Larian has released a fresh batch of Baldur’s Gate 3 stats, confirming who’s the most romanced character, how many people have completed the game so far, and more.
Karlach, all the way. And not just because she’s a 7ft tall beast of a woman with a machine for a heart who “Winks at her foes as she slays them”, but because her personality is very close to my wife’s.
Also, there is a specific scream that Karlach does when enraged that flips all my switches.
The spirit is willing but the flesh is bruised and spongy.

I enjoyed reading that.
As much as I enjoy the scream?
Fun fact, my wife found out I liked it. And she ssid “I bet I could do that”. She didn’t get it quite right the first time, but she nailed it the second time. Which just flipped those switches even harder.
This is oddly endearing.
Loser ass clickbait, they could have easily mentioned it’s crybaby Shadowheart instead of the objectively thicc Karlach.
Shart is your first romance, when your options are her (who is more or less ambivalent towards you at first) or the frog (who fucking despises you). Of course people pick her while they don’t know about Mommy Karlach.
Second playthrough you know there is someone better waiting for you out there!
The player has the option to either ask Halsin to stay in human form, or let him get his furry paws all over them; 66% of players asked for the former.
y’all need jesus :(
Bear Fucker! Do you need assistance?!
I stabbed Shadowheart with a sharp stick and left her lifeless corpse in another dimension.
She had it coming.
she ran into your knife ten times
I got just inside Act 3 before I put the game on hold to wait for patches and things like that to come out…almost ready to jump back into it. I have been romancing Shadowheart because her story seemed to be the most tied-in to the game’s plot. If/when I do a second run, I will be Team Karlach all the way.
Karlach seems like a fun person to be around, when she is not in a rage. I love how funny she is.
I love her “fuck yes!l” enthusiasm. I’m also a sucker for Astarion’s “sigh if you must”, though.
I was romancing Gale. He is a funny guy and we had some fun together, but he is the kind of guy you have to fix, or he will blow up. You know that type of man.
So I broke it off with Gale and I am now trying to land Halsin. He seems more affectionate and more loving that Gale. I think I can get him. I have a beard, men like beards. LOL
The article says Shadowheat is the most romanced. I am not attracted to women, but isn’t she in a cult?
Who did everyone romance? I am stuck at work with hump day talk. Weekend is the time I can get back to playing BG3.
Laezel. I like strong, competent women. Shadowheart is kind of a sad wallflower, and karlach is… fine, but doesn’t hit my love of competence and control.
I didn’t end up with Lae’zel in the end, but I hedged my bets for long enough that I got the Long Rest scene where she wakes you up in the night. The encounter ended hilariously fast, but what followed melted my heart and made it very hard to not choose her.
I also love how quickly Lae’zel changes her entire world view, which happened around the same time for me. Mad respect for such principles and focus
And here I am wishing they’d remove the romance angle altogether and add more actual content.
