I was about to comment something really similar. And adding to it, no, the anime does NOT actually act like it's totally normal as this article says. Multiple people point out how weird their relationship is, and even Chise and Elias themselves are aware of it. Besides, the character development is incredible, with Chise becoming more confident and starting to want to live, and Elias developing empathy over time

I just wanted more romance. I know this isn't a romance game, but there's ONE scene in each act, that's it.

It also bothers me how much more Shadowheart content we have than from the other companions - she literally has a flashback scene when no one else does. This could've improved things majorly. Astarion is talking about his past with Cazador? Let us see. Gale is whining about Mystra? Show me what happened.

Also, I truly love BG3, I'm currently extremely obsessed... But I don't understand when people say it's revolutionary. It didn't really bring anything new. Maybe it's the combination of features into one game? Because you alteady could battle in different ways or be creative in Zelda, for example. And the story part shows no one's ever played dating sims, where you have millions of outcomes and endings depending on your choices, and those have been around for decades

Let's not call this "Anne Rice's". She hated the changed they made to "Interview with the Vampire" so much that she removed all mentions of it from her social media before she ed, and her, son Christopher is not involved whatsoever. This is just pure fanfiction.
