Jon, to be fair, I thought you hated ME2 for the first several months the game was out because of how venomous your general talk about Bioware and their games are.

Elf girl companion: "Oh I realize now that my previous outlook was naive and stupid take me now o Hero of Kirkwall"

i can see how someone might interpret this as hate or at least severe dislike
Josefbugman:
Its true, you do pretty much have a very angry demeanour towards them.
That said, I loved Alpha Protocol in every way. Its just that it was let down by overhype and problems with release dates.

Honestly I can't see "rivalry romances" turning out any differently than that given that
--- Quote from: David Gaider ---It's not Paragon/Renegade as in two seperate meters with their own values but Friendship and Rivalry as opposite ends of the same spectrum.
Some of the best romances, in my opinion, spring from conflict.
The rivalry path is the only way you can alter their philosophy-- as the rivalry path is, at its core, based on the fact that your philosophy is different

--- Quote from: Mike Laidlaw ---in addition to being friends, its now an open choice for you to build up a consistent rivalry with someone and to tell them that no, it’s their moral compass that is not correct and that you can actually have a real interaction around that rather than just them getting angry and storming off. They will still do that, but it’s not like a lose condition like it was in Origins
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: David Gaider ---There is a point at the "end" of the Rivalry path which mimics the end of the Frienship path: the companion is loyal and whatever conflict lay between you has been resolved. That's how the path works.
--- End quote ---
That is the essential gist of the rivalry system as it applies to romances.
Plus I think pulling off a romantically involved couple who have fundamentally different outlooks is beyond the scope of most games and certainly beyond the abilities of David Gaider.

You guys realise that the romance's are optional, right?
