bible... like... really!?

lets just remember:

the topic began with... so is there romance or not in the game???

and of course we got no official answer. at least the game is out next week, then we will know for sure.

With respect, I'd rather hear it from someone who understands Gensis

I think it started with "Is there romance?". Then we added sex. Then we discussed could Original Sin mean sex. So we discussed what the Original Sin was. Course we were half way to Chattanooga by then.

Would still like to have clarified the supposed contradictions between the interview and all the 'game features' we have.

As far as Larian deliberately tying some of the cultural meaning to Original Sin and being very much aware of what they are invoking by using this title AND the romantic implications of everything they've shown there's this bit here:

At this point there's not much more to say on this topic other than: Larian had better not back away and scrap all romance options and content.

Oh I understand genesis....you may deny it to the day you die and of course I expect nothing less from bible heads than to claim that anyone who disagrees with them understands nothing but the fact is I very much understand genesis.

I'm neither any sort of Christian or a "Bible head." Regardless, your protest has been duly noted and duly disregarded. If you have anything to say that isn't drenched in self-righteous contempt and misconception, I'd be happy to hear it. Until then, this conversation's over.

If you want to continue in this conversation, please use PM.
I dare to claim that for most people it is not that interesting as for you.

That image says it all.

There is no love story. There is a love story if you want to go in that direction. The game has no romance. Your companion can be your friend or lover.

STOP CONTRADICTING YOURSELVES, Larian.

It's like 50% hates romance, but the other half wanted it. Frustrating.

Speculation: The Thread

Maybe, just maybe human relationships are much more complex then just "friends", just "lovers", maybe and this might sound so weird: maybe relationships can be everything and none of the mentioned as they progress over time. How about not thinking binary?

really? i mean ... really?

Ewww video game romance, aka one of the worst idea of the industry in the last decades.
Thanks bioware for teaching far nerds they can date virtual bimbos by playing rpgs.

This is an old psychological trick.

If this topic will ever read any of devs, this picture may be shock big enough to give us the answer.

It's easy to ignore long articles, but the images will dig into memory.

It is a game that isn't about romance, it just may (or may not) be something that's added. I never expected a lot from it, certainly not anything that's complex. Even actual 'life sims' can't get romance right. Heck most can't get it right in real life.

oh..oh... i thought it was taking too long for this kind of post to appear here.

anyway... as usual, people like to talk about self-experience... righ!?

thanks for sharing your life experience with us. its was meaningful no doubt.

love is for the weak! power is all that matters!
