ok so i absolutely think there should be consequences and reactivity for sleeping with other people if you’re romancing someone, but just from a game design perspective, i have come across a bit of an issue

so i slept with the emperor (no reaction), then two nights later i slept with halsin (positive reaction), then two nights later i slept with mizora (possible breakup). and i think that last reaction is completely reasonable, but this series of events, in that order and so close together, definitely sets a precedent

#obviously not everyone is gonna get those events so close together but it’s clearly possible #and again. it’s reasonable. and she’s like..a devil. you’ve gotta expect consequences #i’m not actually upset about this. i’m just coming at it from a design perspective and the kind of impression the player gets #especially after the emperor had no reaction at all!#also i am aware these reactions vary based on who you’re romancing. this combo only happens with astarion #i think the only other person who’s ok with halsin is shadowheart? and she won’t break up with you for sleeping with mizora #so again not everyone is gonna encounter this specific sequence of events #but it absolutely gives you a false sense of security #and god if using a persuasion check on your li doesn’t feel skeezy as hell #personal #bg3 #ash plays bg3
