Romancing the gith (sh.itjust.works)

So, I only recently started my first run through. Didn't give a flying fig about the romance stuff, it was just something to click through to get back to story and combat.

Annnnd then act 3 hits, and Lae'zel wants to talk one morning and gives a dialogue that actually brought a tear to my eye. Ffs, she's one of the least likable characters at the beginning of the game. More an annoyance than anything else, story wise.

And then she rejects her queen, finds love and there's this beautiful moment. Definitely not the writing I expected for her, but damned if it didn't work.

Makes me want to actually pay attention to the romance arcs now, see what the rest are like.

@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works I bought the game early on without much investigation as I'd been looking for a DnD game and this seemed to be it. I played without any research, and I didn't even know there was a romance mechanic. I discovered it when somehow Lae'zel had dialogue options that seemed ... unusual (for her). Turns out, pretty much the ONLY character I don't have to try to romance is Lae'zel. Seems my playstyle is exactly what fits her character.

Every time. All the others take a lot of work.
