I kind of wish not every character was interested in the PC at least. I get why they made it this way. Player choice and all that. If you're playing a male character you should be able to still romance Gale or Astarion or whatever it is you want.

But at the same time it does make things a little awkward if you're trying to form plutonic relationships. As-is I don't think it is possible to just be good friends with Gale. He wants to bone, and you have to reject him.

There is something special about strong plutonic relationships based on mutual respect and admiration in which neither side has sexual interest in the other, and the game is missing out on that experience right now.
