Games with Romance

[tigersty1e]

I'm in the middle of Mass Effect and I like how the romance is turning out (please don't give away spoilers or talk about this romance).

It's a nice change from the CS, BF2, run-and-gun I'm used to.

What other games out there have a nice romance?

(note: I don't mean sex)

Tribes Vengeance campaign is practically a soap opera lol.

Star Wars KOTOR 1-2, Neverwinter Nights 1-2, Baldur's Gate II & ToB, Jade Empire (I think, haven't played it yet)

Bioware games always have a romance, for some reason. A little bit of social interaction is nice, if the devs do it well.

 

[Kromis]

The Witcher (you get to see all the naughty bits too)

 

[Bateluer]

All the Bioware and OE games do, to my knowledge. I am not not certain about Jade Empire, I didn't get very far into it. It wasn't up to Bioware's usual quality and level of polish.

Second the Witcher.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate has a nice romantic subplot.

Max Payne 2.

"Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is a violent, film-noir love story for mature audiences. Dark, tragic and intense, the in-depth story is a thrill-ride of shocking twists and revelations. Love hurts. The fans of Max Payne won't be disappointed."

It does, just very shallow compared to BG2 (although not so bad as in NWN1's OC, although it does exist). It is also hurt by the fact that you can only have one other person in your party. Although, it is possible to do "two at once," IIRC (never tried it myself). NWN1: Hordes of the Underdark is the only one to contain a semi-decent romantic subplot of the official Bioware content. Plenty of free player made Romance mods around.

To expand this game's content in that department:
Romantic Encounters
Flirt Pack

Wow, you must be kidding, I LOVED Jade Empire. It's one of the very few games I played through twice to different endings. Also, if you play your cards right it allows to have a menage-a-trois. :evil:

Max Payne 2 is the most romance driven game that I can remember playing. The Witcher is another one that was heavy on romance as well. (Make sure you get the Enhanced Edition which fixes the originally poor english translations. Also the international version keeps all the romantic quests alive that were removed in the US version.) All of the Bioware games I have played had some romantic underpinnings as well.

How was Max Payne 1 in terms of romance and overall gameplay?

And do you need to play Max Payne 1 to enjoy part 2?

And is Witcher an actual romance subplot or just cyber boobs?

what's the difference?

 

[Dorkenstein]

Nothing says "romance" in Mass Effect better than having your xenophobic lover waste an alien teammate by just nodding your head.

 

[Borealis7]

umm...the Sims: Hot Date?

Max Payne 1 does have some romance involved, but it is mostly about revenge for his family. It is Max Payne 2 where the romance is really an integral part of the story line. I would play and finish Max Payne 1 before starting Max Payne 2 though. The second story does indeed build on what happened in the first.

The Witcher does have a romance subplot. It also allows you to be somewhat of a manwhore. There are around 20 or so women you can sleep with in the game, while only two are actually involved in the "real" romance subplot. Some of the 20 have interesting stories and ways of seducing them that are fun, while others are just cheap sluts.
