But the minorty that killed her would not have even seen 1 lesbian couple.

I have seen 0 gay couples.

I have seen 0 bi characters (I'll get into the companions later)

I have seen 1 woman who may have been trans or queer. These are:

  • Astarion
  • Shadowheart
  • Lae’zel
  • Gale
  • Wyll
  • Karlach
  • Halsin
  • Minthara

Other companions that have been mentioned are Jaheira and Minsc, though neither of them are able to be romanced.

This indie hit focuses on a queer Asian-American woman, Jala, who's also nominated for the best LGBTQ character of the year. Previous Baldur’s Gate games haven’t exactly been great at LGBTQ+ representation. Taken upon their ship, the Mind Flayers insert a tadpole in your head that, inevitably, will also transform you into a Mind Flayer unless you yoink that sucker out fast.

Freeing her was the good option, so it is fair to say that most players did so. There are multiple NPCs you can meet (Barcus Wroot, Lakrissa, Alfira, etc.) who are queer, and each has fascinating backstories that make them seem more real rather than just a backdrop.

What’s more, there is even a vital storyline in Act 2 that has the potential to have two star-crossed lovers reunite – both of whom are women.



I have no idea about Halsin. He talks about "travelling with the herd" or something. Critics say that it is excessive right now, so how much LGBTQ-content are we talking about?

Up to the starting area of Act 3, this is what I have encountered so far. I have played the game for over 200 hours (including early access, and I started a few different campaigns to try things out; my main campaign has about 90 hours playtime).

So far I have enountered 1 lesbian couple.

She was a tiefling maybe, so maybe what looked to me like a woman with some masculine features was just a regular. But Astarion is not flirting at all. But that was not my intention, so naturally I never picked that option. I don't and he has not tried to flirt with me at all.

Wyll: I don't know whether there is something between him and that patron of his.

Not a popular solution I reckon, because it also means that some female companions will no longer be available for male player romance.

The more popular solution is to give players the option to set their own orientation (so straight males won't be approached by Gale, for example), or to toggle the orientation of the companions.

Having this many LGBTQ-characters is excessively disproportional to how uncommon LGBTQ is in the real world.

As far as we know, there will be 7 companions for you to romance. That makes the game world less believable.

He basically tells you as much the moment he joins you. Larian used the acceptance speech as an opportunity to call out the sheer amount of layoffs in the gaming industry.

After three years in early access and six years in development, Baldur’s Gate 3 has finally, officially arrived.

All told, we are talking about literally 4, maybe 5, LGBTQ NPCs and 5 cut-scene dialogues a handful of minutes long during a 90 hour campaign.
