_Eager to get me on my knees, Raphael__ Baldur's Gate 3 mod lets you romance the silk-tongued cambio
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
There are plenty of potentially intense romances to get involved in with your Tav in , ranging from to , but none are potentially as hot as the ability to romance Raphael, the silky-tongued proprietor of the House of Hope and heir apparent to the archdevil Mephistopheles.
What a shame, then, that a route to romancing Raphael was strictly off the cards in vanilla BG3. Clearly, this is something that upset modder foundatlantis, as they have moved to rectify Larian's obvious error with the release of , a mod that 'adds a new quest that allows the player to romance (or alternatively 'befriend') Raphael.'
BETA the devil you know
Which gets us to the crux of the matter with the Raphael Romance Route - Part 1 mod—right now it is firmly in beta and, unfortunately, demonstrating a few pretty critical bugs. These include Lae'zel totally disappearing from the cage in Act 1, as well as that long resting from outside of camp does not teleport the player back to camp. So, while foundatlantis has said they are investigating these issues for future fixes, for right now they have specifically said that this mod should not be installed in any honor mode playthrough, or a playthrough that the gamer is heavily connected to. Simply put, it could bork it up.
Further, while there is an extensive dialogue tree in this Raphael romance mod, as you might expect from a project such as this, there is no voice acting from Raphael's voice actor Andrew Wincott, with the mod's creator inviting those Tavs with a devil fetish to 'just like, imagine' the silky sounds of this smooth operator while engaging in some flirting fun.
Therefore, to me this is a mod to keep an eye on unless you've got a bank of game saves on tap from previous, non-critical runs. If you've got many Baldur's Gate 3 saves and, even better, got saves at the start of Act 2, before you've visited the Last Light Inn, then experimenting with this mod will likely be easy and fun. Install, head to the Last Light, get chatting up Raphael.
However, due to the bugs and early beta state of the mod, I think most gamers will likely be best served by waiting a few months before returning to the Raphael Romance Route mod, as by then there's a good chance that foundatlantis will have had the time to develop the mod to a state where it is more bug-free.
From my perspective, any expansion to the game's deep web of potentials is to be welcome, and especially so considering we are on the verge of getting Baldur's Gate 3's , which delivers with it 12 exciting new sub-classes to play. I personally will be beginning multiple new playthroughs as soon as that patch drops, so hopefully, I can look forward to romancing Raphael in the very near future as a very Drunken Master monk.
