That's amazing. I'd probably feel the same if I hadn't met one Lae'zel and two Shadowhearts in real life - and it never ended well.

When it comes to the "I know" line, the nuance for me is in the tone of voice and facial expression that makes me interpret it as teasing rather than "get lost". Clearly it didn't for you, so that is unfortunate then in that case.

Yeah, I had a feeling that a topic on men-women relations could be an important factor in how you view the male characters compared to the female characters in BG3, which is why I asked out of curiosity. Totally fair to keep that to yourself, that would go way beyond the scope of your original thread topic as well I feel.

Glad to hear! At the end of the day, games are all about finding ways to enjoy them. Given that you've gone through multiple playthroughs going by you mentioning trying different romance paths, that's probably hundreds of hours of gaming for a single purchase, not bad!

There has to be something after "I know" otherwise it just sounds like "get lost".

Nah sorry, you misunderstood and have primed yourself to assume the worst. It was a joke as Taril said, as in she doesnt want to make it too serious and cheesy even though she likes the compliment, it breaks through awkwardness. Or you can see it as teasing and being playful, which is appropriate in flirting stage of relationship.

It's similar to this from Star Wars:


Also modding - this is just you making up your own headcanon to cope rather than truly engaging with the material. You should be more secure dealing with female characters and be playful back at them. Such modding is a lie.
