The relationships in Baldur’s Gate 3 are so good that some become jealous – and even delete their partner’s game accounts.
Baldur’s Gate 3 not only allows for a lot of freedom in decisions but also offers plenty of romances. The selection of potential partners is quite large, but not everyone likes that. One example now impressively – and also very sobering – shows how some people can become jealous when someone pursues a relationship in Baldur’s Gate 3.
For some, this jealousy apparently goes so far that they have their partner’s game accounts deleted.
What happened? In the subreddit of Pokemon GO, the 27-year-old “RamuneLive” shared her story. In the post “I believe my partner deleted my Pokemon GO account out of malice,” she recounts how her romance with Wyll in Baldur’s Gate 3 ultimately led to losing access to a beloved game.
RamuneLive explains that she has been in a relationship for over a month and they mainly found each other through Pokemon GO, as both play the game very intensively and invest a lot of time in it. However, one evening her partner was quite sad when she told him that she was trying to start a romance with one of the NPCs in Baldur’s Gate 3.
RamuneLive found her partner’s reaction quite silly and actually didn’t want to continue the relationship – after all, she enjoys such games and relationships are part of games like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley.
But her partner quickly apologized for his behavior, so she gave him another chance.
One morning her partner woke up early and did things around the apartment while she was still sleeping. But shortly after getting up, she received a message when logging into Pokemon GO that her account had been permanently banned. RamuneLive first thought it was a mistake and wanted to simply try to get the ban lifted. After all, she was sure that she had never cheated or violated the rules in any way.
It got really strange when she received the “confirmation of the requested account deletion” a few hours later.
While she was sleeping, her boyfriend grabbed her phone
At first, she couldn’t make sense of it. However, she then looked at the activities on her smartphone and could almost fully reconstruct the “case” from that. Because while she was still sleeping, her boyfriend had apparently grabbed the smartphone and set a lot in motion:
- Her boyfriend had opened Twitter and probably read the private message to a friend in which she was upset about the incident with the NPC relationships.
- Then all messaging services were opened, probably to gather more information. RamuneLive suspects her boyfriend wanted to find out more about this “Wyll.”
- Soon after, the boyfriend opened Pokemon GO and must have initiated the account deletion there.
- After that, he opened Gmail to receive the confirmation code for the deletion and to respond to it. Corresponding emails were probably deleted during this process.
Throughout the post, other users also confirm that this definitely sounds plausible. Especially the “ban message” that some received after they tried to delete their account.
This is how the community reacts: The reactions to this behavior include a multitude of warnings to end such a relationship as quickly as possible and to seek distance. The number of “red flags” for this relationship is so overwhelming that one could decorate entire cities with them:
- “I hope that’s your ex-partner. Get the hell out of there as long as you can and take care of yourself.”
- “Run before a deleted account is the least of your problems. This is a terrifying, childish behavior full of malice on the level of leaking nude photos or character assassination.”
However, the most extensive reaction came from the user Gae_Bulga:
While I don’t know if you can reverse the “ban”: This person is not your partner. There are so many “red flags,” I don’t even know where to start. He is manipulative and lies. He shows jealousy towards you because – and I can’t believe this really exists – romantic stories in fictional stories and games. He doesn’t trust you. He rummages through your things without your permission and messes with them out of malice. If you stay with him, it will only get worse. Please, please get out of this “relationship” before it gets even worse (because it will).
Furthermore, he should no longer have access to your smartphone password or the ability to enter your home. If he ever had a key, change the lock. Look up abusive relationships and read the reports from victims, how they start. This is a textbook example.
Additionally, make sure to reconnect with your friends, as he might have said things to them to ruin your relationship with them and subsequently deleted the evidence.
Do you know such people who react so sensitively to romances with NPCs in a game? And how many kilometers of safety distance do you keep?
