Best romantic sub plots in gaming

[Andothul]

My personal favorite is the relationship between Revan and Bastila in KOTOR. Its almost like a tv show or movie how the sexual and romantic tension plays out in that game and depending on your decisions comes to a memorable and epic conclusion. On top of that it appears now that they had a child together too (SWTOR Comics).

What are some of the romantic plots in games that really seemed genuine and stuck with you in your mind?

 

[CaptainREBell]

Mario and Peach: The hopeless devotion of a plumber to his Princess <3 XD

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Definately the one in Dragon Age between Alastair and the dog.
So very wrong, but so very sweet.

[small]Yea, okay. I may have imagined that, but play it again with that in mind. It makes the game so much better.[/small]

 

[Miumaru]

Mario and Peach: The hopeless devotion of a plumber to his Princess <3 XD

Pfft. Bowser and Peach. he goes through more touble than Mario does to get her and no matter how many beatings tries again.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

Gonna say Gears of War. Marcus and Dom.


Those two have more explosive chemistry than a tnt factory

Also Army of Two. Me and my friend felt gay just playing it.

 

[Rakkana]

Chell and the Companion cube. It's a different kind of love but one just as beautiful.

 

[Enigma6667]

The Mass Effect subplots.

You and the Companion Cube in Portal.

Final Fantasy X. Not a fan of the game, but I just loved Tidus and Yuna's chemistry. Kind of tear jerky

Shadow of the Colossus.

 

[Radeonx]

Definately the one in Dragon Age between Alastair and the dog.
So very wrong, but so very sweet.

[small]Yea, okay. I may have imagined that, but play it again with that in mind. It makes the game so much better.[/small]

...You are a genius.

 

[Willis_D]

Mass Effect romances.
And the relationship in The Darkness. I really liked that relationship, and was quite upset when what happened happened.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

Tidus and Yuna from final fantasy X was really sweet, but I think Squall and Rinoa's romance from final fantasy VIII was better.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

my ME2 character and Tali very emotional and it works as they have a history together

 

[AvsJoe]

I dunno. I'm gonna go with CJ and Denise in GTA: San Andreas.

CJ:
Doesn't listen to her? Check
Recklessly endangers her life? Check, though she asks for it "Let's do a drive-by!"
Cheats on her? Check
Insults her? Check "I'm NOT just another hood rat, CJ!" "*sarcastically* Uh-huh"
Borrows and wrecks her car? Double check
Physically harms her, beats her, kills her? Maybe. Depends on the player.

Yep, rock solid relationship right here.

 

[fix-the-spade]

I'ma go with Alyx and Gordon.

Largely because it's not even officially there.

I liked the Geralts relationship with that nurse in the Witcher. It probably wasnt the best, but as far as romantic subplots in RPGs go, it was the best in a long time. What i didnt like about ME 2, was, that the ship only got into harbor right before the end. I didnt really feel like a relationship, more like an extended "hooking up". Thought Tali was cute and fun to hit on

 

[PixieFace]

My favorite pairings in Dragon Age: City Elf + Alistair, Human Mage + Morrigan, Dwarf Commoner + Leliana, and Dalish Elf + Zevran. I thought each of the subplots were well written, all of the ones I listed just make the most sense to me.

And I know I'll catch flak for it, but I LOVED Carth and the light-sided PC in KotOR. I even loved it more than all of the above romances. It was so very bittersweet and full of doubt. I'm a sucker for imperfection in characters. And also, Bastila + Canderous is my OTP. Don't judge me.

I hated basically everyone in the ME series though. :/

But for games outside of Bioware... Alyx and Gordon are totally made for each other. Alyx likes dat nerd booty.

 

[blarghblarghhhhh]

I like the tension between the male main character and bastilla(sp?) in kotor

 

[zHellas]

Shadow of the Colossus.

The love story of a Boy and his Horse.

Wasn't Daniel Radcliffe in that game?
(Haha, random play reference)

 

[Feriluce]

Dragon age or ME2. The ones in ME1 weren't very good in my oppinion.

 

[Colonel Alzheimer's]

Joker and EDI in ME2. That is going to be one hell of a sex scene, let me tell you.

 

[Atmos Duality]

No Baldur's Gate 2?
Pity.
