BG is the first game I know of that had romances in it ... it you look closer, that element of "social interaction" - that was quite new to the community of hacking and slashing male role-players <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> has been quite deeply exploited by the development of the Sims. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

No-one thought that the Sims could be such a huge success - no wonder : They didn't take the female consuments into account ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Everyone thought that computer gaming was a male-oriented or even worse : almot male-only business - until the Sims came ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, the only thing I don't like about the romances in RPG's like BGII and such is they always write better romances for the guys than they do for the girls.
I mean give me a break.
What girl in her right mind wants to romance a pompous A** like Anomen in BGII.
They did do better with Valen in HoTU though I must admit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

they did better, but us males still have the upperhand in the romance department since we can flirt w/ 2 henchwoman. females only have one choice, unless of course you fancy flirting w/ deekin. yikes!!! (gives me the shivers) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

what's the offspring of a human & a kobold going to be? godzilla? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
