I voted No. (and as someone above, the Question is worded poorly.)
Is the game too sexualized? Get out of here, every Male gamer out there is playing a female to look at Azz. Hypocrites.
NEXT!
Are the companion Horny and wanna bed you at every turn? NO. Didn't happen in my game.
NEXT!
Is it possible there is a BUG? Probably!
NEXT!
Is it possible you suck at picking your reply with them? Possible!
NEXT!
Is it possible you turned them down and now you are blowing this out of proportion? Definitely!
NEXT!
This is an unnecessarily dismissive take on the discourse. Saying that others suck at making choices in a choice-driven RPG is something of a cop-out in terms of any argument. You say that anyone who has any complaints (many of them moderately reasoned in these threads) are bad at making choices, delusional in their perceptions, or hypocritical for doing things that they're not doing. I'm not playing a female. Many people on this forum are not playing characters to look at ass. Many people on this forum have had just a fine time making choices in other RPGs that did not lead to these experiences. Many people on this forum have not had these perceptions in other RPGs. This is a very unique problem and you do not want to address the discourse.
It is no argument to attack the minds and perceptions of others rather than making your case.
Not dismissive, but there is truth there. There are some players who don't know how to differentiate the dialogue from an innocent question to one that will lead you to a flirty position.
That's why I said 'Possible' because it is a possibility.
But my bet on this whole issue isn't that the game is too sexualized. But there must be a bug. That is the only explanation, a Logical one why YOU have the companions coming onto your characters and I (and others) aren't seeing it in the game.
Let me tell you how it is going in my game!
I only have 1 Quest to finish and then I'm heading to ACT 2. I spoke to everyone in the camp to advance their personal Stories. (and Quest).
I picked Shadow Heart to romance, and guess what? She told me 'When everyone is sleeping, I'll come for you'.
So far, it hasn't happened and I'm hoping once I'm done with that final Quest...it will trigger.
Meanwhile, Every companion is behaving normally. Nobody and I mean NOBODY (Not even the freaking Vampire) Tried to come on my Character.
The flag made every companion player sexual, which means your gender doesn't matter.
Is every companion trying to come on your dude character? They should do the same with mine.
And that's why I believe it must be a bug. Because it is not happening in my game.
Okay, this is a discussion I can respond to. The question is poorly worded. I think what people have a problem with is that the main way to engage or form relationships with our companions often involves opportunities which guide us to flirtatious or suggestive options that progress; however, one of the few ways to break that flirtatious interaction is to be overtly rude or mean. There's a scene with Astarion and a mirror where he asks what he looks like, and the options are:
1. Attractive facial feature (flirtatious compliment)
2. Attractive facial feature (flirtatious compliment)
3. Playful jab at facial feature (Ambiguous compliment)
4. I see someone who is wasting my time. (Go fuck yourself)
Or Gale and his Weave scene, where you either stare into his eyes in an intimate moment, or break it off entirely because you don't want to be close to him, where he then sadly remarks on how quickly things can be lost.
Then, because you're not roleplaying a callous asshole, suddenly the companions think you're interested. I've had Astarion try to start shit with me multiple times because I haven't told him to fuck off and die.
In DOS2, you can share a drink with Ifan without him thinking there's something going on between the two of you.
The most likely answer is bugs, but people are uncomfortable with the movement toward the suggestive. And that's not even mentioning a particular surprise romance that comes in the late game that I've heard about which is just... terminally horny. But since you are in Act 1, I'll refrain from elaborating.
