In Baldur's Gate 3, Larian studio has made a number of romantic options available to players. These are primarily focused on the companions traveling with the player. By taking certain actions and making specific decisions, your companions can grow closer to your main character over time, opening up the potential for developing intimate relationships.
What if we are interested in more than one character? Is it even possible to have a polyamorous relationship and multiple romances? It turns out that the answers to these questions are not so obvious.
Can you romance multiple companions in BG3?
The short answer to this question is - yes. Baldur's Gate 3 allows for intimate relationships with multiple companions at the same time in certain situations. Important to note is that not all heroes will respond to such actions in the same way.

For example, characters such as Halsin or Karlach will probably have nothing against an open relationship and flirting with other heroes. On the other hand, Gale or Gloomy Heart will require more direct involvement and exclusive romantic interest from you. For these characters there is an option to break off another romance and focus on a monogamous relationship.
Also note, you can only spend the night with one companion at a time.
Issues with multiple relationships
Although it's possible to lead a polyamorous relationship with selected characters, building relationships with companions might be challenging.

To win over certain heroes, you'll need to perform specific actions that these characters will appreciate. However, they can fundamentally differ from each other. For example: deeds full of compassion, assistance and altruism will appeal to genuinely good Wyll or Gale, however, morally ambivalent Astarion will consider them as signs of weakness.
A solution to this problem could be taking turns with the heroes from the camp on quests and arranging them within similar value systems. In this way, you can make decisions that will be appreciated by those currently traveling in your party.

Finally, it's worth noting that selected companions can show their minor likes and dislikes. Shadowheart for example, will be dissatisfied with the player's close relationship with Lae'zel, which is related to her aversion to the Githyanki. Gale, on the other hand, seems to show positive feelings towards other wizards.
