Obsidian did romance in a game I think once ever, all the way back when they worked on Neverwinter Nights 2. I can't remember any other game where they added romance. I guess they did a little in KOTOR2. Some people cite Fallout New Vegas, but while you can flirt a little there are no full blown romances for the player character without mods. Anyway, I get the impression that they hated working on romance with Never Winter Nights 2 and have decided never to add it to a game they do ever again, which is a shame. I also suspect that they're afraid of offending people. If they don't add LGBT options or if they DO add them, someone is gonna gripe and I suspect this is their way to avoid that. I could be wrong though. All I know is that with every game, there is always some article about some reason that "lead to the decision to exclude romances" as if every game they develop they at one point seriously considered adding romance. No they didn't. lol Its also been said that they don't think they can deliver the kind of romance that players would expect. In my world, that's where you hire talented people that can. At any rate, I do prefer games that have it so if I ever play this game, it will be when I am super super bored. And I certainly won't be paying 70 or 80 bucks for it. I will NEVER pay that much for any video game ever. Dear Lord.

I don't think the OP was criticizing Bethesda or anyone , or making any demands as though its a service he is entitled to. He was just curious about what is going on. I am curious about what is going on, too.
