The whole romance thing is just out of the blue. You are in a party talking to someone you barely know, and suddenly from nowhere they tell you "if you weren't so bad to me maybe I would've allowed you to be with me tonight"... what is this? I don't even know you guys? why every single companion suddenly need to tell me how they will or won't have sex with me? and if they don't like me why be so passive aggressive and tell me how I missed the chance to sleep with them? people don't talk like this, it's weird.
Yes, exactly. There needs to be more leading up to their interest in us. Like I love romances in games, I just wish they were a bit more fleshed out. I also tried messing with the tadpole a bit, got those dreams and stuff I spoke of earlier, I think I understand why Larian was asking us to play evil - cause as of now, these dreams and getting these tadpole powers fleshes the companions out a bit, but yeah, you only get these cutscenes IF you use the illithid tadpole options on people.
For example during one of these cutscenes, you feel sick and Lae wants to kill you and everyone in the party. After you sleep and get that dream with that person of your dreams from character creation, you go to having a daytime in your camp, you can talk to each companion, they also had weird dreams and you can share your experiences with them, or get them mad at you. I wish there was something similar if you DON'T use the tadpole powers AT ALL, like you having dreams, but of a different kind perhaps? Something is better than nothing. Like for example, you could have a dream about the tadpole wondering why you don't succumb instead of the offers of more power you get when you use it.
