Annoyed Player: there are far more heterosexual couples than homosexual in this game.
Just a note: this is not true. Not at all.
You'll notice it even in books and notes that you can pick up, like Quelanna's book about the card readings from her significant other.

My theory is that several different writers had a hand in the whole, and working independently, each of those several writers made an attempt at including representation. All of those attempts added to a world that had very little in the way of heterosexual representation.
I could do a breakdown of homosexual versus heterosexual couples in the game, but I suspect it wouldn't be well received.

Interestingly, I got the impression that all deep gnomes are homosexual. It seemed like that was the culture of deep gnomes, and I figured maybe they must have made exceptions for breeding, but otherwise engaged in same sex relations. I'm not sure if that was Larian's intention, but it certainly seemed like a strange and interesting world-building touch.
