I’m not trying to romance anyone, but generally being friendly with my teammates. I’m about to move to act 2 and only one of the seven companions I’m with has done the video gamey “you were nice to me in the dialogue options and now you’re… So special to me… Do you think… 🥺” routine. I turned the character down but still spent a night drinking wine with her at a party, the way I would if a friend I wasn’t interested in came onto me IRL, and since then she’s shut up about the whole thing as long as I don’t open that particular dialogue tree.
the option to be horny is present in a lot of dialogue trees, but so is the option to be murderous or sarcastic or threatening. just don’t click the options, it’s the core of role-playing.

Not really, if characters start to like you, they will sort of ask you out (invite you to a dance etc.), you can decline and it’s over. If you accept you can get a bit of romantic bonus content, but you’re not missing out on anything essential.

It’s worth noting that the “decline” option is very often downright mean or abusive, so you get guilt tripped into sex.
