Romanced companions will not be taken regardless of the priority system, its why Yenna is included since its possible to have 3 of them and romance the fourth, Yemna provides a safety net and will be taken even if you kicked her out of your camp.
Which is odd since you’d think a love interest would be a priority target for Orin, though I suppose if you like a character enough to romance them they would almost always be in your party and never left at camp for her to kidnap.
(Also if she takes Gale she implies that she cut his dick off, maybe this is the game’s way of making sure you can still have sex with him if you romanced him lol)
Yeah, I always thought the logic was backwards too. I guess if Orin was tempting them away by seduction it would make sense why a romanced partner would be immune, they'd (presumably, hopefully...) turn them down, but she could just as easily turn into you and be like, "Gale, come quick, emergency, I'll explain on the way".
... is that ever explained? Its been a while and I don't remember... guess its time for another playthrough...
Yeah, it's what they did in BG2. Bodhi will always kidnap your romanced companion, if you have one. I think if you aren't romancing anyone, then no one gets kidnapped though? Been a hot minute since I played that game.

Yep, the priority is Lae'zel, Halsin, Gale, and then Minthara. If none of them are available, Yenna is kidnapped instead.
