Well for what it's worth Terra I think there'll be something for romance fans in the game, though expectations will vary.
'Not really, it's not a Bioware type of game' =/= No romance of any form
Personally I'd be very surprised if there wasn't something there though it may not be what people personally expect. I imagine we aren't going to get any new info unless the devs respond, except they're totally flat out now at the absolute crunchiest time in development. Did you try twitter?
I would have hoped Swen would have been a bit more mindful of romance fans when responding to that question in the stream and so clarified his comment further, but I'm more than willing to cut him some slack considering all he has on his plate and what it must be like to answer a gazillion question during a livestream where he's trying to showcase the game and editor as well. The Larian team is probably pretty damn sleep deprived right now and can't be paying attention to everything.
