Hi guys,
I'm coming here for help before all this get me mad. I try to understand how personnal conversations are triggered with each companion. For all I can tell, either it's totally bugued, or these algorithms were written by the most complicated disturbed mind I've ever met (my guess : both.). I played this EA maybe a dozen times and I have seen Shadowheart trying to open the mysterious box only once, Gale tell me about his story only once, Astarion talk about what he will do when free from the tadpole only once, Wyll tell me about Mizora only on 3 or 4 of my runs (let's say one run on two)... I think you can catch the picture!
So, I decided to make an exhaustive amount of try and carefully report every conversation I am able to trigger and the state of my relationship and story progession for each case. If you have any knowledge that can help me, or just want to do some tests of your own and report them here, you are more than welcome!

This is my test form :

Subject: (ex: Reveal Shar worshipping)
Approval rate: (ex: AVERAGE)

Localization : (location name or best : a link on interactive map like https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=57660)
Number of long rest taken : (ex: 3)
Event requiring companion to be in party : (ex: find Shar helmet in abandoned village)
Additional conditions : (ex : success a persuasion test)
Have this companion been dismissed ? (a YES/NO answer)
Story items in companion inventory : (ex: [Mysterious box])

Localization : the abandoned village, near the mill where the underdark gnome is kept captive
Number of long rest taken : 5
Event requiring companion to be in party : That part is pretty bugued. You must have Wyll with you for the fight BUUUUUT! He must be hidden when engaging the fight. If not you will not have the scene where Wyll question the goblin leader about Spike if you keep him alive. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT !!! If you keep Wyll hidden when engaging the fight you will not have the scene when he ask you to keep him alive. So, if you want to have the full scene you have to :
1) save your party.
2) engage the fight normally with Wyll at your side that will trigger the encounter scene when he ask you to keep the goblin leader alive
3) reload your save
4) Hide Wyll before getting closer
5) Because Wyll is in your team (even hidden) the fight will be triggered with no conversation at all
6) engage the fight with Wyll hidden
7) use wyll during the fight (you don't need to keep him hidden all along)
8) resolve the fight without killing the goblin leader (knocking him down or let him surrender when his hp growth low, I don't remember well)
9) Allow Wyll to ask his questions. (If you kill the goblin leader I think you can question his corpse with the "talk-to-dead" spell but never tried)
10) Thank Larian for all these impressive work
Additional conditions : Keep the leader alive or (maybe) have the "talk-to-dead" spell

This is still a work in progress thing. I don't have trigger everything, my memory is not perfect, all tests were not Patch 4 tests.... I will keep this up to date, improving details, correcting mistakes throughout my runs. Don't hesitate to share your own experience or bring correction, annotation or comment mine ! Thank you for reading me in any case smile

Following, and I agree some things appear out of order and/or are VERY glitchy.

I romanced Astarion on my first playthrough, no problems. I tried to romance Gale on my second playthrough, and couldn't for the life of me trigger the Weave scene because his approval jumped too high too quickly. I made sure to Long Rest a lot while he was at Med/High approval and it STILL didn't work. frown Eventually gave up because it got too annoying loading up saved games over and over and experimenting just to try to get his scene.
I don't understand how Gale is the most-romanced companion according to Larian's data, if his very important Weave scene is so difficult to trigger!

I certainly hope this gets fixed and the companion scenes queue up properly after next patch...

What an interesting post!

I have also noticed that the triggers are... Inconsistent, at best. I do hope to see Larian address this in one way or another - hopefully already in next patch!

Some notes: my party tends to be Lae’zel, Wyll, and Astarion. I rarely swap them out.
I’ve kept this post only to camp scenes, but another day I can list the encounters that cause a “Reaction” from a companion in the field.

Companion: Lae'zel (!), Shadowheart, Gale, Astarion
Subject: Initial Camp Night 1; Cutscene of finding camp location in beginning. You will get shorter or more aloof dialogue with Lae’zel or Astarion if you talk to them last or 2nd to last. Gale is always introspecting no matter what order you talk to him in.
Approval level: Neutral
Story progression: encountered some companions; prior to reaching the Grove
Localization: (Wilderness) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=53268
Number of long rest taken: 0
------------------------------------------------------------
Companion: None; Tav
Subject: Solo Initial Camp Night 1; Same as above except that if you have not recruited anyone yet, you get an introspective scene with Tav instead.
Story progression: encountered some companions; prior to reaching the Grove
Localization: (Wilderness) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=53268
Number of long rest taken: 0
------------------------------------------------------------
Companion: Lae'zel *, Shadowheart, Gale *, Astarion
Subject: Camp Night 2 (Ceremorphosis) A scene with Gale (mirror image) will play immediately if he is in the party. If he is not, a scene with Lae'zel (inspection) will play immediately if she is in the party. Lae's scene is completely glitched at the moment as of Patch 4, but was present in Patch 3. Afterward, the other companions have something to say about not transforming yet.
Approval level: Neutral
Story progression: encountered some companions; prior to reaching the Grove; sometimes completed crypt
Localization: (Wilderness) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=53317
Number of long rest taken: 1
Additional conditions : from what I can tell, this scene or a similar one will not play without either Gale or Lae’zel recruited

