Although, I thought I was on the right track to progress the game, I ended it accidently. So I'm wondering if I missed some que at some point, or made the wrong decision. I honestly don't know. I mean, I don't think I made it through Act II. So, without spoiling anything, I'd just like to warn my fellow players, that everyone saying there are thousands of possible endings, might indeed be true.

So, think hard about choices made. The ending I received was very... anti-climatic. I didn't want to reload and backtrack, or make different choices. So I started anew. Pay attention to your companions, even if they're obnoxious, and overly horny.

I think this is the most RPG game in the history of RPGs....

FWIW, you're correct; you haven't finished Act 2, and you actually got the bad ending.

Honestly such a great game, I really appreciate that a deus ex machina like that is an option and will just end the game; it fits in quite nicely with how D&D itself works

overly horny

They are really not if you don't pick those conversation choices. Don't treat them like fuckbuddies and they won't be so horny, I think that this reflects more how you play the game than how they are.

Yeah, this is just plainly untrue. All it takes is getting their approval anywhere beyond medium (for some even that's not required) and doing their specific personal quest objectives and they are down to fuck IMMEDIATELY. Ironically in my playthrough, despite not once giving them any signals I'm down, the only companion who didn't try to bone down with me was Karlach, the most openly horny one.

I agree. Reading other people's experiences makes it seem like my game is bugged or something. I turned Gale down once during his magic show and I've been offered a couple of flirty conversation options with other companions that I didn't choose because I wasn't interested in pursuing a romance in them. That's it. Meanwhile, from what I've read, I accidentally locked myself out of the one romance I WAS intending to pursue because I didn't meet Karlach until after I resolved the Druid/tiefling/goblin situation.

So while everyone else is looking for a way to make their party take a cold shower because they can't take a hint, my poor lonely dwarf is just over there pining after Karlach, who never has anything new to say to him, and being ignored by everyone else.

I turned down Gale's magic show and he still confessed his love for me later because apparently the only answer to "we're friends, aren't we?" is either "let's fuck," giggling coyly, or "ew, I hate you." I just wanted to be friends. ):
