Which translates to some delightful character moments, which are available even in multiplayer. ![]() Not too long into Early Access, you will be having an adventure so specific to your character, that no other player is going to see the exact same content as you. As you play the game, and you begin to make choices in combat, exploration, and conversation, you’ll be presented with situations and scenarios that are unique to your playthrough. These differences will also be present in your relationship dialogues. For example, playing as a Drow Wizard will give you different dialogue options than playing as a Githyanki Warlock. In Baldur’s Gate 3, a 5e D&D game, creating a custom character will immerse you in the story just as much as playing as one of the Origin Characters. Larian is still creating their signature origin stories (pre-made characters with custom voice lines), but even custom created characters have their own dialogue options and fully voiced story experiences: Sarah Baylus, lead writer for Baldur’s Gate III, talked about how friendship and more might present itself: “relationships are not solely defined by the specific things you say to them in a one-on-one conversation.”Īnd at the end of the day, the most important character is “you.” Which brings us to talking about romance as it relates to custom characters and multiplayer. Opportunities to become more intimate with your party arise whenever you sit at camp and take a long rest–which you’ll want to do to regain those spell slots and other daily powers. They’ve got their own motivations and wants and needs, and depending on your actions, they might come to appreciate you better. The characters that you’ll come across are fully-fleshed out. ![]() People have been wondering how or if romance would show up in Baldur’s Gate 3, and now we have the answer–and a detailed one at that. So it’s fitting then, that the last update we’re likely to see before early access starts for the new Baldur’s Gate game, is all about romance and companionship in the game. And, as a quick aside, Baldur’s Gate 2 wasn’t the first video game to include romance, or even the first RPG–Harvest Moon has been carrying the romance/marriage torch since ’96–but it’s the first place that that kind of material blended in with a traditional dungeon crawl. Those of you who’ve played Dragon Age: Inquisition and fallen hard for the Iron Bull know how far romance has come since the days when you had to make the right few dialogue choices or risk seeing fleeting romance slip through your fingers. ![]() It became a signature part of BioWare’s style, to the point where people still wonder which NPCs are romanceable when a new game gets announced. And not just in the “you win them as a prize” but as characters who you can develop a growing relationship with, and depending on what you do and say, fall in love–or lust. Romance and Baldur’s Gate are tied together–it’s a bond that goes back to the glory days of Baldur’s Gate II, which is one of the first games you’d typically think of as “an RPG” to include romanceable companions. Baldur’s Gate 3 might be delayed, but the early access details are heating up with their latest look at love, sex, and friendship in Dungeons & Dragons…
