I enjoy the romances and the sex scenes.
I think Larian needs to take Niara's critique to heart and decide if they are going to make softcore scenes or hardcore ones. I get why they made the decision to make Minthara scene porn -- it provides a contrast to the more romantic scenes with the main character but without genitals the porn just looks silly.
There was storytelling with the Wyll and Astarian scenes -- for both of them, their stories are written on their bodies. Both have scars that you only see while naked and those visuals are an important part of story that is being told with images.
