where are all the friendship scenes? Are we so horny that we forgot all about non-sexual companionship that would be far less awkward to do, but even more important?
If I had it my way the player would be able to indicate their sexuality in character creation, and have an option to make the romance match their sexuality, and the sex would be far more "fade-to-black". More romance and less sex, like the quoted text suggests.
There's a very transparent attempt in this game to inject the developers' politics in to it. They want to normalize the rampant pursuit of sex for pleasure and they want to normalize homosexuality by tempting you in to having gay sex with a wide array of different characters.
I'm 100% for you having the freedom to be who you are and associate with anyone you want, but I'm not okay with you trying to rope me in to it as well.
And then whenever you complain about it you get called a homophobe. Well, I'm not a homophobe just because I don't want to fellate a male mindflayer or have gay sex with Gale, Wyll, Astarion, and Halsin (to name a few).
I also don't like how they slutted up Shadowheart and Laezel's camp wear. I'm trying to kill some goblins here, not "get off."
They're not pushing homosexuality onto you anymore than heterosexuality onto gay people. There is no agenda. Every other person, for some reason, is stuck in a "hot milf in a frathouse" simulator. Something went wonky in the romance pathing. Because of how complex they are, Larian should have foreseen this problem. It won't ruin the experience for me, but it's ever so mildly annoying. Has Larian made any sort of statement yet? Are they looking into it? If not, there's only the modders left to release some on/off switches for various companions
