Well, if were only counting AAA devs, then sure, I can't think of any. Buuut, there is Owlcat, who doesn't really follow that formula.

What do you mean?

Owlcat still follows the same formula. Linear arc. Just their "Getting laid" part only sometimes happens.

Heck, sometimes "Arc" is an overstatement. Their newest title, Rogue Trader, it's literally just a simple dialogue option that puts you into a relationship and for several characters this results in most of your dialogue options being how horny you are for each other (Especially Jae who has tons of flirting even if you're not in a relationship with her).

There's very little in the way of nuanced relationships (Be it platonic or otherwise). Just like with every other game out there.
