I started Act 2 last night, still not had any forced dialogue poz interaction with Avenia and Irabeth.
Closest was that when I handed Irabeth a sword scabbard from the Grey Garrison, which was marked as a side quest, she mentioned hocking the sword itself to buy medical treatment for Avenia.
I had the option to pry further but I didn't.
The first time you meet Irabeth, you have a cutscene just to show them hugging and then a bunch of dialogue I skipped through but I can only imagine it was entirely about how lesbian they are for each other.
Funny, that's exactly the same way SJWs go about trying to detect some kind of *ism where there is none.
Blind assumption.
A couple hugging each other and maybe exchanging a few words after believing each other dead is hardly anything wrong.
And yes, you CAN pry further (later in the game), but you don't have to - which is as it should be.
It's not like you have to read/skip through pages of sob lesbian love story to get through the game. At least not as far as I've played.
I definitely skipped a bunch of dialog options that sounded like they'd be romance crap I'm not interested in.
One thing I definitely found noteworthy and assume the devs were just blind about is that pretty much every major character you meet in the first hours is female, while all male characters (except Lann) are side pieces at best.
It's somewhat odd and gives a wrong impression of the game overall (it is pretty even, e.g. with 7 male vs 7 female companions).
He gets it for free at lvl 2. You commonly take Feats with no prereqs early that don’t come into play until later if your other Feats you want have prereqs.
Does the game tell you about that?
Because if it doesn't, that's a design flaw. You can't expect people to check every single feat they'd like to take "will this be gotten automatically later on?". That's a QoL feature a character creator (no matter if in a game or for PnP) should do FOR you.
Or, if it is something that would be received automatically later on, if you'd receive it twice, the game should allow you to exchange one feat for another as to not lose out.
Then again, the game has respec, so... that's more of a user interface optimization.
