Baldur's Gate 3 Romances Offer Nuance, Intrigue, and player agency

Astarion and Shadowheart have the most compelling romance arcs that tie closely to the main story. Their romances have nuance and change based on player choices.

Karlach and Lae'zel have rich personal stories that intertwine with their romances. Players get the chance to support them through difficult situations.

Gale and Wyll have more traditional romances focused on their backgrounds and ideals. Both propose marriage to the player character.

Halsin represents an underrepresented form of romance - ethical non-monogamy. However, his content is limited.

Minthara, Mizora, and The Emperor have unconventional romances with severe consequences. These are likely only suited for specific player goals.
