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.

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.

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.
