The entirely unofficial story that is beginning to leak out and/or be pieced together by third parties is that Larian was under increasing pressure to get to full release and they began cutting swaths of planned and largely developed content, then some corporate marketing types decided that the PC version MUST be released before Starfield. As a result, there was likely inadequate QC of the impact of all the cuts… apparently someone decided they needed to increase the accumulation rate of approval rating as a result of shortening the game, and either no one said or decision makers didn’t listen when it was brought up that this could be problematic because they had tied the romance system into the approval rating system without an adequate separate set of triggers…. The resulting bugs are showing up all over the game (not just in the romance system), especially in Act 3, as more players progress through the content… much of this is specultation by folks across the internet, but it does make some sense. However, I suspect Larian is a tough spot if they appear to change the romance system now, given how political the same has already become across various fan boards, with people sniping at each other over it…
You have a source for this? Not calling you a liar, just wondering where you’re getting this information.
