It seems like they were thinking it wasn’t as important to deliver well-crafted romances with men, so they made sure they got the “important” work done first.
I wish they’d say something about the disappointment people are obviously experiencing, rather than just making it more clear with a pop-up in a patch. I haven’t felt this disrespected as a fan of a game since Cyberpunk, when River released broken and with the worst endings in the game compared to the two lady romances. Weird how this always happens with the male companions, always.
On top of how bad the lockout decision is, the whole Neve thing just has me heated. This is not the way to do companion romances. It’s in the freaking story missions! It’s there before you can lock either one of them in! I can’t even make a new playthrough without getting reminded that they have more chemistry together than my Rook was able to have. It’s infuriating and it’s miserable. I went from liking Neve to not using her at all. I avoid her banter in the Lighthouse. She will not have her Hero status as I go into the end game because she is so blatantly being favored that I resent her for existing at all lmao
It’s so bad. It’s laughably bad. Let me turn off the background romances. Please?
I find myself resenting her more and more. I wanted to love this game. I wanted this to be bigger and better than Boldurs Gate. I wanted epic romancing that reminded me of my time with Cullen, Feneris, Alister and Zev.
This play through I decided to romance Davrin and I'm killing Lucanis if I can because I don't want him with her. The shopping list pissed me off most - coffee beans for Neve when she comes back, like wtf where's mention of anything for me because you noticed I like coffee.
I can't understand why they shot themselves in the foot with this game. Why would you make a game your fans have been begging for only to ruin it and make no money over it. If they had cared, done it right and stuck with previous games carrying over - the keep- we would have spent even more money for DLC's.
