Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback The party ... romance and Spoilers

Please don't read this if you haven't gotten to the camp party.


So I hope that Larian will inject more finesse into the dialogue and our companions. While it was flattering that everyone at camp now wanted to bang me, it also comes out of no where. No one showed any interest in me previously, but now all of of a sudden everyone wants to get into my pants? I would like more conversations, more flirting to occur before this point. If I or they have shown an interest previously (that wasn't shot down), then this camp dialogue would make more sense, but as is, damn near everyone dIdn't really care for me or have even insulted how I looked. It doesn't make sense that their opinion goes from that to, "Hey, let's get it on tonight!"

Additionally, I'd like everyone to not be a creeper and automatically know who I've decided to spend the night with, and then judge me for it.

larian did pretty well in the relationship progressions in previous games so I am assuming they'll have something in mind for this game as well. I turned down the Vampyre and went to bed alone but I reloaded this scene several times to see outcomes approaching different party members first and not everyone wants to bang you if you don't talk to Asterion first. You get very different responses depending on who you talk to first.

Interesting. I didn't reload for all of them, but I did talk to Astarion first, then Shadowheart first and in both situations all of the party members had a comment to make. Then there was Lae'zel, who I had basically stationed at camp since my PC is a fighter and never talked to her, was grumbly that she didn't get to bang me.

I disagree. In DOSII it was actually just dialogue once in a while. At the moment in BGIII, the dialogue options and their frequency in the camp are low. Even in Dragon Age Origins, there were many more at the beginning of the game. I hope they will deliver well written relationships rich in dialogues and other activities.

I like what I've seen so far. It promises to have a lot of relationship development, and I appreciate that "we banged" not being the relationship highpoint - which it is in many video games. I was a little confused why everyone got jealous after my character accepted Astarian's offer - more confused when in the middle of the not completed love scene I got a "Shadowheart disapproves" like she was lurking in the bushes

The one that had me laughing was that if I chose to propose sex with Astarian he turned me down flat, but when I was all innocent he approached my character. I actually loved that!

Yeah, that should not be a thing. And if they keep it in then I'mma need a followup conversation where you can call Shadowheart out for being a creeper. Get your voyeur kicks somewhere else lady!
