. Small things like standing closer while you are talking, taking the other's hand etc would go a long way. That's why the romance content (as good as some of it is outside the main the story) feels half-baked.

No worries, the dig was meant at the writing, not at your comment. And they certainly didn't make it work for people who have no special relationship to the character in Karlach's ending.

Also, where I'm from, if someone's face is burning we check up on them even if we don't know them at all.

I think I swore loudly at my monitor when that came up. Like, who the hells wrote this?

Dare I say... someone who is either emotionally inept... or an asshole..? Seriously though, it doesn't take a phd in psychology to understand what it implies.

And if you play Durge, after rejecting Bhaal you can once again tell him practically the same. The two options are "you don't need to be afraid of me anymore" and "now I'll be able to protect you." At least the second one also thanks him for staying with you that night in Act 2. But I think saying something more along the lines of "now I won't have to be afraid of waking up to your dead body" would make more sense.
