    That could be even a game mechanic: use the party members as a biological weapon incubator by using them to create devious venereal diseases and then have them go in towns, have sex with the agents of your enemies and infect these organizations using that attack vector. Read this gold nugget: Greg Egan's The Moral Virologist. That's the shit right there!

  6. Believe it or not I am not being Angsty about it.

    Can you think of some reason why Safiya and Gann and PST romances are there in MoTB and PST?

    The Elanee romance was just there to troll players. So you can romance the woman- ... except she's a horrible freak that stalked you since you were a baby and watched you like a mother your entire life. Typical Obsidian.

    Wait a minute, so it's not normal for people to pursue a romantic relationship with their mothers?

    I...I...I've been lied to.

    I dunno, I think having friendships possibly leading to romances is perfectly reasonable. I mean anytime groups of people travel or work together for long periods of time, that kind of shit happens. In fact, we need look no further than Green Shirt Girl. Wasn't she an Obsidian romance option that got picked up by that guy standing next to her in the live stream? Didn't that Annie person who used to post here get picked up through a romance option by Brian Mitsoda? I think the problem comes from people who fap to their own work like Gaider and the fanboys who want to lick his cum off Felicia Day. I can take or leave em, but I think including romances is reasonable in some ways. I'd personally like to LARP a loser who misses out on the hot chicks in my party as they get picked up by other party members. With the Adventurers Hall, I can simply rage replace those bitches with well behaved slaves of my own making.

    Elanee? :retarded:

    I somehow never find the romances in these games. I feel unloved. :(

    Indeed. You could definitely romance Elanee, but i doubt many people would find that a achievement. :troll:

    Yeah, it's really sad what it has come to. You must roleplay a romance. Otherwise it's not an rpg. :roll:

    You have to work quite hard to unlock them, and then you whimper in terror (Elanee and Bishop were the romances, and the most you could do with Bishop is make him run away).

    EDIT: There is a pretty well done 'recap' of all information known over at sorcerers

    What I learned from watching the stream yesterday:

    I wish I was drinking buddies with MCA.

    Tim Cain seems super chill, and I could imagine spending hours just talking about RPG mechanics with him.

    Josh Sawyer hates people.

    There are some surprising hot women working at Obsidian. Once again Obsidian > Bioware.

    Anonymous people on the internet will say stupid and/or inappropriate things, oh wait I didn't learn that at all since it's been common knowledge for 20 years.

    Bioware had romances subforum?

    Because some people think that sex makes everything "mature".
