So, I only recently started my first run through. Didn’t give a flying fig about the romance stuff, it was just something to click through to get back to story and combat.
Annnnd then act 3 hits, and Lae’zel wants to talk one morning and gives a dialogue that actually brought a tear to my eye. Ffs, she’s one of the least likable characters at the beginning of the game. More an annoyance than anything else, story wise.
And then she rejects her queen, finds love and there’s this beautiful moment. Definitely not the writing I expected for her, but damned if it didn’t work.
Makes me want to actually pay attention to the romance arcs now, see what the rest are like.
I like to play each run trying to romance a different character just to see all the different story arcs. There is actually an achievement for romancing Karlach (working on this one in my current game). There are a few unexpected ones as well… Enjoy!
I unexpectedly got minthara started by random clicking after a the raid playing the durge origin as a side thing when I need a break from act 3’s tangled web of arcs. It was… less romance than soft core porn, but if there’s good development in act 2/3 it could be really interesting.
Romancing Shart, then Minty is where I realized I have a predilection for unavailable, aloof, and aggressive women who treat me poorly. Explains some things.
I can imagine lol.
