Edit: Just for interests sake ( video ). Ultimately I think that arguments about what is and isn't '' realistic and practical '' in a fantasy setting that isn't a simulator are kinda silly unless we're talking about extreme cases. I mean even with '' chain bikinis '', loincloths warriors are still a thing in Baldur's Gate. But thematically I can at least understand the argument against '' chain bikinis '' in a setting like Baldur's Gate. Even if the equivelant but in leather still exists and uh, there's plenty of male NPC's already in loincloths and random pieces of plate the equivelant of '' chain bikinis ''...
That video you linked is really on point and I agree with much that you said.
Honestly, the entire debate regarding appearances, usefulness, realism etc in games when it comes to armor feels more or less irrelevant. I mean, we're talking about a world where there is *MAGIC* - if a bikini (regardless of fabric/material) gives you an invulnerability-bubble, then yes - people would use that irl. Or if you randomly got physically stronger by putting on a boobie-plate. People would use that irl too.
The entire debate basically always sums up to "this does not suit MY idea of this universe" - which is fine. But then we can all agree on that it is nothing more than a personal opinion. Which is as fine as any other opinion, of course. And hence, I believe all people should get whatever they prefer. The people who don't wanna use the bikini-plate should not have to, but the people who want to should be able to do so!
Whiiiiich, brings me to what I wanted to say all along but got side-tracked, I really, really hope that "transmogs", "outfits" or anything similar will be a thing (because this was really killing me in DOS2 >.< ). The way our character dress is really important in the aspect of roleplaying - but unfortunately, in a game based on stats and other magical values - a lot of people have to choose stat-sticks rather than their appearance-preferences.
If nothing else, I hope our modders got our back. I really don't wanna have to choose between functionality and style. Would make for a good separate thread!

So, regarding the actual topic - I am pretty sure I saw some people witnessing about actually triggering a romance scene with Wyll. I can't speak for myself as I didn't romance anyone - but if I recall correctly, they said that there wasn't any actual sex but rather something similar to SH? Can anyone vouch for this?
