I don't mean to make any assumptions about your personal background, I am well acquainted with what happens when you assume, so please don't take offense at this. But this whole post sort of smacks of the kind of person who doesn't have a lot of real life experience with romance. As a man, It isn't really enough for me to just have a platonic relationship with a girl I like, I don't know any guy for whom that would be the case. Not that I wouldn't help a girl out just because, but more than likely if I like a girl, there is an ulterior motive. It's a little naive to think that romances are all about blushing and stuff, generally they are pretty physical. This post would have seemed perfectly reasonable to me in my early teens, because I used to watch a lot of romantic comedies/drama's and didn't really have any experience with the opposite sex but It doesn't really hold up to experience. And once again don't take that personally, I don't claim to know your life. I don't like to make assumptions either but your post makes me think of someone in his early teens (A kid who are looking at any opportunity to see the other gender naked). When you need physical relationship and confuse sex with love. It is also a very man point of view. Plus you might not know but when you actually grow up physical relationship isn't really what you are looking for. You're looking for more significant love. you might understand that when you will be over your 50's or not (some men never grows). Plus you didn't actually read my post..the actual message in it was "Love for me in PE should be more like trust. When you trust someone by your side to the point of letting him/her shielding you isn't it beautiful enough to not add words ?" Because love is actually about trust; Sex is a complete another matter. But, i am not sure you might understand. It doesn't seems you have a lot of relationship experience even if i don't know your background (and don't care). But, please don't take offense on what i am saying. I don't claim to know your life.

All, in all i don't object to romance in PE. But Like Montecarlo said, Sappy romance kill my immersion to the game. Which is why i would rather having a subtle approach of romance in this game like Jaheira/Viconia were. The introduction of a romance in PE and on the expansion/PE2. The finalization of the actual romance. First, it will give the chance to those like me who don't want romance in their game do not just do it without having the impression to miss a part of the game, secondly people who want romance will have the chance to have it (and we will endure it in the expansion). Because i did every romance of DA:O not because i am a fan of romance but because i like finishing a game in its whole aspect especially when i like the game. Plus why only have a romance that just fit with words. Why can't it be that just by fighting side by side one day one of the character can just tell you"thanks for always protecting me" while blushing. Soft_romance and deductive romance when you have actually to get through words to understand the complexity of others feelings are more worth than empty words. The romance is even more tastier when it is less obvious and evolve deep and long development in relation. Love for me in PE should be more like trust. When you trust someone by your side to the point of letting him/her shielding you isn't it beautiful enough to not add words ? Or do we need sex, obvious romance, and sappy one?

Clear to specify how it works..then ? Because your answer doesn't enlight me.

5 days is a little short to express feelings..you may think otherwise though, but i don't agree on it (in a game). In BG2 like i said, i only acknowledge Viconia/Jaheira romance..not Anomen neither Aerie. Since Viconia/Jaheira romance seems to follow a natural process that the 2 others don't have. Sure, you can in real life know such a 5 days romance but they usually start off strong and end up badly. I don't find them realistic in a game, since..when you do have a romance with a character in the game..it usually goes to the end..it hardly end up badly otherwise you've screwed up the actual romance.

If it use a stamina system like they said. They could simply make wearing armor decreasing your stamina; For example, You have 100 of stamina wearing an heavy armor would take 20 of them you'll then have only 80 Stamina to use techniques, etc. On the contrary light armor would only be 5 stamina.

I don't like romance in game. If i had a say, i would like PE to not have any romance. What i dislike in romance, is that they are more like fan-service than actual romance (See DA:Origins for more explanation). But, i approve romance like Jaheira/Viconia. For one good reason. The romance doesn't actually start in BG2. But in BG, you encounter them, talk with them, develop attachment and it's only natural to see evolution in relationship. I'd rather see no romance in PE but the start of romance and the conclusion of it in the expansion; PE2. It just makes more sense for me. Feelings can't develop in such a short time that involve only one game..(except if it's a generational game). DA romance was way too short and not believable; it was more a way to throw sex at the face of players to attract youngster..

I'll ask for a refund if they do a MMO of PE.

