As an ace person, this is something I would LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have sent feedback to Larian about before in the past. While I doubt they will make these changes now, I'd still like to voice my support again in case of a miracle... 🤷 The game is so inclusive. I really wish there was a sex-less route for players who might be asexual/take things slow/have complicated relationships with sex, etc. It would mean so much to me and others.
There's something similar in the game already if you play as Origin Karlach and romance Astarion. It shows that Astarion is open to a romantic relationship without sexual intimacy. But being Karlach isn't the same thing as being Tav/Durge. I don't want to have to play as Karlach and lose her as a companion, in order to romance Astarion closer to the way that would be my ideal. (To cover my bases, yes some ace people have sex. But that's not what this topic is about).
While Astarion might not be ace, I think he would benefit greatly from having an ace partner. When he confesses in act 2, he's very vulnerable and grappling with his relationship to sex and trauma. How healing is it for him to know that Tav/Durge loves him romantically, for who he is, instead of for sex? He straight up says he doesn't want to be seen in terms of sex, and an ace partner wouldn't see him that way! I and many other asexual fans related to him so much in that scene.
I haven't fully romanced anyone else other than Lae'zel, but I also think Wyll, Gale, and Karlach seem like good candidates for a sex-less romance.
