[quote=Ivory Samoan]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.
I'm right there with you. I like to eventually min-max my playthroughs, but it would absolutely kill replayability for me if there was any sort of buffs or any garbage like that associated with romance. It's cringey enough as it is, don't force me to participate in it for power gains.
