Reader Discussion: Do You Date Video Game Characters?
Fans judge games according to many different factors, including things like combat, controls, story, and setting. However, for many gamers, there's another equally important category: romance.
Mass Effect: Andromeda and Persona 5 are two recent RPGs from series that have a tradition of letting players pursue romantic relationships – and some people get super-invested in their digital dating lives. This isn't about games in which two characters are thrown together automatically as part of the plot; it's about when you have control over the outcome, and are able to actively woo the characters you like.
So, when you're playing a game, how important is it for you to have a potential love interest? Is it a requirement? Or does it feel forced? If there are multiple options, do you agonize over who you should pick?

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
