Giving people the option doesn't hurt anyone, as far as it not being "accurate" I didn't realize we were playing a documentary. Someone better tell Ubisoft to stop letting people jump from 10 story buildings into a haystack, using a machine to track ancestor memories through DNA and oh yeah just about every other F'ng thing in Assassin's creed lol. If this offends you I'm sorry that's your problem, you don't have to do it and nobody is forcing you to do it it's an option. I'd be totally fine with them removing the romance options completely then nobody could bitch, it really adds nothing to the game unless you actually have a relationship with the character that carries on into the story.
When have romance simulators ever worked in games, or carried over in any meaningful way within the story? Maybe ubi is testing how to do it properly, but they're wasting our time when these romances do nothing for the player progression.
Everyone jumps to " oh you're a homophobe, oh your a bigot, it's so self righteous. just relax we just want our games to be games and for the systems they create to actually be meaningful.
People gotta stop being the pride police online, you can't tell what people's real thoughts are in online forums. And if you say you can, prove to me you have a psychology and writing foresincs degree, then we can have a real discussion about someone's motives in their writing thought process.
