Do people want romances? In a Looter-Shooter game? There is something seriously odd here. Though my two cents is that some people who are hyped for Anthem might not be aware of what a Looter-Shooter actually is, which is a game for you to gather some friends and grind for loot together. There aren't even companions. NPCs are for the most part either vendors or quest givers. Solo play if available is a mere compromise. So really, it is extremely unlikely that there will be romance. If there's a random NPC running around Fort Tarsis people take a liking to you can bet the demand for sexy time will come. Though I think it'll be a bit more (or maybe polished better) than the looter-shooter you suggest. But hey if that's what it ends up being I'll go smash stuff with ya. That's fun too.

No romances for a game like this is not a deal breaker for me, that being said I consider them one of Bioware games' major draw and would eventually like to see them in Anthem as well. They just help make the characters feel more alive and makes the story more interesting.

From the EuroGamer interview with Mike Gamble www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-06-11-the-big-bioware-interview-the-response-to-anthem-and-the-future-of-mass-effectThanks to Hrungr for posting in the Twitter Thread! Romances - what was the thinking behind leaning away from that in Anthem? Mike Gamble: We always focus on characters, but to get to know and understand a character you don't always have to have a romance. So that's the line we've drawn around this thing. There are many people in Tarsis you will get to know and you'll get close to some of them, but we didn't want romances to be a highlight of what this game is about. Anthem is a different game, the type of storytelling is different, and while romances are good for some other games they just don't fit well. It's not any more complicated than that - there's no anti-romance cabal talking to us. It's just a different game, a different type of character development. Is it the tone of game that doesn't fit? Mike Gamble: The closeness you get with characters doesn't really fit - we're not making romantic relationships or sex scenes for Anthem. There's so many characters you will get to know closely... Let's go back to Mass Effect for a second. I played Male Shepard throughout the trilogy and I was never interested in romancing Garrus but he was my best friend. I talked to him, we were best buds. That's the kind of thing we want to emphasise in Anthem. Shooting bottles on the Citadel? Mike Gamble:Yep. Will I be able to shoot bottles with someone in Tarsis? Mike Gamble: We may or may not have moments akin to that... bringing out the same camaraderie.

I love Bioware romances, but not having romances is ok by me if the other character interactions are great. I played a FemQuisitor in DAI and my favorite characters to hang out with were Dorian and Cassandra, neither of whom I had a romantic attachment to.

I thought Anthem was announced as an "MP-only" game? O.o
Did people think they were going to shoe-horn romance into a multiplayer shooter? How would that work?
"Press 'A' to teabag your defeated opponent."
"Press 'B' to flirt with your defeated opponent."

Anthem is not MP only, Fort Tarsis is the SP area in which we interact with the NPCs, including our ground crew.
And look how sexy he is! [WARNING: SPIDERS]

May I ask a favor? I have a huge arachnophobia, and while I can live with Mr Testicle-spider I'd prefer not to see any real images of spiders in this thread. Or if you do post them, have them under spoilers and warn what's in there. It's not that I've seen anything triggering yet, I just kinda want to preemptively mention it because I can imagine it cropping up a couple of times. Pretty please?

May I ask a favor? I have a huge arachnophobia... Inevitably in-game spiders are going to crop up on the threads. If there's a particularly gratuitous real-life spider I'm quite happy to spoiler them for posters who don't, as you're not the only one. If a thread is about spiders, that would be on-topic and fair game to post. I would tend to do the same for Trypophobics.
