Is it just me or is the whole Karlach romance EXTREMELY well done? I know I'm a big ol' weird softie and your mileage may vary, but it had me laughing and crying and cheering!

I just couldn't help but feel her frustration, be touched by her love for my fictional avatar and her giddiness the morning after is one of if not THE most touching example of infectious giddy happiness I've ever seen in a game, he'll in any fiction at all!

Hats off to the the team who created, drew and brought to life the visual aspects of the character and to Samantha Béart for a masterful achievement in voice acting!

Yeah, I was at the beginning of Act 3 when I realised that I had irrevocably missed out on it. I had to start a new game from scratch and follow a guide, but it was absolutely worth it!

The romances could do with a bit of an overhaul, in my opinion. Feels like several of them have weird pacing, and so many characters go from 0-100 in the blink of an eye. You say a single affirmation to Halsin and he acts like he's been in love with you his whole life and you're soulmates. Dude, I just offered you a drink at a celebration out of common courtesy.

With every other NPC being so horny it's actually been refreshing to have Karlach just behave like a buddy in my playthrough, but in general for the Karlach romance to be so fiddly you need to follow a guide to not lock yourself out of it just sounds... poorly implemented.

Yeah it's fiddly for sure, but the payoff is more than worth the bother IMO 🤷
