Can you romance more than one companion in Baldur’s Gate 3?

The prayers of all you polyamorous romancers have been answered, you can indeed romance multiple companions at once in Baldur’s Gate 3! Although, making your companions like you, and like each other, can be a difficult task. Some may prefer to be monogamous with you, while others are open to the idea of multiple romances. It really depends on your dialogue choices, and how well you get to know these characters.

You’ll have to experiment and figure out whether or not you think the polyamorous romance is going to work. For example, Shadowheart and Lae’zel nearly hate each other, so I wouldn’t think they would be keen on polyamory together. But perhaps Karlach and Astarion, or even Halsin and Shadowheart could work.
