So, here’s everything you need to know about potentially having a polyamorous relationship in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Is it possible to romance multiple companions in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Yes, you can romance multiple companions in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, there are a few complications that you will run into while trying to get into multiple romantic relationships. Most characters in the game are not fond of multiple romantic partners.

This means they will get angry once you deepen the bond with someone, and the other characters will break apart from you.

Characters who support polyamory in Baldur’s Gate 3

Here are the BG3 characters that are willing to engage in a polyamorous relationship:

Halsin

Halsin is the top contender if you’re looking for a polyamorous relationship in BG3. From the get-go, Halsin seems quite open to having multiple romantic partners, particularly with Astarion. You can approach him about a romantic relationship in Act Two.

Minthara

Minthara is another character in Baldur’s Gate 3 who is open to having an open relationship, but some conditions must be met. Other characters, like Halsin, Wyll, and Karlach, don’t get along with Minthara and will immediately leave your party if they romance Minthara. Like Halsin, she’s available in Act Two as a romantic partner.

Shadowheart and Astarion

Shadowheart and Astarion are willing to engage in an open relationship, but not with one another. This means you can choose one of them and one from Minthara or Halsin if you want to romance multiple people in Baldur’s Gate 3.

The best combinations for romancing multiple characters in BG3 are:

• Shadowheart + Halsin
• Astarion + Halsin

Additionally, you can romance the Drow Twins: Sorn and Nym Orlith whom you meet during Act 3 of the game.

Characters who don’t support polyamory in Baldur’s Gate 3

Certain characters may not be open to a polyamorous relationship owing to their own reasons and character constraints. Here’s who they are:

Gale

Gale is strictly against polyamorous relationships and will express his commitment to monogamy as you initiate romance with Gale.

Wyll

Similar to Gale, Wyll has no interest in polyamorous relationships and prefers a monogamous relationship.

Karlach

Initially, Karlach is open to a polyamorous relationship, especially with Shadowheart. However, as her character progresses past Act One, her ideals change as she starts favoring a monogamous relationship.

Lae’Zel

As a Githyanki warrior, Lae’Zel lives on the edge as she likes bloodshed, violence and decisions that require intimidation. However, she prefers to be strictly exclusive when it comes to relationships. That being said, romancing Lae’Zel might prove to be detrimental to Kalrach.
