So, here’s everything you need to know about potentially having a polyamorous relationship in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Is it possible to romance multiple companions in Baldur’s Gate 3?

The answer to whether you can romance multiple companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 is yes. However, there are a few complications that you will run into while trying to get into multiple romantic relationships. Most characters in the game are not fond of multiple romantic partners.

This means they will get angry once you deepen the bond with someone, and the other characters will break apart from you.

Polyamorous characters in Baldur’s Gate 3

Here are the BG3 characters that are willing to engage in a polyamorous relationship:

Halsin

Halsin is the top contender if you’re looking for a polyamorous relationship in BG3. From the get-go, Halsin seems quite open to the idea of having multiple romantic partners, particularly with Astarion. You can approach him about a romantic relationship in Act Two.

Minthara

Minthara is another character in Baldur’s Gate 3 who is open to having an open relationship, but some conditions must be met. Other characters, like Halsin, Wyll, and Karlach, don’t get along with Minthara and will immediately leave your party if they romance Minthara. Like Halsin, she’s available in Act Two as a romantic partner.

Shadowheart and Astarion

Most origin characters in BG3, including Lae’zel, Gale, Wyll, and Karlach, are not fond of a polyamorous relationship. However, Shadowheart and Astarion are willing to engage in an open relationship, but not with one another. This means you can choose one of them and one from Minthara or Halsin if you want to romance multiple people in Baldur’s Gate 3.

The best combinations for romancing multiple characters in BG3 are:

• Shadowheart + Halsin
• Astarion + Halsin

Additionally, you can romance the Drow Twins: Sorn and Nym Orlith whom you meet during Act 3 of the game.
