It's always boggled my mind why Bioware gets praised for their character romances when they have always been so puerile. They may or may not be well written, but they are inevitably conceived and executed shallowly. The best-written CRPG romance I've yet seen is the Planescape TNO/Annah romance, but even that is non-interactive and mostly without consequences. It's fantasy novel sex. That's as far as we've come. It's not mature to have sex if it doesn't rise above the level of sub-par young adult pulp novels. Absolutely, 100%, totally agree about CRPG “romances”.
