Romance: Difference between revisions

Some relationships can find their peak in sexual scenes, while others will follow different paths. Characters can show interest in the player character regardless of race and gender. More significant relationships will occur only with [[Companion]]s. Romance is available in multiplayer, but player charcters will not be able to start a romance with each other. All of romances are available to any [[Custom]] and [[Origin]] player characters and some Origin PCs have unique dialogue options during romance.

It is possible to be in a relationship with everyone of the Origin companions, as well as with [[#Halsin|Halsin]] and [[#Minthara|Minthara]]. Other characters will not consent to being in a polyamorous relationship, and further, the player character cannot be in a polyamorous relationship that includes multiple Origin characters. Companions will not initiate any polyamory on their own with other characters.

[[File:Astarion Portrait.png|80px|left]]

After flirting with Astarion, he will suggest sleeping together during a long rest in any area in [[Act One]], which will initiate his romance. This will also occur during the tiefling or goblin celebration; if the player character has high enough approval, Astarion will be receptive to the player character asking to have a "night of passion" with him, otherwise he will only join the player character if they persuade him to "say 'please'".{{verify}}

[[File:Gale Portrait.png|80px|left]]

As early as Act One (if the player character has '''Medium''' approval), the player character can trigger a scene with Gale where he talks to the player character about Mystra. During the scene, Gale will offer to share with the player character being under the weave, and if the player character successfully passes all the checks, they may envision holding hands or kissing Gale for approval points.

[[File:Halsin Portrait.png|80px|left]]

Halsin's first scene may occur during [[Act Three]]. If the player character has high enough approval, and has successfully completed [[Lift the Shadow Curse]] before embarking on the Road to Baldur's Gate, Halsin will express his desires before going to bed during a long rest.

[[File:Karlach Portrait.png|80px|left]]

Karlach's first scene can occur during Act One. If the player character has medium approval{{Verify}} they can drum up the courage to tell her how much they like her. This will lead to Karlach meeting them after everybody else is asleep. As Karlach's infernal engine is still too hot during Act One, the player character will not be able to touch her. They can convince her, however, to kiss them - which they can either end sooner, or embrace the moment, only to burn their lips.

[[File:Laezel Portrait.png|80px|left]]

Lae'zel's first scene can occur during Act One. She finds the player character's martial prowess endearing, and will offer a night of debaucherous pleasure. Depending on conversation choices, the engagement may continue into future acts, with more dialogues and scenes.

=== Minthara ===  

[[File:Minthara Portrait.png|80px|left]]

Minthara's first scene can occur during Act One. If the player character sided with her and the goblins, during the celebratory party Minthara will offer the player a night of pleasure. Otherwise, Minthara's romance can begin in Act Two, if she survived and is recruited after reaching [[Moonrise Towers]].

[[File:Shadowheart Portrait.png|80px|left]]

Shadowheart's romance can begin during Act One. If the player character has at least medium approval, she will propose a drink in private during a long rest or during the celebratory party after saving the tieflings (but not the goblins). The player character and Shadowheart will drink wine, have a deep conversation, and can choose to kiss at the end of the night, away from camp.

 

[[File:Wyll Portrait.png|80px|left]]

Wyll's romance can begin in Act One, during the celebratory party after saving the tieflings (but not the goblins), if he has at least medium approval. Wyll and the player character can share a kiss.
