Final romantic scenes of companions in Baldur’s Gate 3

Karlach Date, God Gale Ascension, Astarion Vampire Lord, Astarion Vampire Spawn, Laezel Sunrise, Shadowheart Selûne Path, Shadowheart Shar Path, Wyll Proposal, Halsin (you'll never guess which scene) (Minthara does not have a cinematic romance scene in Act 3, but she has our hearts, which she wins over again and again. She also has an excellent scene in Act 1) To make it easier to follow, I recommend turning on the scene with dialogue.

I learned about this thanks to RomeoandNutella, when she shared a wonderful script of the Ascended Astarion scene in our community - thank you so much, darling <3

Reference: - Most of the developers’ notes can be found in: CinematicNodeContext, AnimationTags Some additional details: SFXTags, logicalname. There is also NodeContext, which is easier to explore in the HTML format. Here, the focus is on the first two tags describing the scene. - Parts of the text were often scattered randomly and had to be manually pieced together by reviewing the scenes. The blocks of text are separated exactly as they appeared in the file. - Descriptions sometimes repeat one after another with slight variations, for accuracy, I will keep all versions. Purely technical elements like: [AL] No custom needed if they are just standing, are abbreviated. But these are just a couple of cases; some technical elements have been preserved. - Scenes have different branches that change the descriptions. These choices will be separated by this symbol: [ - ] Or labeled with headings.

Overview: Cinematics are an important part of the game - a collaborative, step-by-step process involving character writers, character actors, cinematic artists and the animation team. The emphasis on cinematic scene direction, motion capture, and the artistic visual style is what drew thousands of people to the game. For quite some time now, fans have been uncovering parts of the developers’ work on scene animations. There, you can find some interesting details about your favorite companions in cinematic scenes in Act 3. Since the scenes in Act 3 are written when the characters’ ideas and story arcs are already fully developed and have gone through a long production process, the notes in these final romance scenes are especially interesting. Some scenes are described in detail - you can occasionally find notes on the characters’ emotions, thoughts, and the overall narrative tone of the scene (Karlach, Astarion) Others are more technical, focusing on movement and lighting, as much of what the scene conveys is likely expressed through dialogue between the characters (Laezel)

Karlach Date CAMP_Karlach_CRD_ROM_Date

The Player walks into Dancing Lute Tavern and spots Karlach, who's already sitting at one of the tables. It's decorated in a white tablecloth and candles. She beckons you over.

Please reach out to Greg for poses/staging/characters/props placaments ref

Player takes a seat oppsite Karlach. They both pick up menus (menu is like a paper, not book type) and read them over, Karlach glancing at the player nervously from time to time.

After Karlach delivered the line, she beckons the waiter over while still holding menu with left hand.

A bored-looking half-orc drags himself over and grunts at the players (walk few step to the player then talk)

She smiles, scans the menu again. (menu is like a piece of paper, not book type)

The waiter takes the menus and ambles away.

The waiter approaches and roughly drops two plates of food and two cups in front of Karlach and player. The food is something other than the choice made by the player. The two cups are two generic cups, can be any liquid inside. (same cine as N348)

Henk turns back and walks away from the table.

Karlach shrugs, amused at Henk's horribleness. She reaches for the drink to hold it aloft and propose a toast, but she fumbles it and knocks the glass over, then she back to standard sitting pose.

Player raises their glass in toast, drinks from their cup, and is about to pass it to Karlach to drink, but she's roughly leaned over the table to grab the player and kiss them. She sits back down, jostling the table again.

Camera zoom out implying they're eating and drinking. When it comes back to them, the plates/ cups are gone and the lights are dimmer, implying the passage of time.

She reaches across the table o the player, takes their hands in hers.

Fade to black that opens on the player and Karlach in one of the rooms in the inn. This will be a scene of sexual intimacy. (The following is open to interpretation/ details can and should evolve to suit cinematic + actor needs)

Karlach sits on the bed in the room and the player approaches, positioning themself between her legs and kissing her deeply. Karlach stands up, lifts up the player off their feet and rolls them onto the bed, Karlach on top. She pauses, looking deep into the player's eyes. A look of consertnation passes briefly over her face, then the mood breaks. She smiles. (She is thinking about her mortality, about how much she loves the player, about the fragility of life). She bends down and kisses the player, then rolls to lay beside them, touching them intimately with one hand while she kisses them. Things escalate from there.

God Gale Ascension EPI_Epilogue_GodGaleAscension

Gale stands in front of their romanced player, smilling.

The player and Gale stand in front of each other. As Gale starts the spell the player looks around in wonder as they're being envelopedby the magic releasing from the orb on Gale's chest.

The orb on Gale's chest begins to glow, his powers manifesting. The player looks around in wonder - they're both being enveloped in a kind of magic - similar to the effect of the Weave in spellteaching, but this is Gale's magic (Different colour?)

The magic surrounding them gathers speed, building it's own momentum. Gale takes the player's left hand with his right one.

The player closes their eyes. They trust him.

A flash of WHITE takes us from the rugged confines of camp to the eternity of the heavens. We don't see the player yet.

The player and Gale are still in the same position, in front of each other with Gale holding the player's hand.

Gale still holding the player's left hand with his right.

The player carefully opens their eyes to their new surroundings, still holding hands. The player slowly lets their hand go from Gale's and inspects themself. Looking down, checking their hands. Happy with the change they look back up at Gale with a smile.

We see the player for the first time. They're no longer a mortal being, but an astral, godlike one. They let go of Gale and inspect their new form (look at hands?). Looks good. They smile at Gale.

God Gale and God player kiss, arms wrapped around each other. In the astral heavens above them we see Gale's symbole flare into life. A second symbol joins it - there's a new god beside him.

- Breakup -

The player slowly steps toward Gale, they both close in for a final kiss and pull each other closer, but then the player pulls away suddenly as though given an electric shock, the power too strong. They reach for their lips in surprise before lowering their hand and looking back at Gale.

Gale and the player share one final kiss. If there's scope - his godly powers are overwhelming for the player, who pulls away as though given an electric shock.

*to edit once clarified* Gale and the player take one last look at each other, sharing a bittersweet smile. Gale takes a step back and turns around (or to his right), leaving the player behind as he slowly walks off on top of the water before floating up.

Gale and the player share a bittersweet smile, before he exits via the same means he arrived.

- Raphael part-

A portal appears - same as the one to House of Hope in Lower City - and Raphael steps out, in his human form. He stands before Gale and the player, with a smile on his face. Gale clicks his fingers and Raphael poofs out of existence - Gale-style VFX magic for the vanishing.

Astarion walks towards gravestone. His steps are thoughtful and with purpose. (Cut to CU camera zooming onto gravestone). He stops and stands very slightly to gravestone's left.

He straightens up once he's done, dusting off his hands as he does so.

Astarion walks up to a gravestone covered in ivy and filth. It's old, cracked, and neglected. He reaches up and tears away the weeds. Underneath, we can see the inscription: \r\n| Astarion Ancunín: 229 - 268 DR| (Note: Needs old gravestone prop with his name. Possible to use ivy plant to cover prop? How tall is gravestone?
