Some people think no; some people think yes. The tweet said something like, "At least one that I know of", so that has led some to think that the dev was talking about flings and not romances. I'm not so sure, though. I tend to think that s/he's going to be one of the 8. All of the talk today was about romances, not flings, so the context doesn't support it. I see why other people think otherwise though.
I'm really torn about it. On one hand, I'd prefer than not all the lady companions are LI's. On the other hand, Vivienne. On the other hand, Dagna, or Celene. On the other hand, does the word budget support that? On the other hand, where am I getting all these hands?
Ah-hem.
Here, let me post the quote again:
The
"at least 1 that I know of" has me thrown, though. Do they just not want to announce how many non-advisor/companion LI's there are, aside from there being one? They were pretty candid about everything else, though, which makes me wonder if we're just misinterpreting this.
It's fun to consider these things, at least.
