But look at the bright side of things, Ultrasmurfs aren't perfect anymore. They have a flaw, a BIG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FLAW.

True.

And you dont understand anything about Warhammer. This is not the game for you kid

Funny~ You sound like you can determine it, but we all know that you can't. ^^
And it seems like this game does have romance, so maybe you should try to look at reality.
This is 2023, not your old school age anymore.

To answer the "when did romance become a thing?" in RPGs: It began with Baldur's Gate 2 then went crazy with Mass Effect 1 in 05 with those 3D scenes... :p

Before that romance was not a thing in RPGs, unless there was a static one for the Player in in the overarching plot itself (like the PC saving their loved one etc.).


I'm genuinely intrigued by the romances ingame and how they go about it in this setting. I don't think its ever been truly done before save for a brooding mutual deep respect/friendship stuff in books (not that I would know) and past games. It will be interesting to see how they avoid romances being too sappy and out of place and if anyone can do it, it's Owlcat after their romance writing for Wotr. I'm pretty sure they can put the grim and the dark into them from grimdark.

On this game not being for kids: I don't think a Warhammer game could be more in your face than say Fallout 1 and 2 were at the time. Sex, drugs, genocide, massive amounts of violence etc etc. My friends and I played those when we were kids religiously and we turned out just fine!!

...

Yeah.

Some noobs can't figure out that people want touching / moving / lovely / impressive RPG story to taste rather than non-sense / endless wars.
Deep relationship / connection with companions is a main way for making it.

If a RPG can't contain romance option, which is mainly because the Screenwriter / Producer / DEVs don't know how to handle it well. (lacking of life experience for telling a good story.)

And only by making a good story with elements mentioned above, this game / product could really survive in the market, or we'll forget it very soon.

Romance may not be the only option for reaching the goal, but it is one of a key feature for it.

And for a guy who shared https://i.redd.it/7yr5qgc1mqpa1.png, which just represents what noob imagine about romance. :D

Not every RPG needs to have romance.
I played few that didn't, and multiple pen&paper RPGs where nobody felt the need to include it.
There also settings where romance simply doesn't fit.

So your notion that no romance = average or bad RPG is simply laugable.
While I didn't say that you can't have any romance in W40K especially as RT, the assumption that game will be bad if it won't have any, is something I would expect from REEddit normie and any opinion from those people needs to be igonored because that take is as bad, as takes of twitter weirdos who can't help themselves but to try and push their garbage and racist politic into every game, TV series or movie.

Of course not "all" RPGs need Romance.
I'm simply explain why people request romance option for many games to those who don't understand it.

So this game will have romance, including with a filthy Xeno.
That said, Rogue Trader is perhaps the only setting in WH 40k where such "frivolity" can be included and not seem completely out of place. The setting for every Warhammer 40k game is that in the grim dark future, there is only war. Not much lovin, touchin, squeezin going on there.
Rogue Traders have a responsibility to grow and maintain their dynasty. They will look for advantageous liaisons and will look at things probably very much like middle age fantasy nobility would look on marriages etc.

It would be more likely that they would marry someone who brings wealth and power to the table, and then have their love toy that they run around the galaxy with.

So people need not fear that they won't have romances... you just might not be satisfied with your options.
For instance, I am a guy that never plays a female character.
I do not romance males as I do not have any desire for same sex couples.
So the options will be a cold trader, a dirty xeno, a mutant with 3 eyes, and a psyker who is on edge and ready to blow.
For female characters or gay male characters, it is even more bleak.... I can not stand Heinrich even though he is a powerful character. Our Tech Priest can't mate. Our Seneschal is already a grandfather and too crunchy. Space Marine... heh. I REALLY wish they had not made it a mangy wolf.
I am betting that with DLC and or future chapters, that we might get additional follower options since we can easily kill off the psyker. We might banish the Sister, and we could conceivably get rid of the rest... so I am hoping we get a Druchari / Dark Eldar Wych....
But that is just me! Since they were allowed in the TT I have my hopes up!

Peace

Dont tell me you can romance a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ space marine in this game? And a dark eldar is even more impossible. Romance is not in their vocabulary. Whats next, an Eversor bringing you flowers?

Can we stop with this raping of lore please

Space Marine could be a big hairy love toy for you
Dark Eldar are possible mercs for the Rogue Trader just as the Eldar is.
Human/Eldar lovin is a fact of lore- well, ok, he is more than human, but less than a god,, Robby Da Omega Smurf has an Eldar mistress....
So yeah not only is he sleeping with a dirty xeno, but apparently for Primarchs at least, his junk still works after thousands of years....

Rogue Traders boffing an Eldar is no big deal, of either persuasion.

No the Space Marine is not a romance option.

Dark Eldar can be possible mercs yeah, but their idea of "romance" would make Camellia nauseous. Roboute does not have a big tiddy Eldar gf. The only thing that man needs is an Excel spreadsheet. And the Emprah of course

Not to mention that Eldars aren't trust worthy, and Dark Eldars? You would probably find more honest Sorcerers of Tzeentch than them.

Then I wonder what's wrong with you, it sounds like having companion"s" makes you loss the sense of romance. :D
Or you won't apply the example above (https://i.redd.it/7yr5qgc1mqpa1.png) to represent your view. XD
