One Baldur’s Gate 3 player says their experience playing the game was “ruined” once they decided to romance Lae’zel.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a Dungeons and Dragons-style RPG that gives the player near-infinite possibilities to tell their character’s story. From romantic Bards to stone-cold Tieflings, there is a path for everyone to explore.
The 2023 Game of the Year winner continues to impress fans with its rich storyline. Most of these get shared on the official Baldur’s Gate 3 Reddit page. It’s the perfect way to share the ups and downs of the story and get insight from others within the community.
One user made a post to Reddit sharing their experience with Lae’zel and how romancing her has changed the way they see the game forever.
Baldur’s Gate player calls other romance options ‘boring’
The thread’s poster explained that they chose Lae’zel as their romantic companion during their first playthrough – although, like many other players, they initially had their eyes on Shadowhart.
“I just can’t bring myself to romance other characters,” said the poster. “Furthermore, all of them – Shadowhart, Karlach, Minthara, even Mizora – now seem to be sort of bleak, boring, unattractive, and uninteresting. I don’t care if they die or if they approve/disapprove of my actions. Only Bae’zel matters.”
The user said they felt they were missing out on different gameplay factors because they had narrowed their options to surround just one character. However, other players had some encouraging words for the poster.
“Played BG2 for 15+ years,” said one user. “Never romanced anyone other than Viconia. You’ll be fine.”
Others agreed with this sentiment, saying that the fear of missing out does not make or break the gameplay. However, other romance options will open new avenues and cutscenes as you travel to Baldur’s Gate.
