Summary
- Avowed’s game director Carrie Patel explained to Eurogamer why there is a lack of romance in the game.
- She said that the more games introduce romance as a mechanic, the more it becomes a system rather than a relationship.
- While Avowed does have romance, it is not served as something that players should go after like in other games, but occurs more naturally.
- Players will come across potential romances if they decide to get to know a certain character and develop an interest in them.
- David Gaider, a former writer of Dragon Age, which is known for its romances, commented on the challenge of writing romanceable companions.
- His thoughts were shared in an interview alongside discussing his cancelled Planescape sequel project.
