Why have one love interrests when you can have multiple .

Tho hien is 10/10000

I will admit I have a feeling for Emet-Selch, but not love

It isn't real love.. because the character is fictional.

It is the mark of a fantastic story when you feel emotional towards characters - both good and bad.

It was the same when I played through the Dragon Age series

Are you happily married? Could it be this is filling some kind of space?

Y’all need Hydaelyn

Lol really though I think feeling ‘connected’ to a character in the story like this - like a friend- is a mark of the great quality of writing. Characters you meet throughout the story feel like their own people and not a device to progress quest line. If the characters were bland or uninspired it wouldn’t really be possible to get that feeling.

I hope SE is able to continue the high quality of the story writing and characters in future (not that I have any reason to doubt that they would lol)

Sorry girl, Crystal Exarch has already wifes, a thousands of them.

To the OP, since normality is just an average of individual crazyness, you don't have to worry.

Big feels, OP! I don't think yoshi's gonna let our WoDs/WoL's have romantic subplots.
Immersion breaking EB was supposed to satisfy the romance need and I ain't having it.
Anywho there is some primo almost professional quality fanfic out there and a lot it is built with self insertion in mind. Give those a shot if you haven't already some of these people can really write.

It would be nice though to have an optional romance subplot at some point. Our WoDs/WoL's are probably getting lonely without an actual companion..at least mine is.

And most likely be taken captive, used as leverage or even killed off sooner or later.

Nothing cries out more to be a target than being a companion of a powerful, primal-slaying, world(s)-saving entity which you can possibly exploit for your own purposes.

The Star Wars MMO did it well. I just don't see it happening here.

And while I love a lot of the characters in the game and my WoL would spark up a romance with a few, I don't feel real romantic attraction towards fictional characters. It's fine to feel attraction and emotion towards a well-written character, but taking it seriously like those guys who marry 2D girls? There's some emotional disorder going on there.
