In a surprising turn of events, a player in Baldur’s Gate 3 was actually defeated and killed by their romance companion, Lae’Zel. The deadly encounter occurred when Lae’Zel proposed a friendly fight to test their compatibility, resulting in a swift defeat for the player.
Baldur’s Gate 3 offers a multitude of captivating features, including combat, diverse characters, rich lore, and immersive world-building. However, one aspect that always captures players’ attention is the romance. While some companions can be easily romanced, others require more effort to win over. Lae’Zel falls into the latter category, and her romance can even turn bloody, as evidenced by this incident.
Romancing Lae’Zel in Baldur’s Gate 3 revolves around violence, combat prowess, strength, and dominance. As a Githyanki, she adheres to her own rules and expects her partner to do the same. When she proposes testing compatibility through a fight, it becomes a life-or-death situation. Of course, players have the option to flee if they are not inclined towards such confrontations, but Lae’Zel is unlikely to let them escape unscathed.
Some players may attempt to level the playing field by unequipping Lae’Zel’s weapons and items, forcing her to fight barehanded. However, as a Fighter, she possesses exceptional resilience, deals significant damage, and can perform multiple actions in a single turn with her Action Surge ability. Consequently, victory against her is a daunting task.
Having a Fighter as a companion is generally advantageous in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, when it comes to romancing one, particularly Lae’Zel, be prepared for bruises and bloodshed, as it seems to be the Githyanki way of setting the mood.
Regardless of the outcome (as long as the player manages to survive), Lae’Zel expresses satisfaction with the compatibility test. However, emerging victorious in the fight leads to a more passionate romance scene with a touch of tenderness, while defeat prompts Lae’Zel to confess her desire to protect the player and her reluctance to cause harm.
If you ever wondered whether romancing Lae’Zel in Baldur’s Gate 3 would be a challenge, the answer is a resounding yes, accompanied by stubbornness and brawls.
