There are multiple romantic options available to players in Baldur’s Gate 3. Each companion can be romanced, as well as a few additional characters who join you at your camp. While some players may prefer monogamy with a single party member, others may desire to romance multiple characters. The question is, can you actually romance more than one companion in Baldur’s Gate 3? Let’s find out.

Can You Romance Multiple Companions in Baldur’s Gate 3?

If you’re a polyamorous romancer, you’ll be pleased to know that yes, you can indeed romance multiple companions simultaneously in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, it’s not without its challenges. Some companions may prefer exclusivity with you, while others may be open to multiple romances. It ultimately depends on your dialogue choices and how well you develop your relationships with these characters.

You’ll need to experiment and determine whether the polyamorous romance route is feasible. For example, given that Shadowheart and Lae’zel have a strong dislike for each other, it’s unlikely that they would be interested in a polyamorous relationship. However, there may be potential for characters like Karlach and Astarion, or even Halsin and Shadowheart to explore polyamory.
