Like BG3, every single conversation moves you towards sex in POE2. Every single one of them. You can't just talk to someone to learn about their lore without trying to fuck them. And that is poor writing.
I didn’t make it far through PoE 2 so can’t comment on that, but agree BG3 is currently clunky with what seems to be the same attitude system used to measure both platonic liking and sexual attraction in the early game. Of course those are different things, and while I’d settle for handwaving the current approach given it’s not realistic to expect all nuance of relationship building to be implemented in the game, I’d be more than happy if the writing and story-telling in this respect were improved.

Gah! More unnecessarily confrontational language in this thread.
