It wouldn't be a BioWare game without a little hanky panky spanky. What do you think we'll get? Hub hijinks? Teammate tete-a-tetes? A little solo suit action? Taking all bets!

My guess? No romance except maybe some kind of brothel. I doubt there will be romanceable NPC's that we interact with out in the world.

"If" there's going to be romance I doubt it'll even be close to the unnecessary level that ME and DA do it at. They could easily just do it like ESO where two players get married for a small XP boost when they play together.

I doubt we'll get companions or dialogue options, let alone romance.

None I hope.
At the end of the day Bioware is unbelievably bad at writing anything resembling a "romance", If fact they are far better at writing bromances so perhaps they should stick with that.
Some Bromances and some options for casual sex would be best suited for Bioware's "Talents" In my opinion.
Edit: I wonder what is the female equivalent to Bromance, Sismance?

Glad to see I'm not the only one here who don't want romances in their next game. No romance = no endless complaints everywhere about who can/can't sleep with who, especially when all you're searching for is an intelligent discussion about the game itself.

My bet is "romantic" animations received from loot boxes à la Overwatch as a reward for leveling up. Or purchasable via microtransactions! Then we can perform those animations on team mates.
The necessary consent request popups might be a bit of a mood killer though.

They go full MP romance this time. It will basically develop into a VR dating sim.

None at all.
It's a co-op mmo lite and romance has no place in it. The writers will concentrate mostly on story missions for the solo component of the game and for some special co-op weekend events. This will eliminate, as someone up thread mentioned, the romance whiners....

I assume that most scenery interactions are player created. In the fort, it seems to be FIrst Person perspective, and out of the fort, it's about killing things. It really leaves no place for romance, save for a recurring plot-advancing mysterious stranger outside the fort.

I'd be fine with or without romances for this game. I don't think we're going to have companions so it would probably have to be more like flings. I still think it would've been cool to have companions fill the empty spots, so if you played SP you would have 3 companions instead of just being alone.

I feel that romances (and companion interaction in general) are an important part of BioWare games; Mass Effect Andromeda took an incredible step backwards from DAI on how it handled them, so I hope that, should they be in Anthem, they actually feel like an improvement or, at least, at the same level of BioWare's past games.

I'll be honest and say that I don't think there'll be romance options in Anthem and I'm perfectly fine with that. It's one thing if this was an old IP but it isn't. It's a new IP that they can establish as they see it and as they prefer. So I have no problem with Anthem being different from the old games in that regard.
Romance can be an interesting addition but it's not a necessary component for me to enjoy a Bioware game. I didn't romance anybody in KOTOR or Jade Empire and it didn't impact my enjoyment of those games. The same goes for any playthrough I've played in Mass Effect and Dragon Age where I haven't romanced anybody.
Just give me a good story, good characters and I'm good.

I would rather them just not have romances in this one, truth be told. I don't think it would fit terribly well in the Destiny inspired style they appear to be going for.

If there is, it would be with some NPCs we chiefly see the fort, a bit like Cullen or something
I think Bioware might be better off leaving off it for this game. I don't think it would fit as well with the Destiny style game, though I would still like the opportunity to develop relationships with NPCs.

Nope. I suspect sex and love are not going to be concepts in Anthem. They are necessary, just because they're a common idea in BioWares previous titles.

No romance = no endless complaints everywhere about who can/can't sleep with who, especially when all you're searching for is an intelligent discussion about the game itself. You know, if there are too many interesting or at least good looking NPC's in the game world, complaints about romance, or lack thereof, are pretty much inevitable. Search your feelings; you know it to be true.

No romance means they'd alienate a huge chunk of the traditional BioWare fan base. A fan base that may not even care about Destiny/Division type games.

If there was ever going to be a bioware game without romances it'll probably be this one.
Personnally I'm hoping (not necesarily expecting, but hoping) that we'll be able to do all the story content with friends aswell as without. With every player getting a chance at a dialogue option like swtor.
Either way the coop means we're probably not getting companions and I'm guessing no romances either, not unless they're npcs, which, possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.
