I think that's what we're deciding to do. I'm glad I spoke up about this when I did, so we could sort this out. So if you want to "fall in love" with any of the old romance options, they're available in the other game.I guess you could do, old characters cannot be romanced unless you pick them for being romanced from the first game, that would eliminate some writing since there'd only be a need to write continuations for the old characters.
Heh, definitely!ArgleBargle wrote: Times like this, I'm glad all I have to do is sit back and buy the games
But no we don't want to repeat the same romances in the sequel, that's what Aleema was talking about. Can't have the same scenes (even with different texts) both in 1st and 2nd game. So the romance would be possible only with ONE character each playthrough (the one you choose at the beginning). This approach has his own problem though: it would mean that to romance all the previous characters, you would have to begin the game several times, one for each, so... not sure it's a good solution either. 
Yeah, I'm more and more thinking to just have full NEW roster of characters regarding romance. Probably the best solution for players and for us too since less headacheAleema wrote:I think that's what we're deciding to do. I'm glad I spoke up about this when I did, so we could sort this out.

Old ones could still be present (for variety and gameplay) but not be allowed to romance them anymore ...

I'm in the same boat, I tend to play these types of games over and over again anyways, any with romance options really. Be it your games Jack, or AAA's like Mass effect, as I don't want my characters to cheat on their LI.wildcard wrote:...

You are not supposed to cheat anyway!
XD
Personally I wouldn't mind that.
If you want to continue the relationship of 'old' you can only date this one character.
If you want something 'new' you play without picking a romance from the first game and can go for someone else.
I do hope thought in the sequel there will be character quests from the start, so you can get to know the new guys better without having to romance them.
Also I'd find it weird if you played Elenor and had Rei's ending and then would pick him out just to break up with him and go for someone else given their romance ending...
I cannot believe I made an account just to say something to this...

but maybe i'm in the minority for enjoying that?
No not the endings, but the beginning of romance. I mean for example the whole Myrth courting by Saren. It would be pointless (and boring) to repeat that in the sequel IF the player doesn't choose to continue her romance. Each old character would get a new development of their relationship and a new final image (so you can see more of Rei's featuresDoctorMario911 wrote:Oh i see what you guys are talking about... Man im a slow poke. Just to make sure, are you guys saying that you dont want to repeat the love endings with that character u romanced with in the first one?
maybe this time he'll be more careful where he exposes his assets! lol) worse case I guess I could put a cheat mode to change it later in the game... Don't worry, us evil writers can always add a very dramatic event that will force the player to pick a stance, allowing him/her to break up with anyone!wildcard wrote:Also I'd find it weird if you played Elenor and had Rei's ending and then would pick him out just to break up with him and go for someone else given their romance ending...
This would mean no continuing GxG at all.
