As glad as I am that BG3 is being positively received, I hope subsequent patches later on down the road allow you to establish friendships with your companions and allow you the option to leave them at just that while giving you to be able to pursue beyond them into consensual romance, because if I ever get around to trying it out for myself I am not going to look forward to having my PC get sexually harassed over and over and over again until the NPC finally takes no for an answer and backs off.

#like. why are the companions designed like way?#what if i just want to be friends with them #why do they double down on their advances if you keep turning down them?#it's not only obnoxious but extremely uncomfortable #like don't get me wrong i'd still like to play it #but if i want to pursue a romance with a companion in a game #i want it to be done at MY OWN PACE #make me WORK FOR IT #i remember seeing that article where the larian devs say they hope they did '90s bioware proud #with their writing #and maybe the story is good idk #but i played DAO and i'm pretty sure you can't bang your choice in under 8 minutes #w/o cheesing it that quickly #idk i think it should deserve its praise #but that same praise shouldn't overshadow the criticisms it does have #and the romancing aspects - and the lack of platonic relationships - is one of them #from what i have read up so far #like if you can put in that much effort to include a scene where you can bang the druid Like That #then i think more effort can be done to flesh out that system he is a part of #bg3
