Baldur’s Gate 3is packed with choices that can drastically shape your story, from major moral decisions to lighthearted party banter. But one of the most talked-about features? The romance. With a cast full of compelling characters, it’s no surprise players are eager to explore every possible love story.
Naturally, the modding community jumped at the chance to enhance and expand the game’s romantic possibilities. From quality-of-life improvements to entirely new romance paths, modders have created a treasure trove of tools to help you charm your favorite companion.
10Put A Smile On Ascended Astarion
Somefans of Ascended Astarionfelt a bit conflicted during his romantic scenes due to his facial expressions. After all, he’s supposed to be basking in his newfound power, not looking scared and emotionally wounded. Enter modder FluffySpider, who decided Astarion deserved tolookas confident and content as his new status implies.
Their mod swaps out his sad or fearful facial expressions during romantic interactions with ones that are more fittingly smug, flirty, or downright happy. It’s a small change, but one that makes a big difference, especially if you’re leaning into the power couple fantasy.
9Halsin Polyamory Bug Fix
Halsin, the ever-charming Circle of the Moon Druid you meet in Act One, is not only a powerhouse in combat, he’s alsoone of the few openly polyamorousromance options in Baldur’s Gate 3. But if you take too long to bring up the idea of expanding your love life with your current partner… well, let’s just say the bear-man sails off into the sunset alone.
Enter the Get Your Bear-Man mod, which swoops in to save your romantic subplot. This mod restores the dialogue option that lets you ask your partner about inviting Halsin into the relationship, reopening the door to his route. Once that’s done, his romance path proceeds as normal: complete with all the heart, charm, and druidic shapeshifting you could ask for.
8Additional Gale Dekarios Romance Content
Gale Dekarios, the ever-charming human wizard with a flair for the dramatic (and occasionally explosive), is one of Baldur’s Gate 3’s romanceable companions. Bisexual and deeply complex, Gale can be romanced by any gender, but first, he must confront his lingering heartbreak and tangled past with the goddess Mystra before he can fully commit to love.
Modder Moxi, whose player character Aeries fell completely in love with Gale, wanted even more romantic depth, and thus, a new mod was born. This lovingly crafted addition expands Gale’s romance arc with eight unique kisses, two heartfelt hugs, and a generous helping of voiced dialogue responses to deepen the emotional connection. There’s just one catch: the mod only works if your character is officially partnered with Gale. So if you’ve won his heart, now you can trulysweep him off his feet…spell slots not required.
7Hug Your Companions
For all the romance, drama, and heartfelt moments in Baldur’s Gate 3, there’s one glaring omission: hugs. Sometimes you just want to embrace your favorite companion after a tough battle or an emotional conversation…withoutwaiting for the story to decide if it’s hug-worthy or if it’s happening at all.
The Hug Your Companions mod fixes this wholesome oversight with two snuggly options:
Because sometimes, a good hug is all your party really needs… well, that and a few healing potions.
6Unlimited Last Kisses In Endgame
Few things are more satisfying than that final, cinematic kiss at the end of a great story, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is no exception. After hours of adventuring, bonding, and navigating emotional rollercoasters,that endgame smoochfeels well-earned. But once it’s over… it’sover. Or is it?
Thanks to the Kiss Me Again mod, the romance doesn’t have to fade to black. This mod keeps the kiss dialogue option available for Astarion, Halsin, and Minthara, so every time you strike up a conversation, you may seal it with a kiss. Want to kiss Astarion after a tough battle? Go for it. Feel like giving Halsin a post-dungeon smooch? Be our guest. Because true love (and great cheekbones) deserve repeat performances.
5Increase Your Party Size
The standard party size in Baldur’s Gate 3 is four: just enough to get things done, but not enough to bring all your favorites along for the ride. That means tough choices, missed banter, and slower relationship progress. Enter the Party Limit Begone mod, which blows the doors wide open by increasing your party size to 16 characters (or eight in co-op).
Not only does this make combat feel more like a chaotic fantasy brawl in the best way possible, it also gives you more time to build relationships and spark romance. After all, it’s hard to win someone’s heart when they’re stuck at camp waiting for their turn in the party. With this mod, you can adventure witheveryone, flirt witheveryone, and maybe even kiss a vampire and a druid in the same dungeon run. Efficiency at its finest.
4Romance-Driven Save File
Gamers often face a classic dilemma: do you stay immersed in the story, or pause to grab the perfect screenshot of your favorite scene? In many cases, if you miss the moment, your only options are to replay the game or search for it online… and neither is ideal when you’re just trying to capture that perfect kiss or dramatic monologue.
Enter the Dating-Sim Save File mod, a handy solution that gives you easy access to ten curated save files featuring key romance scenes. Whether you’re a screenshot junkie or just want to relive the highlights, this mod has you covered. Just a heads-up: you’ll need to have theApproval CheatandPolyamorymods installed for everything to work smoothly.
3All The Kisses
All the companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 bring their own signature style to the party, from their combat skillsto their fashion choices, and yes, even how they kiss. Each romantic gesture is tailored to the character, adding a personal touch that makes every relationship feel unique. But sometimes… you just want to shake things up.
The Kisses mod lets you do exactly that. It adds a spell container to your character, allowing you to use the unique kissing animations of your companions… regardless of whether you’re actually romancing them. Want to kiss like Astarion with dramatic flair? Or channel Karlach’s fiery passion? Now you can.
2Replayable Romance Scenes
Baldur’s Gate 3 is well-known for its steamy, cinematic romance scenes, but there’s one big catch: if you want to see them again or with someone new, you’re stuck replaying the game or reloading an old (or modded) save. Fortunately, modders Cerberry and Moxi rolled a Nat 20 on fan service.
Their Replayable Romance Scenes mod lets you relive the magic (or chaos) without starting over. It adds a handy little spell container that allows you to trigger romance scenes with any companion, NPC, or even inanimate objects (because why not?). Currently, the mod supports seven scenes, including:
Because sometimes once just isn’t enough… especially when vampire spawn are involved.
1No Romance Limit
Baldur’s Gate 3 features a vibrant, lovable (and occasionally stabby) cast of characters, so it’s no surprise that choosing justoneto romance can feel like an impossible task. Unfortunately, most of your companions aren’t too keen on sharing, and trying to date around often ends in awkward breakups or tense campfire chats.
Enter the No Romance Limit mod, here to save your heart from indecision. This mod adds a polyamory option, allowing you to romance multiple companions at once without the usual jealousy drama. No more getting dumped for flirting with someone else; you can now charm the whole party and still keep the peace. After all, why settle for one when you can have a vampire, a druid,anda githyanki warrior wrapped around your finger? Perfect.
