He's just too all over the place and disappointing for a priority romance playthrough. Especially so when my desire to play BG3 lessens the further I get into it and the more I think on everything.

This is the first I've heard that you can romance the Guardian. (I've never made it past the Underdark because I have severe altitis.) Is it a true romance or a truncated one? (Or a terrible one like Halsin?)

I'll let you know when I find out!

I actually don't know too much about their romance, other than it is possible - or at least, it's possible to express interest and to have some physical intimacy with them if you choose the proper dialogue. I haven't quite heard a huge uproar about the romantic aspect for them, so take from that as you will; may be that it isn't nearly as bad as some stuff like SH, Halsin, etc... or may be that people just don't care enough to talk about or pursue it.

At this rate, though, I think anything is better than Halsin's "romance".

Only if you like to get spoiled about his (Guardian) romance (with end spoilers):

You can either romance the Emperor in his true form or in Guardian form but I think his true form is better. It is rather tender and cute and there is additional dialog and better reaction of your character after waking up compared to have him in Guardian form.

After that you can mention it later to Raphael but not talk with your companions about it. And there is no break up with an existing other LI.

You can stay together, but only if your character becomes a mind flayer and you have to select dialog about your future that you want to stay in the city and then he will offer rebuilding the knights with him.

If you play solo without companions he will if you are not transformed tell you that he will miss you and that you have become important to him. But he will leave (also not stay far away, there is cut content of the epilogue where he would stay behind in the bushes to observe your character and reunited companions 6 months later). You don't get this talk if you have companions with you - I don't know why. I submited feedback for that too.

I still like the romance a lot even without turning. But it is not for everybodys taste.
