There are various companions that you can romance in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, but by now, it\u2019s no secret that Shadowheart and Astarion remain the more popular options, even after a year. This is evident in the statistics Larian revealed during the game\u2019s first anniversary. For a portion of the community, warming up to the Gith warrior Lae\u2019zel can be hard, especially in the beginning. Her brash attitude may not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, but surprisingly, she can be a completely different person by the end of the game, making her a companion that players deem well-written. In a Reddit thread discussing how Lae\u2019zel is a \u201cmisunderstood\u201d character as she grows throughout the story, many players have shared their experience romancing the companion, some even labeling it as the \u201cbest.\u201d One user described Lae\u2019zel as a \u201cride or die\u201d companion, claiming that she \u201chas some of the best character growth in the whole game\u201d and has \u201cone of the best loyalty quests.\u201d They added, \u201cHer romance is the best; you get to see her soften but remain still as fierce and strong.\u201d Meanwhile, one user wrote: \u201cI romanced Lae\u2019zel for my Durge run. Because I figured if I had to kill her, I wouldn\u2019t feel as bad\u2026. and instead, it f***ed up my entire \u2018be evil\u2019 thing because I actually kinda fell in love with her.\u201d Another user claimed they \u201clost it\u201d when she woke them up to see the sunrise. \u201cFirst time romancing her, and I\u2019ll never see her negatively ever again. She\u2019s my boo, and I can\u2019t believe I did my whole first playthrough without her.\u201d \u201cI love her. Her romance arc gave me whiplash, but it is so satisfying. If you haven\u2019t tried it, please do!\u201d a different user said. \u201cI romance her every time. She\u2019s so underrated,\u201d one chimed in. If you\u2019re looking into romancing Lae\u2019zel and seeing what all the development is about, you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re aware of this one thing so that things go smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cUnderrated\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companion is actually worth romancing Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players reveal why one particularly \u201cunderrated\u201d companion is worth romancing in the game.
