I'm still curious about why the "nature of the protagonists' relationship" might feel important for someone to know prior to playing the game, if anyone does feel like that and would care to share.
Beyond just wanting to know about the state of the feature I mean.
Well let's compare Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2. BG1 has no romance and I know it. BG2 does and I know it. I played BG1 completely differently than I played BG2. BG1 if I felt like disagreeing with Jaz I just did, what difference did it make? But in BG2, when I knew she was a romance option it completely changed how I treated Jaz. It's like when you meet a cute girl in college and how you treat her before you find out she's engaged. When you think she's 'available' you treat her differently ... there are more options. Either way you can be good friends, but in one situation there is an invisible wall. You approach the game the same way based on what you know is available.
Rightio.