Damn you Peter Molyneux !

Second the Drunk uncle here

I usually play rogue..so, i guess my answer to this would obviously be no (since i tend to avoid fight unless i can make a kill for sure..)

Take Fable and just do the opposite will be my answer. Chosen one, Kids, romance, useless thing like barber..hairdresser etc..Ending in the 2 with a last boss that you kill with only one hit, Bandits attacking the poor villagers.., Orb system.. (i could go long and long with this game, so i'll stop here).

@Montercarlo Too bad, i am sure you could write us a terrible romance XD

*sigh* I was there his whole Icewind dale session, i was just kindly make fun of him, understood ?

BG2 Valygar quest (the sphere and his grandfather). I liked it because it was long and epic and also you could inherit the sphere if you were a mage, having side quest in it and create items (even having apprentice).

Personally my favorite villain was Jowy from Suikoden 2. He begun as your BFF and evoluate to become the main villain till a crushing duel with your main at the end. I'd rather have a villain that become a villain for his own reason and see its evolution toward the dark side.

While i made a scene about the tier being only for Usa (that was a bummer..*glaring intensively Feargus* even more when you throw that as a last minute tier..when we were all expecting something that would make us throw our wallet at that time). I can't care less for someone saying "Good morning America". It's a common expression in their country and have several reference attached to it ; be it Musical, Radio, TV, Movies etc. That aside, i am rather wondering how much time does last the pre-production ? Because if it last 6 months..god that is a pain lol. Second thing, did i understood well; Adam is the one figuring how the money will be spent and where it will go ?! Are we talking about the same Adam that couldn't create a correct Icewind Dale party ? Because it's scary if it is

The thing is while it's a good concept everytime it was actually tried in a game it ended up being wrongly done. It seems like a difficult concept for me to be put in a game. Or else it should be done over a generational game (over 20 years or so).

The suggestion doesn't seem to be designing epic/unique items/npcs/equipment, but that volunteers should be considered to fill in tooltips or history tomes, maybe tombstones and misc. npc chat. Things that are low concious impact, but on a subconcious level add to the immersion of the player. I understand what she meant , no issue with that But these high backers could also think "why people who pledged less would be able to add content in the game like me, while they might have pledge 10 times less ?!". I love the idea, but i am concerned for its reception by some people. I hope you understand my concern here .

That, i am for it. I definitely want to be looked as a weirdo if i hang out naked lol

@Unclebourbon. I also remember how it was handled in Fable..it was optional but honestly it was wasted time. The result and influence you could have and the interest was thin as paper.

@Psycho. I don't know dear, some people pledge really high tier to have some privilege..i don't say it's a bad idea. But, if i was in their place and if your idea was to be done i would be like "WTF did i pledge so much, then ?!?". KS isn't a store i know..But the higher the money you put the more you get really touchy on thing like this.

I'd rather focus on my character and his story than build up some relationship with a kid..or a being a mentor. It only means waste time of play to build him up while he won't be crucial or even useful to the game. I'd rather focus on what's worth (deep character, background, faction, story) than adding something that optional and not necessary.

Personally i always feel relieved when i start a game and that you can't fly in it. It simply meant i didn't confuse my RPG game with a superman one. Sarcasm aside, i think this ability fit better a 3D game than an isometric one.

For Montecristo . Actually my biggest issue with AP was that you couldn't romance Sis (which was obviously the better choice) and that you couldn't have a gay romance in it .

The fact that you are already making a difference between non-OO member and OO member speak for itself. @JaydGee Don't get me wrong i can see you're having good intention in doing so. But the approach is wrong, doing it on the forum (which is an international opened forum). It outcast a group of people. That love the same group as you "Obsidian" and pledged like the OO members. Plus, you shouldn't apologize for having good intention. But either write it on the thread of the OO or sending a private message to every members would have been better (if you wanted to create an only-OO steam group). Nor that i care..like i said i don't have mean intention or judge, i just speak of my experience as an admin (and i've seen situation like this too much..). You can. But create an only OO-members group steam is a kind of segregation. But, i do agree with your thoughts.
