      Weirdly, the only weirdness I ever got from Gale was the grove party night. Where I had already told Astarion I’d see him later. Gale was like “we could have had a good night but while you have eyes for only one person in the camp”…

      And I’m like I do??? Man, I’d be down for 3some.

      I wish more games would allow for polyamoury.

        It is a thing in BG3, just not for everyone. No spoilers.

          ^ It is absolutely a thing, just only under certain circumstances. To explain it without spoilers (IMO, though YMMV):

          Basically you can romance multiple companions (as in the playable “origin” characters) at a time, up to a certain point. After that point in the plot, they will make you choose between them.

          However, two of those origin characters have no issue with you sleeping with or in some cases having a full-blown relationship with other characters you run into later in the game. But they still won’t be cool with you romancing both of them at the same time.

          If you want to know which characters are which, you can message me. I don’t want to accidentally ruin stuff for folks on the board.

              @Solstice look, let me have my fantasy vampire husband. so tortured, so murderous. heavy sigh

              …that being said I just murdered my way through the githyanki creche. I may sliding closer to chaotic evil rather than chaotic neutral. >_>

              But vlaakith tried to kill me. she’ll get hers in the end.

                Thank you folk for sending your Dream Guardians over. This one might be a bit easier but am looking to also do Smash/Pass on characters as well.

                So if anyone wanted to share their characters, I’d be much appreciated ❤

                  Personally, I think she was prettier before

                  Volo took her eyeball out. That charlatan!

                    @Cobalt There’s a few instances in the game where I really feel like a response of “Fuck you people. I tried to be reasonable, but now I’ve decided I’m leaving out your front gate, even if that means murdering all of you to get there.” is appropriate and even encouraged by the game.

                    Also, if you’re in the githyanki creche…

                    …And accidentally brought the entire monastery down by taking a certain item out of a certain place without completing the side-quest to get the thing that makes it okay to do that…

                    Definitely talk to Astarion after revivfying him. His meltdown is amazing and hilarious.

                      I found out after a long rest, if you do nothing. You lose a party member. 🥲

                      So turns out Shadowheart is pretty viscous but, damn, she looks so good in Lae’zel’s armour.

                        @Cobalt there was a super funny hilarious joke in here but I can’t get the spoilers to work right so you can just look in the edit history if you are curious.

                        @Aria I had a lot of fun with that particular bit that you spoilered. I hadn’t realized I had missed the part as you mentioned, so I just thought that what happened to me was the normal course of things. When @Roz told me she was at that part, I eagerly crowded over to watch her play so I could see her reaction.

                        Imagine the look on my face when she just put the crest in to the lock and the whole fucking monastery didn’t blow up with a three turn race against the clock to get out before it blew.

                          I had actually solved the puzzle to get the thing to prevent the consequence, but was unable to pass the stupid checks to get into the room with the quest-reward. Like, every single one of my companions failed even after I hauled my ass to the other end of the monastery so I’d be able to go to camp and swap people out.

                          Obviously I needed to know what I missed and was incredibly disappointed that I got neither the quest reward nor the hilarious Astarion meltdown dialogue options.

                            @tez that’s actually what happened!

                            @Aria yeah, I had to drag in Karlach, who I had already boosted to the relevant attribute to 20.

                              Astarion’s epilogue scene

                              If you didn’t let him become an evil mega-vampire had me in stitches. Everyone else getting the character moments and Astarion just shrieking in the sunlight and skittering off to find shade. “IT WAS NICE WHILE IT LASTED!”

                              Perfect. Utterly.

                                Prettty close to Karlach’s epilogue, that.

                                        Fun fact about that check:

                                        Ugh, I actually HATED that.

                                        Astarion can have so much growth and development, and having him end on a punchline like that – and with the possibility of one of your companions saying something brutally thoughtless about the whole thing (I had Gale just be like “lol well guess we’ll never see him again” – felt awful to me. It turned the whole thing into a punchline.

                                          I haven’t finished my main play through but I’m thinking of streaming a full on murder hobo play through, where anyone who isn’t a companion gets the knife.
