It should be called out that the companions are all quite shallow and forgetable compared to many other RPGs and that Larian in order to distract from that seem to have specifically designed them for rule 34 and simping/thirsting which many fans seem to gladly indulge in considering even here most posts about the companions are about who has sex with whom.
This is not a good development for rpgs in general.
Yes, I think that the little erotic sex fantasy side stories are what they are and there for that audience, they really don't play a big part in the grand scheme of things. No one ever really cared about consistency in porn, so why expect it from porn within a game?
