I don't really have an opinion about teh varieties of romances, since I'm as romantic as a stone

, though I must say, I like the beginning of the Shadowheart romance. It's no coincidence, that she is my favorite companion so far.
Oh, absolutely, I get very excited whenever I see non-sexual intimacy represented in mediums. The star-watching "let's just enjoy each other's presence" night with Shadowheart is so endearing and powerful to me. And meeting Alfira by helping her with that song is an amazing relationship start.
I'm pretty ace myself, though I am a bit of a shipping goblin, so I like having all the options.
