but for some reason it seems like choosing to not pursue romance seems to be bugging for a lot of people
It really shouldn't be a big mystery why. It's the way it's framed.
I shouldn't have the need to tell Gale "It can't work between us, darling" or anything like that when the man was never even supposed to be remotely in my radar as a romantic interest. And it should never come to the crossway "It's time to choose me or her!" for the same exact reason: I never (knowingly and willingly) led Gale to believe we shared anything more than friendship and the game shouldn't act as if I did.
Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
