If I want to not bother with all that, can I avoid it? Or is the story interwoven with romance?

I’m just not into romancing video game characters.

No need, just have to turn down the characters when they come onto you. Don't worry, they'll get over it. You can still be friends!

Though some of us feel a little bad about rejecting them. No in-game consequences, but I take a little psychic damage every time I have to tell one of my fictional friends that I'm just not into them in that way 😄

Gale is the worst. I was never anything more than polite to him, but he treated me like I wanted his D. Everyone else backed down gracefully.

The look on Wyl's face when I turned down dancing with him to avoid leading him on, though! 🥺

It’s worse when you DO dance with him, not knowing where it’s leading, and then dump him because you only love karlach. 🥰

Exactly what I figured lol

Oh man that look was great, made me laugh out loud. It felt like kicking a puppy.

you sound very pleasant 😂

Halsin basically went up to me and said "I'm making a public salad and I need some of your dressing" even though I didn't interact with him aside from when absolutely necessary to advance certain quests

"Do you want to see magic?"

Hell yeah I want to see magic.

I felt really bad turning down Gale 😢

Did you ask about the cat?
