Comment on [Spoiler Warning: Baldurs Gate 3] Karlach romance

My first playthrough was the same thing, but I think it’s because I picked her up so late in Act 1. I have no actual data but I think that if you don’t have a certain level of approval with her when you

have her heart tuned the first time

you miss out on romancing her for the rest of the game. For my playthrough, I basically picked her up, and started progressing through her quest immediately, and already that the item needed to finish her act 1 storyline; I think that’s what locked me out. Again, I’m just speculating, though.

That would explain it, though not make it any less poorly designed. I also picked her up just at the very end of Act 1 and already had plenty of the item needed.

I have a similar lockout problem.

During a camp scene both Gale and Karlach (and Shadowheart) offered to spend the evening with me.

I spoke with Gale first (at random) and his spend the evening was just “show some magic” which I didn’t realize was code. Karlach made no mention of Gale but did a fist pump when I agreed. When I finally spoke with Shadowheart she mentioned that I already had plans (unless?).

Then the Gale romance scene happened and Karlach never brought it up again. Nearly everyone else in the camp gave me a romance option and Karlach and I had a nice moment after fixing her heart the second time, but I think it’s just broken.

Additionally Shadowheart has always had the romance option since it first appeared. I skipped it since we’re just homies, but I think Karlach is locked out for me.

  if that nice moment with her was both seated talking, then that’s the first scene. One thing you can do with followers once their approval is high enough, is to go back to act 1 and spam partial long rests to trigger the remaining act 1 scenes. Then go to act 2 and do the same to see if new ones pop up.
