so I restarted Baldur's Gate 3 recently after playing it some years ago but never finishing

and the way that companions and romances are written is hugely off-putting to me. I HATE that the path to a relationship has to be 'hook up/fuck them in Act 1 BEFORE any actual backstory or character building happens, THEN you actually date or get to know them in Act 2'.

it's so incredibly awkward I cannot stand it. I'm fine with SOME characters doing this as part of character writing (that makes sense! different people place different value or importance on fucking, sex should be nbd to some people and a huge thing for others), but to have LITERALLY EVERY COMPANION, people who are SUPPOSEDLY from different backgrounds and cultures (including literal space aliens) find my extremely milquetoast character hugely fuckable within like days of meeting them is just a total immersion breaker.

I actually think worse of people who like this as a roleplaying game or think the character writing is good.
