All Romance Options in Baldur's Gate 3

Understanding BG3 Romance:

Crucially, all romanceable characters are accessible regardless of your character's gender. The game features two romance types: long-term and short-term relationships. The approach varies depending on the character and your goals. Some offer one-night stands, while others require a more extended courtship. Furthermore, pursuing multiple romances simultaneously can lock you out of certain relationships. Timing and choices are critical. Most companion NPCs are romanceable, and choosing a companion significantly alters your experience with them, limiting the number of romances possible in a single playthrough.

All Romanceable Companions:

• Shadowheart
• Gale
• Astarion
• Karlach
• Wyll
• Lae'zel
• Halsin
• Minthara

All One-Off Romance Options:

• Mizora
• Guardian/Emperor
• Drow Twins
• Haarlep
• Naoise Nallinto
