Personally, I could care less if there is romance. There are so many things this game provides that was non-existent in the market for 10+ years that getting upset over romances is a bit childish. If it is such a problem for some of you, then ask for a refund (or don't buy it). If not, then shut up and move along. This incessant whining and feigned wrong doing accusations are ridiculous. Piss or get off the pot people... ie shut up or move along.
your mother must be really happy with how polite you are...
also things are not so simple as you wish them to be.
Your father must be ashamed of how naive and thin skinned you are...
What is complex about it?
From what I have read, they planned on having a bit more depth, but then they pulled back a bit for various reasons. Romance exists, but in a "Non-Bioware" fashion. This means chances are the romance will be slight and not focused on to any extent (cut scenes and major interaction focuses).
So, you either accept such... or you do not, but coming here and throwing tantrums and accusing Larian of betraying people?
