When you can't romance Raphael

We take drastic measures :)

I love the shenanigans players do in this game! Great idea too, might have to pull this on some of my fave NPCs.

[@IWasBoredAgain]

Go for it. They don’t have to know. ❤❤

[@Louves192]

Aww congratulations on your marriage! ❤

[@IWasBoredAgain]

Aw, thank you so much! You're invited to the wedding party outside the house of hope. Outside, because he won't let me in. ❤

Where is that Ring of Blood Oath from?

[@IWasBoredAgain]

It's from the blood alliegance mod.

[@IWasBoredAgain]

My mistake. It's from this mod. www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/3596

Can you do some mod shenanigans? I haven't used the model replacement mod but perhaps you can use it to get some fun wedding shots xD And if you can't add Raphael as a replacement model, I would definitely ask the mod makers. They help us get up to some pretty wild shite in this game. I guess it makes sense, him not being romanceable..... Since his Incubus flat out tells you that he's in love with himself. :( Also that he's a bad lay but that's neither here nor there.

Model replacement mod might appear in a future Bg3 crack video I'm planning on. I'm not close to any mod makers so I'm not sure how far I can go to make a full blown wedding. I've only ever made appearance mods for myself. I won't claim anything because that's what larian's supposed to do but "I only love myself" is a defense mechanism that lonely people, including I have used. Because who else will truly care about him besides himself. Still, He's a narcissist for sure. That's what makes him an interesting character. I'm not expecting him to ever love me. I just want to see the story unfold. If larian does decide to add in his romance later, I look forward to seeing how that goes. I've never had a savior complex so I won't be "fixing" him, but that doesn't mean I'll be joining him to rule the world either. Both ideas are bland and overused. We'll just have to see where the plot goes if they add in an expansion pack. As for him being bad in bed, I guess it would be disappointing for some women and some bottom men. However, it's never a problem for "pleasure" tops. Larian neglected adding positions in the romances so I was happy to tears when I heard he's a bottom. :)

​@@IWasBoredAgain So I almost always romance Astarion and it's probably because of that, since Star is always in my party, that I actually like Raphael. The interactions between the two of them are hilarious. >.> My Durge's are usually not murdery enough to get some of Raphael's funnier dialog though. I've tried but I'm just not a murder muffin.... There is obviously some story there for him so he really should be a romance option. I mean.....Raphael has THREE DAMN JOURNALS! He abducted Hope and drove her batshite crazy because he couldn't understand how she could be so kind. That and I believe one of the HoH's NPCs mentions Mephistopheles intentionally sabotaging Raphael's plans. Didn't matter the plan, just dad being a dick. OMG being able to specify preferred position at the beginning of the game would make more sense than customizing genitals right? It's not like we're gonna ever see hardcore insertion so who cares what my girl's labia look like? But favourite sexual position could actually be shown in the "soft core" way that Larian went for, ya know? For a wedding scene with Raphael I think you would have to look at the available cutscenes, install Raphael over the companion and then use a camera mod to take custom footage? I dunno. It sounds neat but it also sounds complicated.

[@IWasBoredAgain]

@@Ectava No sweat. A wedding scene will definetly make it to a future crack video. You don't have to be a murder hobo to get a lot of Raphael's lines. A lot of the lines I used in his edit were from the "good" playthrough. To get some of his extra lines, Astarion can't be in the party when you speak to him unfortunately for the Starmancers. There's only one time you need to be really bad in order to get one of his other lines. That's when you kill all of last light before speaking to him. Larian definitely left Raphael's story in the dirt at some point. Which is the reason why I'm hoping for an Avernus expansion with Raphael's romance, especially if the player gave him the crown. I know what you mean. I was hoping one of the modders might do a switch positions mod but I haven't seen anything like that yet.

[@Ectava]

@@IWasBoredAgain So talking to some of my modder friends, a lot of them have mentioned getting spoiled by newer games. BG3 is an older style and it's more difficult to rip the models from the game in order to do stuff with them. One of them has been trying, to no avail, to splice a camera mod and better/longer/sexier sex scenes together but he has repeatedly told me that he's just gotten absolutely lazy because of his Cyberpunk mods xD He's actually thinking of getting a couple of other modders to help because it's going to be a big project. I mentioned the idea of position switching to him and he said it may not be doable with some character models because of the mocap. Still, it was worth a shot to ask. ^-^ He did say it was an interesting idea though. He also mentioned getting on Larian's forums and posting the idea because apparently if it gets enough traction with fans, it may appear in DLC or the Definitive edition. So if nothing else! Go harass Larian

[@IWasBoredAgain]

@@Ectava Well! thank you for asking your friends. It's amazing to know how much people want the same. Harassing Larian is easy because that's what I've already been doing for a while now. ❤
