..This is presented expertly, so maybe focus on that and not on the sex scenes found when intentionally following the edgy path?
Again, I've said this a number of times already. I *do*. I avoid that nonsense where I can. And yet, I murder a bunch of Goblins, and everyone in camp is telling me we should have sex. You can avoid a certain shed once you realize it's there, but otherwise, just by exploring you stumble upon a half-ogre in the making. I would avoid the whole Emperor character entirely if I just could for once, but he's always forced on you, and so is the the 'let's bang' option, that too is unavoidable - regardless of what choices you make up to that point. I never went for gay bear sex, but that's what was fed to me prior to the release. Withers even complains if you don't bang at least *one* of your companions. Just having Halsin in the party in Act 3 is like having a fifteen-year-old along for the ride, as all the party banter turns into these lame sex jokes and innuendo. The game constantly reminds you of the fact that there's sex to be had somewhere. I will stick by my original answer here, that I find this immature and unnecesary.
Now, sure there is some good writing in the romances, but that's not what we're debating here. At the same time - that good writing is largely missing from the main plot. I mean, the Emperor and the tadpole is hot garbage throughout, Gortash has no screentime whatsoever, there's no truly satisfying ending except for maybe one or two Origins. I'd much, much rather they didn't include Halsin as a companion and gave us a proper third Act instead. There's too much focus on dick jokes at the detriment of the main plot, in my opinion. Therefore, my answer to the question at hand is:
