Larian released statistics about which companions were romanced the most. Gale was high on the list. I think it's pretty obvious we can throw those stats out the window.

Gale got so bad for me that I had to take him out of the party. I had one conversation with him in camp and the next thing I know people are commenting on how I promised my body to him. I'm pretty sure the game thinks I tried to romance Halsin, as well.

Laezel later told me that she wouldn't be with me because I had shared myself around too much already, or something to that effect.

This stuff is ruining the companions for a lot of us. I'd love to have Gale in my party, but I'm not open to sitting in a field with him and sharing loving looks.

And the one person I did intentionally romance was Shadowheart. At current, she expresses her love for my character, but nothing's happened other than a kiss at the party, and the option to ask for a kiss in conversation.
