Still, I see that romance feature is in high demand here as well, as it is sort of expected now from any western rpg, big thanks to BioWare rolleyes . So it would be a shame if this demand is not met in D:OS. No comments from devs is kinda baffling, though suspicion. This is not a crazy BioWare forum, devs, there won't be any angry screams about cancelling preorders or other such nonsense if you say there are no romances in the game. And to anyone who might do this I can only say this - not playing such a fun game like D:OS just because there are no romances is the silliest reason you could possibly name, get over yourself.


I wouldn't mind if there was no romance if they didn't very specifically promise there would be romance and didn't go miles out of their way to ensure the very title of the game and every piece of artwork related to the game didn't specifically and extremely strongly imply romance. After all that to release the game without any romance options in it would be a huge deal because it's no just another feature but something they managed to present as something of a central theme of the game. It's fine to say "there are no romances" but after promising it so many times and implying it at every chance they had it's not an option anymore to turn around and say "we're not doing it" without any explanation and it's not even something that could be excused anymore. Sure there shouldn't be any major drama or cancelled preorders or cries for refunds but it would sure put a very sour note over the entire game release and experience.
