Races and romance poll

Well, that's fair. It's not that much of a precedent if it's framed as being super unlikely.

Repeating such a specific set of circumstances would also be pretty un-Bioware.

Still...I feel like it's still an option, even if it's just a friendship taking on a romantic tone (i.e. nonsexual), even if it's only understood that way on the part of the protagonist.

Worst companion ever. The minute they say "push it, give me one more set," I will stab them.

I have to admit I do this self-talk in my head the last minute or so on the treadmill. It actually works!

I think it would show up when people were weeping after losing bets or having their fantasy team crash and burn, and then it would stab them to end their suffering.

Devil’s advocate, people do that too. The only way to figure out what love is like is to sort of go through the motions first. At the beginning it’s all “I intellectually know it would be socially awkward if we broke up” then only later it turns into “I can imagine our life together”.

I mean, I’ve had crushes that started with the second bit, but they’ve never evolved into real relationships.

I suppose that’s what’s so appealing about spirit LIs, the idea that they might start in a more cerebral place of “let’s try this just for the experience” (or even to fulfill a demon’s selfish goals re: creating emotions), with love coming at some distant later date, once their lives have gotten tangled together.

Basically, like this:

If the quality of romances has gone down, wouldn't it make more sense to focus more on romances?   

So please tell us what is missing? Not enough options that YOU specifically like?

OK, getting back on topic ...



Alas, there is little firm visual evidence of snake people, or snoeple if you will.



Now, this snake person is admittedly not sexy, but keep in mind that it is an under-aged adolescent and not an adult snake person. Those are probably sexier. Or at least taller.
