Different strokes and all that.
Nothing wrong with a polyamorous opportunity within the game if done right, just as I would like to see characters only interested in slow burn single relationships before anything, kinda like Shadowheart appears to be.
Witcher 3 was fun in this regard, Yennefer was “unhappy” but understood the needs of a Witcher and the flirtatious powers of other sorceresses, but when it came to actual love she wanted you all to herself, thus trying to bed both Yennefer and Triss at the same time yielded hilarious results (and I loved that the choice was so hard that choosing that 3rd cop out was there and that it resulted in failure). You had to pick yes, but both gave you time to do so. It felt mature (enough) often surprisingly intimate and in keeping with the world it was set in.
Here it feels a little forced for the moment, very much a “pick me pick me” affair and not very natural, even for just a spontaneous fling, but perhaps that’s more down to how you initiate dialogue with static campers.
Maybe if the party felt like a party, with more cut scenes before you got into your one on ones it might feel better. You know, Wyll might try to play the wing man, or Astarion... showing you how each character looks or feels in this moment.
Look, Laezel is a Gith and she just has needs, if that’s your thing, but Shadowheart there, all reclusive, tread Carey there my friend...
That might all come, and I hope it does, because whilst some lament the Witcher for being more an interactive movie, those cinematic approaches and interactions made me care, and for me that’s key in any story.
