Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players \u201cso glad\u201d one companion isn\u2019t romanceable Larian StudiosRomance is a key aspect of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, with multiple companions falling in love with the player. However, there\u2019s one companion you can\u2019t romance, and players couldn\u2019t be happier about it. While there\u2019s certainly a lot hanging over players\u2019 heads in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Larian Studios have ensured there\u2019s always time for a little bit of romance in their games. Luckily, there\u2019s a wide variety of companions to fall in love with, from the charismatic vampire Astarion to the adorably excitable Karlach. However, you can\u2019t romance every single companion in the game, which has certainly pleased many veteran Baldur\u2019s Gate fans. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans praise Larian for making Jaheira unavailable to romance Posting their opinion on Reddit, one user shared how they were \u201cglad [Jaheira] isn\u2019t a love interest.\u201d They went on to explain how they love Jaheira and loved the fact that she became a recruitable companion. However, the main focus was on the fact that you can\u2019t romance her throughout the events of BG3: \u201cSo she\u2019s a great character from the older games, love that. And I totally get she\u2019s hot and a cougar route would be fun. But would I ever want her to be a love interest? No\u201d The poster shared a little about Jaheira\u2019s background, detailing how her love with Khalid in Baldur\u2019s Gate 2 made it awkward to romance her, highlighting how \u201cher romance wasn\u2019t in character for her at all\u201d and that she\u2019d likely \u201cnever love another like she loves Khalid.\u201d Ultimately, they feel not being able to romance Jaheira is perfect for her character and ideal for the story, rather than prioritizing the player\u2019s heart. The comments certainly agreed, with the post gaining considerable traction once released. Plenty of players agreed with their statement about Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, explaining how \u201cI couldn\u2019t even romance her in BG2 cause it felt so wrong,\u201d let alone attempting in the most recent game. Others highlighted how Larian had written her character in BG3, stating that \u201cshe feels more like a mentor\/older best friend\/the sane one of the group than a potential romantic interest.\u201d This was an interesting perspective on her character design, and one many players agreed with. In fact, one user posted an idea regarding future updates, suggesting: \u201cIf Larian would consider giving Jaheira some interactions in the \u201cromantic\u201d field of the game, I want her to be some sort of advisor more than anything. Like giving some advice on when to buy bouquet in Baldur\u2019s Gate, the best location for a date, or what she thinks about your romantic interest. Jaheira was in a long relationship for a while, and she is ancient, so she probably has something wise to say.\u201d There\u2019s no telling whether Jaheira will get more lines or perhaps become that romantic advisor, but it\u2019s clear players are thrilled she\u2019s not able to be romanced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
