Selecting the perfect romantic partner in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is no simple matter. Every NPC option brings something special to the table, unique qualities that one player may value more than others. The Astarion romance seems an especially popular love interest, though the likes of Shadowheart, Gale, and Karlach have stolen plenty of hearts as well. One Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player shared their struggles in this regard in a recent Reddit post. For them, the hard choice is between Karlach and Shadowheart, a decision reminiscent of The Witcher 3\u2019s contentious love triangle. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s romance choices remind players of Witcher 3 struggles Redditor Skelligean is still in the first act of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and has already found themselves caught between two potential love interests \u2013 Karlach and Shadowheart. The user says romantically aligning Geralt with either Yennefer or Triss in The Witcher 3 marked the last time romance options in a game hit them this hard. \u201cHaven\u2019t had such a tough time like this since Witcher 3 choosing between Triss and Yennefer. This is much more difficult though. Props to Larian for these well-developed strong female characters,\u201d the user wrote in part. With The Witcher 3, lore from the previous games and the books factored into the decision-making for many. Some didn\u2019t like that Triss had taken advantage of Geralt\u2019s lapsed memory to finally have a chance with her friend\u2019s lover, making Yen the easy choice. Others thought Yen\u2019s questionable morals made Triss the best option for the monster hunter. But the advice given by some Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players says the Redditor can\u2019t go wrong with the Shadowheart or Karlach romances. Thus, as one commenter stated, it may be wise to \u201cDo one playthrough for each, both are great.\u201d Someone else offered a bit more encouragement for this line of thinking, saying, \u201cYou\u2019re still in Act 1 so you have a lot of time to figure out which one feels right for this run (you don\u2019t have to lock in an official romance until Act 2). Plus, you can always do a second run and romance the other one there.\u201d Whatever the player chooses, most would agree they\u2019re in for a rich experience all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player faces toughest romance decision since The Witcher 3 Larian Studios, CDPRA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player says choosing between Karlach and Shadowheart is the toughest romance choice they\u2019ve made in a game since The Witcher 3.
