I remember turning down everyone in my first play through of Baldur’s Gate 3 as I thought to myself “yo why is everyone trying to fuck me I thought we were just buds.”
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 alone 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”.
Naho_ZakoSorry, Shadowheart gets shortened to Shart??? I’ve been laughing for 5 minutes 😭

Let’s fucking hope so, because the absolute inanity of this whole thing is one of the game’s biggest faults. For a game that has somehow been praised for its writing a whole lot it’s kind of absurd that something like this needs to be addressed and clarified.
I fell off BG3 because of a terribly buggy experience, and haven’t been back yet since the many patches. However, aside from that, this is definitely something that was putting me off from the game as well. I didn’t even get out of the first map yet and already had multiple NPCs that wanted to jump into my pants or declare their undying love for me. It created this weird disconnect for me where I felt like I hadn’t traveled very far in the world physically, but had temporally, yet that latter feeling clashed with other quest progress. Just really hurt my immersion overall.
