I believe there are some romantic scenes. I just don't find them outstanding. The way the romances are currently set up gives me varying expectations.
For Gale and Wyll, I also rate them low because of the the central conflict to the relationship. Those stories are fairly common and filled with, what I like to call, "fake tension". You're supposed to go "oh, no. I'm so conflicted and tense". What you get falls completely flat, and is usually equiped with severe pacing issues.
Larian will not necessarily fall prey to any of that. But, the emotional allergens persist. If they want to fix it, they'll need to abandon these forced "The other man/woman" type of conflicts and pursue something more relevant to the characters. Having one in the game is one thing. Two? Plain laziness. Character concepts shouldn't overlap this much.
