Baldur's Gate 3 Datamine Reveals Even More Kissing Animations
Forget all of the branching paths and RPG combat mechanics - the best part of Baldur's Gate 3 is being able to kiss your love interest on command. Admittedly, the feature has been pretty basic, as everyone shared the same kissing animation - until now.

Right now, most characters just have the same kissing animation. Even Karlach, who just got an upgraded kiss, only has the same one play over again on a loop. Trust me, I have kissed her a lot to
