating (I am a software engineer and know exactly how well that would work, before anyone tries to explain it. Emergent behaviour isn't that good!)

My first character romanced Wyll and I remember being disappointed at the lack of recognition of the romance during Wyll’s personal quests. Though this was a year ago so my memory might be faulty and also things may have changed. The only things I can recall specifically are the dryad at the circus and the Wyll act 3 romance scene (my character then became an illithid so I’m not sure how other elements of the finale or epilogue would have played out).

But I think some changes to Wyll are expected for patch 7 so you may also want to hold off for that if you’re not in the closed beta.

Fair enough, I'm happy to wait - as I said, got other games to play for now.

When I was trying to get them dating in act 3 I took him to the Dryad and convinced him we were soulmates, but he still wandered off. That would have been a perfect place to add a "Wait, does this mean you like me?" option to anyone who'd turned down the companions in the past

What a good idea! That would have been great.

I really hope, he gets more stuff with pacth 7. Wyll is sadly underdeveloped and I really like him.
