I want a pet cat that lives in my stronghold, gets in all the food is completely useless in all respects, ignores all commands and is generally an ****.

In defence of achievements, they are often implemented so that the developers and publishers can very quickly and easily track what content is being experienced by what percentage of the overall player-base. So, having an achievement for romances is not necessarily an indication that some special narrative importance is attached to them, but is simply a way for the publishers to say "x% of the players completed these, that shows how un/popular they are, we need more/less of these." I know this is the case with game completing rates - examination of achievements show less than a third of players complete the average game. Maybe I'm being a little too generous, though. -

Don't worry, the Nexus modding crowd will ensure we have plenty of day 1 jerking material. -

Just a tip; your arguments and opinions will probably be better received if you at least attempt to explain and justify them rather than just stating them and telling people to accept them. -

Btw, I always got the impression that Annah and Fall-From-Grace's character arcs in PST were basically romances. They obviously cared immensely for The Nameless One. Those were great plotlines, and they didn't have to devolve into any dreadful, cringe-inducing exclamations of undying love. -

If this game doesn't include a romanceable black lesbian half-dragon in a wheelchair Obsidian are literally Nazis. -
I think the point is that you shouldn't be able to simply leave halfway through to rest and restock, because that trivialises what should be one of the ultimate challenging adventures of the entire game. I'm all for making this an option for the hardcore mode, because I (and probably a few other people here) have fond memories of Gygaxian hell-dungeons that are designed to be utterly merciless without being completely impossible. I recognise that not everybody enjoys having their balls squeezed in a vice, but I hope those people aren't so selfish that they'd deny such an option to the rest of us out of spite.

I wouldn't take anything said in the livestream too seriously. Those guys were completely trashed (and no doubt exhausted after staying up till 1am playing that pnp game the night before) towards the end and were in no state to answer design questions coherently.
