I agree, their heads seem a tad to big.. and I wish their glowy stuff was a tad more solid. I really dislike how the fire and moon godlike look bald. :/

Disappointed by the Godlike portraits and customization available. Female Nature Godlike get 3 (though they are all pretty similar) and Fire, Death, and Moon Godlike all get 1. Males only get 1 each I think. And while I'm actually fairly okay with this, as the female Moon Godlike picture is pretty, I'm upset that we can't actually give any sort of hair.. she just has that horrid misty stuff and looks bald. A pity her misty hair glow stuff isn't a tad more solid. And lastly, I wish we could play as the air/feathery Godlike. Also, the moving the map with my mouse or the keys is really slow, and I'd like if it was at least 50% faster. On a positive note, I like how the skills for the Cipher sound, I haven't progressed far enough to see combat yet. Still trying to make myself like my bald Moon Godlike lady.

Dragon Age! One, I'm a semi biodrone, and two.. I won't play a new (anything from '08 onward) game that does not allow me the ability to be female. (and I'm not saying all games need female leads, and I WANT to try witcher or GTA, but I will support the companies or play their games while the gap between male and female leads is so large.) Also, I Dragon Age Origins ate my soul, I popped it in my 360 and next thing I knew it was May and Awakening was coming out. Good times.

I hope its at midnight.. cause my unmetered useage starts then, and ends at 5am lol

Faulty analogy. You're not describing the rock's potential, you're describing civilization's potential. Romance is not a tool. You cannot do anything with a romance but present it as it is. And therein lies the problem with your analogy. Romances suck. They're like turds. You can Sugar coat them, or gold-plate them, but they'll still be turds. And I'll say it again. Romance has a far bigger potential to ruin the RPG genre. It has already evolved enough to ruin Bioware games. A lot of things can potentially ruin a game. Combat, stats, story, presentation, graphics. Heck, even voice acting. Maybe we should ask Obsidian to remove any and everything that can has the potential to ruin PoE? Which you know, would be everything. Romance is generally such a small part of the equation that it alone cannot ruin a game all by itself. If it some how manages to ruin it for you, then I think that's likely your problem, not ours.

I think that looks really nice. I'm pretty excited for the beta, if only so I can see the character creation selections. Then maybe I'll draw me up a pretty picture too.

@Kimaka This is what I was hoping for too. I'm a romantic at heart, but I do enjoy a nice troubled romance. I really liked both the Anders and Fenris (if a mage) romances in DA2 because Anders is crazy. He has two personalities in him and one of them doesn't want you two to be together, and Fenris hates mages.. so. Yeah. Both I feel could have been made better, but thats pretty much how I feel about the whole game. I liked the one shot sorta romantic plot you could have with Benny in New Vegas (He tried to kill you, and then you can seduce him later) I totally have a mod that lets you save him now. I just haven't gotten back to the Strip since I installed it. I'd be fine even with a one sided romance, where the PC is left broken hearted or something. or has to kill his/her would be love interest cause they betrayed them.

My first character will be a godlike. :3 Being blessed (cursed~) by the gods sounds like a great trait for a heroine if you ask me.

I'm new to the forums and haven't kept up with news of PoE since it was successfully kickstarted.. I won't lie, I'm pretty disappointed there isn't any romance in the game. I don't NEED romantic subplots, but I do enjoy them. Alistair from DA:O has to be my favorite. <3 I just hope we don't have a few throw away flirty NPCs who you can sorta have a relationship with who all happen to be female. I'll go from disappointed to angry pretty quickly if that's the case.
