    My first playthrough I sent lae’zel straight to camp, never spoke to her again. At some random point before even act 1 ended, her romance dialogue came up.

    My theory is the tadpoles ramp up sex drive to absurd levels, unless you’re shadowheart apparently. Illithid orgies must be incredible.

      Aaah, so it’s a homage to Cronenberg’s 1975 movie Shivers

      Hobbes had developed a parasite that was “a combination of aphrodisiac and venereal disease that will, hopefully, turn the world into one beautiful mindless orgy.”

      Unless you’re shadowheart? I told her I didn’t hate her god and the next day she was hitting me with the “I’ve never had a confidant quite like you… You’re very special to me…”

        She hadn’t even told me about the religious stuff yet when the option came up. Although if you read her mind about it as a woman, not only is she dead serious, she’s deeply confused and embarrassed to be realizing she’s bisexual.

        No interest in doing a male file in order to find out whether Gale, Wyll, etc. would react with the same awkwardness, but I felt that. Normally, the devs just address it by making everyone openly bi from the get-go, and I appreciated the smallest shred of realism.

        On one front, if not the other. I’m not really interested in a lot of her fighting style, so we’ve barely spoken.
