i doubt it bothers any adult for any other reason that its really lame and its clearly aimed at the 13-14 olds who are the only ones i could ever imagine being excited for soft porn in a game (and maybe adult furries too).
It's completely skippable if you don't pursue it, and serves only for role playing purposes. And if it's just to see virtual boobies and pussy, you can take of their clothes at any time.
Romance isn't much different than in, say, CP2077.
I only remember Witcher 2 and 3 where sex serves "some" purpose in a game. The scenes were pretty good too
I'm courting Shadowheart, but she's actually turning out to be the prude and just wants to talk. Friendzoned me
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
Ok, great, skippable is the point.
I always skipped those in Witcher 3, for example, since yeah, Geralt gets around, we get it.
It's just imho a waste of ressource and time.
In films or whatever, unless for the purpose I examplified above, passionate kisses then cut to the 2 dressing up, while having then meaningful dialogue is enough.
Everybody knows what happened and how it impacts a relationship between people.
Meaningful relations or interactions are not defined by the amount or quality of dick you sucked.
All I'm saying is that's a pretty cheap way to create intimacy between characters, rather than flesh it out by actual interactions.
But if that inane superfluous BS is skippable or low-key, then I don't give a hoot.

so.. no hardcore degenerated sex neither on this game?
After the hotfix, whenever I sort Astarion's items by weight, the game crashes. Tried it multiple times, crashes each time
I just tested that, and it works fine for me. Since you also mentioned about the encumbering bug was Asterion the one that suffered from it as I have not had that happen yet but maybe the 2 bugs are tied together.
The camera...so bad. Must be the worst of these games. Even worse than DOS2. Everything so zoomed in. Then you zoom out and things start clipping and becoming invisible.
What i want the ability to do is to click the map, click a section of the map, have the camera SNAP to that section i clicked, and then be ab le to click my party to move there. Is that so hard Larian? I did that shit in 1998

The camera being so zoomed in all these modern games and lacking various features that 30 year old games have most likely have to do with the games being tweaked for pads and couch play. Blizzard described at the time in interviews about how they made Diablo 3 for consoles, and one of the things in their play testing was how console players interact with the game. Their focus is narrower, on the character itself and less on the overall image and suroundings. So they zoomed in the camera, they're playing the game more like a 3rd person action/adventure. Larian seems to have tweaked the game more for controllers than actualy being a pc game. Why does a mod that came after a week can implement 3rd person m/kb controls and they havent in 3 years of early access ? Why does Dragon Age Origins from 2009 have this without any issues and they dont ? The worst thing that Larian's ascension that started with the first Original Sin did is they made all the other devs redesign their games to accomodate controllers to the detriment of the games being actual pc games. None of them released these style of games for consoles until then, none of them neutered anything in them in order to be playable on pads. After Larian released their controller support for the game, they all started doing it. Inxile went back and redesigned Numenera, pushing the development to 5 years since it was kickstarted and releasing something that looks like a mobile game. Other than the Pathfinder games we can probably expect things like these to be borked from now on when playing withy m/kb, since they're not designing games for it anymore
2. I believe using the --skip-launcher parameter forces DX11
Yeah, I google it and it looks like DX11 provides better framerate.
But maybe it is still worth a try Vulkan?
I have 4080 also, but I am still in act 1, so I can't test it out myself.
And yes, I use --skip-launcher myself and it locks game to DX11.

Like FireMaster said, I wouldn't mind having a sub-par yet functionnal experience during that timeframe, then just have another go when it's 1.0.
Seems reasonable.
I think this is still perfectly possible, but I still haven't made it out of act 1. Although the experience for me has been great so far. No crashes, no noticeable bugs, no oversexed npcs either. I think it depends on the dialogs you choose. Astarion is pretty on the surface when he initially talks about having some "fun". Only when you ask him for more details, like a virgin , he rolls his eyes and does the whole sex talk. I guess some people don't know the meaning of "little death" I told him I'd rather fuck a goblin, and he hasn't bothered me since.
There are some things to keep in mind, like long resting, and also saving frequently. But dunno how it will be in other acts when doing this.
I've had a quest ending when going to the camp, so had to reload, but it was explained, both in dialog as in the quest log, that someone will probably die if you don't act quickly. So I just wasn't paying attention. Other timed quests (saving someone out a burning house) had a similar warning, but maybe it's too subtle and glossed over too easy. Timed quests can still be completed extremely casual, btw, time only progresses when you rest.
My guess is the extended edition or whatever, will include more frequent autosaves, and a pop-up, warning either that you should camp because of story progress, or that you shouldn't because it might end a quest.
Thanks for the answer!
While this whole "long resting" and what it entails obviously doesn't mean dick to me, since I didn't start playing, on the sex/sexualized side, that's my 2c take:
I'm far from being a prude, and I guess I have a "normal" sex life, let's leave it at that.
What I mean is that I don't get aroused or interested in virtual sexual simulations.
For me, sex in storytelling only has a point when it clearly serves character progression.
Think of the movie "Basic Instincts", for example. The sex scenes serve to show "who those persons are", what their drive or passion are about.
Here it seems only gratuitous, surface level.
Again, not saying anything about BG3 since, again, didn't play it, but it seems more of fishhook for horney neckbeards than anything else.
But I can stand corrected: does any of those, except for the lulz (bear, haha), serve any purpose?
Except here, like 99% of games it's just unrealistic, cringe text lines. There's no animation, there's not enough writing / story to remotely create a connection for romanance.
It's been a long time but I'd maybe call out FFX as having a relationship that works. Maybe because it's built up over a 100 hour campaign and they do a good job fleshing out the characters. The FFX characters are so much better than the ones in this game.. it's like we only go predictably surface deep in this game
Does it serve a purpose? No. For whatever reason it's been determined a couple's of cringe lines were the most important dialog options and features to have in a 2023 DnD game..
Despite all this, and performance issues in A3, I still like the game as well btw.
In previous chapters, this meant I wouldn't be bothered again. But before I even have a chance to move:
Spoiler:
And now I can't try another persuasion/strength/deception check. What's the point in passing it if you don't get access?
I'm playing through the city, trying to predict where the developers expect me to go next to not get bugs. So far so good.
I wouldn't say Act 3 is any worse than the other Acts. For whatever reason i've always hated giant cities in games (I mean I knew it would come to that in this game too). It's like you want escapism and a giant city with usual fare stuff is I dunno, just not that exciting, clicking 500 pointless NPCs that deliver 1 line breaks a games pacing for me.
Oooh the 1 clickers. They are annoying. And because performance tanks in the city, it takes ~1 second for the stuttery dialogue window to transition. They should mark people who aren't generic NPCs on the minimap
Level 12 now and I still haven't explored it all, still loads of quests and around 90hrs in
Spoiler:
Fighting Raphael at the moment
Edit: Thought he was going to be hard, what a little bitch
Yeah so already a few problems in my game:
- Make an audience with Lorroaken, have done all that / quest just stuck.
- visit emporors hideout, done broken quest item.
- It feels almost like "owned" doors/items etc are backwards, things that should be free to open are red and things you wouldn't expect red are open.

I just got to that part
