Baldur’s Gate 3 players can’t figure out why Orin helps their dating life

Baldur’s Gate 3 players are trying to figure out what Orin’s plan was, and some parts of it just aren’t making sense.

It must have been hard being Orin throughout Baldur’s Gate 3. You’ve teamed up with some undead general obsessed with his daughter and a weird noble playing with tin soldiers, both of whom won’t let you kill whoever you want. They hate to see a girl-boss win.

Still, that doesn’t explain why Orin goes to so many lengths to help players with their romantic life. In Act 3, it’s possible for the circus druid to be replaced by Orin as part of her 4D chess murder plots.

But even if the druid does get replaced with Orin, they still go through with the love test that the player can take part in with their romance partner.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players don’t get Orin’s plan

One player couldn’t make any sense of why Orin would help a Tav’s love life, asking: “Why does Orin spend all that time and magic to help us?”

“If you don’t go through 2 Orin doppelgangers before going to the circus, the love druid will be replaced by Orin. And I get why, as a story for the player, her love test would still go through but it doesn’t make sense why Orin would do it.

“That’s a lot of time and energy to be like “muhahaha surprise! It’s me!” It’s not even like she directly threatens or tries to attack the companion.”

Other players theorized that like the rest of the terminally down-bad Baldur’s Gate 3 community, Orin just likes watching the party members romance each other.

“Orin’s two passions: Murder, and shipping Tav with their companions and squeeing when they have cute dialogue,” another player proposed.
