That they did, cause they were actual romances; you had to be patient, converse with the love interests, hit the right spots and spend lots of significant moments with them, for the relationship to properly consolidate... i feel most recent games don't have the same charm. Rare exceptions in Wrath of the Righteous with Daeran and Arueshelae(Also Wenduag for chaotic evil characters. Arue is an attempt to recapture Fall-From-Grace, but even tho the romance is more fleshed out, i still find Grace's to land better and that last dialogue always sends shivers down my spine), cause their relationships are actually modeled similarly to the good ones of the old days and they also have failed/romance/true romance variations.
In my opinion, this is a sign of our times. "Relationships" are seldom more than superficial and are so very easy to get.
I didn't get too far into WotR since I wanted to wait until all the DLC was out, but it's good to know that there is at least one studio still making games like this.
