I like emotional depth and finding more out about a character in their romance path. Adds replayability too and something extra to the protagonist's story.

The actual sex I couldn't care less about.

This. I have yet to see a sex scene in a video game that didn't look awkward and fake. The closest I got to seeing that working was in the long forgotten FMV "Tender Loving Care". 

Even the much lauded ME1 scene falls into the "Meh" category.

I'd like to see more intensive romance scenes.

The Witcher 2, dear

Why do people keep recommending games that aren't even released yet? (TW2, Skyrim...) 

Perse, someone asks for mature, real sex scenes, of course i'm going to recommend them TW2. Have you seen the pics of "that" in TW2?

More intense romance scenes, the wording was. I've seen the pics. I'll withhold judgment until I see the full scenes. I will cry over what CDPR did to Geralt however, that new design is an abo----er...awful.

Lolwut? He still has the same voice actor, according to some coverage I read. And those scars! *swoons*

Haven't heard a single word from the guy yet and until I do.... And I still prefer the original design. By a mile.

It's discouraging that you treat an important aspect of a RPG this way OP. It has always been an important part of the story to me. I want my PC to be human, and that includes intimacy.

Unfortunately, you have succeeded in pushing a very important aspect in a RPG ( to me, personally) into the "psyc out" area. Congrats. I hope you're happy. Should another serious thread about romances pop up, I'll be sure to give it the attention it deserves. Meanwhile, like I said, congrats. Immaturity ftw.

*PSYCH*!!!

Kidding. I'm sorry you feel that way. I just like to raise serious points and initiate discussion in a lighthearted manner. I hope you find a thread that gives it the gravitas you need.

If it could be well done, and of course optional, sure, more sex in the games... as it is, the mass effect 2/ dragon age 2 approach works for me.

I do agree with other posters, that it would be better if romances were a more significant element of gameplay.  I don't know how many played the first Prince of Persia released on the current generation of consoles, (the one with the cel shading) but I thought the development of the relationship between the two was very charming. Basically, as time passed in the game, talking with the companion slowly changed/progressed. Each step along the way was maybe five new exchanges between the Prince and Elika, but it was about every half hour of gameplay or so that there were new exchanges available. By the end of the game, you really feel like you've witnessed the full development of a friendship. It seems the same could be done with romances, although it would be a little bit of a time sink to write that many lines of dialogue... it could be done.

He spoke briefly in one of the gameplay trailers.  Still looks about the same except for the new hair-do.

I don't want more sex. If I want porn, I go get it.

I want more interaction with the LI. 3 years have passed, and she still hankers after him? No way. Sorry, but girl don't play that. There is no development. Not even the slightest hint that the relationship is still going on in some way. He stays with her, but she won't corner him and ask for explanations? She seems to have spent the time in a stasis pod. She sees nothing, hears nothing, feels nothing.

Heck no. That's so unbelievable it's almost comical in nature. It ruins an otherwise great story-line. Bioware is one of the few who can pull off romances - well, they did in the past. No healthy woman in the prime of her life would act that way. Not hardly, imo.

Before anyone screams that romance isn't an integral part of a RPG, I beg to differ. It certainly is, imo. An overwhelming score of movies and books have romance in it somewhere. And surprisingly, it only seems to add to the story - somehow.

This^ I make love to Fenris and he says he can't handle it. So my Hawke just lets that go, does nothing for 3 years to talk to him about it? I could go sleep with somone else..but then you never get to get back with him? Which is silly because that has happened with friends in real life...they loved, parted, and years later got back together and even married. 

Or if you do bed them, you never get to kiss them, or have more time with them? More interaction than the stupid quest flag at the beginning of each act, really? 

There was so much about these characters that would have made them as good, maybe even better, than the companions in DAO except we never got to really know them. I reall, really despise the feeling my Hawke went into a coma every three years.

Okay new rule...NO FLUIDS when reading your posts! Seriously! You are going to kill me one day, or kill my computer equipment.=]

If there is to be sex I'd like it to be handled in a mature and tasteful manner. Look at The Witcher 2 for cues on how to accomplish that. No more awkward puppetry humping, please.

You make it so, what with your swashbuckling, and your pervertedness. You have brought sin to heaven, and doom upon the world!

And my mother said I'd never amount to anything!

[MyKingdomCold]

in DA2 or other games? no

the more "action" and more naked bodies in bed makes the game less mature in my opinion

[Dante Angelo]

I think we need less sex & more awkward cuddling

[Reinveil]

No, I find the sex scenes juvenile in the extreme, and the romance subplots are unnecessary. Just my opinion, of course.

I won't ever get TW1 or TW2. It is not appealing because there is no gender choice. That is the one and only pre-requisite for me. I can't play a male. No, I'm not a mishanrdi-ist. I love men. But I can't play one. I tried, but it doesn't work for me, personally.

Same. Can't relate to a male protaganist, which ruins immersion for me and thus I get bored. I'm sure there are other developers out there still providing gender choice (Bethesda must be, though their flavour of RPGs isn't my thing), but wanting the option to play as a female character does seem to limit your options a lot. A real shame.

Back on topic, what I want is more romance cutscene and dialog in general. I'd even go so far as to sacrifice the quantity of LI choices if it meant more resources available for fleshing out romance subplots. Two reasonably complex LIs (one male LI and one female LI, both bi if need be - I'm fine with that approach) as opposed to four or more LIs whose romance plots feel a little stretched.

And as much as I liked the concept of rivalry/friendship in DA2, I'd do away with it if one of its consequences was fewer cutscenes per romance playthrough. I prefer to have MORE in a single romance session (har de har), than the option to do it again but with different pillow talk (ho ho).

As for the heart symbols, well, what ishmaeltheforsaken said previously. I don't care if the symbols stay or go myself. So long as it is fairly obvious that a particular dialog choice or action has broken off a romance. It can get a bit annoying when you only learn several hours of gameplay later that your LI has dumped you.

[macrocarl]

More romance and more sex please! I thought the way it was handled in DA2 was pretty great, but a wee more would next go around might be good.

[King Killoth]

I felt the romance in DA2 was cut short. after the years of flirting and building a romance with whoe ver. the actual romance scene was underwhelming. it was a kiss than fade to black. I dont want porn but something along the lines of what DAO had a nice romantic scene with music and the two lvoers in embrace. or we could ME1 and have naked women slithering aroud the pc with heartbeating music. nudeity is not nessasary but sencuality is key to any romance scene. also a good follow p would be nice. some banter with your LI wail walkign threw the city would be nice.
