So, there's something I'm curious about.

How common is it here to say "I'm seriously considering buying this game that I'd never normally play just to romance a character"?

I've heard a lot about Baldur's gate over the past couple years, but zero interest kept me from really paying attention to it. But a few weeks ago I decided to go through the playlists of a YouTuber I watch to find something new of hers to watch. I saw an old playlist for Baldur's Gate 3 and thought 'why not'. Her commentary was so funny that I watched it again a week later. After that I started getting a bunch of the stuff for the game in my recommendations. Since I didn't have an interest in playing it myself, but liked the characters and thought the world was cool, I decided to watch them.

Despite enjoying the stuff I was learning, still no interest. But then I started watching romance and regular dialogue for the characters. There was one that I started watching more of, and I just thought 'I love them and would love to romance them myself'.

I love fantasy, but I don't like blood or gore, and I'm not interested in sex scenes. But, this character is making me really consider leaving my cozy game comfort zone.

Sorry for the maybe not making sense flair (best fitting to me I saw), and the unintentionally long post.
