Which video game has the best romance system?

Hello kitty Island adventures

Skyrim

No gay ass wooing and romantic dialogue that only faggots and women like. Just a woman going "You look like a good man to make babies with. I am looking for a good man to make babies with. Let's get married."

Only problem is you don't make babies and just adopt someone else's kids.

Actual maladjusted behaviour

All romance systems are shit. It's all about simping your target with right dialogue options and/or giving them gifts to increase favorability number. I just want a game where NPC's can hate you but still be sexually attracted to you

Is there a word or phrase for this "Sterile Romance" shit? I've heard "Safe Horny" get thrown around, and that doesn't exemplify the feeling, or I guess lackthereof, I get from shit like this. It's as though it's devoid of actual human passion. As though something as spontaneous and volatile as sex and attraction, as well as the development of these things into actual love, care, affection, and passion are just a box to check. A lifeless "thing" to do, just like any other. It doesn't spur a sense of wonder, excitement, or even humanity. It's as if it's written by people who have never experienced any legitimate human connection, or even worse, it's written FOR people that haven't done this as to not offend them by simulating desire.
This is worse than the blatant coomer shit which is at least simple. "Me like big boob and it make me want to stick penis inside" has more passion and imagination than the absolutely lifeless and sterile attempts at "romance" I've seen from some of these dogshit games.
>>
>>737673459
In Skyrim you never have sex with your wife unless you mod the game. You also cannot have biological children with her, only adopted. If you're just imagining these things happen because you're "roleplaying", then that's another matter.
>>
>>737675007
"Safe horny" was created to describe it, but it's been overused to the point of meaninglessness. I've compared it to Saints Row IV "romances" where you literally just walk up the character and say "wanna fuck?" and then you fuck. Despite being a parody, those have just as much actual romance put into them as all this new shit.

>You can ship your party members too, instead of just you with each of them
>If a character dies in combat their boyfriend/girlfriend gets especially distraught and sometimes gets a buff
>Game's endings are about pairing off the characters based on their relationship scores, and they either get a romantic or non-romantic ending

>but it's been overused to the point of meaninglessness.
Yeah it's been just co-opted to be a derivative of "woke" slop shit. I guess "sterile" is the only way I can describe it. It's safe, sterile, inoffensive, made for everyone slop-type romance. It's slop in the literal sense, a lifeless, formless blob of nothing that doesn't appeal or repel anyone in particular, because it's a product made for every single person to enjoy equally. Even if "enjoy equally" is "not enjoy at all" because of how fuck awful it is.
>>
>>737675007
Wolfenstein was the only game I ever saw that did a somewhat realistic depiction of "romance" in that she initially is just really hot for the guy because he's buff and kills nazis and has a huge cock and so she pretty much instantly just starts fucking him.

That being said, the idea their relationship becomes some super loving one when it's pretty much entirely based on lust is a little silly.
>>
>>737675667
It was truly ahead of its time. Does the remake still have this thing?
>>
The fag agenda needs to convince people that being a fag is normal, so now friends aren't allowed because being friendly means you want to ass fuck your bro. Similarly, gays don't romance, they are hypersexualized and just want endless one night stands. The result of this is that no game will have good romance or good friendship is a fag is involved anywhere in the writing

I think this type of writing is the result of literal narcissists who are unable to understand human connection. The closest thing they know is casual sex but they can't write that due to corporate meddling

>>737675007
they experience romance from TV series, video games and japanese cartoon porn. that was their childhood and adolescence, if they were lucky they had a volatile teenage relationship with hormonal, rabid sex and explosive breakups over nothing. then they got older but didn't grow up and got a job "writing" video game scripts.

narcissists dont have casual sex, they have power games and ego boosts that involve sex.

It seems like romance options in games today are either full on hentai smut meant to appeal to the gooniest of gooners or sjw cringe where any hint of romance, sexiness, and affection is removed from the relationship because the writers are terrified of anything that could be considered "exploitation."

>the lead writer got canned after this
I’m trying to imagine what it’d be like to be someone who actually identifies with this whole weird sex spectrum shit, to attempt to write a character that is intended to be the embodiment of my massive personal struggle, and then have the whole thing crash and burn so catastrophically that I end up getting laid off.

Surely he must see this as something eye-opening.

Have you ever had any conversation with someone that is mentally ill? Or like even a temporary delirium where they are hallucinating spiders somewhere. Their brain won't allow the mere notion of being wrong, it's completely shut down.

Unfortunately it may have made him even more adamant, though whether he becomes more or less vocal is up to whether he's an ideologue or just mentally ill. You see it with cults that fail to predict the apocalypse or whose initial leader dies, some leave and the rest are even more devout despite looking retarded.

NO SEX can be had with two men. You can use each other’s assholes to jerk off at best. That’s not fucking sexual intercourse.

Yeah, sounds about right. Identity is something that deeply insecure human beings seem to have a rather tenuous grasp of, and so they latch HARD onto the thing that they’ve put the most effort into building up as proof of who they are, no matter how insane it obviously is.

Pretty sad way to live. At least now he isn’t likely to be shitting up vidya anymore.

Their jobs are to not care. Companies want IPs to be the largest, all-encompassing products possible so they get writers who either don't know or dislike the source material. Fans are assumed to be on board regardless so they want to expand elsewhere.
