TIL: this forum has a lot of people who simply hate romance in their gaming.
I, for one, am glad for the excursion: looks to he done masterfully, that scene with the cavorting hands was hot even...hard to achieve in a game.
Wouldn't say I hate romance so much as I hate the culture surrounding it for games.
Also don't think having new mechanics added for the sake of love interests is a good idea, responding to an earlier sentiment. Something simpler like a +1 to WIS saves within 30 ft of your lover or something seems much less formative. If you make romance required for optimization, though, I may grow to hate this game.
