Predictable valentine's day thread!
Best: The Outer Worlds - Parvati + JunleiVery recent, and oh-so-heartwarmingly done. Parvati's companion questline essentially sees you helping her start a relationship. Her character is very well written and developed, and handles her sexuality respectfully without ever reducing itself to novelty, despite the general lack of representation in the medium as a whole.
And of course, if you're a real dick, there is nothing stopping you from executing Junlei right in front of Parvati just as their eventually arrived at date is going well, guaranteeing your place in the deepest depths of videogame hell.
Worst: The Witcher - Geralt + everyoneThis is better if I just quote the Witcher wiki:
Romance cards (also called sexcards) within The Witcher are a trophy of sorts which can be collected over the course of the game. Whenever Geralt sleeps with a female character (or NPC) in the game, you collect a romance card.
The softcore images got censored in the original NA release, but after
much outcry were restored to their original selves in the director's cut. A victory for gamers everywhere!
Also, all of the women are redheads, because apparently that's
the developer's Geralt's type.
