Regarding TW3 romances, and I'm not sure if this has been posted here, a dev had this to say.
"Building relationships in TW3 is way more complex than in TW2. When it comes to romancing, we put a lot of effort to make it non-linear, and we require some effort from the player.
You may build friendship, you may build romantic relationship, you'll be used and you can use the girls if you want to. Choices have consequences.
You may have meaningless sex, but love is not easy. Want her to love you? Try to understand her needs first, don't hurt her feelings, take care of her. It's a long process. And we have "let's talk about us" chats, but they are always part of the story."
Sounds neat.
Also confirmed that you can disable executions in the options menu as well as adjust the hud size, and disable some/all options.
