Even with Gale, or Wyll. Especially Gale, given the nature of that relationship... As was pointed out in another post above, most of these relationships actually require you to pick the right dialog options to get some sexy time. If you pick those, then you are initiating the encounter. It's not hard to accidentally get someone interested in you, I had a girl over for a dinner date, where I cooked, and the next day, I got 47 text messages before lunch, while I was trying to climb really tall ladders, and install siding on a new house. I guess I picked the wrong dialog option, or did something else right...

Well, I didn't feel for one moment I'd led anyone on except Lae'zel because her approval was the only one I was focusing on but I guess some of the dialogue options will be interpreted differently by players, which is fair enough. Or maybe I just got 'lucky' with my choices. I mean, I guess some people could interpret 'being nice' as meaning you're up for a relationship but in this case it's like the IRL situation you gave happening to you from several people you recently met on the same day.

Speaking of which, thanks for that example, it gave me a chuckle!

It's not hard, a smile at the right/wrong time, listening to what someone has to say, being polite. Hell, just being reliable can have them lining up, if you're in a position where you meet lots of random people at around the same time. We don't have any control over what someone else finds attractive. As I said previously, I'd prefer clearly defined preferences for the comps. I understand why a team may go this route though, having seen the backlash from both design choices. Someone will want to romance one of them, and find out that they're not set up for that particular character, and raise hell about it, throwing out all kinds of accusations. I've seen it.

Yeah, I was laughing while I typed it, because it's funny now. Then, however, I was like "gee, I hope she isn't going to go all Fatal Attraction on me...".
