Romancing Wyll or Gale

[eves_faith]

So I've just gotten the dancing scene with Wyll. When speaking to him after that, he treats us as a couple, and Gale wants me to decide between them, when all we did was this little magic trick so far. I feel like the dance scene came too early, before I could even get to know the others better. Karlach just gotten her touch upgrade, and Astarion didn't even yet make a move. Can I delay this talk with Gale to a certain point or won't I get any more 'interest' scenes anyway from now on?

Also I wonder if Wyll will still go with Karlach in the end if you date him. I kind of love their friendship.

Wyll, Karlach and Gale are very monogamous. And Gale is broken, any friendly stuff he sees as a romance, devs comfirmed that. So if you date Wyll, he won't end up with Karlach.

do you by chance know if I could delay that discussion with Gale (its only in his list of topics if you talk to him at camp) and possibly get another scene with him or is that ship sailed?

I'm not sure because romances here are really messed up. I wanted to know chars better and suddenly i'm in love with almost all my crew and they fight over me. This is madness so I decided to end all romances. So it's hard to answer your question until devs fix the game properly.

The romance writing in the game is sadly very weird. The devs told before the release about something like that you can switch romances by ending one and starting another, but in practice, it simply doesn't work. The game railroads you into choosing a romance and sticking to it, because once the dialogue options, nearly all of which happen pretty early in the game, are done, you can't get the romance back on track ever again, no matter how much the character adores you. So if you decided to stick with Laezel in Act 1 and then broke up in Act 2, you can't romance Shadowheart anymore, if you had a talk about that already in Act 1, which didn't result in a romance.

Karlach is even worse. Unless you give her "engine" the first upgrade in Act 1, you are completely locked from her romance, even if you give her both upgrades in Act 2.

It's really needs a lot of polish. Romance in the game is broken, so better just pick your target, reject everyone else, and don't try to "play around", until the devs do something about it...

If you are in relationship with Gale, Wyll, Lae'zel or Karlach... that is it, you can only have one.

With Shadowheart or Astarion you can be somewhat polyamorous, but you can only choose one of them

so it can even become more than two fighting over you? I have to agree, these kind of decisions come too early on game, I would love to see a bit more of character development to see what I am getting into.

yeah that is basically what I wonder, if there'll even be more romance options or not, so you can switch or choose from later on. I kinda liked Wyll at first, but he's a bit... too romantic and not as interesting as I thought at first. Astarion could make for a great character development, just as Shadowheart and Karlach is so funny and sweet, you just have to love her. Gale could be... very annoying as he has the tendency too so far, or let his attitude drop somewhat and show his real character along the way.

I chose Wyll, Gale is 2D
