Baldur’s Gate 3 has presented players with a unique challenge – how many companions and devils can you romance in a single playthrough? While some players stick to their favorite romance option, others have taken on the challenge of exploring all the sex-related possibilities the game has to offer.
A recent post on Reddit sparked interest in determining the maximum number of sex scenes that can be encountered in one run of Baldur’s Gate 3. Through meticulous calculations, it has been estimated that players can experience between 11 to 12 sex scenes in total, including some that are locked behind specific romance paths.
During the first act of the game, players can engage in up to four sex scenes with companions such as Astarion, Lae’zel, and Minthara (if the Emerald Grove is destroyed). These encounters can be achieved relatively quickly for those looking to experience a more nefarious playthrough.
As players progress to the second act, the number of possible sex scenes increases, with the potential for up to five encounters based on choices made in the previous act. However, certain decisions, such as having Astarion drink Araj Oblodra’s blood, can impact which romance options are available in Acts 2 and 3.
Act Three presents the opportunity for players to witness a total of 12 sex scenes, depending on the decisions made throughout the game. Some of these scenes are only accessible if players enter into a relationship with specific companions, such as Astarion, Karlach, or Shadowheart. Additionally, non-companion characters like Mizora and Harleep offer additional romantic possibilities.
It is important to note that individual playthroughs may vary, and the number of sex scenes encountered could differ based on personal choices and experiences. Changes to game mechanics through patch updates may also impact the availability of certain romance options.
The challenge of pursuing as many romances as possible in Baldur’s Gate 3 has captured the attention of players looking to explore the game’s more intimate side. By carefully navigating dialogue and decisions throughout each act, players can unlock a variety of romantic encounters with companions and non-companion characters alike.
As players continue to push the boundaries of romance in Baldur’s Gate 3, the possibility of this challenge becoming a popular speedrunning category – overtaking the current “sex%” category – looms on the horizon. With each playthrough offering a unique experience, the game’s romance options are sure to provide endless entertainment for those willing to take on the challenge.
