Actually I'm not all the bothered about romances of any kind in the game. What I would really like are some options to develop strong friendships. This isn't done enough in games.
The friendship with Morrigan in Dragon Age Origins if you are playing a female character. Its touching, Morrigan opens up that you are the first friend she has ever had, etc.
Can't think of any other examples at the moment but something where you become friends and perhaps influence the NPC in some way (bringing Shadowheart to the light side? I hope that doesn't require a romance).
100% agree. I love developing friendships in character driven games. Morrigan was just so well written overall. I always got bff status with her when I played a female character and her romance arc for a male player was excellent. The game has hinted at developing friendships but the relationships altogether seem very bare bones. So far it feels like our dialogue options don't make an impact on the relationship/friendship development between the characters which is a missed opportunity.
Snippet of BG3 treads on this forum the last 24 hours:
Kink: I want more dirty sex.
Prude: I don't want any sex.
All made in the US of A lol
Chalk me down to wanting more mature themes.
OP was being tongue in cheek here though :p
