I just had to turn down a prancing Wyll. I tried to let him down easy, but he wasn't getting the hint.

Is this what it's like to be a woman? Dudes come prancing up to you out of nowhere like it's their best move, then get bitchy when you don't drop your pants for a two step?

I know I risk summoning the worst of the Internet with this question. I'm still curious if anyone's experienced similar in the game. Maybe I'm way off thinking there's some empathy lessons in here. It's obviously not the message of the game, but maybe one of the messages.

It is not the homosexual attention per se thats bothering me, it is the lack of non-sexual friendship. Why cant I just be friends with someone without being hit on all the time. Sure, being hit on by women bothers me less because thats my sexual preference, but its just unrealistic in both cases. Yes its nice to have the option of all kinds of sexual relationships with characters, but I dont want it forced on me. I just want the option of being friends with men and women without them constantly seducing me.

I was friend with Wyll and Minsc and Jaheira.

Yea actually my critique was aimed at the earlier versions of the release. In my second playthrough it seems less awkward and more casual. So props to the devs for working so hard on the game after release.
