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 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.

Buddy, if you didn’t hit on everyone all the time then maybe you had more friends.

Haynow, some critters respond well to that!

My wife, a player since the early betas, was shocked that in the first 10 hours of playing after release I had already banged laezel despite my lack of interest in the romance aspect of the game.

This makes that make way more sense.

Funny, because the only character I’m trying to bone doesn’t have any romantic dialogue, despite max approval.

C’mon Karlach, do something!

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.

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.

The save scumming is what pulled me out of the game. :( Felt like I was meta gaming and I didn’t want to do that in a D&D game.

It took me til halfway through Act 2 to realize you’re supposed to click on roll bonuses like Guidance before rolling in order for them to be added to your total

The fact that you didn’t know this means you were not getting the guidance bonuses from the deity.

If that happened to me in tabletop, I’d probably go knock over some tables at their respective chapel

(Take it as in-lore and with good humor lol)

To be fair, even with the bonuses, and karmic dice enabled, you can still end up rolling a 1 multiple times in a row.

That’s why I save on the roll screen before I toss the die. Go through inspiration/tools first. Then reload if I get fucked over. Because it just sucks failing a DC10 when you can only fail on a 1, since the game does not let you just take a 10.

My first character I tried to make, I was wandering around poking everything and getting into fights (and losing) while Shadowheart and the green woman who’s name I can’t remember how to spell follow me around being catty or outright hostile to each other.

The second character I started after I basically got stuck in a position where I couldn’t advance, and every door our of the area I’m in was met with a “This is going to be bitterly hard for your sad weak little party” message on my first character. I spent some more time wandering around the crash site, which made me realize I needed to spend more time wandering around the crash site looking for people.

I’ve been watching a friend play and absolutely noticed that the romance stuff is a lot slower. everyone wanted to jump my wizard bones about 18 hours in, though it’s very easy to just not flirt with them. Meanwhile she’s 28 hours in and Shadowheart (who was trying to get me in bed with her in the first 10 hours of my play through) still hasn’t propositioned her.

Guess I missed out because 90 hours in and shadowheart just recently propositioned me despite us having a relationship for the last 80 hours lol. But Gale… I back out of him showing me a magic trick cuz it got too flirty, and now he thinks we boned.

How do I keep the bug? I like the horniness! There should be a switch in the options to enable extra horny.

There’s been at least one patch and one hotfix in the past week, one of them might have done it
