Romance System

[Jaywalker]

Being constantly flirted with by random NPCs sounds horrendous.

I want to play a fantasy story, not a romance sim.

I've played games where romance is an option but you can go through without being flirted with! Whole thing depends on your choices in certain dialogues. It's basically a percentage system, if you pick romantic options repeatedly through encounters the game basically goes "oh okay you're sure and want this well go ahead" and you get the romance. If you don't pick the romance you don't experience it and can keep going without.

I'd personally love the romance option simply 'cause I enjoy romances in stories. It's another kind of relationship dynamic, can be interesting and brings its own character insight to the table. If someone else wants to play more self-insert style though and have an element of dating sim... I mean as long as the rest of the game doesn't suffer and it brings in more money overall they should be allowed I think. As long as no one's forced to go with it, which again I've seen games manage just fine. This seems like it would be really doable in theory.
