Well, actually, only 119 want it. 107 may or may not want it, they voted as sometimes they enjoy it or most of the time. That sometimes category might as well fall into ambivalence as well., in addition to the 92 that are against it or don't care. Not a very well constructed poll, what with the 107 that might be split evenly. Also using images is hostile and trolling *nod*

Seems like this is a case of trying for a simulation.

Bit of glass houses there, chief. God help us, they're taking forum polls seriously.

Yeah, but even then it'll be so general as to make calling them 'implementations' amusing or just the usual variations on the "Do it well!" from armchair developers.

It is odd that these go on, didn't Merin declare the majority were for it. Well, unless Living One is correct in what these threads are aimed to be.

Well, Tuchanka was a decent part, rolling up some choices from ME1 onward, but yeah, wasn't exactly a reactive experience.

As a comment said, people downvote to get theirs in the top 5. Reddit's meta-moderation sometimes works, heh.

Yeah there's lots of requests for all kinds of assorted junk, only things that matters is what the developers say. If you liked BG and PS:T, that should be enough for you to jump in, I'd say.

Well, unfortunately, those prices are still greater than zero.

Whiney bunch in here. OP starts off with it I suppose - early days to be wondering "Will this game be too hard for me?" Put it on easy, if such a setting will exist, and give it your best shot. Or as they say in EVE, HTFU.

Best we can hope for. Well, maybe, if you try to hit on a party member he or she will just leave the group and/or try to assault you or kill you - depending on how repeated said attempts are.

Hm, relying on the upvotes can be dicey - I suppose an AMA would have been more fruitful but still is nice to be able to question developers of this calibre.

Eh, improve the game, well that's up to the player I suppose, doing it right would probably chew time better spent in this case. But alright I stand corrected, usually when people use belong it implies some necessity in my experience. Also, is Merin a moderator yet ?

Well, to be fair, looking at games it's a reasonable expectation that romance = boinking blue alien/busty witch/etc. Romance 'belonging' - I assume you mean it must be present by this - I'm not too agreeable with. More like fluff, to me, ignoring the weirdness that some people get into regarding it. It's not really a sign that the medium is maturing, good stories to the games and well crafted worlds is probably a better sign for this genre at least (games 'maturing' is pretty nebulous and one of those things you find in high minded articles, I think). As for movies, err, not really sure that's the case, and it's different as movies aren't interactive as games are.

Hm, last time I tried wasn't able to return a PC game, well unless you carefully repackage it and trick them that way, heh.

Better idea actually. Romance as DLC.

I'm guessing some are apathetic, others are the frothy raging kind. Would be funny if some of them actually WERE Scene members

That's pretty creepy. Well both wanting to see Twinkie in a tshirt and the mouth stuffing

Have you seen all the polls ? I don't think 'we' do, based on that, heh.

How could anyone want otherwise.

Nothing, I've given the most I'm comfortable with.

This is hilarious: Well, I guess that saves Obsidian from having to dedicate 4 NPCs to being love interests. At BSN - .... and I suddenly feel a disturbance in the force. Isn't that your kin, thought that comment (said in jest I'm sure) would elicit joy from you. I do agree with one of the comments there where the romance would be depressing and grimdark, heh.

It's odd but amusing how they never let it go. One thing they should do is just disable polls in this forum, heh. Oh and for a snicker - http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/371/index/14235800/8#14245252

Can't really think of all that many mature romances in games. I guess Guybrush-Elaine counts, at least.

Should be a good feature, could have them just take off and try to flee the map preventing you from having to go and hunt them all down if they're shattered enough. Them surrendering is also a nice idea.
