Not true. I romanced him without having other romances. You don't have to have another romance beside him, but it feels better to just have him as fling (in my opinion of course).

You can't tell me they care about adding specific romances for minorities - everyone else is pan/player sexual. Why is there no asexual romance? Or does Wyll count as such? What about all other sexual orientations?

They obviously wanted him to fulfill player fantasies to have him together with other romances, which is why they had to pick some of the existing companions to make it work, although it isn't great for Astarion (seeing what he makes through at the time) and for Shadowheart seeing how slow her romance progresses.

So it was fanservice first - we know that, it was fanservice to add him as romance in the first place. And I think they wanted to make it work for those who want him as primary romance but botched it.
