It's simple, but poetic. A good representation of platonic love in science fiction and modern society where virtual reality is around the corner.

Neither Annah nor FFG are in-your-face kind of romances and while you personally may not think much about either of them, that doesn't make them any less valid as a choice for favorite romance for someone.

In all honesty, it's hard to choose. Most videogame romances suck terribly- tired of romance options being talking to someone a few times, sidequest and then insta love. Id' like to see a romance take almost the entire game to get going, as both sides learn to trust each other.

I like how the goat sisters chapter makes it clear that the reason Meg has such a reputation for her cruel games is due to her frustration over Diana.

If Meg got the love she craved, I doubt she would be drawing down bullying and torture methods so much.

It kinda blindsides the player and requests them to feel sorry for a kid who likes torturing other kids for pleasure.

Meg is just a classic insecure bully.

Runner up for worst romance: that bitch in FE6 or FE5 (I forget) who gets mind controlled and NTRs you after she breaks free or something. It's hilarious and totally unexpected.
Worst romance: Jacob (ME2), I don't even know why I tried. I was expecting something interesting. It wasn't even offensive like the gay m/m ME3 romances.

I really like KOTOR2, BG2 romances for whatever reason. Sunrider series is kinda cute for romance, though nothing sticks out for me. I love Heather from VTMB, wish there was more to your relationship with her. Same with the Japanese hunter chick. P4 Chie and P3 Yukari are boring as fuck but still kinda cute.

I tend to like relationship building mechanics in games, romance or not. Wish there were more games like FE and Persona that did this (it's wyh what they did to the Persona/FE xover is so egregiously offensive).

It was kind of that way for all of the Red Crayon Aristocrats. For as terrible as they were to Jennifer, we suddenly get a glimpse of how terrible Diana, Meg, and Eleanor were to each other as well.

Rule of Rose did a good job of showing how their bullying actions were genuinely harmful from a tormented child's perspective, while also showing how everything they did was just an attempt to fuel the sense of escapism away from their own tragic situation.

Who hasn't felt insecure over their body?

Who hasn't acted reclusive due to bullying?

By the end of the game, we are left feeling sorry for the kids, which is a neat enough way of subverting the "creepy children" cliche.

Because he's boring. Like people who romance him are vanilla fags or just in the bbc. He's a good guy with some family issues. Like that's it. There is little to no depth in his character beyond that. It makes him the John Everyman. You're not going to be offended by him, but the best characters in ME are impactful and not willing to be dull, sensible people.

Garrus went from a by the book cop, to a disillusioned lawman, to Dirty Harry, and then he gets all his bros killed and loses his worst edge in 3. He has a character arc where he makes dumb decisions, challenges the player, and shows growth.

Jacob just remains the cool dude who is likeable and sensible. He's not stupidly prideful like Miranda or Zaeed. He's not quirky like Mordin or Joker. He's just a good dude. And that is just so fucking boring that it draws hate.

Also his romance ending in 3 kinda spits in the eye of anyone that liked his character to begin with.

>>
>>345346696
Extremely different - Grandia 1 and 2 have a similar charm in the music and writing, though the stories are completely different. Grandia 1 is about a boy who wants to go on an adventure and it really captures that emotion and spirit and in my opinion, creates the most likeable cast out of almost any video game. The first disc focuses on the characters and explores them and the romance that blossoms between the protagonist and his love interest while the second disc is where the actual story they get embroiled in really picks up. In a way the story is one of the less interesting things about the game, but the characters' journey through it made it an impossible game for me to put down.

Basic gist of the good end is that they lived together pleasantly, raised a child, before adventure off on Warden business.

Also if you ask her to send a letter to the Warden, she replies

The letter she gets back is also said to be incredibly dirty.

I don't know about that. Leliana has some self-introspective discussion on her morality.
