Yup. No romance for you if you are male, straight, and actually role-play your PC as good-aligned. For now.
I actually decided to play a lesbian character when I heard everyone was playersexual anyway. If I have to look at my character from the third person all the time, better it be someone I think is attractive. But functionally speaking it's identical in terms of lack of choice. I haven't even gotten to dream about the hot tattooed halfling I created since I don't use the tadpole powers.

I'm missing a normal person you can actually relate to. How about an aspiring human squire who can become a knight in shining armor or a dark blackguard based on your adventures and choices. Why try so hard to make everyone so "different" when it should be more about personalities and choices.
Also, would be nice to get more variety. A good cleric, evil female sorcerer, a living Rogue...
I think Larian mistook what makes for compelling characters. You don't need a weird/unique backstory to make a character interesting. You need the character to have relatable, understandable motives.
So far, Wyll, Asterion, and Gale have all opened up to me enough that I can see hints of their inner pain. In contrast, neither Lae'zel nor Shadowheart want to share a damn thing with me. Which makes it hard to find them compelling, at least on this playthrough.
