BG3: Shadowheart and Lae'zel
I didn't really see the appeal of Shadowheart/Lae'zel at first, and I still wouldn't actually play that specific romance, but the more time goes by, the more I see where people are coming from.
Almost all the ambient party conversation, at least in my party, is just them sniping at each other, and Lae'zel seems honestly ... frustrated? hurt? something by Shadowheart's antipathy. She's like, well, if my presence bothers you that much Shadowheart maybe you should just leave instead of scowling all the time. And Shadowheart's just "do I look like I'm going to turn my back to you" because of course she is. I can only imagine what it's like if you are Shadowheart or Lae'zel and how that romance would play out—there's just a ton of intensity and aggression-that-might-be-partly-UST. I want to see how Shadowheart/Karlach goes in my Shadowheart game, though!
The rest of the ambient conversation is basically Gale being pleasant or Larissa trying to rope everyone into getting along for five minutes.
