How do you guys go along with the romance unknowingly and unwittingly?
I got hit on by every character at this point, and they are all very clear about what they want and there is a clear way to turn them down and stay friends.
But that's precisely part of the issue?
I don't want to "get hit on by every character". And I don't want my default to be having to "shut down sex pests" to have some breathing room.
I ALSO don't like that being romantically or sexually engaged with them is pretty much a good 80% of what they have to offer in terms of character interaction.
It's not just about "when it culminates in a sex scene". It's about every interaction with them being "sexually charged" in a way or another.
You can't even offer motherfucking Halsin to share a toast at a party without the game filing it under "A clear invite to suck each other's dick" or something of that sort.
And the alternative to making out passionately with Gale under a starry sky is to tell the dude something that boils down dangerously close to "Fuck off, you disgusting wanker".
Don't even get me started on Karlach slobbering all over by bedroll ten minutes after meeting and almost breaking down to tears few hours later about my "betrayal" because I didn't kick her on her teeth as soon as she tried it (which apparently means romantic commitment to her).
