Pathfinder Pathfinder: WoTR - What the heck happened to female characters in this game?

but they're serviceable and fit to purpose as role-laying options.

Do they? You either do what they want or you have to kill them. Not really much of an option there. The rest are one-note goody-two-shoes.

Arueshalae has good and evil routes. Not too difficult.

Camellia can be wrangled by a good character if you meta game the situation hard, choosing extremely specific dialogue and extremely specific choices at extremely specific times in order not to compromise on alignment too much (you have to compromise a bit because a maximally good-aligned character would just finish her when they discover her secret).

Wenduag is the most complicated because she has a Romance score and a Respect score and the two intersect in odd ways. Like Camellia, you have to choose extremely specific dialogue and make extremely speciifc choices at extremely specific times.

Camellia, fork her and deliver her to autorities.

But that's not roleplaying, that's metagaming. You're forced to go out of your way so the OC donut steel characters don't turn against you. The male companions aren't made like that, you can take your choices freely and they still engage with you and follow your orders. What upsets them are usually self-obvious choices like killing Lann's tribe members or letting Daeran's cousin die. The double-standard is annoying.

I think the romance options in this game are lacking to say the very least.

Or perhaps I should say that I find every romance option in this game to have some level of cringe....

either way.
