I am new to the forums, and am thinking of getting Pillars of Eternity. I honestly do not care that much about romance in general (except for Bioware games' romances). For me, romances are more engaging when you can imagine it happening. like in new vegas, I can imagine my lesbian couriers and Veronica getting together and making love without the need for sounds.
romance is good for RP, but I do not need to see it for it to happen.
