I'm very much against the playersexual approach, which is what folks were initially calling it. It comes across poorly and strips NPCs of character and identity. It's actually ruined some of the characters for me.

Regarding the amount of NPC gay relationships in the game, whether that be discovered via dialogue or in books and letters, yes, I tend to think it's oddly and overwhelmingly abundant. But that's a difficult conversation to actually have because it feels like the discussion will inevitably be shut down.
