Because even if you’re the one who wrote it, the artists made it look good, and the voice actor performed the hell out of it. The answer is always because somebody did their job really well. That’s how it works.

According to Smith, Larian managed to work out the game’s romance system by dedicating one single person” who literally worked out all other permutations.”This developer alone designed every interaction and came up with detailed dialogue requests.
