    That'd be kind of interesting actually...

    As you wander around the levels, you slowly become closer to your waifu/husbandro, your emotional bond strengthening each time you run into each-other around the bonfire, eventually, near the end of the game this culminates in...

    Them going hollow and you're forced to kill them. You cannot save them or bring them back to life. Dark Souls already had several NPCs eventually go hollow once you exhausted their dialogue/inventory.

    Okay, I would never seriously want romance added to Dark Souls, it does not belong in the games, but if for some horrible reason it had to be added, that would be the most acceptable implementation.

    Wasn't that your sibling? And if I recall, they can actually be saved by sending them to the Grey Wardens.

    Ah right, Avelline's husband. Shockingly, that was probably the best scene in the game. Sure, he died before you could give a fuck about him, but on the other hand, he died before you were wishing he was dead.

    Just looking at that thread makes me fucking sick to my stomach. Why these fucking LGBT animals have to put their bullshit everywhere. If you're a faggot, just keep it to yourself. It's nothing to be proud of. These LGBT freaks who constantly try to defend and promote their sexual orientations all deserve to die very violently.

    They should also allow to romance rats at the beginning. I missed this option in start of Fallout.

    I mean, i dont like rats, but maybe someone like sex with rats and will be offended if they dont put it in video game.


    Also, about killing jews, i heard some may like this idea and get offended if this dont get in this game.


    Gave devs should follow ALL peoples requests, gay romances included.

    Well I just started Wasteland this morning for the first time, went with the default party, went to Highpool, checked out the place, noticed a locked door. Had no key so used strength to break it open, pissed off some fuckers. Got clues about potential quests along with the notes on the wall. Saw some rubble in some building, used perception skill to notice it was a generator that could be replaced. With my new knowledge I could finally talk to the kid about things. Went to the Agricultural center, took the bunny quest, saw a locked gate, tried using strength, didn't work. Used crowbar, it worked, picked up my first loot. Fought lizards, couldn't hit them for shit with guns so I switched to knives. Oops, out of range so I ran forward and cut up the fuckers.

    In just a few minutes I had to use my brain and my non combat skills more than in every Bioware game this decade.

    THIS IS WHAT I WANT FROM WASTELAND 2.

    Games simply don't have the depth to properly handle blowing peoples' heads off while at the same time providing social commentary about faggotry.

    To them, if you're gay, or a lesbian, or a bisexual, you have to tell the whole damn world about it.

    It's funny, because by that logic, I should go to Trafalgar Square, with a signboard in front of me that says "IM AZN AND IM PROUD!" just to be edgy or to abide by whatever rationale these fools concoct to justify their arguments.

    I wish I can just forget about this argument on romances that we have over there, or at least ignore it, but it's difficult to not look at them and be reminded about the pathetic state of gaming today. It's sad that one even has to request for gay characters to be added to the game, under the irrational argument that it's "more realistic".

    Loved the giovanni chick that got really mad if you flirted with her as a woman even with max social stats. A challenge! Lulz.

    Of all the suspensions of disbelief that is required to enjoy a game, the romantic connections are the hardest ones for me to suspend my disbelief of. It is so completely inhuman and unnatural to fall in virtual love via a few cutscenes that it's not worth doing. The whole thing is cringe inducing.

    Because their shit writing actually works with their fanbase? There were a lot of people buying Mass Effect sequels so they could see Tali undressed.
    They created a whole dating sim fanbase around themselves.
    Fuck even in ME1 every dialogue with any character on your ship is just for "romancing". You either romance the character or you avoid talking to it at all.

    Bioware fanbase would need quest compass first to begin the quest.

    What to avoid : replay value. Gamers want to see everything on their first playthrough now.

    There are some awesome facts in the last update, like the wealthy Wasteland 1 fan that proposed to fund the game all by himself. Amazing stuff.
