Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Karlach vs Shadowheart who do you simp for :)

Back in BG2 I did the Aerie romance. That ticked all the boxes under the Sun; rapport, flirt, love triangle, first fight, romance, deferred sex, she became a monster, have to kill, rescue beyond death, sex, decide to stay mortal together or ascend to demigod, then a baby! Only missing a wedding.

Later on I did BG2 SoD and a romance with a captain. By comparison it was sparse.

BG3 romances seem to be an enhanced version of Aerie one, seemingly with more on and off ramps. I appreciate that.

I’m hoping Karlach has a romance option, I like her demeanor, face, voice and hair. Oh, and she a complementary twohander warrior.

Given some more thought, the reason I like romance in BG games is that it adds a game within the game where I have to consider another dimension in my party make up.

I recall relationship music coming on in BG2 a welcome change to fighting trolls or inventory management.
