The writing team is particularly proud of an exchange with Astarion where choosing flirty/sexy dialogue options will get him to sleep with Tav once out of a sense of obligation before ending the relationship. All this because the player didn't read Astarion's hesitation between the lines. "This is all a game, to you!" he realizes the morning after.
Eff off, Larian! It's clearly a game to you. You've trained me to ignore my own sorrow after the opening scene and are now punishing me for not being empathetic with a fictional character!
I mean, it certainly wasn't between the lines. It's the very text of that conversation. He's telling you he's tired of being metaphorically or literally sexually abused and used for things, mostly sex. Amongst the things he says in the conversation where you can pressure him into sex is "I don't think I want you to think of me in terms of sex. I don't know if I want anyone to". In that department at least, it's not subtle and something a player could accidentally stumble into.
