I’m also all for tasteful fades to black when it comes to the sex scenes. The animations would need to be near perfect for them to be sexy rather than silly and I can’t see that being the case, particularly given different possible body models. Plus how a character, or pair of characters, would have sex is deeply individual and so any representation that Larian give of that is highly unlikely to feel authentic. I’d much prefer they focus on quality non-sexual interaction and relationship building and leave the actual bonking to my imagination.
But yes, if explicit sex scenes are included I’d like the option to turn them off in the event they’re as cringeworthy as I expect.
Pretty much how I see it as well.
No hate or shame from me toward those who want it, of course. Everyone has different level of comfort and want when it comes to this type of stuff.
If it's Dragon Age type of romance scene, I'll be fine (the games, I haven't watched the animated show). But if it's going too much in the direction of Cyberpunk's (so, actually explicit from what I've heard and the little I've seen), meeeh...not for me.
And this part about The_Red_Queen's comment :

Is not negligible, in my opinion. It's really something I would like to literally leave to my own imagination 🥰
I'm glad to see that nudity will likely be an option based on what's been shown by Chubblot, but I would also like a "tasteful fade to black" or a "tune it down a bit" option 😅 The leaf 🌿 covering the genitals is iconic, btw. I seriously love it 😂
Sidenote : my Tav standing proudly and fully naked after the night with Astarion feels weird as well, but mostly because I keep thinking "Aren't you cold, hells", "couldn't be me standing naked like that, arms dangling on my sides" and so it feels unnatural to me.
