What you said really makes sense, but doesn't the approach "you should get to know a companion, get attached to him and her, and then try to win them over" also feel a bit strange? I remember it from POE 2 and Bioware games. This feels a bit unnatural too because you do not have any romantic relationship until one exact moment in the middle/end of the game. I agree that it is done a bit awkward in BG3 right now, but it looks fresher. What if the scene in act 1 which we get is just the beginning of complex relationships that will grow throughout the game? And the beginning of the relationship can sometimes feel sudden.
