Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Recs: Romance~
In celebration of the 2 year anniversary of the most influential event of all time, the first day I played BG3, have some mods that fix and improve BG3's amazing romances :3
Qathryn's BG3 Mod Recs Masterpost
Kisses: In case you somehow don't have this one already. Adds spells of companions’ unique kisses, including: their unique endgame kisses (missing Halsin's tho ☹️) and unique epilogue kisses.
Hugs: Adds a spells that let you hug characters. Includes I think every hug animation: Gale, act 2 romanced Astarion, Shadowheart, Karlach, Halsin, God Gale, the Dream Guardian, and (limited) reverse hugs for short races.
Aeries' Gale Dekarios - Hugs Kisses Voiced Dialog: Adds a dialogue option to romanced Gale to access 8 kisses (his 4 epilogue ones, 2 from Wyll, and 2 from Astarion), his epilogue hug, and Shadowheart's hug. All these romantic actions are accompanied by dialogue, so while you can access all these thru the above Kisses and Hugs mods, this a is a more "natural" way of getting them. NOTE: this requires a compatibility pak if you have Lesser Restoration.
Astarion Confession Dialogue Edit: Incorporates elements of his Yugir confession (the famous "nice simple plan" line) to his Araj confession, adds the ability to both ask him what he wants to do + tell him we can be together w/o sex, before hugging or opening your mind him.
Astarion Kisses Revamped: Because why does spawn Astarion get only TWO kisses 😭!? Restores a third unfinished neck kiss found in games files, improves camera angles on his vanilla kisses, and stops his "I'm all pointy ears, love~" dialogue from vanishing after you defeat Cazador.
Astarion's Graveyard Scene Extended: Adds new additional shots to his act 3 romance scene, so you can see extra details as part of normal gameplay. This does include The Leg Thing B)
Astarion Act 3 - "But you're MY leaking blood-bag": For Durges romancing Astarion: ensures he always says this excellent line if Durge tells Ethel "I prefer to think of myself as a leaking blood-bag," in act 3, even if you saved Mayrina in act 1 (which normally makes this inaccessible in vanilla)
Karlach's Romance - Better Hot Date: Allows you to ask Karlach all 3 questions during your date, plus adds in some unique dialogue options for different classes, backgrounds, and races.
Firestarter - Karlach Romance Overhaul: Restores Karlach's bugged pre-tiefling party romance scene, allows the scene to happen after the party in case you didn't have enough approval at the party, and adds in a chance to start the romance (or kiss her if already dating) when she gets her 2nd upgrade.
Astral Pain - Lae'zel Romance Debuff: For weak istiks who want to remove the debuff they receive after getting freaky with the frog wife (you can do it in vanilla by using lesser restoration, but Lae'zel will disapprove 😂)
Minthara's Alurlssrin: Since Larian NEVER fixed the bug preventing the lovely follow-up dialogue after Minthara calls your bond alurlssrin from appearing, our patron saint of BG3 Modding hyperspacetowel did 🙏
Minthara's Poison Kiss: Bumps up the chance of getting your first poisoned kiss from 1 in 100 to 1 in 10, so you can learn that your hot drow wife loves u so much she poisons u 🥰
Missed Connections - Shadowheart - Truly Connect: Fixes the bug that prevents you from starting a romance with Shads after the tiefling party if you did not have enough approval at that party, or if you had the goblin party instead.
Missed Connections - Shadowheart: Fixes the bug preventing Shadowheart's act 3 romance scene if you missed your chance to learn that she likes night orchids and can't swim.
Ex-Sharran Swimming Lessons: Unlocks Shads' act 3 romance scene if Dark Justicier Shadowheart saved her parents.
Wyll's Act 3 Romance Tweaks: For those who choose to end Wyll's romance scene with cuddling, this tweaks the camera angle so you can actually see the cuddling!
Dark Urge Tweeaks: Some restored banter and improved companion reactivity for Durge, including new cinema sequences featuring your romance partner actually being upset about resist Durge dying.
Lesser Restoration: Previously recommended for its MANY bug fixes, wanted to highlight its romance improvements/fixes here: unlimited endgame kisses for Astarion, Halsin, and Minthara; fixes bugs preventing Karlach's pre-tiefling party romance scene; fixes bugs preventing Wyll's act 2 dance even if you did not flirt with him at the party (perhaps not an improvement because you WILL have to break his heart 😭 or enter a script extender command daily to prevent it); stops romance related banter from playing prematurely (such as before your partner's act 2 or 3 scene)
