The speedrunning community surrounding Baldur’s Gate 3 has focused on many complex feats to match the game’s immense scope. Along with the traditional goals, such as clearing the game as quickly as possible, a smaller community of players has taken to a less conventional feat – romancing party members as quickly as possible. And as it turns out, the one party member that’s been the quickest to find intimacy with is the notoriously prickly party member Lae’zel.
However, the recent Patch #4 for Baldur’s Gate 3 that just launched today has led to a catastrophic change that has disrupted the BG3 romancing speedrunners. Following the patch, Lae’zel has now upped her standards significantly, and she’s no longer that easy to romance.
