In the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, players have always been intrigued by romantic opportunities, but the option to woo Raphael, a silky-tongued cambion, was missing in the original version. This gap is now being filled by foundatlantis, who crafted a mod called Raphael Romance Route – Part 1 that introduces a new quest to romance or befriend him.

When players engage with Raphael at the Last Light Inn during Act 2, they can start a new adventure with him if they help Mol win at a game of Lanceboard, leading to new dialogue and the addition of a mysterious White Pawn Piece in their inventory.

The mod is currently in beta and includes unique dialogue depending on the player’s class or race, with particular excitement around the options for Wyll and Gale. However, it is advised to avoid using the mod in critical playthroughs due to existing bugs.

There’s a lot of creative work behind this mod, which features Easter eggs and references to various cultural touchstones including Shakespeare and Hamilton.

Overall, this mod expands the potential for storytelling in Baldur’s Gate 3, and many fans are keenly awaiting further updates as issues are resolved.
