I wholeheartedly agree that the romance scenes are an important extension of characters and their personality, and an important contribution to the story meant to enrich them as characters rather than be a mindless sex act just for eye candy, as they tell a lot about our characters.
- Shadowheart is an innocent and shy romantic who loves picnics, so her romance slowly blossoms which I find absolutely beautiful.
- Gale is a gentleman and quite a romantic. I hope to see some magical creativity during his romance.
- Lae'zel is pretty much a straight forward "strip! we're banging right now!" type because the concept of love does not exist in her culture of warriors. So to her it is just a carnal pleasure meant to be satisfied and she doesn't mince words, which I absolutely adore and enjoy seeing as part of her culture. However I hope that by the time the game ends we'll get to teach her in some extent the concept of love and devotion, along with other values. I would really like that for her as a character.
- Astarion I didn't get to research a lot, but we do actually get incredibly important details about Astarion and his past, especially the scar on his back
- Wyll I admit, never slept with. But I will eventually.
That's the thing though. I love romance in RPG game, but not explicit sex scene. And everything you listed there doesn't require the explicit aspect.
I
love romancing companions, what happens before and after,
knowing that they are about to have sex and that I get to learn more about the characters. But, again, I
don't need to see in such details how they have sex. What we have in EA is enough (well, mostly, there are some missing bits and fixing needed). To me, it's not because I find it "cringe" or whatever. It's because it's just not my taste and breaks immersion.
And yes, again, this is not about wanting to remove it all :
So, really hoping for the option to have an automatic fade to black (not forcing me to click to skip every angles/shots of the scene) or something of the sort.
And
Everyone has different level of comfort and want when it comes to this type of stuff.
