After creating a custom character, you're then promoted to create another character, the one your custom character is dreaming of.
I hope that you get to pick the nature of your relationship with that character. A character seeking another could have many different possibilities.
- A lover/spouse
- A friend
- A mentor or teacher
- A colleague or co-worker
- A parent
- A sibling
- A child
- An enemy or tormenter, or someone you want revenge on
I really hope that you will be able to pick the nature of your relationship with that person, because there's more relationships than just "lover". You should probably also be able to pick that before you finalize creating them, because the choice of your relationship with them could influence what you want them to look.
Your entire premise fails because it is an incomplete representation of what it is actually asked of you.
The games asks, "Who do you dream of ?Who ATTRACTS you?" It is stated right on the character appearance panel. These two questions automatically preclude most of your options, at least in western RPG. jRPGs may very well include you being attracted to children and family members.
The game isn't asking you who you are dreaming of generally speaking, it is specifically asking, show me your dream lover. Why? I have no idea and wont praise or complain until i know more. hell if this was just some round about way to ask about gender preference sexually speaking for a love interest I'd be fine with it. The first games were heavy on the romance, in fact they were ground breaking in adding romance to RPGs. And i assume BG 3 like the BG 2 can have the player ignore romancing characters if they want. The truth is, this wouldn't be a faithful sequel to the series without romances even if some players want nothing to do with them.
