The Seven Voyages Of SteveSounds like Starfield is going to have romancing options. I hope they're easy to avoid, I really hate it when RPGs try to make my character get into a relationship with the NPCs, it's just too creepy and weird. Besides often being an inappropriate workplace incident. Game devs, please stop making NPCs throw themselves at my character for literally any reason. I want to be friendly to NPCs without the worry of accidentally triggering a jiggly cutscene please
On the other hand, please definitely give me options to set up NPCs with others. One of my favourite bits of Outer Worlds was helping Pavarti get together with Junlei. I liked her character from the start, and was so relieved when I realised she was absolutely not going to be romantically interested in my character. I put way more effort into getting her & Junlei set up (a long term quest which felt quite natural) than most side quests. Far more rewarding than the Mass Effect stuff
Tess Snider@sinbad Dragon Age 2 has a bit of this, interspersed with everything else.
