Tali is forever the gold standard of vidya romances. I have always wanted to play DA for Morrigan but I just hate that game it's not for me.

>Mass Effect romances

I like the characters but the romances are literally just pressing the paragon option twice or thrice and then having sex right before the final dungeon. ME is the reason why so many people dismiss romances as
>click correct dialogue option
>unlock sex scene

RPG romances should prioritize branching romance stories instead of just making it a game of picking the right dialogue choices. Your actions should effect what type of person your romantic interest becomes and what type of relationship your character has with them.

I love Tali but that other guy is right. Nothing in Mass Effect should be considered a gold standard for anything.

I don't particularly like them. Accessibility for blank slate player characters turns most of them into "click to be wanted" sims instead of anything with a romantic vibe. It's probably an issue with player choice.
I beat BG3 recently and I thought the drow romance turned out well. I didn't particularly like her but the evil ending created an unintended character arc that I thought worked well.

I post this in every thread that brings the subject up but no one can explain it. I don't understand who romance in western games is supposed to appeal to. the heroines are ugly and unappealing. the "romance" is basically them acting like cunts at all times, talking about their exes, and then asking you to do shit for them before they finally have sex with you. I completely understand why it's like this, but who the fuck is actually enjoying it? I can't believe that it's the same people that play fatlus games and jack off to xenoblade porn. is this one of those normie things where people pretend to be into something ironically? or is it people who don't realize how shit it is because they hate anime and refuse to play games with better romance? do people like that still exist?

>>720779803
>the "romance" is basically them acting like cunts at all times, talking about their exes
It's probably because this barely happens, or when it does happen (like Morrigan in the OP, who is indeed a cunt) the appeal is fixing them with your dick

how would you improve romance systems?
dialogue choices and gifts making a meter go up always felt like an awful compromise since you still need lots of different dialogue for different affection levels, but are still stuck with a pretty linear romance
>>
>>720781404
Nigga, think through this logically.
If you never had sex NO WOMAN knows what your peanus looks like, how is your lack of foreskin to blame if IT HAS NEVER BEEN A DECIDING FACTOR IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Unless you actually got to that point and the girl rejected you entirely on the basis of your dick skin, I guess, and that is indeed pretty rough. Regardless, my condolences.

She talks about, "laying with men" during the romance too, though it's in the context of, "but you're different because I feel these lovey-dovey feelings." I hate to sound like a white knight but the character's virginity should not matter if they're written well. Morrigan was a rancid slut before meeting (you) but her romance is still a gold standard due to how much she falls for you.
>>
>>720781780
I believe Tokimeki Memorial had a part in that, but it's not a game that takes romance seriously and you can kind of consider it more of a game of managing time, and sadly the games that were inspired by it just copied it and tried to make it serious
Good romance has to be part of the story, via a route or something, but "choose your waifu" will never work, too much to juggle, there has to be a focus
The game can have different routes, but not for different girls, but for the actual story, for example, route A, B and C but only in route B there's romance and you can't choose the girl, or don't do routes at all and just make a game with romance baked in where you can't choose the girl or maybe choose between two, what I'm trying to say is that it needs to be focused and not choose between 10 different girls

A lot of them are terrible unless the game forces a choice onto you and the MC isn't a blank slate self insert. Otherwise it's this:
>pick one character
>pick the correct option that gives you good boy points with said character
>do one quest, it leads to a confession scene into a sex scene/kiss scene
>now you can spend the rest of the game with your romanced companion, with zero difference in any dialogue, zero influence on anything in the game, and the companion acts the exact same in every cutscene and interaction you have with them as if you've never romanced them
>get one pity mention of the romance during the ending if at all
I'm still waiting to see if any game can do an actual proper romance system
>>
>>720784715
yeah it sucks, but i'm not sure how you could improve things without creating a massive amount of work
romance/affinity as a game component is honestly pretty weird, in that it's usually expected to be a meter that just goes up
there's no real tension, risk/reward tradeoff, and often no failure state
it's basically just a glorified system to unlock optional cutscenes, dialogues, or an epilogue

Don't feel bad. Someone had to be the pig infested with maggots. It's just blind luck and you happened to be the guy who got the bad straw. When you stop feeling sorry for yourself it doesn't hurt so much, like you've empathy directed inward that can be turned off.

I don't know how can you find someone like Morrigan attractive, knowing the fact that she took countless dicks before you. She most likely doesn't feel anything for you and would sell herself even behind your back.
When I played DAO I remember falling for goth mommy meme and wanted to do romance path, until I learning that bitch along her whore mother would gladly take one between their legs for money and loved dragging men into their house. Then I kicked out her out of party asap and never looked back.

I get where you're coming from, but it's not really about "winning" at romance irl. Vidya romances can be cathartic or just fun worldbuilding. They're not always meant to reflect real life, just add flavor to the story. If it ain't your thing, fair enough, but some of us like a little emotional investment between the sidequests and monster grinding.

Not that often but when I find the one I like, it hits me like an ocean.
