I'm not sure you're in the right place. console cancer is that way -> -
Is this a forum for 12-year olds?

Naturally I can only speak for myself, but I like to hope that most of the people that want to see romance make it into the game, want BG/2, PS:T etc. style romances, and not the BSN kind that has made some people have an aversion to the very idea of romance in a modern RPG. Edit: Personally I don't hate on people who like BSN romances, to each their own and all, I just think obsidian could do better with this game. PS:T romances =/= BG2 romances.In the former the romances were subtle, delicate and tied with the story. They were more hinted at than full-scale sex affairs. BG2, on the o

No, you're wrong (again). BG2 had a great, open world, with lots of developed quests, some extremely well-done and tough fights, and one of the best cities in gaming history - but the writing was poor and childish at times. PST was the best game ever in terms of narrative, plot, story and writing, but not combat. P:E is Sawyer's baby, not MCA's () - and it will be more of BG than of PST. That's fine - the writing hjust needs to be better than Biowore's.

not. don't waste your money on scams. on topic: apart from IE games; Fallout 1-2 (and maybe NV as the writing's good; shame bethpizda butchered the franchise), Betreyal at Krondor, Arcanum, Wizardries, Might&Magics, Temple of Elemental Evil (with circle of 8 modpack). You could also try NWN2, but stay clear of the base campaign - it's terrible - go straight for MotB.

Romance and friendship?

Influence/friendship/whatever meters don't work. By adding them, you make the player pick dialogue options not based on his/her opinions or feelings, but rather what he thinks the NPC wants to hear, to get a relationship boost and unlock new conversations or bonuses. It might be better if it's hidden, but still I'd rather not have such mechanics. -

This explains a lot, actually. indeed, it shows he couldn't stand poor graphomania. the horror! -

I've never played the game any differently. Screw the silly party banter. After my recent IWD playthroughs I thought It would be a welcomed change. I regret that choice dearly
