I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. - Edit 2

Yes, Bioware has them programmed to cater to any version of the player, but it's still weird. It is also a little weird that they all hit on you after a certain amount of favor is gained. (though I've only played DA
, not DA2) I wanted to get Zevran to the point where he'd train my male Rogue as an Assassin, but then had to derail his flirt train in the process. That's a little annoying, but not something I'd write a strongly-worded letter about.
As much as I love Bioware games, in-game romances are almost always a bit creepy. It's wish fulfillment for few, mediocre for most and painful to watch for the rest of us. Also, most of the ones I've seen amount to talk->gift->talk->gift->talk->sex=win. They treat sex like it's supposedly the ultimate point in a relationship. I do recall Aerie being able to have a baby in BG2, but I think it only amounted to an extra inventory item. I get that this isn't real life relationship sim or anything, but if you're gonna include it...
Hey... at least the dog didn't hit on me.
Alyx Vance from HL2 is still the best in-game female there is. She's smart, well-written, has a wide range of emotion and good sense of humor. She even keeps her clothes on the whole time. <3 Valve for getting it.
