I thought Astarion was hitting on me... Turns out he wanted to suck me off, just not in the way I was hoping.

My pansexual ass actually only had the scenes with Lae'zel and Wyll. Those were the only two that just happened on their own. The rest I've had to work at, and nobody likes me! 😭

Not all the companions are willing to accept a poly relationship, and if you lock in on one who isn't (like Wyll) everyone else backs off.

(Imagine my surprise when things got serious with Astarion in act 2 and Gale, who I'd never flirted with - I never even got that one scene that starts with the Mystra image - suddenly demanded I choose between them. Awkward.)

And Astarion is just hard to please in general if your character doesn't find chaos and a little death on the side fun.

I am currently wondering which companion(s) I can take into a particular optional encounter toward the beginning of act 3. Even the ones I've romanced don't have an option to ask. Unlikely to make any other friends on this dude given I am the Dark Urge and playing full evil. But... The Dark Urge should be able to satisfy this dark urge too.

HA. Is it sad that I know exactly the one you mean from such a vague description... (no, no it's not)

Since you mention you're on an evil playthrough, it's worth noting Minthara is horrendously broken right now. If you have her on another save (since you mention Wyll idk if we're talking multiple saves or what)... All those times you've spoken to her at camp and she jumps straight to the menu with the usual options without the camera even zooming in on her, those were supposed to be special situational dialogue including comments on current events and possible romance triggers. So you literally had no chance with her. Hoping patch 2 fixes her, she's fun.

I was able to bring Astarion and, optionally, Halsin to that particular encounter. I'm not sure if Astarion relies on a particular choice made in his personal quest - he declines until that's done, but I don't know if both outcomes have the same result for the special encounter. Haven't tried a save with any other options yet.

My evil run is still at the beginning, so I technically have wyll in my camp and haven't been to the goblin camp yet, but the romance thing with him was from another save. I've ran the story twice already, but there's so many more things I can do differently I'm on a 3rd. There will likely be a 4th lol

It's good that the brokenness of Minthara is being talked about now... Just in time for my first run specifically to use her and possibly some other companions I murdered because they was bad.

Once you get the second romantic scene where you cana sk companions for a kiss, you are blocked for any other origin companion, although some don't mind sharing you with non origin ones like halsin.

I was monogamous with Shadowheart and it hurt having to tell literally everyone to put it back in their pants

Ugh, same! Personally I am cackling at all the queer relationships but good GAWD my companions be a horny bunch. At least Shadowheart likes to cuddle.

Lae'zel: Did you just let a kid get murdered. That's hot, let's bone right now.

Had me falling out of my chair cackling

Hopefully memes about bg3 are allowed

When is the Ultrakill-style mod releasing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Do not give me the ability to start slam-storing or fist-parrying my way through Faerun

Isn't horny normal for every ttrpg/pnp?

Tables are sometimes horny, but claiming that "every" table is horny is a wild misrepresentation

All mine have been...

Sexing companions in CRPGs isn't actually that old. The oldest one with any kind of sex I can recall is Fallout 2. And they're both basically joke scenes (you can get an std as a porn actor and be a submissive to a super mutant). But actually getting with companions started with KOTOR or Mass Effect 2 or around that time, anyway.
