My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
I'm torn... on the one hand, I wish they had picked better candidates for the romances. On the other hand, I have low expectations for the quality of the writing in those romances anyway. On a third hand (post-nuclear mutation, yo), I'd prefer a better selection of companions for even my low quality romances.

My decline is complete. Just give me a waifu who can string words together in a halfway coherent fashion and I guess I'll be happy and sail into the west.

What's the benefit here, will they fight better for you?

I mean, in the KOTORs, brainwashing "motivating" your companions gave benefits, even fighting ones.

About the DLCs, as long as they implement all classes properly, screw their shitty companions. Screw them!

Also, I'm very capable of playing through the game solo, I think... all the experience for me mwarharhar.

Damn, wanted to sex that barbarian bitch. I don't like the look of the Felicia Day one. I guess Joan D'Arc it is.

Let's see if by Sept 25 we're rejoicing with hamsters and rangers, or if they feel a certain hamster's burning stare.

Modern "crpgs" mate, you either go for the short-haired, not-a-dyke or the bi-racial, pansexual (bonus points if secretly trans) degenerate to virtue signal how progressive you are.

It's certainly weird info to put out there pre-release, "oh for two of our romances, you have to break them up or have a threesome with em to experience that content." That's a weird enough framing by itself never mind spoiling any surprise that setup might have elicited.

I bet that the corresponding rage in the Codex post-release would have been glorious. How mean to do this.

I agree they didn't need to go into detail about the love triangle/whatever, but in this day and age, it feels like some limited spoilage is a necessity. As soon as romance is mentioned in an RPG, players want to know who the options are, what their sexual preferences will be, and exactly how hard they should rage about underrepresentation.

It's called fan service.

Also the fact that most of the target audience are basement dweller virgins.

If that were true then the game would resemble a harem anime, or something like The Witcher; banging your way across the realm collecting notches like playing cards, choosing between two sexy sorceresses, etc.

What virgin nerd dreams about spit-roasting a chick with their orc bro? That's fucking weird.

I guess you haven't visited many porn sites. That's a lot less weird than what people are actually into now. And the basement virgins just want romances in games, the SWJs are not going to give them what they really want most, so the basement virgins are forced to jerk off to whatever virtue-signaling garbage the devs come up with.

I'd like to say I am above romance in games, and I mostly am. But I really enjoyed having a virtual girlfriend in ME 1 and 3 with Ashley Williams. She is my pretend game girlfriend and I've never pretend cheated on her in any game, including ME 2, and never will unless someone makes a character as sensible and reasonable as she was. But, to this day, besides Scotchmo and Chisel, she is probably the only companion I ever liked in any game (and that was because they genuinely said funny shit). I hate ridiculous characters like Minsc, I don't mind low-key and subtle characters like the blond haired beard farmer guy in PoE. But most of them are written as zany and super-quirky-cute nonsensical characters by lowbrow sycophantic writers to specifically appeal to little kids.

Eder carries PoE, the games would be a lot less enjoyable without him.

Based on this, threesome and gangbang don't even show up for the men's list, confirming my theory these romances are written by fat blue-haired tumblr chicks for other fat blue-haired cat ladies:

Although apparently ya'll want to see japanese mothers getting fucked up the ass, so that's pretty weird too. But women are generally into way freakier stuff than men.

Women searching for "popular with women" :lol:

Talk about knowing what you like.

The fact that lesbian is searched more by women though it's interesting. It is true then what porn taught me that all women want to fuck other women.

So as a guy you either seduce a lesbo or have to convince a strong librul female to stop racemixing with nig... I mean orcs. Either that or go fag. Did russians actually write this? Did Avellone? I didn't expect such sjw cuckery here, am disappoint.

I fear for our future generations playing this kind of thing.
