Their impending ownership by Microsoft might not necessarily have any bearing on their budget, given Take Two are publishing this one.

Yeah more options are good. If cost weren't an issue I don't think anyone would seek to deny anyone an optional 3rd person camera. However, as mentioned in the other thread, Mikey Dowling has implied that it might not be in the budget. https://imgur.com/a/0Ty2I24

I never minded the minigames, but I think given some disliked them, we're better off without them.

Hmmm. Prior experience: two games I haven't played, and PoE2 and Tyranny, both of which I liked. Oh no?

What is this conclusion based on besides 'this is the viewpoint I want to condemn'?

I would've said 'as well as' rather than 'over'. I haven't gotten the impression that they've favoured Steam over GOG.

lol ok guys

There are other sentiments that have been posted in the thread that people could be replying to, hypothetically.

To be fair there would also be a long thread if they'd confirmed there were romances. And probably also if it was left kinda ambiguous.

Ugh those darn casuals wanting convenient markers in their games. Those dumb babies don't know the joy that is orienteering simulators. They should be rounded up and placed in the gulags IMO.

He asked a loaded question and probably shouldn't expect a useful answer from anyone who fundamentally disagrees with the underlying premise IMO.

Should be able to sling your weapon jauntily over your shoulder IMO.

Haven't finished Witcher 3 yet. What I mean though is apparently Geralt's history with Triss and Yennefer is a fairly significant aspect of his character, and the way he relates to them appears to be tied into the main plot of the game.

I dunno what any of that means but HOWDAREU

I guess it's theoretically possible that romance can play an interesting and important part in an RPG, but I can't think of any examples where that's been the case. I hear it was done well in The Witcher 3, mostly on account of how integral to the main story the romance options were, so maybe that's the key.

Mind if we make it Bruce just to keep it clear?

I stole it off a Reddit post.

They're in KotOR, yeah. And KotOR 2 I think. They're also in BG2. That's the earliest example I can think of. EDIT: Correction, there's a kind of romance in the original Fallout. Or possibly Fallout 2? None of them are particularly noteworthy, IMO.

I think Dowling said something along the lines of 'probs not in our budget, soz' didn't he? OK found it. https://imgur.com/a/0Ty2I24

I don't think they're going to do this and I don't think it would work terribly well, particularly with the time dilation mechanic.

This game looks very different from PoE in most ways but also the question makes no sense

Cautiously optimistic. Dig the aesthetic.

Before I read your post, I saw your user name from outside the thread and I was like 'yeah OK man, you're right, I will.'

To reiterate, the posts that I counted as disagreeing with you did not partially agree, they wholly disagreed. A grand total of one person agreed, most people didn't really engage with the original post at all, a couple didn't have strong feelings either way. There is absolutely no factual basis behind your claim that most posters agree with you, in fact it has become even more clear that there are more people who disagree with you.
