Hades was also HUGE and I find it hard to believe it was mainly for the gameplay as even I, a gameplay purist, have always been drawn in by Supergiant’s storytelling.
Too forced, every dialogue option is either slightly flirty (at least) or just telling them “fuck you and die”.
Even when you say you just want friendship and avoid the most flirty options, it won’t stop the game from trying to throw you in a romance. I hated that.
Yep. It did depend on the companion a bit, IIRC Shadowheart and Astarion’s romances wouldn’t be triggered unless the PC picked the flirty dialogue. But then there were some companions who would pursue the player. I hated how I couldn’t just be Gale’s Bro, and Halsin is just plain creepy.
bg3 was literally one of the biggest games of the year…
also the sims 4 has been going for years

The romance was the worst part of BG3, imo.

Bets that it wasn’t because of the romance.
