Romantic scenes?

[Snark]

Is it me or did anyone else sense something brewing between Adam and Faridah or Adam and Kitner for the Missing Link? Am I the only one surprised there wasn't some romance involved or was it because Adam was too preoccupied with Megan at the time? There certainly seemed to be some tension between Adam and Kitner and to a lesser extent Faridah.

I think you can definitely make a case for it. The devs probably just had too many other story related things to get through. Jensen's kinda running like crazy the whole game. There's not really a good time to stop and say, ok, time for a romantic subplot. Nor do I think it was needed. It would've served no purpose in the story, except possibly making it weaker, because it would definitely take away from Jensen being so determined to find Megan.

However, if you read the set of comics that goes with the game, Jensen does have a love interest/fling in that story.

Actually, I think that most of the girls flirted with Jensen. It wasn't just Faridah, Megan, and Keitner. It was also Eliza and Zhao. When Jensen first met Zhao, she was flirting with him. She was trying to manipulate him. Jensen looked like if he was admiring her charm. I also think that this might've also happened with him with Eliza if I'm not mistaken. If you look back to the way that they talked to Jensen, you can tell that they were being flirty. Faridah looked like if she found Jensen to be attractive. I don't know if there was much going on with Jensen and Keitner. I guess I never put much thought into it. I'm sure that Jensen was in love with Megan.

I guess I may be the odd one out, but I didn't get any kind of romantic or flirtatious vibe from any of the characters. Faridah I think was just meant to display an appreciation of what Adam went through and is doing to save Megan, while with Keitner didn't seem to have any interest either... I think you may just be looking too much in to it and wanting something from the female characters that isn't there. I also find it especially unlikely as the lead writer was female and I would expect she's not as keen to throw in gratuitous flirting to pander to the male audience.

Nope. It's obvious Adam has it bad for Jaron Namir. Sexual tension you can cut with a knife.

Personally, I found there to be more of a romantic vibe between Jensen and Pritchard than anybody else.

Sometimes I did think that they fought like a maried couple.

I agree with the others here who didn't get much of a romantic vibe from this story. Even with Megan Reed, who was the cause of his journey, there didn't really seem to be any active romantic element. It felt more like there'd been strong romance between them in the past and it'd burned out, but they still cared a lot about each other, which are two very different things. I did get the possible vibe off Malik towards the end that she might've developed some feelings for Jensen, but it felt more like friendship, and Jensen didn't appear to return the interest if so. Zhao definitetly flirted with Jensen, but that was all manipulation, and I didn't get the impression Jensen was responsive to it on a romantic level, but more on a wanting to help someone who was in trouble level. Eliza likewize was somewhat flirtatious in her mannerisms, but Jensen primarily was interested in getting information from her. Actually, Eliza was the only character who I'd say might've had any actual interest in Jensen since she shows up unasked for when Jensen needs her, but she's also well... Eliza so I'm not positive how much you can read into any actions she takes as being of romantic nature. It's also important to remember the genre of this is film nior in a lot of ways, which typically is more focused on mystery and a distinct kind of gloomy feel, which romance generally doesn't fit prominently into.

[Snark]

Eliza turned out to be a computer though didn't it? If I was around all those women and I was Adam I would definitely be sexually overt and try to sex them =D

Pritchard is obviously angry because Adam dumped him for Megan. But Megan really just wanted to get into Adam's genes.

You're forgotting the silver-tongued bonus, so I'm totally going with Taggart and Darrow as his primary love interests given how much effort he puts in with that tongue of his to winning them over to his side. Heck, Taggart even invited him to meet up back-stage after the show in his dressing room.

Now there's a Ménage à trois I'd buy front row tickets to see.

Taggart:”What I want now is gentleness. And joy… and love. From you, Adam….you are fully functional, aren’t you?”

Adam: “Of course, but…”

Taggart: “How fully?”

Adam: “In every way, of course. I am programed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring.”

Taggart: “Oh! You jewel, that’s exactly what I hoped!”

If you talk to the receptionist at Sarif, she will ask you out. You can't respond, though . . .

[Sandwich Man]

Oh yeaaaaaah...
The polite blonde with the nose piercing. She was nice to Adam, sure, which is more than I can say for many of the other characters, but she was just someone who looked up to him.
Pritcahrd and Adam always had a bromance vibe, but not a gay one. Id've had no issue if that was canon, but for a fanfic thing that seems too out of nowhere and cliche.
Adam and Malik, though. I ship that.

[Tito Shivan]

Malik is by far the character Adam had most humane interaction with.
For the rest of the cast, Adam is basically a "Ramirez, do everything" kind of tool to fulfill their own agenda.
-Malik is the one asking Jensen about his opinion on being augmented after the attack.
-Malik's quest about her friend in Hengsha is a emotion-driven one (instead of agenda-driven)
-Malik is the one giving nicknames to Jensen (Hey "Spy-Boy")

She's basically being the one treating Adam as a person.

PS: Adam & Pritchard could totally run their own Cop Show.
