Would be nice to hear from Larian why they think this is a good idea. I'm sure people who want a fantasy dating sex sim will find better options elsewhere.

I do agree with the idea that doubling down on sex is not really interesting in a CRPG. It made me cringe hard in DOS2, and I guess it will make me cringe even harder in here. I want to play romances because they are cute and romantic, not because they are explicit. I guess it's all about the context, when I'm playing I'm not interested in kinky stuff. It's the same reason why I literally unistalled FF7 remake during the massage scene (It was already boring me anyways), it cringed me into oblivion.

I think that Mass effect and Dragon age (Sera <3) were perfect in that sense.

That said, Larian provided us a modesty filter, which is amazing, so I guess I'll just play with it turned on. You can bitch discuss about "They are waisting money in these things instead of X thing that is important to me", but they are making the game they want to make and we should respect it.

EDIT: bitch were a poor choice of words
