What hypocrisy! In order to get Minthara porn you have to do a lot of nasty things, kill a lot of good characters. If you are so vulnerable, then play a good character and then you will not see the "dirt". For example touching kiss with Shadowheart.
Not hypocrisy. You know, it amazes me how many people get so vehemently upset and attack people over this. But if I were to start retaliating and treating you the way you treat me, you'd get super bent out of shape and start calling me even more nasty names and acting like I'm even more of a monster and bad guy than you do now.
For your info, I standardly never play evil characters. I don't like to be bad. Even though I know the characters aren't real people, I still feel guilty. I've played the evil path in BG3 once, and I REALLY had to force myself to do it. I did it ONLY because I heard I was missing out on some story content, which I was. There are dialogues linked to the sex scenes that give you more info on certain character backgrounds. Fortunately, most of the scenes at the time were incomplete, but the voice acting in them and script made it clear what was happening and even that was more than enough for me.
And then, for the sake of not talking out my butt on these forums, I actually did try the Minthara romance, because it was the one everyone was talking about. I used the covering up the screen method with a piece of paper to censor the material - which is not full proof, btw, and that is why I would definitely like some form of fade to black option in the game so I can have the option to romance a character without needing to hear or see any of it. You people might like to see that crap, but I don't. I truly detested the whole thing.
Also, as many have suggested, leave something to the imagination. Create your own romantic scene in your mind. Why do you want Larian dictating to you such an intimate thing?
Take Lae'zel. She forces you to do obviously painful things, and you have no ability to stop her or try to teach her a thing or two. You're just stuck with a weird, disturbing dominatrix scenario that they describe as being rather unpleasant. At least, that's what it sounded like in it's incomplete form anyway.
But don't worry. I have no intention of ever playing the scenes again. I've decided to make up my own custom characters and imagine my own romances. My only reason for continuing to care about this topic is that I fear Larian will add more sex stuff that I can't avoid without any option to turn it off.
