I was trying to romance Lae’zel and was a bit taken aback at how blatant and easy it was. It didn’t seem particularly realistic or well done to me. We were basically just traveling companions and then a single dialogue option was enough to initiate romance. I’ve basically never talked to her before so this seemed rather sudden. Perhaps the games assumes a lot of hidden dialogue that travelers would engage in, but when the rest of the game feels realistic it seems out of place. Maybe she is just the type of person that is really open romantically, but considering others have felt the same way about many of the other characters I suspect this is not the writers intention. Then after having intimate relations it seemed to have no relevance to the story and the character didn’t even care that it happened. The intimate scenes themselves were also rather lackluster and didn’t show anything explicit. I’m not sure why the character creation had you so vividly pick what type of genitals you wanted if it was irrelevant to the intimacy scenes.
We have re-invented trains for the 500th time. Good job world.
