Hard sex in video game sells.
80% people in RPGs now mostly care for porn, what under pants their wear and if they can masturbate to a customized detailed character they made. Usually first mods for any RPG games...how to get everyone naked. lol I mean just look how popular is a recent thread on UNDERPANTS with boobies and how they changed it in the game with patch 8 ROFL.

In any case, romances in BG3 GO WAAAAAY TOO FAST. Its incredibly silly. But hey, for the masturbating daily gamer, I guess its a necessity in 2022??? When I was a teen in the 90s we had less convenient sources for that. And 56k dial-up wasn't really an option.
May come as a shock, but the modding part was already true back in the Neverwinter Nights / Morrowind days. As somewhat embarrased as I am to know what the NWN module called "A Dance with Rogues" is thanks to my forays onto RPGCodex, there's no denying its popularity in certain circles.

And it is worth noting that the better quality robe human female mages equip in BG1/2, the more pronounced the cleavage would get on the paperdoll. The nineties/early 2000s. And then there's Annah from P:T.

My main question regarding the romances is what would be the trigger for them and how they are going to be handled if you don't do the grove fight at all (there's nothing stopping you from that). It's certainly a strange choice to tie it narratively to the tiefling/goblin celebration at the moment.
