The problem is that BG3 makes it too easy. A lot of them companions like you a lot just by taking a basic interest in them and being a decent person. I think ironically it doesn't help that all of them can be interested in you and at the same time.

Let's assume you happen to be a golden god and having a camp full of people into you isn't weird, in what world do they not attempt to sort it out between them in some form.

Or just have smoother no options.

What the game has done narrative wise is seriously impressive. Whatever choices you make, it feels like that's the main, intended path (maybe except one choice with Gale, but that's nice to have too). As fun as jumping down the throat of a fallout 4 for having dialogue choices that don't really change anything might be, most games don't do it (especially fully voiced, and in many cases mo-capped too) because it's a huge investment. But with the romance specifically, some of the come ons aren't obvious, and the only way to say no is to pretty much tell them to fuck themself. A "you're cool, but I don't want to bang you" would be nice.
