Comment away please!!

Well, there's the horrible ones and then there's the blah ones. Final Fantasy 10's wasn't so bad toward the end but the first half was pretty awful.

Oh, there was the one in Dragon Age: Inquisition. "So, you wanna ride the bull?" The bit where the three advisors walk in on the happy couple was classic. Sadly, it all ended in tears and the populace made jokes about my gullibility in the end credits. <Sigh ;>

I'm always partial to Liara T'soni in Mass Effect. While it's easy to say "sure, blue alien bombshell cliche" I find her an incredibly nuanced character all around. He initial infatuation with Shepard, her innocence and naivete despite her book smarts, and the softness and sincerity in her voice. Oh yeah, plus blue alien bombshell, duh.

A close second would be Leliana from Dragon age, but for different reasons. Sexy redhead with a sultry French, er, Orleasan, accent with a passion for sensual fashion. She's confident, experienced, passionate, and probably the only person to ever to make Morrigan blush.

Liara and Tali are my favs too😍

There was no way I could leave Tris after three games, so I told Yennefer to take a hike.
Apart from that the best I can suggest is "Creatures such as we", interactive fiction.

It's on Android right??I have played that!!😍

The romance in the Witcher 3 between Yennefer and Geralt was good enough for me that when I arrived at Kaer Morhan and heard Yennefer was mad at Geralt and throwing chairs arround I really didn't want to go up there and face her

Well, I would have to say that the romance option with both Triss and Yennefer in Witcher 3 was awesome. At least for the few minutes it lasted

Baldur's Gate 2 was one of the first RPGs which featured romances with NPCs. The romance with Viconia is still considered one of the better in history of the genre. You should check it out.

Should I play the first baldurs gate to understand the story though?

Yeah, when I faced her she ported me into a lake.

It's not necessary if you don't have enough time. I also started with BG2 and played BG1 later on. There's a nice summary of BG1 plot in BG2 intro. If you have some spare time, it's recommended to start with the first game however. BG2 is a direct sequel with the same player character and some other NPCs.
