Baldur's Gate 3: Discover Which Characters Bond the Most
Baldur's Gate 3 has captivated fans and gamers alike since its release. A dedicated fan recently took on the task of analyzing thousands of lines of dialogue to discover which characters have the most affinity with each other. This intriguing mission involved delving into the game's approval and disapproval mechanics to reveal the moral alignments of characters like Astarion, Karlach, and Shadowheart. The findings have sparked excitement and curiosity among the game's community.
Discovering Character Affinities
The fan, known as Tarrasque-Named-John on Reddit, used datamining techniques to explore the intricate relationships between Baldur's Gate 3 characters. By examining the approval and disapproval messages that appear during gameplay, they uncovered which characters most often agree or disagree with the player's decisions.
The results were fascinating. Minsc and Karlach emerged as the most aligned companions, agreeing on 97% of decisions. Close behind were pairs like Wyll/Halsin and Jaheira/Halsin, each aligning at 96%.
Who Disagrees the Most?
On the flip side, some characters just can't seem to see eye to eye. Astarion and Wyll were the least aligned, agreeing on only 50% of decisions. Other notable mismatches included Minthara and Halsin at 51%, and Wyll/Minthara and Karlach/Astarion at 52%.
Best Friends Forever?
Tarrasque-Named-John also calculated potential "best friends" by looking at the total number of agreements, regardless of percentage. Astarion and Lae'zel, for instance, would be best friends by this measure. Other friendships included Karlach and Gale, and Wyll and Shadowheart. It's an interesting way to imagine the social dynamics within the game.
- Astarion - Best friend: Lae'zel
- Karlach - Best friend: Gale
- Wyll - Best friend: Shadowheart
- Minsc - Best friend: Karlach
- Minthara - Best friend: Astarion
- Halsin - Best friend: Wyll
What's Next for Baldur's Gate 3?
These character dynamics are based on data from Patch 7, but with Patch 8 on the horizon, things might change. Expected in 2025, the new patch will introduce 12 new subclasses and more characters, potentially reshaping the game's social landscape.
