I've seen many complain about Gale, but really that was no issue for me, he offered to show me some magic, and I tried it out, and it was really tame and not sexual at all, then I reloaded and went with Shadowheart instead which was my original plan.

Nothing more happened after that, Gale never asked about intimacy and he never wanted to pursue my character.

In fact the only one interested was Lae'Zel but I broke off our fling after Act 2, and never had a scene with her (most likely cause I almost never took long rests)

And in Act 3, Halsin offered to go poly, and I turned him down, and stuck with Shadowheart.

from what I am reading it is like we played way different games, cause I did not feel like everyone wanted me or that the flirting options were too discrete.

However, I would like more conversations with all companions, it would be fun if you have like "Friend" statuses for those you choose to avoid to romance and instead maybe have a friendship scene, could be sharing a pint by the fire, or just talking with eachother.
Also something I would love would be if you choose to romance Shadowheart, then maybe for example Karlach wants to date Wyll or Lae'Zel or something like that, I remember Pillars of Eternity 2, where if you did not romance Xoti or Maia, they fall in love with eachother instead.

But this is nitpicky and not at all too important, I think that the game handled romances really well, far better than say DA:O where I did have the problem many mention here ( in that game I romance Leliana, but for some reason Alistair was like **grrr** when I did that, and I had no idea I had gone that path with him. )
