Yeah, I think this was a bug. Ever since Larian patched it, this kind of behaviour stopped for me. I would need to see in the new game to be sure, though, because it's possible, that I simply closed all the angles for other companions to flirting. But this horny companion behaviour was so unnatural, that I had a feeling this was a bug all along.

DAI was a bad game from a gameplay, UI and camera point of view, but it still had this Bioware magic when it comes to storytelling and companions. And of course lore, they really know how to introduce lore to the game (unlike Obsidian in PoE).

I actually think the PoE lore is great, but the problem is that there's quite a bit of depth to it and you really are thrust right into the world right from the get go. I didn't find it too bad, but I can see how some people would feel confused (actually, it's the feeling I get when I play a lot of JRPGs and they throw you right into a really weird world.) I think in Deadfire they had a good band-aid for this, in the form of dialogue links for lots of things that would come up with a small pop-up window and a brief description of what the person was talking about. But too bad Deadfire didn't do so well.

Oh, I agree the lore in PoE is very detailed and well thought, the problem is that I don't want to read a damn encyclopedia to learn some things about the lore. Dragon Age does introduce lore right, a perfect mix of learning through dialogues or game events with additional background from codex entries. PoE just floods you with long encyclopedia entries that has no emotional value. The Elder Scrolls games are somewhere in the middle, the problem there is mediocre main stories that are not engaging at all, but most of the side content does a pretty good job of introducing the lore.
