Romance in Shadowera

**HumanPriest** · 12-03-2014, 06:18 AM

I know, I know... do I hear collective groans? lol

I was wondering if you have ever thought about which characters would make good pairings in Shadowera, based on either their card arts or abilities?

I have always thought Zhanna

would definitely fall in love with Kurt Whitehelm

or Knight of the Golden Dawn

because she is a priestess dedicated to healing others and those guys are literally knights in shining armor. I can just envision the hot Knight of the Golden Dawn

sweeping her off her feet after staying at her temple to be healed and they ride off in the sunset together!

Is it a possibility in the future that we might have an epic love story between characters that play out onto cards like say, their offspring becoming a hero card or card abilities that relate to love/romance (so it is not just about using sexuality as a weapon as many female card arts do)? such as a hero support ability or attachment "Romance Is In the Air" and it gives your hero a huge bonus (like +3 attack and +3 health, and gains protector) if his or her spouse card is also in play? Just a thought. It would be nice to have a touch of romance admist all the death and destruction in the game.

Richard and Kahlan had such an epic love story throughout their Sword of Truth series and I think it wouldn't be such a far-fetched idea to have that similar thing in Shadow Era's fantasy world.

and Amber

wound up being a couple.

Romances? This is not a Bioware game

I like concepts like the OP's. This weekend my girlfriend ordered me the L5R edition of Love Letter and we are looking forward to playing it. We both play SE as well.

Brainstorming, I'll suggest a D/s pairing of Agent Rex

and Layarian Seductress

.

I might also like to see a Victorianesque love triangle featuring Elizabeth Winterborn

.

Ythan

and Serena

could be a cool couple.

These are all hetero, because I have less of a sense of nuance regarding typical queer attractiveness, but I'd love to see non-hetero relationships portrayed in the game, both in flavor text and mechanics.

lol, romance and porn are mutually exclusive. Only guys would automatically link romance to sex. Pffft. lol

That is funny you mentioned Agent Rex

and Layarian Seductress

as both of their expressions are exactly similar.
