Chilloutman Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 rule 34 and mods will 'save' the day 1 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is?

Malcador Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Shame, was really hoping they would have romances. Doesn't feel like a proper RPG without one 2 Why has elegance found so little following?

BillyCorgan Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The romances are often ridiculous and breaks the rhythm and personality of the characters ... it's childish and irrelevant, at least as it's done in recent years ...If it fits strongly in the narrative I do not see any problem with that, but when it's making **** to fill a stupid specification, it's better to do without and focus on the heart of the game!

algroth Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 This is something of a neutral announcement for me. On the one hand I think a romance that is properly developed and involves more than just shagging your NPC can add a *lot* to one's emotional attachment to them, such as Safiya in Mask of the Betrayer or Viconia in Baldur's Gate 2 or Annah in Torment... Yet on the other they can lead to a lot of soap operatics (see Aerie) or seem tacked on (see Deadfire) or there for the sake of gratiutous pixel-sex (Witcher and Dragon Age sagas in many occasions), and can be both intrusive to one's relationship with said companion and a time-and-resource sink for no real benefit to the overall game - made worse when the whole "there should be more than one romance option, per sex/orientation/whatever" argument begins to demand several options if any one romance is to be included at all. If the devs didn't feel a romance would fit this game or they just didn't find an interesting hook for it, it's probably for the better that they decided to not go for them altogether. 3 My Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/alephg Currently playing: Roadwarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 So, no, it hasn't been liberated from Bethesda at all, really. The romances are often ridiculous and breaks the rhythm and personality of the characters ... it's childish and irrelevant, at least as it's done in recent years ...If it fits strongly in the narrative I do not see any problem with that, but when it's making **** to fill a stupid specification, it's better to do without and focus on the heart of the game! Good choice i guess! Nonsense, you want to deny a key feature just because some have done it poorly in the past ? Have you no faith in Obsidian ? Why, by that same logic, Obsidian shouldn't make games at all, as they've delivered buggy crap! As Mike Patton said, Man was made to love. 4 Why has elegance found so little following?

evilcat Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Lack of kinky gay romances is a drawback. Dont get this hate on romances, they could be not as good as, and generally "i would do it better", however same could be said about sidequests. Bad sidequest are wasting money from good mainquest, why not kill all the sidequests? Not everytihing need to be solved with violence or acquiring goods, if some players care about acquiring love of their companions, good for them, that is an expansion of the game. Nevertheless there other games and if there is demand there will be supply. Just keep being you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfrider100 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I'm fine with there being no romance, this just makes me more hyped for this game.

algroth Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Inb4 fans demand Outer Worlds 2 have romances because they want to shag Ellie, and Outer Worlds 2 includes romances, but not for Ellie.
