Polycule Option?
I like all the origin characters/recruit-able companions!
I'd want to be romantically involved with them all (partly so I don't have to do like 10 runs to see all the cool, funny dialogue and cut-scenes, or watch some youtube video of someone else's Tav falling in love instead)
Is this an option without mods? I'd like if it could be; plus it makes sense considering just how dang thirsty everyone is in this game

This isnt some animu like Sword Art Online where everyone is just a trophy for the mc.

All relationships are monogamous except two possible polyamorous relations of:

Player- Wyll - Shadowheart
Player - Wyll - Astarion

All other couples are 1:1 only and exclusive.

That's a harem, not a polycule. Polycule is everyone dating everyone. Polyamory is having multiple partners who may or may not have multiple other partners. Harem is one person (typically a guy) has many (typically unwilling) other people (typically women) who are forced to be with them.

Once again they arent sex trophies, they are people with their own wants and desires. They arent gonna have some big ridiculous everyone dating everyone harem because of your specific sexual desires.

Okay, first of all, it's not a sexual thing. I'm actually asexual; I'm more interested in romantic attraction, and in seeing the sides of these characters's stories that I don't see when I'm locked into one of the romance routes. As I said, It's really more about being able to experience the content without having to play the same game like 9 times.

Second, and I hate to be the one to do it, but they actually aren't people with their own wants and desires. They're video game characters. They were made to be interacted with, it's the reason they exist. The trope of characters in games being "playersexual" is more about letting the people who bought your commercial product enjoy it in their own way then it is about some massive, widespread pan-sexuality phenomenon. Obviously your argument works IF they are real people... but they aren't.

It doesn't really matter if you believe me; it's not any less true just because you don't think it makes any sense.

At any rate, I did get an answer to my question, so to save us all the hassle of bickering endlessly about things that don't matter, I'm leaving it at this one.
