Do you pursue romance in RPG's?

[SHR-51]

Yeah but in movies it's real people, not digital constructs—so you know they're not faking it…

Well, they're acting, so they are faking it. Or what do you mean?

what do you mean?

Don't mind me, just being a Zed

I feel like I'm taking things too seriously, as usual

In all the RPGs I've played, romance never feels authentic or, for lack of a better word, 'real'.

Well that's because it isn't real, it's a game, that can be taken two ways
But running around slaughtering people (NPC's) isn't "real" either, so I find it a nice break, some games I romance the same NPC, some games I switch up, just depends if I am using a male or female PC.
My Wife asked me once why I would play a Female PC and I replied it was much nicer than staring at Male Dragonborn's Butt all day!
I have to say to each their own, it is not my way or the highway.
Nice reading a different opinion even though I don't know some of the games listed.

Well switch it to first person!! Of course, if you were taking lots of pretty screenshots, that would obviously be a different matter.

Recently I liked the originality of the romances in the Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Especially "the evil" ones, because untypically You could play them as not redemption arcs but as "let's be even more evil than before, together!".
