Player-sexual refers to design decision to make companions attracted to PC no matter what those characters preferences are. That spawns the very problem you described, where characters goes beyond what seems to be their written sexuality, just to not cut players off from romances they might want to pursue. That’s different from companions to be written as bi, like Takehu from Deadfire who expresses attraction both for PC but also NPC of different genders.

I have no idea how to salvage romances in BG3 - it has all traits I dislike. Party is just such an awkward moment with companions either telling you one by one they want a piece of you, or telling you they would want a piece of you if you pleased them a bit more. Come in, guys, we have UIs to communicate that stuff - we don’t need characters to tell us if we filled their romance bar or not.
