I had wondered at first if it was just to open up for a chance to let us see the romance/sex option that they tried to sell for BG3, but then the sex scenes aren't even finished. I agree with you. It was weird. I literally had no chemistry with anyone save for Asterion and Gale up to that point, so anyone else wanting to bone just felt weird and surprising. DAI did companions extremely well, while this just feels disjointed.
