I agree with Op for the most part. Larian is doing a fabulous job on this game and it has potential once released.
The Pol Corr of the game is subtle. I like that. It's not trying to force it down your throat or make it a main part of the storyline. Astarion is a homosexual, yes, but that's not why you would take him in your party. He's also a vampire spawn, so although it seems his preferences steer toward that direction, it's not exactly clear if he's exclusive toward men.(I haven't heard his full story yet, so probably wrong, but not going to make assumptions) When you live that long with an unquenchable thirst for blood and killing, there's not telling which direction you would go in that case.
The times we live in seems to be forcing these personal issues. I can appreciate it when a game, movie or show adds them subtly without it being forced.