I tend not to have any problems with the first 2 camp scenes, but I always do them before reaching the Grove. The rest of the camp scenes do not trigger at the same times across all of my playthroughs. Some culprits:
  • Zoning – sometimes triggering dialogue seems to only require traveling to a new area where the name pops up on the screen
  • Camp Queue – Currently it feels like scenes that are set to occur after an event will push scenes down the queue so to speak, and require additional camp nights. If two scenes are set to trigger after the same event, one will be overridden.
  • Clearing the Queue – Because of the inconsistency of the triggers or just because you can run through so much of the game while resting very few times, you may need to camp repeatedly to “clear the queue” to get a scene to occur or ensure that it is not overridden.


=============================================================================
Companion: Wyll

Subject: Moves Like That
Approval rate: Neutral
Story progression: encountered all companions; entered grove, encountered Zorru, encountered Sazza, encountered Kagha, defeated Harpies
Localization: (Harpy's Nest) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=54797
Number of long rest taken: 7 (probably triggered by a “zone” change)
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Talking to "Himself"
Approval rate: Neutral
Story progression: encountered all companions; entered grove, encountered Zorru, encountered Sazza, encountered Kagha, defeated Harpies
Localization: (Grove) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=53969 ; wandering back into grove from harpies to clear the queue
Number of long rest taken: 8 (probably triggered by a “zone” change)
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Dragon’s Breath Brandy
Story progression: This scene occurred for me after the party when it’s clearly intended to occur after the Windmill. May be a scene that pushes other scenes down the queue. I camped not very often in that particular run.
Localization: (zone anywhere)
Number of long rest taken: 7 (requires story progression)
Event requiring companion to be in party : have Wyll in the party while encountering Fezzerk at the Windmill in the Blighted village; in my game, I brought Fezzerk down to low hp to which he surrendered and triggered a conversation. This encounter is still bugged.
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Wyll, Spike, & Mizora
Story progression: Deal with Spike.
Localization: (Goblin Camp) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=59655
Number of long rest taken: 8 (requires story progression)
Event requiring companion to be in party : have Wyll in the party while encountering Spike
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Possible Field Dialogue - Defeated all Goblin Leaders
Story progression: defeat goblin leaders; wyll says this unprompted when you talk to him at camp
Number of long rest taken: 9


=============================================================================
Companion: Astarion

Subject: Camp Night 3 (Star Gazing)
Approval level: Neutral
Story progression: encountered some companions; entered grove, encountered Zorru (learning location of gith patrol; used tadpole)
Localization: (Grove) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=57644
Number of long rest taken: 2


=============================================================================
Companion: Lae'zel

Subject: Camp Night 3 (Tire of Faerun)
Approval level: Neutral
Story progression: encountered some companions; entered grove, encountered Zorru (learning location of gith patrol; used tadpole)
Localization: (Grove) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=57644
Number of long rest taken: 2
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Field Dialogue (Creche Certainty) - this conversation occurs after learning of nettie or halsin; can be held in the field, but will also play at camp if that is the next time you talk to her
Approval level: Neutral
Story progression: encountered some companions; entered grove, encountered Zorru (learning location of gith patrol; used tadpole), encountered Wyll (used tadpole)
Localization: (Grove) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=53969
Number of long rest taken: 3
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: (Softer) Camp Night 3 (Moonlight) - same as the prior Camp 3 scene, but with softer initial and final dialogue; This may be the dialogue you get if you talk to her first in Camp 3, but seems bugged.
In a run with her as the only companion, this specific dialogue occurred without issue instead of the other. Seems glitched and occurred 3 camps after the same scene in this multi-companion run. May be a scene that pushes other scenes down the queue.
Approval level: Neutral
Story progression: encountered all companions; entered grove, encountered Zorru (learning location of gith patrol, encountered Sazza, encountered Kagha
Localization: (Emerald Grove) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=57590
Number of long rest taken: 5 (camp 4 and 5 did not have any camp scenes aside from Lae’zel’s field dialogue in camp 4; may have been provoked by a change in “zone” (camping in inner sanctum))
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Field Dialogue (Yet to Find Zorru)
Story progression: ??? (during goblin camp after spike)
I’ve seen players mention that at certain points, Lae’zel will act like she had never been recruited and will disappear from camp only to be found outside of camp. Possibly having to do with dismissing her. This may be related to this bugged dialogue where she acts like we haven’t made the grown man get on his knees years ago.
Number of long rest taken: 6
Have this companion been dismissed ? No. LaeBae never dismissed.
------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: After Gith Patrol Rage
Approval rate: Medium/High (persuade resolution)
Number of long rest taken: 12
Event requiring companion to be in party : Gith Patrol
Additional conditions : Only requirement is for the queue to be clear. Does not matter what approval you are at or how you resolve it. This scene only occurs the camp immediately following the encounter. If this is the only lead pursued, Raphael’s scene will override this. I also had Wyll’s glitched Windmill/Brandy scene override it. How dare.


