1. to choose a dialogue option to watch a cutscene
2. feel an accomplishment for watching a cutscene
3. to play this game
I would recommend removing the romance scenes, and anything past a campfire discussion or glass of wine.
There is no need for it in this game, and it only causes individuals to not role play a character in order to watch a cut scene.
I would recommend putting more resources on the Dialogue options for the player character, and overall party companionship options.
This is a D&D game right, so the focus would be better put elsewhere.
my 2cents.
The romance and a lot of stuff seems rushed, game needs adjust for pacing. Act one as a whole just seems mashed together an thrown out the door for EA testing. So for example romance would be get to know/cup of wine, second act first base/ third chapter would be your romance ending.
You can really feel the emptiness of the game by just going to the first vendor and turning the music off. There isnt any noise, background sounds are bare, animations are still buggy (if you watch the characters/npcs there jaw snaps to the right/left). More than likely the game will be pushed out then retuned for Enhanced Edition.
BTW I just finally got to the romance scene and put the game down, swapping to BG1, the game is EXTREMELY EA. Telling people/whoever on the forums to remove a chunk of content isn't going to help anyone, try sending in bug reports.
