I am for romances in games.
My view is they are a type of story, just like any other. And this is a storytelling medium. Through games we can have adventures, solve mysteries, explore strange lands, and yes, perhaps have a love story as well.
Someone in an earlier posdt asked if a romance has to involve sex. That I do not believe is necessary, though it certainly could be a part of it. I'd cite Planescape: Torment as an example. The Nameless One could have a romance with Annah or Falls-From-Grace. But the relationship never becomes physical. The romance was more focused on the emotional bond they formed.
