I don't know.. maybe my bar is very low, romances are a little extra that I don't really expect much from, I headcannon and rolpelay for it to make sense. It's just that romance in an RPG is like car driving and shooting in GTA, Need for speed and Call of duty do it better, but it's not the whole point of GTA, there is a whole seperate video game genre dedicated to romance.
Fair enough. The thing is, if the quality of the romance(s) is low, I would very much rather see Larian spend their limited time & effort somewhere else, not on another cringy low quality fan service romance.
That being said, at least Shadowheart's romance seems to have a potential to be something better than that.
