This keeps popping up, and I've stayed out of this so far but.... Honestly its kinda crazy how upset people are. CDPR Came out like a year ago and said that there would be romance, but characters would have their own Orientation/Preferences and would not just cater to the whims of the player character. And at the time people applauded them for "realistic representation"
Now people are mad because they kept to their word on that ? Could there be more options? sure. Did they build a world that is interesting but could use even more interesting characters with or without the romance option? Also yes. But it can't be both ways, we either get well written characters with actual preference or we get bots that will just do what we went if we enter the right combination of choices. Also lets remember that when bioware eventually just unlocked all romance options in the mass effect series and later SWTOR, and all of a sudden everyone was just Bi, people were mad at that too because it "Killed emersion" and "Negated Sexual Preference"
Point is there is no clear cut answer so fighting about it wont change anything and the petitions to change the game seem counter productive, Lets just hope we get more characters in the future who are well written and will fill out the world with diverse interesting stories and ideas, not just in this game but all RPGs.
