I forgot that everyone isn’t bi so I’m separating the poll I did before into men and women for better range (sorry to any of your enby hcs). I consulted the notes and tallied the characters people asked for who to add. (Leaving out Alfira, Dammon, and Aylin because I know they will sweep the competition) (by that logic I should probably leave out Rolan but I am a member of the Holy Rolan Empire and cannot bring myself to)(some people mentioned I should take out the emperor and Mizora because you can smooch them in the game, which is fair, but they have a low enough fan base that I’m gonna keep them in) (I’m also putting in Jaheira and Minsc who arnt NPCs but arnt romancable)(ALSO I KNOW OMELUUM USES “it” PRONOUNS BUT I DIDNT KNOW WHERE TO ADD IT SO ITS GOING IN MALE SORRRYYYYY)(EDIT: HAARLEP TOO, THEY ARE NB)(also people weren’t sure what kissing means so I’m gonna clarify in a romantic/sexual way, not like a comfort kiss)(if you are ace I guess you can do comfort kiss)
Share to get more input 👀 personally I think they'd all be great options either as one time sex scenes or full romances, available for both custom Tavs and the Durge. Like a huge romance Update/DLC adding all of them would be so phenomenal in my mind.
Tho for real Orin murders you after no matter what
Sense of calm: one of the primary signs of being safe around someone is when we feel we are at peace and the nervous system is regulated
Authentic self: We do not feel the need to pretend. Instead, we are willing to show up in our authentic self and embrace how we are without the fear of being judged or shamed
Physical safety: free from harm or hurt. So, feeling safe means you do not anticipate either harm or hurt, emotionally or physically.
It's interesting to discover the reasons behind people's favourite characters. Often, these reasons are not what others might expect. When we dislike a character, it can be difficult to understand why they are popular.
I will start by saying my favourite character is Gale (no surprise to anyone who follows me). I relate to him in many ways, but he also ticks most boxes for what I look for in an ideal partner. I also found his storyline endearing.
Note: Please do not use this to be hateful towards any of the characters.

EDIT: Just so there's no confusion, the first option is meant to be in reference to individuals bonding over *shared* trauma. Wish I could update the phrasing to something like "bonding over trauma" now since there is apparently a medical term of the same name that refers to abusive relationships, but polls are locked once posted...
