I'm determined to remains faithful to my soulmate Karlach, but it's sooo hard, everybody is practically throwing themselves at me.

Not pictured: Sarah and your character being the most obnoxiously affectionate couple

Has anyone here ever walked up to their partner and just blurted out "can I tell you something? Waking up with you every day is like a dream come true" completely out of the blue? Cause that ain't me

This is of course after "flirting" with her for a while. Is outright saying "I love you" even flirting? And why did it take three separate instances of outright saying "I love you" for Sarah to get the hint that maybe my character has feelings for her?

And while I'm ranting, why couldn't I invite my parents to our wedding? We brought in her mom who she hasn't seen in 20 years, but my parents literally live 5 minutes away from the lodge and I couldn't invite them? "They don't have a ship" I HAVE A SHIP

The answer to your questions, and so many more, is: because it's Starfield.
- Fr, I should have waited for starfield before playing bg3. I’ve become spoiled.
  Do not, my friends, become addicted to good writing. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

Yes actually, and quite often. I want my wife to know how much she means to me and how glad I am to share our lives together.
- You got lucky and found someone perfect for you.
It's clear that much of the work on this game was done by like 30 different companies.
Every single thing about it feels disjointed, disconnected, half assed and schizophrenic.
And then when you go into NG+, it makes all that feel like childs play and gets really stupid.
It links into conversations in some places, but not in others where it would make actualy sense.
You can opt to not tell Constelation you're Starborn and then instantly take them into space on your alien spaceship without a single question asked by any of them.
They'll comment on your powers, long before you're at the part of the main quest where you normally get them.
All the dialogue and relationships are even blander than the actual main story, which seems to have been written by some Tumblr jackass that was so shit they even got rejected by The Witcher tv-show writing staff.
If Bethesda had just said "hey, we created this space framework and now it's up to modders to make an actual game out of this", I could've respected that.
It would've been more honest than delivering this disjointed mess of a game.
Another big annoyance I've had with Starfield is that they broke one of the sacred rules of Bethesda games with it.
In the past, if you stumbled upon something while exploring, killed or solved it, then went to someone who had a quest related to what you did, they would acknowledge you already did what they wanted you to do and you could move on.
In Starfield, they hide, lock and don't even spawn quite a lot of things, so you can only find them, if you're sent to them by a quest giver.
This game that is all about freedom and exploration has almost all relevant content that isn't flavor locked away behind being told to go somewhere, rather than exploring the star systems and finding them.
- Bro thats a pretty big main quest spoiler to drop unmarked

Yes, that's actually a really cute and sweet thing to do.

Yes, Every day.

I mean, this meme is accurate, because that's about how expressive the faces are in Starfield...

It’s also how the NPCs pose regularly in Cyberpunk.
Wdym? They also smile weirdly at the least appropriate times. They got that serial killer grin.
Still not sure what creeps me out more, the weird facial expressions or them laser focusing their attention at you most of the time.
And then not at all at times they should.

You don’t get sex cutscenes but your charter definitely fucks in starfield. When you sleep when your romantic companion is following you they will have dialogue that you slept together.

Give it a few months, there will definitely be a mod. Pretty sure there has been for every Bethesda game since Morrowind.
- I can’t find it rn, but some dude was getting an unhinged amount of upset about the way they handled the character models or something. Claimed it would make horny mods much more difficult to make than Skyrim.

I’m gonna have to say Mass Effect has them both beat. Judy was awesome in Cyberpunk 2077, but romancing aliens in Mass Effect was just too good.

Witcher 3 also has a similar thing to cyberpunk. It really is a dev rizz diff.
