Romancing companions *

[VonJimbo]

I think it is a cool option, especially since there is already relationship status on liking or disliking the other characters. But the developers should ask before you start your adventure whether you want your same sex characters coupling up or not...( Taking a large hit to happiness every time you reject someone gets old ) Tired of shooting down my also male teammates, thankfully the horse has yet to try and woo me. ;)

Lol, i'd like to be a fly on the wall in that camp when the horse does try. that'd be a freaking story to tell

Romancing companions would be interesting and could lead to hilarious events! I just hope they focus back on fleshing out companion interactions. Co-op is cool, but it's not something I'd use often as my friends don't play Wartales. More focus on development of companions would be great!

The concept of "romance" in a computer game has to be one of the most risible and/or disturbing things ever! First off it's just a terrible euphemism for shagging, and who really needs to see that between a group of unwashed hairy mercenaries, unless you really are using the Mills and Boon lexicon and want to introduce virtual chocolates and flowers into the mix. If you want romance just park the PC for a while and step out through your front door into the real world where you can interact with human beings!

yes, the emotionally poorer real life becomes for people the greater the desire to project it elsewhere, into the virtual world of video games i.e.

Romance in media has been around since like forever. You have thousands upon thousands of books dedicated to romance, you have the same with movies dedicated to romance, you have TV-shows dedicated to romance etc. The reason is people in general like romance and will buy products related to it. It sells well, and people like to fantasize about it, read about it, watch it, play it, get flowers, romantic gifts... It's just part of human nature. You might not like it, but there's so many who does it will continue to be a thing in games and all kinds of other media.
