I don't mind getting "invites" from Gale or Wyll as a male PC, but I think they should still work a little more on the system as a whole.
When having slightly high reputation with companions let them have some lines with a [Flirt]-Tag. So I can decide who I am interested in. Maybe I want to romance Gale, but just be best buddies with Wyll. This should not be decided by which of them I take my first chance to sleep with. There should be some build up to it and my best buddy should not try to squeeze benefits out of me.
on that, I agree. But I think the whole approval for romance is just for now so players can test it on EA and give feedback, etc. I remember in not only one interview they said that they want the romance not to work only in approvals, but what you say and how you act towards them. I hope they can do it, a basic approval then you're good to romance is not something I'm eager to have again.
