Oh my God.
I don’t think Larian should create a separate character in order to please my preferences and the preferences of other people.
I don't want to close my eyes and imagine that nothing happened. I just want to have a CHOICE. Develop romantic relationships based on spiritual intimacy or not. End it all with sex for one night or not.
I have nothing against bisexual characters, but as you said, it may well be that Astarion will not be interested in women (for example). However, the game does not prevent the player from creating a female character and starting a romantic relationship. Once such a gesture was perceived with hostility in the community, now you are given a choice. Maybe developers should start taking their first steps towards asexuality?
I'm sorry? It's not same.
Based on the communication with Astarion and Lae, you can see that they WANT an intimate relationship. That's why making them asexual or giving them such a function (?) is weird.
Yes, this option can be given to the player and conditionally it is, even now in the romantic scene of Astarion you can say "This is not what I want" (or something similar?), but it OFFENDS HIM because HE WANTS it. That's what it's about. He has desires and he shows it.
He does not show that he would not like men or women... If he showed, as you say "for example", that he doesn't like women, and then slept with a female character, it would look bad, that's what it's about.
And right now he shows you that he really WANTS sex, and then you want him to react with HAPPINESS to the refusal to get it or get an alternative that he did not say a word about... you know what i mean?
It's hard for me to talk about the characters completely we only have the first act. But right now astarion and lae look very horny, and when you ask give an option for horny characters where they approves of a non-intimate relationship, it looks strange, as if you are changing some part of their personality.
I think Larian needs to give the players very visible options to advance also physically or only mentally, if wished for it.
Maybe this will not please Astarion or Lae'zel, but it will intrigue Wyll or Gale?
They should in any case not all be the same.
That would feel very shallow to me.
I also agree with this. That's what I'm talking about. For some characters, this function looks natural, for some it doesn't. Not for everyone, you know?
