Please devs: better concentrate on other things to improve : humour, easter eggs, hidden things to discover, a good dialog-system and forget about just a few people complains about hating a male or female hero to play with ! Sorry to say, but you never can do make a RPG that everybody in the world wish to play, NEVER !! Don't try it, it's Mission Impossible !!
If the worst case scenario comes about(your scenario) and everything remains as it is I hope there won't be a forced romance. I just find it obnoxious and predictable.
