[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8465342, member: 18"] DA2 is an odd example because it has some of the less-gamified relationships, in that you don't have to "score points" to get the relationships. In fact you can have relationships with people who dislike you, if it makes sense for the personalities involved - DA2 is unusual in that making people hate you changes your relationship with them rather than leaving the party. As for your example, you either misremembered or are misrepresenting for the sake of amusement. Anders is poorly-written so does seem to come on to you a bit easily (which lead to a whole bunch of sad homophobia at the time), but he absolutely doesn't take his actions because of you. In fact it's the precise opposite. No matter how kind you are to him, no matter how much you help, he lies to you and "does a terrorism". Also far from fighting people off, people endlessly complained about how hard it was to romance Fenris and that it was literally impossible to romance Aveline. Source: I've probably played DA2 too many times lol. DA:O is the worst for this as you do literally have to score points with decisions (often unrelated to the character) and gifts, rather than romance, and can romance people whilst being very unsuitable for them with enough gifts. Not a great message. [/QUOTE]
