Lae'zel has always had the hots for the player character, she's just tsundere.

I don't think games will ever be able to have this sort of thing without it seeming abrupt and/or creepy. agreed. her character arc if you do the romance is very sweet but would have strongly preferred it to be part of her companion quest or a No Horny toggle or something.

Yeah if you stick with her through act 3 you get some touching scenes you would never have imagined from early days “nice shoes wanna gently caress?” Lae’zel I guess you could argue she’s basically from outer space so it’s not unreasonable that she doesn’t follow human norms. I dunno what Halsin’s excuse is though.

I remember when Lae'zel started coming on to me I though the way she's saying that, if I refuse she will probably hurt me. And then I thought if I agree she will definitely hurt me. Then I found out later reading this thread that she actually does duel you lol

To a lesser degree than the others. But she does have some act 3 content where if you find her house it's apparent she has a pretty broken relationship with her some of her adopted children. She's away risking death all the time and all they get is a message here and there saying "yeah I'm probs gonna die this time, good luck" and they hate it. There's also the hidden shrine to her dead husband she very much doesn't want you to know about Which is nothing compared to Astarion's trauma for example but having her poo poo together is definitely a mask.

There's a very sad and niche situation that might not exist anymore though where uh, it goes a bit beyond mopey. This was all in Patch 1, I don't know if it's still there after the updated epilogues. I quicksaved right before seeing the endings to go through all the options. If you romanced Lae'zel and freed Orpheus you had the option to convince her to stay in Fae'run with you. You could then go see her in a tiny little cutscene in an inn. You then for some really screwed up reason, after convincing her to abandon everything she's ever had in life and essentially leaving her stranded in an alien world with only you for support, had the option to dump her as the last thing you ever did in the game. If you did this she would give this scornful speech about how it was a mistake to ever trust anyone with her heart and finish with "goodbye my first, and last love" After seeing that I was like goddamnit Larian why was that an option? I had to quickload and go through the happy route again to get the taste out of my brain. Unrelated note I got Busker.  Just one final cheevo to go.

Lae'zel will absolutely wreck you if she goes first in the duel, but having seen both variants it's a much more powerful scene when you lose, anyway.

I was following the kidnapping quest and reached a point that felt like I should maybe turn back and do more exploring. I'm not ready to go back to the tea house but stumbled upon a small area that ultimately led me back to the Grove and an explanation for why the rats there wouldn't talk to me. Speaking to animals has proven both more entertaining and more useful than I expected, particularly when used on swamp sheep. I wound up back in the horrible spider cavern and decided to take a chance jumping into The Big Hole so I swigged a feather fall potion and... led my entire party to their deaths. Whoops. Returned to the burnt out village to see if the fires had died down, and they had but there were still plenty of hot spots for my idiot party members to blunder through. I even tried to jump over one and my PC instead walked onto the hotspot and then jumped. I talked to an ox and then made the surprising discovery that you can move crates! That led me off on a tangent into another cave system where I encountered some shady folks but managed to get through it without having to fight anyone. I'm not sure where I'm going from here. There might be more cave to explore but they're prepping to blow the whole place up so I don't want to become a permanent resident. I also had a strange dream that led me to stuffing two more tadpoles into my brain before I realized that thematically that did not jibe with my PC. Ah well. The next character will definitely be a deliberate tadpole stuffer.

Definitely get what you want from the Zhentarim cave and get out. They may have a job for you, if you haven't stumbled across it already. As for the Tadpoles... at the very least, there are no mechanical downsides to stuffing yourself with more. It's purely a thematic "would my character do this" sort of thing. I do like that some party members are more receptive to trying it than others, though. Some are willing to go for it right off the bat, but others you need to actively talk them into it with Persuasion checks - and only after you've used one yourself.

Whoops. Feather Fall (the spell) casts it on your whole party, but Feather Fall (the potion) is only for the person who drank it. I forget this... often.

I don't think games will ever be able to have this sort of thing without it seeming abrupt and/or creepy. No this is just how gith-specific romance works. They all act like they loving hate you while quietly seething with lust because of how good a warrior you are. 10,000 years of omnicidal space fascism makes your romance predilections weird I guess.

But the Big Red Lady also came on to my PC even though she hasn't been in my party other than to handle the first part of her personal quest. I think Gale got a little frisky too after we did a little, um... channeling. Get a strong L.A. yoga instructor vibe from that dude. EDIT: VVVV Halfling bard with a cool hat. I bet it's the hat.

Now this is funny cause Karlach is like universally recognized as the hardest one to catch the attention of and successfully romance for some reason. My wife has been failing through all 3 acts to get Karlach to bite. Maybe your Tav ust has unnatural amounts of charisma.

Honestly, most of the cast members have a good reason for being really easy to romance. Gale's been in complete isolation for a year with nothing but his And Halsin is just Halsin.

One of the many things I really love about this game is how distinct and complete and unique all the party members are. You have people out there who are ride or die for Halsin, he is their dreamboat, and then you have people that could not be less interested in Halsin but they'd take a bullet for Wyll, or want nothing more than to live in a little cottage with Shadowheart and browse swinger websites with her on the weekend (she is almost comically supportive of and excited about you hooking up with the other horndogs in your area)
