In the sprawling, danger-filled world of Baldur's Gate 3, you encounter all sorts. Heroes, villains, and then... there's Lorna. While adventurers are busy saving the city from existential threats, some souls are navigating a different kind of peril: the dating scene. And let's be real, Lorna Esthelian's approach to romance has players collectively facepalming. Seriously, girl? A date... in the sewers? In 2026, with the city on the brink of invasion and a notorious crime lord on the loose, her choice of venue is... a choice.

The Scene of the... Date?

Picture this: You're knee-deep in the Lower City Sewers, the air thick with the scent of... well, sewer. You're hunting for the elusive Stone Lord or the legendary Minsc. The atmosphere is tense. And then you see her. Lorna. An elf, looking utterly lost and completely out of place, just standing in a dimly lit corner. Your first instinct might be to prepare for a fight, but no—she's just... waiting. For a date. In the sewers. The cognitive dissonance is real.

The Concerning Details 😬

The sheer audacity of this setup is what sends players into a spiral. Let's break it down:

  • The Location: A filthy, ooze-infested, foul-smelling underground tunnel system.

  • The Context: People have been going missing. There are posters about it... right near where she's standing. A dangerous crime lord is reportedly lurking in these very tunnels. An army is literally marching on the city. The vibes are, to put it mildly, not good.

  • The "Date": According to Lorna, it's a "skinny, pale-looking guy" she just met. He invited her to an "underground party" and told her to meet him here. Honey, no. Just... no. That's not a party invite; that's the opening line of a horror story.

Players on forums have been losing their minds over her survival instincts (or lack thereof). One player recounted, "I literally screamed at her to leave. Jeez!!!" It's that kind of universal reaction. Another perfectly summed up the community's bewilderment by referencing everyone's favorite vampire: "I see why Astarion told Petras he was never burdened with intelligence... because having a date wait in the sewers? Good lord."

Is It Rizz or Just Risky?

What drives someone to agree to this? Is it sheer, unadulterated gullibility? A desperate hope for connection in a crumbling world? Or maybe, just maybe, that "skinny, pale guy" has some next-level vampire rizz that clouds all judgment. Whatever the reason, Lorna stands as a testament to optimism—or a severe lack of street smarts. In a game filled with mind flayers, cultists, and absolute power, sometimes the most baffling thing is a regular person making a spectacularly bad decision.

The Player's Dilemma

Encountering Lorna creates a unique role-playing moment. Do you:

  • Shake Your Head and Move On: She's an adult (presumably). She makes her own choices, even terrible ones.

  • Try to Reason with Her: Point out the missing person posters, the smell, the general aura of murder.

  • Adopt a Protective Stance: Some players genuinely worry for her pixelated safety and wish they could escort her out.

She represents those moments in RPGs where the game world feels alive with its own strange, small stories. Stories that have nothing to do with saving the world and everything to do with the odd, hopeful, and sometimes foolish hearts within it.

So, here's to Lorna. May her date show up (unlikely), may it not be a trap (very unlikely), and may she someday understand that romance and raw sewage are two concepts that should never, ever meet. In the grand tapestry of Baldur's Gate 3's epic tale, she's a small, confusing, and utterly unforgettable thread. A reminder that even in a fantasy epic, some things are just... universally relatable in their cringe. Girl, we've all been there—but hopefully not literally there, in the actual sewers. 🙄
