As far as I'm concerned the relationships in that game are a joke. I once accidentally agreed to get married to a random guy I had just met over a misinterpretation of his wording. He said he was interested in me, asked if I was interested in him, and I said yes because I wanted to know who he was, suddenly he was telling me to arrange our wedding. I didn't even realize my character was gay until then.Mekanicum said:There's always Skyrim. Of course calling the marriages in that game "relationships" is a bit of an oxymoron, but I did appreciate that you were essentially allowed to construct the romances entirely in your head(my lady vampire lord and Lydia had such a lovely courtship).
Love that game and it's sequel, despite the kink still a fun little RPG.Therumancer said:Well, it depends on how you want to qualify things. "Lightning Warrior Raidy" (both games) for example are almost non-stop lesbian kink, with an occasional heterosexual scene to mix things up.
Never heard of this game (looks it up) Okay I need to get this game. I know what I'm purchasing this friday when me paycheck comes through. Thanks for introducing it to me.Outside of porn, one little known title that comes to mind is "Loren: Amazon Princess". Loren herself is a lesbian. There are also romance options for all gender possibilities (man on man, girl on girl, hetero) somewhere in the game. Your character can be either male or female which means the game can have a lesbian relationship in focus if you want there to be. That said there is very little in the way of "action" despite the title being made by Winter Wolves (which focuses on romance graphic novels mostly, their RPGs represent something of a departure from their normal format), this is also why it's made it onto app-based devices and STEAM. It should be noted that a big part of why I mention this is that Loren is actually the hero of the story, although not the protagonist, your character is pretty much a slave/servant sent to assist her during a quest to rescue her mother which leads to her being exiled from the amazon kingdom at least temporarily. Depending on the choices you wind up making, you can wind up in situations where you say visit the elven kingdom in the woods, and the queen pretty much gives Loren a couple of forest nymphs to have sex with as part of her hospitality (which she indulges off screen) nothing particularly graphic or fan service oriented overall there, the point being that Loren pretty much does her thing (more "Conan" style if Conan was a lesbian than anything) whether you try and romance her or not.
I guess I just think differently about this fan service crap. Anything could be fan service in my mind. Violence can be, fancy swordplay could be as well. Even unnecessarily pretty graphics. I see absolutely no reason why sexual content, even very graphic or slutty, can not have a place in games alongside violence, graphical fidelity and, dare I say it, storylines, mature or otherwise. "Fan service" is thrown around as if it bears some kind of negative stigma, yet the shit that is being classed under that term is not negative in the slightest in my mind.DementedSheep said:You don't consider this fan service?

There are plenty of ways they could have worked in her sexual orientation rather than walking in on them and casting a spell that just so happens to require her to make out with the target. You can like fan sevice and have it done well but it's still fan service.
In case you think I'm gong on a sexism or exploiting lesbians tangent I think they do the same with Geralt in a few places though a bit less blatantly.
Games a Thrones has fan service to.
Its not about lesbians but I thought that Bill was supposed to be gay in the Last of Us. They even had Ellie take one of his gayporn magazines. It also seemed like Bill's partner wasn't just his survival partner.Caramel Frappe said:It'd be nice to see more gay/lesbian relationships in video games. I'm sort of wanting more out of realistic video games and if you want to convince me about 'immersion' then let's talk about things like that. Like, despite the OP listed a few games with lesbianism- why isn't there relationships that show they're just as normal as straights?
Would be cool if a game like the Last of Us had that sort of gig going on. Not even relationships, but also about touchy subjects. I want to see a game that has it all and we decide how we feel about it. Then again, Fallot: New Vegas had that. Everything I wanted, it pretty much touched on those topics and more.
Actually, (assuming I understand what people mean when they say "fan service", which seems to refer to bits of a fiction that sexually objectify characters. Why it's called "fan service" is beyond me.) I thought Game of Thrones WAS a little fanservice-y at times. Really just the lesbian scenes with Dany. (In the books, not the show)BathorysGraveland2 said:By all means, explain. I thought the sexual aspects in Witcher 2 was rather well done, all in all, unlike the comedic (but charming) way its done in the first game. Here, it's very Game of Thrones-y.DementedSheep said:it is a trait of her character but the way its presented is very fanservicy.
Not sure if normal is the word I would use to describe straight relations in video games....Caramel Frappe said:It'd be nice to see more gay/lesbian relationships in video games.

To be fair, the spell that happens to require her to make out with her target is a love spell to make the target of the kiss fall in love with her and believe anything she says. Hence the Rose of Remembrance.DementedSheep said:There are plenty of ways they could have worked in her sexual orientation rather than walking in on them and casting a spell that just so happens to require her to make out with the target.
