It wasn't the romance.

The romances in BG2 make an absolute embarrassment of this games romance options BTW.

A lot of people enjoy dnd because it let's you roleplay a character. Kinda sounds like you look down on these types of people.
Will you explain this a bit more? It seems that you are implying that someone who doesn't like romance is looking down on people. You can roleplay a character just fine without that stuff if that is what you want to do. With DnD it is quite possible the rest of the group will thank you for it since the hormonally maladjusted player tends to make others uncomfortable. With a single player video game, none of us who don't care about that stuff are saying you are wrong for liking it, we are just expressing our opinions that happen to be different to yours.

Even if game doesn't have romance functions, people are more likely to discuss about characters, express sympathy or hatred. Of course, I'm talking about more mass social networks, and not some forums. Nowadays, few people use forums to communicate and spread their word. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I saw the message "mechanics in this game were amazing!!"on Twitter. Yea.
I was amused not annoyed, hard to project tone in text. Just try to understand for people who are not interested in this sort of thing and who are playing a game that is not advertised as a dating sim, it gets depressing to hear a minor aspect of it mentioned as if it is the most important thing ever when there is so much more that needs to be done before release. Would be the same for anyone not interested in a specific part of the game no matter what it is. I avoid most sites that discuss games mostly because they turn into echo chambers. Prefer forums where discussions are actually possible, sometimes Reddit but not for this game for obvious reasons. :P
