Romance is a key aspect of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Sure, the characters may have a life-altering Mind Flayer tadpole in their brain that threatens to destroy everything they hold dear at any moment, and the fate of Baldur\u2019s Gate lies in their hands, but there\u2019s always time for a bit of love. For many, romance wouldn\u2019t be as important, if the companions weren\u2019t so lovable. After all, how can you not be won over by Astarion\u2019s amazing hair, Shadowheart\u2019s hilarious personality, and Karlach\u2019s, well, everything? However, one key companion cannot be romanced, and many players think Larian missed out on a key opportunity. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players think one key companion should have been romanceable Sharing their frustration on Reddit, one user asked: \u201cWhy can I not romance Jaheira? Bro she is a total gilf and I can\u2019t romance her at all. Truly saddening.\u201d Jaheira is a classic companion from the previous Baldur\u2019s Gate games and has been beloved throughout the franchise. However, in Baldur\u2019s Gate 2, after the loss of her husband, you could romance the popular half-elf, leaving many wondering why they can\u2019t do so in this game. While the poster was convinced it should have been added, the comments were split. One user explained how they \u201cwanted the same thing\u201d using her \u201cgreat sense of humor and conviction\u201d as her main lovable qualities. \u201cI was also disappointed because I like her the most. She\u2019s got such attitude and confidence but isn\u2019t naive like Karlach can be sometimes\u201d highlighted another user, finding Jaheira to be one of the more wise and mature companions. However, with her being a little more mature and wise, many didn\u2019t see her as a romanceable companion: \u201cShe is one of my favorites, although I prefer her as a best friend sorta figure. She literally reminds me of my older sister with whom I\u2019m really close, but would therefore find it weird to romance.\u201d Interestingly, one user explained how \u201cSwen said in an interview that they talked about it but ultimately it was something they decided not to do because the game\u2019s content was already expanding out of control.\u201d This interview took place with IGN, where Swen highlighted that they simply \u201cran out of time.\u201d While some are certainly eager to fall in love with Jaheira, it\u2019s clear others think she\u2019s perfect just as she is \u2013 and who knows, with all the patches and additions to the game, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players may eventually get a date with this badass half-elf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players devastated they can\u2019t romance this beloved companion Larian StudiosPlenty of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players think Larian missed a trick by not allowing one key companion the chance for romance with Tav \u2013 but not all fans agree.
