It just means his romance doesn't actually start in act 1. And yes, every other companion needs to start in act 1. Lae'zel/Astarion want to bang you, Gale wants the weave scene, Shadowheart wants her date, Karlach wants confirmation you want her. Wyll.. nothing. Though if you're rude to him perhaps you'll never get the dance scene, even with high approval?
I'm not sure about that. Something must be flagged in the Act 1 party scene, because some dialogue choices result in Wyll saying "There will be another time for us." Then, when the party's over, you have the option to go to sleep thinking of him. If you don't choose the more romantic dialogue options, that choice when going to bed later doesn't appear. For the going-to-bed scene to have those two possible states, the game must have recorded whether you tried to initiate something. To me, at least, it feels way more likely that there's a mistake later in Act 2, so the game should be checking for whatever flag was set at the party but it's actually triggering for everyone.
I mean, the alternative is that the developers didn't want to close off Wyll's romance from people who didn't talk with him in the right way at the party. But why choose that approach for just him when it seems like every other origin companion takes into account what you did with them in Act 1?
