Baldur’s Gate 3 romance is “too overt,” former Dragon Age writer says

  • Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider says Baldur's Gate 3's romance is "too overt" compared to his past work.

  • Gaider says BG3 romance feels like his early work on Dragon Age when he was just starting out writing romances.

  • BG3 doesn't leave much to imagination regarding sex and romance - you can romance multiple characters easily.

  • Gaider wishes BG3 romance was slower and less "skin deep" like Dragon Age Origins romances.

  • Larian has confirmed they will slow down how eager some NPCs are to romance post-launch.
