Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 NPC \u201cplays you for a fool\u201d when romanced Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a wide range of romance options, but romancing this NPC in particular may leave you brokenhearted. A part of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 charm is letting you make your own choices throughout the game, and that includes choosing the character you\u2019d like to romance. Remember the Guardian you could customize at the beginning of your game? The one who would give you advice and suggest you eat tadpoles? Well, there\u2019s an option to romance this NPC as well later in the game, but it\u2019s not going to be as smooth as you think, as one player had found out. Sharing their experience in a Reddit thread, the player claimed when they got to the second Emperor cutscene in Act 3, they chose a dialogue option they wouldn\u2019t usually choose. Thanks to that, they discovered that when you ask the Emperor if he\u2019s flirting with you, if you choose to say, \u201cI\u2019d rather stick to business,\u201d he would quickly agree and move on. However, what really stood out to the player was how the cutscene ended afterwards. According to them, the narrator would mention that you were disappointed with \u201chow fast the Emperor was willing to move on, without even the slightest amount of regret.\u201d They explained: \u201cIt makes it seem like no matter if you romanced the Emperor in this scene or not, everything he does is disingenuous and solely for personal pleasure\/companionship.\u201d Ultimately, the player wrote: \u201cIn other words, he doesn\u2019t truly love you that way, just gaslighting you into becoming closer to him for the mission. Fascinating interaction I\u2019ve never seen!\u201d Regarding the OP\u2019s experience with the Emperor, other players also shared their thoughts in the comments. One user claimed he\u2019s \u201cclearly embarrassed\u201d and \u201cdoesn\u2019t want to bring it up.\u201d They added, \u201cHe didn\u2019t fool me. I\u2019m gonna kiss that toxic calamari next go around.\u201d Another user mentioned that he\u2019s an Illithid; hence, he doesn\u2019t \u201clove in the way humans understand.\u201d Meanwhile, a different user brought up that he \u201cjust moves on like an adult.\u201d Either way, whatever your choice is when romancing this NPC, there\u2019s always a way to go back if you\u2019d like to change the outcome \u2014 just don\u2019t do it too far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
