takamorisan Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Eh...Well unless they manage to pull a romance where isn't just some quick ego masturbation and removing the npc motives just for the sake of the player achievement, they can go for it.

Iakus Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I 'd like to see romance somehow incorporated into Deadfire. I mean, it wouldn't have to be a major deal. It could be the Watcher can grow closer to major NPCs and might turn into something more by the end of the story (see Mina in Alpha Protocol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahelron Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I want romance. Come on baby, light my Deadfire. Put romance in a stretchgoal and I will raise my pledge. You have to do it right though. No last minute feature implemented just to shut up nerds like me who won't stop bitching about free love in CRPGs.

Notshauna Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Romance is a large part of relationships, and since RPGs often focus on these relationships including romance is natural. I think that not including it at all is just as bad as fetishizing it, both fail to accurately represent the reality of interperson interactions. Even though I do like Bioware RPGs they've too often fell into the trap of creating characters that feel incomplete without romantic interaction and I don't want Obsidian to make the same mistakes. Pillars 1 isn't that bad with it, because while the PC had very little option for romantic conversation certain companions picked it up for example Hiravias to Pallegina and Kana Rua to Maneha. On the otherhand New Vegas had characters that were clearly written with romance in mind but it was later cut, which lead to several of them having incomplete character arcs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaven Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Upon putting thoughts in romance.. and in view of current trending about LGBT and feminism, i would vote "No romance". These vocal groups of people were known for stirring issues with their ideology that games were not inclusive and indirectly mistreating them. I personally love romance, but i know where this all leads to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you like it or not.. this is how the current gaming industry is. Many developers and publishers were intimidated in social media and all were forced to bow to these "vocal groups". Don't forget Obsidian was once the victim on PoE on the backer phrase and forced to remove it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd love to have have more representation. Always nice to see myself represented The annoying part is when it is implemented and idiots go " Oooh noez, Obzidien haz gon SJW." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The backer wanted it changed though, Obsidian merely complied with his request. Not exactly. A third party asked Obsidian to change it. Obsidian then asked the backer to write something else. The backer did not initiate the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mygaffer Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'd probably cancel my pledge if they decided to incorporate Dragon Age or Mass Effect style "Romance". In my opinion that would be a terrible waste of resources. Besides, I'm pretty sure the point of these games is to be as unlike Bioware "RPG's" as possible. Baldur's Gate did it and did it well. That being said it almost doesn't matter, they're planning on making character relationships (not romantic relationships) much deeper and more reactive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooAmEye Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'm not really for it in this one, but would love to see it in the inevitable third game. That way they could plan it from the onset of the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't cancel it but I would definitely be annoyed if they make all the companions romanceable regardless of the player's race and gender. Really removes some character in my opinion.
