I don't need an equal amount of kisses (I didn't even notice kisses were broken with one patch) and I'm not sitting there with a clock to compare all companions scenes - we already know that the companions with the most content (SH and Astarion) have around 4 hours more than the companion with the least amount (Wyll). This will not be changed, but giving the neglected ones a bit more meat to the bones in touching up their stories a bit, would be nice.

My first playthrough character romanced Wyll and yes, in my view, the things that would have made that romance seem more satisfying wouldn't have been more specific romance scenes or kisses, but more reactivity around his personal quests, especially in Act 3 with his father, Mizora and Ansur. Sometimes, it probably would have been nice to have a line specific to a romantic relationship, but in others some more content that would suit friendship as well as romance would have gone a long way towards both making a romance relationship feel deeper and more meaningful (especially as that seems to be what Wyll is after in a relationship rather than something simply physical) but also would be more generally useful in giving him more heft as a companion, especially given how much his personal story connects with the plot.

The only other Act 3 romance content I've experienced first hand is Halsin's, and that did feel very superficial. But then that was what suited that playthrough as a flibbertigibbet not looking for any sort of committed relationship, so I didn't even try to look for anything deeper and therefore would find it hard to comment on what is lacking if one does. Personally, I'm okay with some of the relationships being more content light if they offer a different feel and different kind of story that will suit different playthroughs, and whatever its weaknesses I think Halsin's relationship delivers on that. In the playthrough where I romanced Halsin, my character had wobbly moments with other companions who were looking for more than she was willing to offer and it was a relief for her to find someone who felt on the same page. But then I do feel for the Halsin fans who were looking for a different kind of romance story with him!
