Baldur’s Gate 3 players reveal “worst possible” breakup moment
The discussion surrounding the topic was started by a Reddit user who mentioned the Shar temple where Shadowheart commits to the player and expresses their love. However, as a player, you have the option to accept her proposal or deny it, despite her being quite vulnerable at that moment.
This prompted the Reddit user to discuss with others what they think is the “worst possible moment,” to break up with a companion. As it happens, players did have some really interesting answers to this question.

One such player highlighted one such moment responding, “In Act 3 you can Betray Shadowheart to Mother Superior Viconia, and let her be taken in for ‘re-education’ aka mind-wiping,” before also claiming, “You’re not s*****g over Shadowheart out of greed for some reward- you’re doing it out of a total apathy toward her and her journey as a character.”
Another player chimed in, “I can imagine all the emotional damage and guilt of sleeping with Mizora and breaking up with Wyll,” while a different user replied, “Telling Gale he was fine in bed and saying you want it to just be a one-night stand after he pours his heart out to you.”
One of the most brutal break-ups was shared by a user who commented, “Sleeping with Karlach then dumping her for someone else. She f*****g HATES you after this.”
It looks like there are some terrible ways you can break up with your partner. However, a lot of the players decided not to go with that as they felt it was a terrible choice to emotionally shatter the characters and damage the relationships.
