I wouldn't know. It's optional and I haven't done any of it.

Since it's optional, I guess I would say is has far less than some games where the romance is part of the story (if you can call calculator romance as romance).

Eh... let us go with yes.
Romance is the least which matters in the game. Right after rope.

No. There hosts of RPGs with romance, including ones dedicated to romance as a core part of their narrative. Persona comes to mind as a good example of a game series far more focussed on romance.

As for how much BG3 specifically has compared to other RPGs, depends on the RPG and honestly I don't see how you could quantify this in any objective way. Based on how optional the romances are? How much of the dialogue lines are dedicated to it? Number of different romances possible?

well if you think having a creepy gay vampire stalk you, try to attack you in your sleep, and continual hit on you isnt creepy than you are ok.

Imagine a over sexed gay count chocola with creepy x girlfriend vibes.

Also your camp serves as the biggest swingers club in the world. Its very similar to the writings of a misguided teen whos never had a relationship and is writing fan fiction and its the "BESTEST EVAR"

A lot. Although I don't exactly know which other RPGs you mean. But still, a lot.
Meh, been playing ME lately again, and I have to say, this game makes ME look like hentai tentacle porn...the few romance scenes there are, are very tame...

You can romance the 6 origin characters.
+2 other companions that you find during your run.
And you can have some sexy time with a succubus and some people in a brothel.

No idea how to measure it. Subjectively feels like about the same amount as Dragon Age games, maybe? It's been some time since I played those though.

I'd say about Dragon Age Origin levels. It's not the core focus, you get the option to ask for smooches, it gets acknowledged in stories/quests/companions, the sex scenes are practically PG-13 levels (though some allow the camera angle to actually see genitals but there's no explicit visible penetration), you get the option to break it off anytime even after 'completing' the romance, and you can at least "attempt" to pursue multiple partners.

As someone who plays actual dating sims, this is pretty much nothing compared to a game that actually is all about harrassing (talking to them every chance you get) and stalking characters (learning what locations to go to in order to trigger encounters) while building your stats to fit their ideal image to get them to like you. I put a lot of headcanon for my pairings in this game because the romance scenes are so spaced out for a proper relationship development.

Also I'm not knocking dating sims. I'm just being tongue-in-cheek on how many of them focus more on "relationship development" compared to engaging gameplay or overall story.

I'm afraid you just fell for the bait.
OP isn't looking for genuine answers on this

That implies I care about the OP and not put on a public performance for the forum at large. I never try to convince the OP, I try to put forth arguments for the silent watchers. Therefor my time is never wasted if they troll me.
