There are plenty of potentially intense romances to get involved in with your Tav in Baldur's Gate 3, ranging from being pummeled by your new 'hot githyanki girlfriend' to getting fresh with a full-grown bear, but none are potentially as hot as the ability to romance Raphael, the silky-tongued proprietor of the House of Hope and heir apparent to the archdevil Mephistopheles.
What a shame, then, that a route to romancing Raphael was strictly off the cards in vanilla BG3. Clearly, this is something that upset modder foundatlantis, as they have moved to rectify Larian's obvious error with the release of Raphael Romance Route – Part 1, a mod that 'adds a new quest that allows the player to romance (or alternatively 'befriend') Raphael.'
