Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to surprise players with new interactions, and one recent discovery involves a romantic cutscene with Lae’zel that has left many players emotional. The scene occurs early in the game during a quest in the Owlbear Cave, where Lae’zel initiates a romantic encounter despite the gruesome circumstances.
During my own playthrough of BG3, my friends and I encountered the same situation with the Owlbear mother and cub. However, we did not have Lae’zel in our party, so we were spared the unexpected romance. Nevertheless, this unexpected turn of events is in line with Lae’zel’s character and has been well-received by the BG3 community.
Some players on Reddit expressed their approval, stating that Lae’zel’s boldness and lack of hesitation are true to her personality. They believe that after a battle with a giant beast, covered in blood and guts, it is not surprising for her to make such advances.
Since the release of BG3, Larian Studios has made adjustments to the romantic interactions in response to player feedback. This suggests that the inclusion of the Lae’zel cutscene was intentional, adding an element of surprise and variety to the game.
This romantic cutscene involving Lae’zel and the Owlbear Cave is undoubtedly one of the most unusual encounters in BG3. It may even entice players to start a new playthrough just to witness it firsthand. However, the emotional impact of leaving the Owlbear Cub orphaned again may deter some from experiencing it.
