I also didn't want romance removed, just the cutscenes and pick the option path to romance. I just feel that most individuals want to watch a cut scene more then role playing the situation. Cutscenes are not the only reward.
How about you let people play the game the way they want and stop telling people how to play a game just because you don't like something. Their are people who enjoy romance in games even if its awkward or good, just like their are people who don't like romance in games. Yet those who don't like romance in games don't try to tell others what they can and cannot do in their own game. I for one enjoy games with romance in it and I do tend to look for games with romance in it and if it does even better along with the story and combat imo.
Also a cutscene in a romantic conversation is a "reward" for the player and nothing wrong with sex scenes in a video game and off the top of my head right now I can name 2 video game series with sex scenes Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
You do know that their are and can be sex scenes in Pen and Paper games, I have seen a few during the years of playing Pen and Paper and my characters have been involved in a few.
