While having the option to romance your companions is a fine thing, I have to ask if anyone else thinks that there may be too much focus on a specific part of the game.

Would someone who doesn't want to romance for a play through suffer for not doing so? Do people see the combat and adventure..the main focus of the game to begin simply see it as annoying filler between your romance scenes?

So to reiterated. Is romance a little too focused on as appose to the larger picture of the game the adventuring the combat and such?

It's something that is specific to BioWare games (at least in the way that we do romance). Many other games have adventuring and combat. So it's hardly surprising that, of people who are keenly interested in BioWare games, the number who are keenly interested in the romances specifically is also quite high.

 

It's also unsurprising that there would be a great deal of talk on our forums. Where you find the keenest of keeners.

 

Does it get a little aggravating? Sure, from time to time. It really depends on how much of the talk you zero your attention onto--read too much of it, and you'd quickly get the impression that's all anyone cares about. That's the sort of confirmation bias which would lead one to quickly forget that a minority of our fans overall actually play any romances, and that the amount of content in the game geared solely to romances is not that high (there's far more work on every companion dedicated to their overall content, accessible by everyone who doesn't romance them).

 

Romances make for fun speculation, I imagine, at least until the game comes out. Then the speculation will switch to complaining--and there will be way more to complain about than just the romances.

Romances come up because I think a big strength of our games has been our characters. Romance is just one part of that.

It is also content that is relatively easy to talk about with limited information on the game.


I think most "focus" comes from the fan base. If you see me spending a lot of time in there it is because those topics often attract unwanted attention and posts from some people.
