Are there romance options in this game between the characters?

[RJM]

No.

Thankfully no. We don't need another game for simps. I'm very happy at least one company is bucking the current trend of RPGs where everyone can boink everyone else.

I think it is more to do with TA low budget than not wanting to do so. They can't hire someone to revamp the story to be good since it would cost more to do so which is why the story in this game still sucks.

I disagree. It has nothing to do with story line, the games very nature precludes adding any kind of romance option. You have no NPC party members. There is no single hero you are responsible for, saddled with having to choose to play with a bunch of pre-defined side kicks. This greatly limits the potential for intra-party romance. You are the entire party, there is no main character, so there is no central character to romance.

I agree. This is pure D&D, designed around a party, not a central personality. There is no "chosen one".

So if they did add a romance option it would be like masturba......

Oh, now i understand what all those BG3 simps are doing while they play.

You seem to assume too much. Guess you think of the same thing about the people that played the witcher or other games that did the same.

Yes :D

I really enjoyed the way the character interacted with the companions in games like Dragon Age. The personalities felt sufficiently fleshed out and not purely there to make romantic outcomes possible. The Witcher was a bit different because you're not establishing a romantic relationship, you're interacting with NPCs with which Geralt already has ongoing relationships, including sexual ones. In the right game and done the right way they enhance the experience. In a game where you've created all the characters yourself it just doesn't work.

I liked it in the Dragon Age and Mass Effect games, too, particularly DA:O. But I haven't seen the patented bioware formula (PC protagonist recruits a band of NPC's who banter back and forth and have romances) work well often for other companies.

i don't really see how that work LOL, the game has 4 protagnists so how are you going to have them "romance" other NPC? like they have a 5 some with the princess!? mabye you can make up your own romance story for your characters in the background? like idk two characters are dating or married or something. but i think this game is too much like an xcom game than a RPG where your soldiers just units.

other game's "romace" feel too jarring, like fallout 4 for example, you can romance piper but it just feels like a bunch of check box tast complete romance goes "up" not organic at all. while bioware mass effect feels more organic.
