Welcome to the 30 Day challenge of November which is going to be all about Role Playing Games of all shapes and sizes, whether produced in Japan or USA, tactical or real-time and more.

Sometimes the characters in RPGs are not simply vendors or questgivers, or people you order around; sometimes they’re capable of…romance! So whether we’re talking romance between an avatar and NPCs, party members, or trying to breed the perfect soldier, the main prompt of the day is: What RPGs had the best romance system? Do you even engage with Romance in RPGs, and if so, is it based in role-playing or utilitarianism?

Bonus prompt: Best and worst mandatory RPG love interests?

New Prompt Plus: What RPG had the worst/cringiest/most ill concieved romance system?

Optional Postgame Prompt: Whats the most work you’ve ever put into romancing/dating a specific character, and was it worth it?
