Well at least they tried. I didn't really expect to get anything - I know they were shooting for the moon, and really, I feel I got more than my money's worth just from participating in their community - getting a functional product would just have been a nice bonus!!

I agree. Even if it's small and minor, or tacked on, at least they did it. I have no issues with it. Plus, it's not like any video game romance actually works good anyway. Unless it's the Sims. Because it's the Sims and they will do anything.

that reminds me of some of the hilarious poo poo I heard after WHO redefined infertility (expanding the definition from failure to conceive after 12+ months of unprotected sex to include single men and women who want to have children but do not, which seems to be primarily a move to pressure the NHS to expand IVF accessibility). the funniest take i heard was that now all the incels will be classified as disabled and able to receive disability payments based on their inability to find romantic partners.

actually the original DA had a pretty interesting romance sideplot that i thought really added to the plot, but unfortunately i don't recall it being followed up in a satisfying way during the expansion, and i haven't played the sequels. my (female) PC romanced alistair, then morganna or w/e the witch in black's name was convinced my PC to ask alistair to knock the witch up with his gray warden baby, and poo poo got weird. it was pretty arthurian but i don't know if bioware ever did anything w/r/t a payoff in DA3.

I'm sure you're already totally cool and popular! Having many bad friends is a worse situation than a few good friends. It was a good way to learn how to establish some fuckin' boundaries with weirdos though.

Of course not. They forgot all about it and the sequels had you roll a new character. Which is too bad, I'd really like to see an RPG with crazy romance sideplots made worse by the player's choices.

You're better off not playing the sequels. DA2 and DA3 had interesting characters but terrible gameplay.

You'd be surprised maybe. Though really not too many. It's just curiosity. Hearing from the horses mouth is like affirmation of what they probably think. And I think the ones who ask are just either secretly kinky, interested in it but don't want to admit it to themselves, setting you up for the "well you just never had a good man (like me)", or just being rude to set you up with a "well that sounds just wrong and gross." in front of people to make you feel good and happy.
