I liked how in the DD games, there is no love interest that, no matter how much you may personally dislike them, they were the character's lover throughout the game. I also liked how you could become engaged to the elvish woman in the southern forests, optionally- but the dialogue seemed somewhat dry and I don't think many women would conisder marriage after a few conversations and favors. What I would like in the next DD game is the choice of several, thought-out and realistic love interests the player can choose from- or even choose not to have one at all!
Another thing that would make it more enjoyable would be if your decisions affected other parts of the game- like if you offend your girlfriend or her family, they could hate your character and send assassins after him. Or better yet, each of the interests could have a different but specific role they could play in the main plot, so part of your decision would be based on the rest of the game. It would set up variation and replayability, if done well.
Anyone else have their opinions on this?
