Silk Fox Female romance, most unique romance

[DeadSpace47]

l truly believe this romance is the most unique, fulfilling out of every same female romance in games. While it is somewhat disappointing at the end since even the game's ending is anti-climatic( no post exploration), the fact you can be empress with the best empress, makes it perfect.
The reason it is the most unique is: She(along with everyone else) actually recognise and talk you like a woman. It is pretty rare to see it games with gender selection It isn't just a few times, l see lot of times they reference it in some way. which makes it more immersive. The most funny thing is how she gets surprised at the flirting of a woman towards her but goes along with it as the game goes on. It is one of the purest romances that aren't influenced by the certain agendas. That is my experience from playing lot of RPGs games with the same romance concept.
In short, the romance feels most complete (despite the ending) solely because of the journey( how the romance starts and proceeds).
If the game was made in this era, it would be just like any other copy pasted, filled with agendas and boring tropes not used correctly. There isn't much to say about it unless something extraordinary happens.
It is amusing to see how RPGs of before 2010s have such a punch to them, it makes you always smile when playing them.Not to say there aren't some recently

Just text at the end.
I do consider this game one of the best of the best. It is just the journey ended fast and without closure enough. Kind of like as a child, you wanted a bit more than what was given otherwise you go " was that that all" and feel sadnened.
Perhaps it is the fact, that won't see such games anymore.

Ah yes, that was kinda lowbudgety. I thought if you mean the kiss being blacked out there's a mod for that

l know that moment and maybe why(2005?) it got removed. So the scene was there but hidden and the mod enabled that or the modder did something about the scene?

[Sunsetter]

Not sure how the mod works, but instead of the blackout you get a full kiss.

You know more actual and good romances of the same type?

There's a reason for that, it's because it wasn't forced. BioWare didn't stand to receive a boatload of praise for having a lesbian romance in their games, so it was done simply because they wanted to, and therefore it was a labor of love, a truly passionate endeavor by the developers.

Unfortunately, today when there are same-sex relationships in games, it was practically mandatory, done to meet a diversity quota, garner praise from critics, and appeal to the LGBTQ+ Community for one reason and one reason only...
The majority of developers typically don't actually care about equality, diversity, or representation, and it shows because the characters and their interactions are shallow, stereotypical, completely two-dimensional, but unfortunately the LGBTQ+ Community was so underrepresented in videogames, that they're mostly happy just to be acknowledged, even if it is by characters that were basically just shoehorned in by the developers to appeal to a broader demographic.

Jade Empire predates this marketing trend and the virtue-signaling that perpetuates it, so BioWare's attempt at same-sex romance was actually genuine.

[DeadSpace47]

Forced, that is the word.
One dimensional characters are present with games not even acknowledging the gender of the protagonist and not behaving like they should be according to the gender.

l have yet to find a proper same gender romance in a video game as pretty much every romance found is exactly the same, much like how people have become these days. Ironic isn't it? Most of the things we see in media or games are the same to one another. Reminds me of American Psycho in which everyone behaves and looks the same. All meaningless just to live a life of destruction.

l didn't understand exactly what you meant at the last paragraph. Which virtue signaling that perpetuates?

You know, how many and many games talk to the player as a neutral, just the protagonsit or the "hero". They never refer, talk differently or make the game experience different if you make the male or female choice. So all the disconnect is there and immersion is broken.
"Too much effort"would be called today. On games where there is gender selection.
THey only use the pronouns game which is pointless really.

I would have loved if there had been a second game made by the same people with the same mind set as they made this game. Even if it isn't one that directly follows the events of this game, this game brings such nostalgia for me.
Also with today's tech for games and so on. It would have the potential to go so far.
