Wait so because a romance doesn't include sex it's not considered a romance? Because it's optimistic, drama-free, disney-esque it's not considered a romance? Is it so immature to gently court a noble woman? Cause last I checked that's the way romance worked for quite some time. I am so sick of this mentality.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but this game's romances are just as diverse as they were in previous games and each romance has been different in one way or the other.
I do not live in an era of chivalrous white knighting Prince Charming nonsense. That died in the 1950s, has been dead for a while now and should stay. Men should no longer get involved in deadly duels that can kill them just to win a lady's hand and receive what, a few pecks and a hug in front of a fireplace ? I live in an era where if I was in a relationship and put something toward it, I expect something equal in return...
To me, romance, is a transaction, a business, a two way street, that works best if both parties are honest and give towards eah other in equal measure...Josephine does not give back in equal measure for all the hoops my Inquisitor has to jump through...
