    Most didn’t work for me. Many felt forced. Complete 2 quests for this companion and suddenly they love you and want to fuck at the soonest opportunity

      Err how many quests do you make someone go on before you’ll sleep with them? Because for me, two very dangerous quests involving swords and magic would be plenty.

        Tbh, I’d fuck someone for going on ONE quest for me. Doesn’t even have to be dangerous, could just be something like, Can you swing by the shop on the way over? Thank you 🥵

        Yeah, but then you find out Gith lay eggs, which raises weird questions. Idk, maybe their closest analog is a platypus, which would make them far more adorable if they werent trying to separate your head from your neck so often.
