The romance in the older games didn't feel like aggressive flirtation was shove down her throat without warning, and if it was it didn't feel as real because it was closer to reading a book. Lae'zel's come on in particular, and response to rejection turned out to be a pretty serious trigger and it felt out of nowhere since she hadn't flirted with the character at all.


It will soothe you to know that I also have a sexual trauma, the trauma is however, that I simply cannot get enough sex, so seeing my trusted travel companions ask to deepen their bond with me was a very healing experience for me. It is very interesting how we can have these very different experiences, so I also advocate for a "sex off" button for the other people to press so they can never have sex in their game, while I can.

I cannot change this name anymore, please send help.
The avatar is created by an AI called midjourney, and it is done so by essentially typing text, pretty dope, huh?
