Once again Ryan is handed an excellent theme month with February and Romance in Video Games. We take a look at the early and awkward years, before graduating to the BioWare upgrade to romance in video games. Then explore romance as a main mechanic, bromance, and yes… Spicy games (don’t Google that)!

Each month, we alternate posting a Host Special, focusing on personal experiences, our favourite games, or just stories that peaked our interest. We wanted to provide some bonus content for our Patrons, so the Monthly Host Special is exclusive to Patrons of The Gamers’ Inn. Thank you for the support, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed putting this together.

Thank you for your support and happy gaming!

Our Saturday Night Coral Island Co-op group has seen you logging into the game. We've been following your progress via your Steam achievements hehe. Good presentation! For me, the romance side of games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Knight of the Old Republic and more add a powerful motivation to the game, without being egregious about the sex part of it. It's almost left me spoiled, in that any RPG without at least some sort of relationship system with companions (not necessarily romance) feels empty. It's one of the reasons I fell off of MMORPG's. I get that player vs player interaction is at the core, but sometimes I want a well written story with well written characters. Not Steve after a long day of work talking about his pet lizard!

I agree! Having more in depth relationships with characters helps drive story, and makes you more invested. I do appreciate the way Bioware approaches character relationship systems. It's why I enjoyed what I played of Baldur's Gate III, which has a similar approach. While Avowed didn't have romance options for the most part, there was still a lot of character interactions that play a key role in progressing the story. So that one is a good example of not having Bioware romance, but still plenty of character moments. When you break for the day in the game at camp, you can walk around and chat with each character, similar to Baldur's Gate III. Was great! - RM
