im sorry im getting a little heated about this, but its important larian hear what the community is saying. Its a prominent blemish on an otherwise near-perfect game. And if they address the problem they are very likely going to include a "turn off all romance" toggle, as if there its a binary choice between complete sexlessness and not wanting companions to be borderline rapey at all times regardless of how often you turn them down.

This isnt a binary thing, its not "complete sexlessness" and "promiscous individual who wants to be in a relationship with all companions at all times, and have them all constatnly hitting on me"

Its not to much to ask that we have to initiate our own romance options, and that they be properly labeled, and for the game to know the difference between "kindness" and "romantic feelings"
