Complete list of Baldur's Gate 3 Romance options
As mentioned already, you can choose to romance with almost all the companions who will be present in your camp in Baldur's Gate 3. Of course, you'll need to add them to the camp first and then gradually increase your rapport.
- Astarion
- Shadowheart
- Lae'zel
- Gale
- Halsin
- Karlach
- Minsc
- Minthara
- Wyll
- Misc
- Jaheira
For the most part, you'll be able to romance with anyone available on this list. You can start with an origin character or have a custom choice. Factors like class, race, and sub-race shouldn't be too much of an issue if it's the latter.
That said, some of them are contrasting to each other. For example, Minthara can't be added if you side with Tieflings, as you must defeat her. This will kill Minthara and end any chance you can romance her or make her your companion.
Still, this will also allow Halsin to return to Emerald Grove and create a possible romance option.
Many of these characters will allow you to romance with multiple partners simultaneously. If you romance with someone who doesn't want to share with you, any new romance will be possible only if you end your existing relationship.
Moreover, romance with some companions will be easier to set up and manage and will take less effort. It is important to remember that any chance of romance ultimately depends on your approval rating, and you must maintain a high-enough number.
