Samnang.1879 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 after 10(?) or so years of saving Tyria, i feel like my hero is lonely and deserves a love interest... i hope soon we are blessed with the ability to choose one of the companion... what are your thoughts? this would also go nicely with in game marriage.BONUS question: why are there no interracial couples in gw2?

Sylvari.2953 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 "No, my hero is asexual" - I'm actually asexual in real life, so this is the perfect answer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 None of the answers apply to me. Well, maybe the "asexual" one applies to a couple of my alts like my poor sylvari who had a very bad first experience with love and swore off it entirely.But I certainly don't need the game providing me with one ... unless it's Lord Faren ... ahemI have a lot of alts and some of them have happy love lives and some of them don't but it's all driven by stories told with friends. Want a love interest for my heroes? Got plenty already, thanks!(caveat for those who might assume the worst: fade to black is the rule for any of those happy love lives' more intimate moments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celsith.2753 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 No. It's bad enough having to sit through the drivel of npc's love interests with each other. And it might also mess with people's stories who roleplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm still struggling to figure out who the characters are. I mean, this isn't Mass Effect - if every character save Taimi dropped dead tomorrow, they likely wouldn't be missed. Do you really want to date someone like that?

Crossaber.8934 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I want a love interest for my characters, but i prefer a character created by myself instead of the poor character creation by the dev team.Sell a gemstore item that a character with it in bag can select an alt character to follow him/her around, fight together (like clone from mesmer, do 0 damage), can be interact with chat etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killermanjaro.5670 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Kinda need an option for neutral. I wouldn't mind if they added some sort of choice system in, perhaps with new characters though. But at the same time I don't feel like the game/story needs one, or that I'm missing out by the game not having one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palador.2170 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 This is something where it's best left up to the players to decide, and maybe RP out with other players. A romantic interest is something they'll never be able to get right for everybody, even if they offer a choice of companions.However, I would find it amusing if the Commander had someone crushing on them.

TexZero.7910 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 If they could manage it appropriately sure...I just don't think that in an MMO having a love interest has ever been handled well....Also they just die anyway. It's kinda the problem with every hero. Either you start your journey alone because your parents/family are dead or they soon will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astraea.6075 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I almost selected the asexual option, as I haven't thought about my character's personal relationships as part of my head canon for their personality, but went for the too busy saving the world option as I don't really think this could be handled well within the main story arcs without feeling forced.

Tsakhi.8124 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 To be honest, a love interest would be nice, but I also see how it can be a huge developmental problem as well, with some people, a very emotionally charged thing. Bear in my mind, people are getting married to A.I.; personally I have nothing against it and believe if that's what pleases them, more power to them, but when they try to force ideas down other people's throat, it become a problem. (as an aside, I would marry Laranthir. what? what?! WHAT?! XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Well I certainly wouldn't want to romance that idiot Charr who let Balthazar out of the Mists. Well, unless by "romance" you mean "stick Caladbolg Orchida through his heart". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Most of my characters wouldn't want a relationship now, they've got too much going on and most of it involves travelling all over the world at short notice. Sure they might find some people attractive and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them find ways to entertain themselves with other Pact soldiers during the down-time between missions (not that they tell me, but I know them, I can guess), but that's as far as it goes.But also my main character is one I play in a lot of different RPGs (with slight variations) and she has frankly terrible taste in men. It always seems to cause more trouble than it's worth. (Seriously, if your only shared personality trait is 'chaotic' don't bother.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicName.4523 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 No, this is not a soap opera. For me, video games are an opportunity to do things I never could irl. Imho, the desire to have "love interests" in games which are not story driven (like Mass Effect) means that those who want such content are a bit too lonely irl...wink wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an apple tree, mind you, just an apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joneirikb.7506 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Can't see any way this would turn out well. Romance in cRPG's tend to be very poorly executed, can't remember a single one I've liked so far. This is something better left to player imagination and roleplaying.
