I was thinking more in terms of Manimal Romance Literature --- you know, werebears, werewolves, etc. --- than actually suggesting that hitting on Scratch would be cool. Scratch is Good Boi, a cute dog, a morality compass and dependent on you for affection. And a dog. It's like romancing Minsc or Boo, just no, please.
But, I'll level with you -- I just want one of my MCs to jump Halsin at some point and his whole "in bear form I can bearly control myself" schtick is kind of intriguing. And, we are getting a werewolf Origin at some point in the future, so that's just another layer.
Besides, everyone in this thread knows that BG3 is heading for an illithid romance / tentacle shunga moment; I was not joking with the whole Omeluum / Blurg established couple vibes, and if you or your romanced companion transform at one point, and the relationship is high enough, and you have Omeluum's ring... well, who says that you can't live happily ever after as a cephalopodic couple?
^ why romance of any kind in a video game is cringe.
Luckily for you, romances are entirely optional both in the game and in this forum
