For a more complete experience, remember the sound. There are various music mods which add songs to certain scenes. Some mods add ambient camp dialogue as well. For example, a soft romantic song for Natasha in her Act 2 scene could greatly change the feel of that scene instead of using the regular camp music. There are also small voice barks (none too long or out of place) added for combat and exploration alike, which make her feel even more present in the story. These various mods enhance the atmosphere of the existing story and are meant to complete the world in which the romance story takes place, rather than replacing the core of the story with an alternate version of events. And sometimes mood equals words.

It’s probably easiest to just start a new playthrough. Follow all of the approval tips that you read on the forums (get approval high as quickly as possible, rest frequently, keep attention focused). Occasionally a save file just gets corrupted in a way that can’t be fixed without mods. That would be awful. Very time consuming, though.

No. That would ruin a lot of great things about the fandom, in my opinion. Every morally ambiguous character needs to be romanced by every protagonist in the story. It's better that way. And there's nothing that says every intense relationship has to end in a kiss. The intense history between Wyll and Mizora is deeply toxic. All of the bitterness and twisted intimacy of their deal is what makes their situation so compelling. Turning it all into a romance would somehow ‘fix’ it all and ruin it.
This would also miss the point of a deep, complex, story driven relationship in the game. The relationship with the cambion focusses on a deep story about obligation, regret and reclaiming one’s soul. Turning her into a romanceable character would turn this in to just another villain-banging simulator. It would also clash greatly with the heroic profile of the Blade of Frontiers, Wyll. Can you imagine the hero of the story settling down with a cambion who gets off on the suffering of others? The doors that are not meant to be opened should not be opened. There are plenty of other complex relationships in the game that could be just as interesting, just in different ways.

I'd really like to see what happens after a failed save in terms of giving in to a minor impulse while she's around, or getting caught in a lie about your actions. Presumably there are a number of disapproval dialogues and possibly even a number of break-up triggers. Those failure cases can be just as richly narrated as success cases, and relationships falling apart under extreme stress can be just as compelling a story as them coming together in the first place. It would be really tragic and compelling to see what breaks Karlach's unshakeable loyalty and prompts her to say "enough".

When you’re trying to resist the Dark Urge to become evil in a story, being in a loyal romance is your strongest storyteller mechanic to remain good. Your partner can talk you down from the edge, prevent certain scenarios from playing out and even help write you out of sticky situations. Burning that bridge by cheating on them, however, removes that check on your behavior and has far-reaching consequences that can even alter the soul of your protagonist and change the ending for you.

Installing this mod changes the tone of your game, adds new scenes and changes interactions with certain characters. Note that this does not modify your save game in any way; it simply loads in a different story module for you to play through. As a result of installing this, you are no longer playing through the standard heroic journey, and are instead treated to a far darker and twisted tale of power and corruption. This is one of the most interesting choices that the game has to offer, and whether or not the consequences of installing this are good or not depends entirely on the type of story you are trying to experience. To me, this is good.

A lot of people have commented on this before, and generally it works for a ‘redeemed’ or resistant Durge, but not so much for an ‘embrace’ Durge (since Halsin gained approval of the hero Durge through heroic actions, it would be somewhat difficult to maintain a high approval rating as a monster). But that would be some fun metagaming, in order to do good things in front of Halsin and evil things when he isn’t around. Of course, all of this would depend on good roleplaying of the Urge that you’re hiding, and of your hidden duplicity from your lover. Some really dark and complex roleplaying could be created here, and while there may not be specific written content for it, the scenario you create could be extremely rich.

Anomen’s romance is all about seeing worth in him despite his usual flaws. His entire self-esteem is rooted in becoming a knight and redeeming his family name. As he struggles along the way, you help him realize that he has worth even when he fails. When he finally succeeds, you help keep his ego in check. The Anomen romance explores ways to challenge toxic masculinity and deal with the incredible pressure that our culture puts on its males. Sure, Anomen is a jerk at times, but he’s also a product of a rather demanding and strict culture, and it’s up to you to help him find his way to either change or peace with himself.

Trying to make Minthara work on a good-aligned run is sort of mentally strenuous to attempt. Minthara isn’t cute, Minthara isn’t lenient towards good creatures - she is drow, and an exceptionally brutal one at that. As described in her write-up, she completely masterminded the mass-kill of a tiefling refugee camp. You had to side with the goblin camp to bring her to your party, helping to orchestrate said slaughter.
Trying to justify it to access the romance content would feel like stretching to an extreme to alter one’s character in order to gain access to Minthara’s unique romance story. It could be headcanoned that Minthara is slowly redeemed from her evil ways later on in the story, but the act that kickstarts the romance is so evil and repulsive that it would taint the entire rest of the playthrough. Instead, it would serve as a narrative paradox that the player would have to ignore in order to gain access to the content that they desire.

I just wanted to add my two cents to this discussion, but really I have no idea what others think, because I have simply befriended her (no idea she saw it that way). Interesting.
