And just to give my 2 cents about the romance and sex aspect of this discussion, I think that too is wildly overblown. It's there, yes. It's always been there, at least as far back as I can recall, which is admittedly only around Dragon Age Origins. There has always been a contingent I'd fantom for these games that has a lot of enthusiasm for the romances. I see it as an extension of enthusiasm for the characters, since romance is a way to get a deeper view of a character, which will only help someone enjoy them. Further, people like romance, and people like sex scenes. I don't for a moment think it's actually meaningfully more prevalent in this game than any other crpg in the past several years.
I'm in Act 3 and all the "romance" I had was drinking some wine with Shadowheart and a bloody fist fight with Laezel.
