You know that everyone doesn't become hot after drinking alcohol and that everyone doesn't have the same reactions towards the same situation, right ?
Indeed ...
But Shadowheart dont want sex with you, she just want to have intime private moment.
We are talking here about "everyone" ... but in fact that "everyone" is just 4 characters ... i would dare to say its not so hard to find 4 random people who are more open minded to night-adventure after few drinks.
Also, concider their personalities ...
Wyll is spoiled brat (sory for anyone who likes him, but this is what i see) sure, he get few harsh lessons from the life, but basicaly ... he still is ... therefore it dont seem unreasonable to me that this person will get opourtunity for pleasure ...
Astarion is pure epicurean(?) ... there is no way in hells, or heaven that he would deny himself any opourtunity he gets to have "some fun" ... no matter how you define it at specific moment ...
Lae'zel seems to me like someone who sees your night spend together as a reward (for you?) ...
And Gale? Well, im not quite sure about him, he seem to me like lost puppy, he wants to move on, but dont seem quite sure if he even can ... but this carrot on a stick was too sweet for him to resist.
Taking that over and over, for 3/5 your night spend together is just sex ... especialy in Lae'zels case i would even not be surprised if she didnt even involve any feelings ... im not quite sure about Gale, but i would probably involve him too, but it seems to me like for him the moment could be deeper than the others ... and then we have Shadow, who dont want to sleep with you at all (yet).
Also dont forget that not all companions are implemented ... and if another 3(?) i believe i heared to be most likely number, would approach to this night simmilary to Shadow, we would get quite ballanced numbers.
I totally agree that romance should happen before AND after the victory.
But no one should forget that this is the beginning of the early access. If sex is the first "romantic" scene... What's gonna happen next ? Sex over and over again ? Wedding ? Buy a house and a dog ? Make children ?
My money would be for sex over and over again ...
Either that, or scene with actual sex will move to "later" part of game ...
I would like to remind you (presuming you played ofc.) Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins ... you can also sleep with her quite early in the game (actualy right in the start, thanks to that stupid present gifts system) ...
And it never ruined their romance, its natural, its nice and honestly i like it most from DA:O ...
Your party just adress you as couple, you can kiss her anytime you talk to her (i would like to see that option in BG-3 ... its especialy sweet when you have Leiliana in party), and yes you can f*ck her every time you talk to her in camp (scene is not there tho), sometimes she wants to, sometimes she tells you no (just for tease i would say) ...
But the point here is even tho you are acting like two rabbits, your relationship keep evolving ...
Romance should be slowly developped through the game.
Private conversations is usually how romance (and sex) begins IMO.
That is the thing ... i simply dont believe those two things exluding each other.
