Ive noticed that option with Brint only so far and is it available for other characters and could dating one lock you out of others? As far as i can tell its just a repeatable scene

You date/marry how many people you want. Everyone is on the menu, expect half of the male cast.

And most characters in Hawkthorne.
Also, you are not going to marry Etheryn - she is going to marry you.

Don't worry, such a thing is not going to lock you out from other characters. Think of it as open relationships. And Polygamy in case of marriages.

Even if you prefer exclusivity, you can only rp it. According to the devs, the character is polygamous and pansexual (I think that is the right word?).
Also, the open relationship part belongs, at least in theory, to both parties. Your character can sleep with other chars, every npc is also free to do the same.

Yeah, very few characters are monogamous in the game and nobody cares if the Champion is or isn't. You can date/marry as many characters as you want without any kind of gameplay or story penalty (it may affect potential ending variations, but Savin only knows that) and if you do some of the events like Atani's marriage, the fact that neither party expects it to mean vows of monogamy comes up. Now, if you do want to play that card you're free to but the writing isn't going to account for it so it's one of those mental roleplay things.

As for unlocking more date options, there aren't a huge number in the game yet but more will be coming. Ryn has date scenes, but only in the Winter City and only after you've cleared the Catacombs.
