Jackie Estacado and Jenny Romano (If you've never played The Darkness, do it now)Allthingsspectacular said:
Ico and Yorda (no attraction, but romance nonetheless)
Wander and Girl (Don't need to explain)
Rin Tezuka and Hisao (By far the only excellent one, really)
Prince of Persia and Farah (surprisingly well done)
Even though they shove it into nearly ever game they make, Bioware can't make a good romance. Bastilla romance was terribly done and most ME and DA romances are terribly artificial as well.
There are also lots of awesome bromances.
During my first playthrough...Daystar Clarion said:
My sunbro died because sidequests are retarded in this game and I automatically ruined it when I apparently beat a specific boss too soon(You MUST kill the headcrabs before battling the demon's ruins caterpillar boss, or he'll die because...uhm...BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE DOES
But, the sunbros could not be kept apart for long, because I replayed it just to make thing right and end the game with Jolly Cooperation.
Well of course I know about the sunbros covenant, but where did all this crazy awesomeness about it online start?Daystar Clarion said:You...Mr Companion said:
You don't know about the Sunbros?
Cole and Trish from Infamous were really good. Not to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't played it, but when it comes to the pivotal choice you have to make regarding Trish, I had such a difficult time deciding what to do...in the end, I picked the morally good option, with my teeth clenched, and felt genuinely sad afterwards...
However, my vote has to go with Vincent and Katherine from Catherine...really, really believable characters. Amazing game.

I really liked Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins. Besides the system of throwing things people like at them, the conversations with her were awesome - her sharp wit and cruel jokes she used since she was a bit insecure, then you got closer, and when you show you really care about her, something she's not experienced before, you can really see how it affects her emotionally. It's a really interesting and deep character. Bioware do make... As good romances as they can, given how their games work out.
Other than that... I can't think of more I've played, except the wordless ones, they're usually good.

Game romances suck 99% of the time, they just don't work unless the characters are already established. ( Usually when the game is based on a book or a movie) The ones where you get to choose who you romance are so unbelievable that they make me cringe.
This man speaks the truth. These characters actually fall in love slowly and steadily. To hear how the Prince things about her, hear his thoughts, really shows a human part of him and his slowly growing affection. What makes it better is that it all goes slowly, they start out disliking eachother. But slowly, grow to love eachother.The Madman said:
A nice tibit is that you can look at her in FirstPersonMode. At first she'll respond to this with a harsh comment like "what are you looking at?" but near the endgame will call out how beautfull your eyes are or something like that. Nice detail.
Indeed...but she was also far too insane for me. Also, I'm not big on cheating, so I went with Katherinesolidmetal said:I like the girl with the C she hotBaron_Rouge said:)
It's a toss up between Squall and Rinoa (Final Fantasy 8) and Alicia and Welkin (Valkyria Chronicals). Both relationships seemed more or less organic compared to the forced relationships in most other games (love me just because!).
In FF8, Rinoa is a girl with a princess complex. Her henchmen even call her "Princess." Then squall comes along, indifferent to her charms, and she can only see him as her knight in shining armor. It would make sense that she would be instantly infatuated despite the fact squall has (at that time) the personality of a cardboard box. On squall's part, he is reluctant to grow an emotional attachment to people, having been hurt deeply in the past when separated from his best friend "sis." He doesn't realize that his chosen path of avoidance is the same as cowardice until Rinoa is floating through space to her certain death. He then decides to not only face his fear of emotional pain but also the fear of certain death by flinging himself into space after her; however this serious of events did not signify a complete reversal for Squall. After landing Ragnarok he literally gives Rinoa up to be imprisoned then shortly after changes his mind once again before executing yet another heroic campaign.
I'd nominate Katawa Shoujo and any of the relationships within it (Elle especially), but that's not really a game.

I competely agree. The part where Squall cuts Rinoa out of the seal in the sorceress memorial is one of my favourite scenes ever.Dreiko said:
