...There are many deep and subtle moments in the game...
I am afraid getting beaten over the head with a club is not particularly deep or subtle, but to each their own.
Myself, I am giving second thoughts to my already rather either-wayly plans to maybe give the game another go after accidentally stumbling upon that one Halsin-related dialogue line about becoming "closer to nature". It was one of those moments when reading something is almost physically painful.
It was something you'd expect out of a sloppy hentai fanfic, not a Baldur's Gate game. They could have handled romances in a pure, aesthetically pleasing format (like in Mask of the Betrayer) or actually been more mature with their mature subject matter (like the Witcher which, while it has its share of raunchy humour, never quite falls to that low a level). Instead all that's missing is pain/hysterical laughter-inducing voiceover during the scenes themselves, but I guess the VAs weren't quite ready to embarass themselves that much, never mind the reality of that all their characters that people now associate those actors with (like how Andrew Wincott suddenly became known for being Raphael despite having been in the industry for decades at this point...) ended up being good for in the end is r34(-adjacent) art and fanfiction. Something-something reap what you sow with your marketing something.
