As for the dream person part of character creation? It's not directly related to romance (there may be a romance side to it later down the line but I've seen how that part pays off and it's interesting, at least to me), so don't rush to judgement on that aspect.
I will take this into consideration, thank you for telling me. (I haven't actually played EA - I know, I know - but what I've seen in video reviews seemed quite off-putting.) Still, I'm not a fan of it being mandatory to make an ideal love interest for your character. Someone suggested having the option for it to be a friend of a family member, which would be cool (if it makes sense in the game).
