No Romance on Theresa's Level

[Rayn]

It seems to me there is no romance that matches Theresa's in this game. I have seen the final romance scenes for Klara in my own game and I have seen them for Rosa, Margaret and Katherine in videos. None of their subplots reach the same level of intimacy we see between Theresa and Henry in theirs. It seems that the relationship that comes the closest to rivaling Theresa is indeed Hans Capon.

I want to be clear, I'm not writing this to ♥♥♥♥ on the homosexuality again. There are plenty of other threads for that. I'm writing this because in the advertisements for this game, it was very much emphasized that Henry was a fighter AND a lover that could seduce and woo women. It just seems strange to me that they advertise like that but none of the straight options have close to as much oomph as Theresa did. I got the impression that this game was KCD1 but improved in every way, but it doesn't seem improved in the romance department.

Clearly there is a larger volume of options, of both types, in KCD2 for Henry, but what this game boasts in quantity, it loses in quality. I'm willing to be proven wrong.

yea bro, they should have let us marry rosa anyway cus shes fictional and let us live a happy life ever since maybe in kuttenburg as a blacksmith like martin. But we just dont deserve a happy ending? instead its just free roaming with the awful speed of the horses?

That would be something. I just really expected more from the romance given how the advertisement campaign was structured. After Klara I was just like "...that's it?"

yep

I’m thinking we will see something of this type in a dlc but i do agree they skimped this type of story and experience in this version

[redeyedraven]

well, the closest we get is during the marriage-festivities.

In definitely got hints if homosexual tension un the first game, he baths with Hans.

Now I have no idea where you are from and I am not judging you, but back where I am from if you bath with another man you are gay.

It is kind of an unwritten thing, no one needs to say its, it is just true.

That's cool. Completely irrelevant though and there are a lot of countries where bathing with another man is not gay. If you do a minimum of research, it's easy to discover that men bathing together was very common in medieval Europe.

This unwritten rule that it's auto-gay to be in proximity of another naked man is made-up puritan ♥♥♥♥ from your brain

Even the night with the priest was a better montage than any of the romances we had here, I agree. Almost every one of the romance scenes from the first one was better in every way. It really is a shame they put so little effort into it.

My thoughts exactly. I've already encountered two romance options where the intimate scene is just a cut-to-black

Must be a great country.
Anyway, I stepped into the bath after he asked twice, with full armor on. Mud and blood in his bath didn't seem to bother him. Then I got out to strip dice his wench.
Not a single hint of 'homosexual tension' there. Just drunk friends.

yeah, I truly thought through every single scene in the first game between hans and henry to understand if there was any hint of gay that the sequel could be predicated on?

I concluded absolutely not - even the bathing scene is in the context of debauched, heterosexual activity and has a moral twist as well. It's a recognisably heterosexual scene, with alcohol involved.

so nah - not buying the previous post. stick to my view that they reconned gayness into the sequel to fit an agenda.

Well after I've died alone in a shed in Witcher 3 because I didn't choose to snowball-fight with Ciri (no joke, this was one of the 3 skill checks in the whole game for the ending), I won't invest my time in such a long RPG anymore if I don't even have a shot getting a happy ending.

It seems only logical there was more effort put in it for the sequel.
But perhaps not enough for outdated, almost medieval gamers like me.

LOL, in these romance scenes and dialog, I don't see the fruits of their extra effort. I do see it in other aspects of the game of course.
