If you found the companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 to be a little too horny, well, it turns out that was due to a bug.
Relationships are a big part of the game’s appeal, but there’s no denying that companions come on a little too strong right from the off.
Speaking to TheGamer, game director Swen Vincke admitted that romances were bugged at the game’s launch and have since been tweaked.
I had a convo with gale at the celebration post goblin camp and he was all about inviting me to see some magic trick and I was like cool, sure why not
then I speak to asterion and he’s like “so your’e gonna fuck gale huh? Good on ya man”
I was like, what?
the romance in this game is definitely forced and overly aggressive
“hi lae’zel we just met --”
“i want your moisture”
ohhhhkay
Bae’zel fucking me after I slaughtered the whole goblin camp was totally ok for her character.
Yeah I just had a scene where wyll asked me to dance and I was ready to dunk on him with my skillz but instead they danced and make out and the game didn’t even ask me if I wanted to
This is the classic mass effect dialogue option meme where you pick a mellow option and then the MC lashes out.
A: “No.” B: “that’s a great idea”
You pick a. Then: “Why would you ever suggest that idea, that’s horrible, I want you out of my group!”
Ugh, I hate bad PC writing. It’s bad enough when it’s “I agree 100%,” “I agree 100% and wanna s your d,” and “You’re the stupidest, ugliest, evilest piece of absolute crap I have ever seen in my life and I’d kill you myself if it wouldn’t get your blood in the carpet” but then some games just insist on somehow making it non-obvious which is which >:|
One of my favorite youtube channels did a riff on this
You might have missed a lot of signals over the years if you didn’t grok that his hips weren’t lying.
there goes my shot with the lizardwoman
Funny, because the only character I’m trying to bone doesn’t have any romantic dialogue, despite max approval.
C’mon Karlach, do something!
I need more bugs…
I am pretty sure gale is still bugged. You can gain approval from him several times in a single conversation and he isn’t even present for it. Everyone else has to be in your party in order to gain approval but gale apparently sees all.
It’s almost a funny character trait that he is a horny dude. In one conversation you talk about him needing friends and if you say that you can be his friend he immediately hits on you. Buddy, if you didn’t hit on everyone all the time then maybe you had more friends.

Haynow, some critters respond well to that!
God I wish I loved this game as much as I love the headlines it makes, but my max CHA archfey warlock failing every other persuasion roll just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Have you tried having better luck?
Yes, but on the way I tripped over a black cat and fell under a ladder onto a mirror, which then broke.
Disable karmic dice and save scum before you roll.
they’ve been tweaked? I started playing last week and I still feel like everyone is desperate for what’s in my pants
Maybe you just know how to charm people?
Yeah, me too.
Aaaw, but I liked getting jumped by everybody immediately. Made those charisma points feel earned.
