"Check out last week’s update for the stats on that. Somewhat contradicturally, [Gale]’s the most “romanced” of the party. He’s been “romanced” by 33% of players. Shadowheart came second, falling in love with 31% of players, and in return 31% of players fell in love with Shadowheart.
1.37% of players chose to sleep alone. Which is cool too! We have the other stats, but thought it might be fun if you gave it a shot and guessed them. One thing we’re seeing is the stan memes aren’t correlating with the actual “romance data”. For sure, there’s enough tinder in the campfire to ignite some flames."
A third of people who participate in romances are romancing Shadowheart. This is Larian's own data. So again, please do not assume the loudest voices in the room is equivalent to the majority.
I agree it's very important not to mistake the loudest as the most representative. However, right now they know what people are deciding, but not why they decide it.
For example, I have been playing charcters and making choices I wouldn't normally make, both to experiment and to leave my final experience with the game as somewhat new. I feel like asking people what they think directly would be more accurate than making assumptions about their decision-making based on in-game choices. At least with regard to some game elements.
A survey linked through the launcher so everyone has access to it would be a good way to do that. Then it doesn't require people to go to a certain board/site to have access to it, and it would be limited to people participating in early access.
