Baldur’s Gate 3 players warn about romance with Lae’zel and its consequences

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player has discovered a fatal consequence of romance with Lae’zel on another companion.

In a game like Baldur’s Gate 3, your choices matter. For better or worse, players must think carefully about their decisions. Indeed, they can have a direct impact on the story, the companions, or Tav himself.

However, this means that some choices may be made without you even realizing it. Thus, some simple romances can have a rather negative impact on certain key companions, with one relationship facing a “death sentence”for another companion.

On Reddit, player BreathBandit revealed the consequences of romance with Lae’zel and its significant impact on Karlach.

He explained: “I loved romancing Lae’zel, by far my favorite character. But in the end, if you decide to fight alongside him against Vlaakith, you go straight to the dragon. Which means you’re not there to convince Karlach to go with Wyll to Avernus, which leads to her exploding. “. With these few words, he proved the impact of romance on other companions.

He then explained how, essentially, “Romancing Lae’zel is a death sentence for Karlach.”Indeed, you cannot then offer him a better alternative.

Fans quickly rushed to the comments to share their confusion regarding the consequences of their decision. Many felt that this could have been done a little differently, to avoid any undesirable results. One player said: “They should leave the flight with Voss and the dragons to the end of the scene, it makes no sense that you SHOULD let Karlach die and not at least find the others and know their plans just because you want to go with Lae’zel!»

Others have suggested a simple way to solve the problem. “The simple narrative correction would be, Tav: Okay, I’ll go with you Lae’zel, wait for me while I say goodbye to our companions. You can then do everything else, including convincing Karlach to go to Avernus with Wyll, and then at the very end, you and Lae’zel fly away together.”

However, while many players found the glitch frustrating, others found Karlach in the epilogue of Baldur’s Gate 3. Perhaps this means the choice isn’t as definitive as fans initially thought.
