Prophet of the Dumpsterfire
He is just being playfully boastful, that's not flirting. That's not even bad piece of dialogue right there, aside from lack of varied responses even if the last response is sarcastic.
Is there any other way with romances?Romances are such a spectacular failure you can't help but laugh.
The last line looks pretty sarcastic to me.This is the third time in the introduction he pulls this gay shit on me, without an option to tell him to fuck off.

Is there any other way with romances?
I.e. I'm a sheltered weirdo or the most basic of dudebros and I have never been around anything other than other basic dudebros. I've also cultivated my sense of politics from right-leaning YouTube personalities and tumblr. Everything unusual scares me and makes me think I'm threatened. Help me.
Even Bioware post-BG 2 usually had enough sense to keep the romance shenanigans to a central hub where you had to approach the companion.Is there any other way with romances?
Well, I live in a middle-european inner city. I have digusting degenerates around me every day. That is why I want an option to tell them to fuck off.I.e.

Yes, it is. By virtue of it being obnoxious. I am not sure which bathhouses you frequent where mentioning this information casually is considered a good dialogue.

I'm reasonably certain you can complete this without talking to a single companion. I plan to leave many of the new guys never-spoken-to.
proof of quality of writing right there.I managed to go through PoE1 while only speaking to Durance ...-
You can not speak to Durance, I just wanted him in my party. If you don't want to go for the Doemenels and don't want to complete Galvino's workshop, you can also skip talking to Pallegina and Devil. Also, I "came up" with more than that before, that was just summarizing your whole personality, and not only yours, everyone who sees that as somehow "gay".
If he was designed to be obnoxious, that's bad design. He's also a companion who's constantly stroking his own ego instead of the player's (romance aside, which most players won't pursue), which is another mistake. These are things Obsidian's writers should know from MCA's guidelines, which Sawyer claims they still follow:Obnoxious dialogue is not bad dialogue when spoken by obnoxious people. Is fishork supposed to be Obnoxious? I don't know. I did not care to talk to him after I realized all dialogues in the game were written with Marvel Cinematic Universe enthusiast in mind but only in bad taste.
The player should feel that they are gaining something of value from the interaction, even if the interaction isn’t mandatory – exploring a character’s personality should be as much fun as exploring a dungeon.
The companion needs to ego-stroke the player in a variety of ways. Sometimes this can be romance, sometimes this can be simply reactivity (either brief barks or conversations about the player’s actions), or any of a variety of methods. Ultimately, however, any companion that simply sits around bitching, complaining, and haranguing the player isn’t someone you want to drag into the nearest dungeon to help clear it out… you may simply want to throw them in the dungeon and lock the door.
How do you get into the Battery if you don't talk to Galvino? Does whacking him drop the resonator?
+ Good music, good writing
