Mae is a Baldur’s Gate 3 player who aims to complete the game in this way, also known as a speedrunner. Recently, Mae showed off their efforts in a run uploaded to YouTube where they manage to sleep with the githyanki fighter Lae’zel in less than eight minutes.The romance options for the player in Baldur’s Gate 3 are Astarion, Gael, Halsin, Karlach, Lae’zel, Minthara, Shadowheart and Wyll.
