Comment on Larian hope to have future companions spend less time jumping straight into your bed, and more time with each other

  I feel like Shart at least kind of felt like you were getting to know her.

  Contrast that with Gale who wants to show you a magic spell and immediately rips off his pants. And Lae’zel who, after a conversation where “Lae’zel disapproves” popped up like ten times, asks you to fuck (which… is kind of fitting for her, actually). Let a lone a certain druid who just does not take no for an answer and keeps asking right up until the end of the game if you’ll throw him a bone. It actively made me dislike the (otherwise wonderful) cast of companions a bit.

  Don’t get me wrong. I am all for more “adult” relationships where you might just be casual fuck buddies. Pathfinder WOTR was kind of great for that where Miss Live Leaks herself basically says “so all this ritualistic murder of innocents got me hot and bothered. Wanna bang on the floor in a pile of their blood and entrails?”. But most of the “romances” in that game actually felt like you were getting to know your ragtag group of horrible vibes abominations with varying levels of mental and physical trauma.

  Rather than “Hey, I know you want the Owlbear to show up but I wanna get nekkid instead”.
