Well, I guess this helps me decide if I want to play the game. I really don’t enjoy games with “romance” plots for reasons I can’t explain. IRL I’m a romantic fool but I don’t like it in my games. Can anyone elaborate on the OP? Is it just nudity (I don’t care about nudity) or is it really focused on romantic side plots?
Not really, if characters start to like you, they will sort of ask you out (invite you to a dance etc.), you can decline and it’s over. If you accept you can get a bit of romantic bonus content, but you’re not missing out on anything essential.
This is exactly my issue. I like the party I like the characters but when I declined to get involved with someone they recoiled from me. Possibly this is somewhat realistic but I don’t belive it should be true of every character.
Plus I’ve known these people for a week. Fair enough you want to smash but don’t take it personally when I decline its not like we have a long established relationship.
I’m not trying to romance anyone, but generally being friendly with my teammates. I’m about to move to act 2 and only one of the seven companions I’m with has done the video gamey “you were nice to me in the dialogue options and now you’re… So special to me… Do you think… 🥺” routine. I turned the character down but still spent a night drinking wine with her at a party, the way I would if a friend I wasn’t interested in came onto me IRL, and since then she’s shut up about the whole thing as long as I don’t open that particular dialogue tree.
the option to be horny is present in a lot of dialogue trees, but so is the option to be murderous or sarcastic or threatening. just don’t click the options, it’s the core of role-playing.
