ETA: if I do not respond to your posts in the future, it is because I have toggled on the ignore function. Thank you for your replies up until now, but I no longer consent to conversations with you.
Taking your ball and going home with it on the first sign of resistance is definitely a good way to have people consider your point of view.
Headcanon'd reasoning does not make up for what is otherwise awkward pacing. The fact that you're the only one in this thread going to such lengths to explain it to this level means most of the audience doesn't really buy the way it's currently presented in the game.
And again, it is a work in progress. I half suspect these scenes are going to get moved to much later in the game and we'll get proper romances, Larian just put them in this haphazardly just to give people something else to talk about. And it works, half the conversations about Astarion and Minthara especially boil down to their sex scenes more than anything else right now.
