Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Lae'zel Act 3 romance - SPOILER

Hello everyone

Just some thoughts around the continuity with Lae'zel and ideas for Act 3 romance.

Early in Act 3 the romance scene has staying with Lae'zel the "stay with me always conversation" and how that then links with the options at end game where you can either:

Join Orpheus and Lae'zel and travel back to the Astral,
Stay in Faerun and encourage Lae'zel to go back to the Astral, or
Ask Lae'zel to remain behind in Faerun.

Considering how passionate Lae'zel was in the earlier scene in Act 3 for you to stay with her, the option of letting her go seems a little lacking without an emotional farewell, similar lets say to Frodo leaving for the White Shores in LoTR's Return of the King.

Also, with the option to travel back to the Astral plane, I was totally expecting a cut scene of that teleport to the Astral and the scene just abruptly cuts. This might also benefit from an extension. Perhaps arriving through a portal in the Astral with a battle raging in the distance, then a close up of the two on the dragon looking at each other with grim determination and the expectation of another massive battle ahead.

Othwerwise, there is a continuity issue with the Orpheus / Lae'zel placement. One scene prior to mounting up on the Red dragon the order from left to right goes player main, Lae'zel then Orpheus, then the next scene with Orpheus moving to mount up, the order is player main, Orpheus then Lae'zel. Essentially Orpheus and Lae'zel magically switch places inbetween camera re-positioning.

and finally, on the pier after talking with Gale, the main character head is doing a wierd "Jacobs Ladder" head switch left to right. Funny to watch but yeah disturbing aswell. I doubt that is WAI.

Thanks and peace.
