Romance is an optional feature in Baldur's Gate 3. The player can start a romantic relationship with other characters - be it a brief fling or long-term. Some relationships can find their peak in sexual scenes, while others will follow different paths.
Characters can show interest on the player regardless of race and gender. Most important relationships will occur only with companions. Romance is available in multiplayer, but players won't be able to start a romance with each other.
As of Patch 9, there are six romance options available.
