Before you crucify me, let me explain. Most games that have gay romances just insert the same dialogue for both romances, there's no mention of "we're gay" at all, which seems a bit odd. your character is just treated like a member of the opposite sex. I'd like to see a romance that actually talked a little about some of those unique issues that gay people have to deal with.

just a random thought, it's probably not feasible/practical in anything but a game purposely meant to discus those issues.

I'd love that as well. DAI had something like this when romancing the actual gay characters. Dorian and Sera. But unless a character is made gay, any bi (which is the case of Larian games), they'll just change the pronouns and gender in certain dialogues and it's done.

They could also make it more subtle like DA2, where Isabela was the only clearly bi romance, unlike the others who felt forced smh to be bi. And even being bi, she is more interested and protective of Female Hawke, while with Male Hawke she would have fewer problems in sharing or care in hurting his feelings, etc. All that in dialogues that can be found while romancing a character. Honestly, Larian could look at DA2 for the romance part, no need to copy them, but see how much more natural romances felt there.

I'm just talking about it, because it seems romance will play a big part in BG3, since already on ACT1 characters can have intimacy which in other games would usually only be available in the last acts or before the final battle, etc.
