Dear Larian,


thank you for your hard work and willingness to listen to fan feedback. Few developers are in touch with their communities, and we are very grateful for these efforts.


Integrating Haarlep showed that you considered feedback received in Early Access requesting additional Raphael content, and while Haarlep is dear to the community and much appreciated, he is not the devil we know.


We adore and love Raphael and he has a very active, enthusiastic fandom and it is him we urgently want to romance.

Therefore, we are writing to you in the hope that you will give us a Raphael romance and some additional content, either implemented in the game or as a DLC. Most of us are willing to pay the full game price again to see this romance happen.


The core of the Raphael fandom even signed a petition for you to see that it's a wish of many. (We are at 420 signatures at the time I'm sending this.)
You can find it here: Our Petition


What we are hoping for in detail:


Added content in general:
- the option to spare him after the battle (no matter if romanced or not)
- the option to have him as a permanent member of the group like Halsin if we work with him
- his assistance in the final fight if we don’t betray him
- the option to visit the House of Hope without sneaking in if we sign the deal
- the dinner he promised us
- his appearance during the epilogue party

Romance specific:
- options to flirt with Raphael
- one or two camp scene(s) with him
- at least one romance scene with him (not Haarlep)
- the option to kiss him like the other companions once he’s romanced


Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our ideas.


Yours sincerely,

Sphinx (dmagedgoods on tumblr and twitter)
in the name of
a big group of Raphael-enjoyers
