Step aside bears and combustible infernal legionnaires, Shadowheart reigns supreme in the Baldur’s Gate 3 romance scene as over half the player base has chosen her to be their lifelong partner in love (or crime, depending on who you’re asking).
On Dec. 5, Baldur’s Gate 3 developers posted a new breakdown of player statistics on X (formerly Twitter), detailing many interesting player facts, including which characters were romanced the most. Shadowheart, the troubled goth elf pursuing her destiny, has come out on top, with 51.3 percent of all players successfully romancing her. Karlach follows Shadowheart on the number two spot, and Lae’Zel somehow sits at number three, which is perhaps the most eerie BG3 fact I’ve ever heard.
