Popular with who? Do you have the stats on how many people experienced the Tristian romance vs the others?I wonder how the writers feel when the stat people tell them that 0.01% of players explored the male NPC romances
Everything has to be 50-50 these days, gotta have equal amounts of female, male, hetero, gay, bi, dwarf, midget, furry, blah blah blah. Alright, whatever. But can we get fucking real for a moment, there is no fucking way that there is as much demand for manlove and hunky NPC mans as there is for some big-titted elf waifus, for a game whose playerbase is 99.9% male.
Alright, just had to get that out my fucking system.
Apparently Tristan was a popular romance though, so either a lot of gay people playing as women or more likely a decent amount of women. I Personally want the Queen but I don't think she would even look at me so I'll find love else where.
Also Kingmaker is a bad example as the female romanceable NPCs in that game are fucking trash. About as appealing as a car crash victim.
Time to face facts, the demand for romanceable male NPCs is near zero. If they were entirely dropped, the fallout would be a 0.1% drop in sales and some angry Twitter hashtags for a few months.
