Bioware's New Game: It's Mass Effect 3.
satsugaikaze:
Well, I noted Kelly's 'romance' option as the direction to go in, but obviously some people will look at it and go "sexist" and others will see "oh it's just them having a casual relationship and who knows maybe she just likes stripper outfits"
KvP:
The Kelly thing really isn't much of a relationship.
Naturally the Bioware boards were furious.

People usually bring up Ico whenever this question comes up. I haven't tried it, so I wouldn't know.

Torment did it quite well, except that she had a tail. Also, no sex, just talking.

You could sort of romance a lady with wings, too. But hers didn't culminate in a kiss, whereas the tail lady did.
Even without the hanky panky I feel that the relationships in Planescape: Torment felt more natural than the ones in BioWare's more recent games. Not only that, they were just more entertaining. Fall-From-Grace and Annah are just simply more interesting characters than, say, Ashley or Kaiden. Sure, we don't get to see a cutscene of hot cgi blue alien butt, just a text description of a kiss with Annah, but the kiss with Annah was way more striking than the hot cgi blue alien butt.
As well, Dragon Age: Origins' romances felt more like a mini game of managing approval points than actual dialogue and character interaction.
KvP:
They kind of shot themselves in the foot with the gift system. But it was totally necessary for Morrigan, who apparently was impossible to please in some sections of the game via dialog alone.
