I don't like how horny all of the companions are.

I get they're trying to appeal to a certain audience of neckbeard virgins, but why can't my character just have FRIENDS without having to turn down advances? It seems like once you form a bond with the side characters, they want to fondle you. It doesn't matter what your character race/sex is, everyone is pansexual apparently. Frankly, it's just really uncomfortable, and I hope that it is either changed somehow in a patch, or a mod is released to change it. There's nothing wrong with wanting to have a gay lover in a game, but having to actively reject it all the time is gross and weird. I'm considering not interacting with Gale at all, for the simple fact that he is CONSTANTLY trying to romance me. Maybe a sexuality setting during character creation, to determine who is able to be romanced?

A button to disable all the romance ♥♥♥♥ would be more than welcome in a RPG game. It's not Leisure Larry.

Or even to NOT have companions make advances unless you begin a CLEARLY MARKED romance dialogue.

Get over yourself, buddy, Gale is in love with Mystra.
Like, geez, you wish.

[Agent Sandman]

I am very much in agreement. Romance options should be just that, options for the player character to RP with and explore. Some characters you'd not wanna smash and instead would want to try and develop like a best friend relationship/brotherly/sisterly bond.
It caught me off guard to say the least.
Not a huge fan of the lack of options there.
It does kill some of the RP because it's an inevitable funneling of 'lemme smash.'

I said this in another post buy it applies here as well. It's true everyone in the game misinterprets friendliness for being horny lol. Day 3 and I thought Gale was going to teach me magic and boost my stats, I pass each roll, and the next thing I know he magic roofied me and I was 2 seconds away from being his magicians ASSistant.

Same thing happened to me. Lmao. I was like "oh cool, I'm going to learn about some of the secrets of the weave he mentioned...wait...WHAT. NO!"

Gale seems to be in love with anyone who feeds him ♥♥♥♥♥♥ magic loot.

BG3's romance is really fan servicey, for sure. But a quick, "No thanks" dialogue option pretty much shuts down advances from anybody you're not interested in.

That already exists... it's in the dialogue.. do you have a hard time differentiating romantically suggestive things you can say from normal conversation? Or turn down people like Astarion?

It's hard to play a game when you can't hit a half-orc or say something about his mother

Not really, I think. To make a serious comment, you have to do a couple specific things or he won't even consider you. If you're a hyper good player who always does the "right" thing, though, you'll probably tick his boxes.

So if you don't want Gale to flirt with you, just be evil. He'll still like you, he just won't give you them bedroom eyes.

That is EXACTLY how I feel about it, I couldn't have worded it better. I'm 100% okay with the options being there for those that want it, but it's a little immersion breaking and uncomfortable to have everyone constantly begging to play slap-ass.

I think one of the complaints are the choices to reject the companions.

Companion gives you ♥♥♥♥ me vibes.

1 - Yes
2 - Yes (But in a shy manner)
3 - Maybe
4 - GTFO here you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, Imma cut yourhead of and feed it to Scratch you unwashed bestiality lover moffo.

A simple no, would have sufficed.

You haven't seen horny companions until you've tried the game with actual real life people and heard them begging to see your romance scenes.

Normally? no. in this game? Absolutely. the romance options are NOT marked, and they aren't always obvious. I am interested in forming a strong bond with my party members, but often asking them about themselves leads directly into romance options or rejection. It's just tedious and annoying.

No one is forcing you to engage in the romantic or sexual aspects of the game. Gale has the flirty magic scene and you have to consent to move it towards a more intimate encounter. I did notice that the male NPCs are a bit more aggressive and more likely to initiate (just like most men in real life). So if you are feeling uncomfortable being hit on by those characters: Welcome to the female experience.

I disagree. Gale's dialogue options do not indicate whether or not they are romance lines. That's kind of been the problem throughout, to be honest. Often, if you want to learn more about a character's backstory it leads to romantic advances unintentionally. I can't learn more about the weave without it being romantic? I can't build a friendship with a badass rogue without it being romantic? Dumb. Also, Lae'Zel is the most aggressive of the group about it (literally), so get that feminist garbage outta here. Honestly, if she wasn't so ugly, I'd almost be okay dying from Snu Snu.

Give me a break. The scene constantly eludes to sensuality and erotic feelings from the weave and his lust for Mystra. Why are you moving forward with it if you don't want to get in the mood? There are like three points at least where you can cut it off. Moving forward is a choice.

Liz is blunt. She doesn't hide anything. That is her personality. If she wants something she asks in a demanding way but will respect whatever choice you make.

The undead rogue is bisexual dandy because he wants to suck peoples blood. The easiest way to do that is get them into bed obviously and get a nibble in. His interest appears sexual but is motivated for his thirst for your neck.

I think people who don't see the problem have never had someone chase after them like that. Being a rejector is not a "feel-good" experience, and realistically I'd avoid travelling with most of these characters entirely because of it.
