I like how my favorite rpg romance experiences I've had are ones where it doesn't work out mid-game or post-game tbh.
#idk what it says about me it's not a rule....#but realistically like. you have a protagonist in this game. and these are highly charged scenarios where people are meeting. and yes likely#connecting deeper than they ever would otherwise--#but also typically at the end of that game... theyre losing that scenario... they're losing the everyday immediacy of whatever social#network or resources...#is your protagonist able to just move on and disconnect from that role... from that purpose?#if they cant... does their partner want to move on and live a life together... can your protagonist accept living a life#when potentially the consequences of their actions or when Something May Return?#If they can settle down at the end of their journey#are they the same person who romanced that partner? are they still compatible? Will that lack of immediate shared purpose make the#connection fizzle out without a common motivator at the level of Save The World or whatever?#And even if your retired protagonist is Actually Retiring and accepting the end of that role or purpose...#is their partner settling down? anyway.#i love my initial failed Lae romance playthrough of devastation with Fe aha#and i also loved my failed Josie romance. in both iterations of that character#anD i love my fucked up failed Liara romance especially with my main Shep.#having connections fizzle out or conflict you cant resolve through communication within the confines of the game is interesting#anyway. thanks for enduring my tag rant 💜#like some of my characters are happy ever after sure... but its more interesting and cathartic to have breakups and failure to communicate#idk about everyone. but for instance the fact that the Josie romance hinges on a public declaration of love... are you telling me every#person who romanced Josie handled that naturally?? couldn't be my OC who overthinks and thought it was circumstantially inappropriate