=============================================================================
Companion: Shadowheart
Subject: The Voices
Approval rate: –
Story progression: Meet Shadowheart at the Grove and fail or refuse to recruit her. This scene will trigger the 2nd camp night after meeting her at the grove.
Number of long rest taken: 7 (requires story progression; pushes other scenes down the queue)


=============================================================================
Companion: Gale

Subject: Deer Stew/Trust
Approval rate: Medium?
Story progression: usually requires doing some heroic deeds, but this triggered for me in a run at camp 11, which was after the party and immediately after doing the crypt; in his dialogue he only mentioned the Sazza situation; required "clearing the queue" to get
Number of long rest taken: 10 (if you specifically focus on Gale approval, you can get this scene as early as Camp 3)


=============================================================================
Multiple Companions

Companion: Lae’zel, Shadowheart, Gale (!), Astarion, Wyll
Subject: Raphael/Devil Deal
Approval rate: –
Story progression: Pursue a lead on the tadpole. This scene can occur as early as Nettie or as late as the Gith Patrol. You can trigger this after Priestess Gut and the Hag as well. May be a scene that pushes other scenes down the queue or overrides them entirely.
Localization: (Emerald Grove) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=57592
Number of long rest taken: 6 (requires story progression; this scene will override any other scene that would normally play immediately after an event)
------------------------------------------------------------
Companion: [Dream Person]
Subject: (where are you whisper)
Approval rate: –
Story progression: use tadpole on Lae’zel, use tadpole on Wyll
Localization: (Emerald Grove) https://mapgenie.io/baldurs-gate-3/maps/wilderness?locationIds=57590

Subject: 1st Tadpole Dream – I call it the “Fever Dream”. The party seems to be showing symptoms of ceremorphosis. If Lae’zel is in the party, she will need to be reasoned with. After sleeping, you will have a dream with the Dream Person.
After waking, you have a full conversation with only one of your companions. Everyone else you talk to afterward will speak to you, but you cannot gives responses to them. The second person you talk to will have a bit more to say than if you talked to them 3rd, 4th, or last. Pick your favorites and Pick your number 1.
Story progression: used tadpole twice (on Lae and Wyll), had the “where are you” whisper during a camp scene, used tadpole two more times (on True Souls and Goblin Guard in Blighted Village)

Have the same sad story with dialogue triggers. I only manage to get the "stars" scene on the third night, before Raphael, recruiting Wyll, talking to Nettie and Ethel. Have no idea what really influences the trigger other than meeting with Zorry. Because when i did all the listed above before meeting with Zorry, and then met with him, the dialogue didn't trigger at all. To get the Weave scene I had to get A LOT OF long rests before entering the Druid Grove, other way it never triggered also.


I am not native English speaker, so if you feel pain reading my posts, blame Babylon.
Lots of love <3

Hi guys!

4 more runs later, I have some improvements to share!
Many thanks to @AvatarOfSHODAN, your Zoning and Clearing the Queue tips help me a lot. I successfully trigger new scenes and was able to trigger them again at each new run. The only one I was'nt able to trigger again is the Shadowheart's "be catched trying to open the box" scene.
I don't know if I can edit my first post (I only see "reply" and "quote" options) but anyway, here's my new version of my tests results :

Great list.

About Shadowheart playing with the box: I've managed to trigger it in every one of my playthroughs (so like 4 full playthroughs), but it always comes very late. My typical route is to clear the Underdark before killing off Ethel. I've never gotten the scene before completing some or all of the Underdark. Perhaps it's been moved from patch 3 so that it comes later (and thus foreshadows a certain spoilery scene)?

I must admit that I fail to see any reason for doing such a list.


When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.

Some people have had difficulty triggering certain scenes that they want to have, so having this kind of list gives insight into what events were involved in triggering them and which events possibly overrided the desired event. I've had to use guides to trigger certain scenes, which is frustrating. :\

The companion conversation triggers seem pretty odd at times. It's good to share what the triggers are - especially if some of us are replaying the game a million times anyway. Might as well share.
