Right!
Is it just me, or did BioWare forget how to write romance some time in the 90s?
My friend (Jayman, the Barbarian) is playing Mass Effect and, for shits n' giggles, is playing the romantic route with the Assari biotic, Linwhatever her name is.
Not only is the chemistry between the characters completely unbelievable, but the lines are LAUGHABLY bad, the voice acting is stilted and...it makes no sense!
The *characters* even say the sudden romance is baseless and makes no sense!
My mind instantly contrasts this with the knock-your-socks-off awesome romance from my all time favorite game ever ever ever: Planescape Torment.
Not only did that build up nicely, but the character interaction sizzled, the lines were endearing, funny, cute and romantic, and it actually made sense after a fashion.
Where did Bioware go wrong?
Where did video games go wrong?
Why is it so goddamn hard for these people to write romance?!
