From the Red Prince voyeurisms (you start his romance by watching him have intercourse with another) and him leaving you, to Halsin being the way he is and the obsessions with zoophilia (I still don't think this is funny) to Shadowhearts surprisingly sweet romance being ruined by the unnecessary addition of her flirting with others (I have a whole thread about this so I wont go into it) I'm really starting to dislike this dudes writing lol.

You're joking, romances on DOS2 were like that? I'm glad that when I played I didn't romance anyone. lol. Well, What I've learned by reading you all are two things:

1 -) Not to buy launched games from these people (when I bought DOS2 was the DE) and probably wait for the DE.

2 -) I'll (probably) have a better experience in my roleplay without romance. I mean, I was doing basically a Lone Wolf (how I missed Lone Wolf perk) with Tav and SH, and somehow I got stuck with a bear, that if the right circumstances aligned, will make my poor Tav suffer. lol

@chiquidmaster I love your 'first notifications'. laezelapprove hahaha
It's not all bad. There's just somewhat of a history of some players getting the short stick (probably why we have playersexuality now). Also the existence of a niche seeming romance, which most studios would probably not do. Larian is committed to having things in their games that are meant to be seen by 1% of players only. I'm not kidding. This is not an insult. It's their official policy. Just doesn't mix well when you have only a handful of romances in the game.

Astarion already had that ground covered. There didn't need to be another companion who offers a route that makes people feel vaguely used. Nor, did they need to make that route the only one left after the merge.
