So you can have Bear sex but there's no romance options for strait, male characters with a non-evil female NPC? Am I missing a romance option or is Larian ignoring us? I fully understand there may be a romance option that fits the bill that I'm unaware of so if there is one please let us strait guys know
PS> Just to head off the very vocal inclusion folks; I am happy as a clam that there are options for that 3-6% of the population that identifies as not strait or the somewhat larger % of folks that just want to explore options or whatever but it's kinda non-inclusive to leave out the rest of us who'd like to romance someone of the opposite sex who's not evil.
As many have mentioned, there is Karlach, who is good aligned. Shadowheart probably will turn out that way too, if ( the very plausible) theories are true, even though she starts out as a cleric of Shar. Take notice of some of her flashbacks and conversations.
That leaves Lae'zel and Minthara as evil female companions.
On the male side it doesn't exactly look better: Gale and Wyll might have pleasant demeanors, but they are fishy as hell and you have to compete with a cambion and a godess for their affection - really not cool. Astarion is a downright evil murderhobo, which leaves Halsin.
So I don't see, why you would see straight males as having it worse, than anybody else. Apart from Karlach, Halsin, Jaheira and Minsc ( and I bet, the last two are not romanceable) No companion is good aligned.
And you know, as Queen mentioned, we female player had it worse for years, I just say Anomen versus Jaheira, Aerie, Viconia-, not to mention, that I as a lesbian woman had no option at all without mods in a lot of games. Mind you, I normally play romances not based on my actual preferences, but based on if they promise a good story - but Anomen? No way.
