Ah-ha-ha-hah... it's just getting less and less disappointing. Thank you for making my day. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha....

And Peebee, while her attire might be a bit suggestive and whatnot, seems and acts too much like a child for me to even consider going there. She looks like rebellious 15 years old (akin to Mission Vao, as you pointed out previously) and not a romance material. I mean, really, most females wear their hair long. If a goddamn spectre and Lieutenant-Commander of the Alliance (Ashley) can wear her hair long like a model, then I'm sure as hell officials of semi-military initiative can wear it long (at least chin-lenght for God's sake) as well, yet we already have two that have it cut very short. It's definitely not the hair most people find attractive and definitely not the hair most women have.

Ah, so far as I saw, the young roguish females are among the most popular romance options. Imoen, Mission and Vette are really popular NPCs. My spin through the Asian MMOs showed me that lolis are about as much, if not more so, a male fetish as the tall buxom goddesses. I will not out of hand dismiss PeeBee as an appealing romantic option for a lot of males based on that experience. You might not share their interest, but there are definitely a sex-appeal reason to the male gamers audience to BioWARE churning out perky, pesky, tiny-tiny rebellious, sweet and girly in every game they have made.

I know that BioWARE's tattooed females with shaven heads always brought negative responses from males, be that What's-her-name Witch from NWN2, Kalyio and Jack, and I am not sure why they supply shaven female characters as love interests as opposite to an interesting companion. Perhaps it is because pretty much every female character on the crew traditionally is made romanceable for a male.

My prediction is that Cora will likely be conventionally pretty, and have long flowing locks or pony tails. But handling long hair is hard in the video games, and I absolutely despise the long hair textures in the said Oriental MMOs. They clip and do atrocious things.... But hey, it can be done, and why not if people like it. I certainly won't be threatened by a gorgeous human gal on the crew. I'll likely try to nail her on the M!Ryder play-through then drop her for the Turian gal.

Young and rougish? Sure, but just by the misstep she does in the PS4 presentation you can see she's too childish to fit that criteria.

Also, NWN2 is Obsidian and not BioWare. Obsidian never focused much on romances. It's better, their storytelling was imo miles ahead of everyone else and it should be what they focus on, since their romance sub-plots were, hehe, sub-par, to mildly say. I honestly think Bastilla in KOTOR was the best romance BioWare ever done to date, even though it was kinda cliche. It tied well into the story and developed fairly naturally. I only wished it was more fleshed out in the Dark Side ending, since there is no acknowledgement of it aside from assurance from Bastilla during fight with her that she will stand beside you as your lover should you turn into the Dark Side.

I will disagree, because Bao-Dur's relationship was what rocked my boat for a long time despite me playing pretty much every romance in BG1, BG2, NWN2, KOTOR, JE and SWTOR, on the strength of the "The longest you have looked at me..." dialogue (it was not intentionally romantic, but it was more emotionally engaging than the whole lot of "I will prove my love in bed tonight, oh female PC!").

Have you seen loli obsession in the Asian games? Mission and PeeBee fit right in, and there is no shortage of males going for that type. I am not, so I suggest you go ask the guys who love lolis. because the boards are full of: why loli's don't have big enough breasts? Can we have this class in loli? I am NOT going to play this game if we can't have a loli! Why the panties don't have enough lace on a loli? 

Regardless, I do hope you all will get the goddess you are looking for, with boobs and hair, and everything. I like the charm the romances bring to the video-games, and it would be wrong to say that looks play no part.
