Agreed. Romance is fine if it's like a background thing like how it currently is in the game among npcs or with the eternal ceremony thing. Or if it needs to in the forefront, it should have a purpose, like in horror with Edda Pureheart in Palace of the Dead, or in a more comedic way with Hildibrand. Where its more than just the romance itself, and what that can do to actually make the story better. As if its romance simply for the sake of romance, it can feel as a shallow plot element.
