Doesn't hurt that the game is 'foreshadowing' this with all the subtlety of a punch to the face.
Okay thats fair. I was trying to make sure it wasn't just me seeing stuff that wasn't there, but every time we meet him we get in some fairly nasty situations, see some fairly evil stuff, and have to engage in fights where sexual prowess doesn't work.
It would be nice however if the game made you being evil actually a legitimate choice since... you know... the devs want you to romance a demon. Even the minor bits of corruption in game that exist, the correct choice is ALWAYS to remove Kas' influence. Doing otherwise locks you out of content.
Its like, "I love a demoness and enjoy her corruptions and actions as it removes the morals that inhibit the only thing stopping this sex happy culture from just constantly fucking.... and I am corrupt as fuck... but I will also undo everything Kas has done to this world."
What?
It is worth noting that many organisms don't mate for life at all. From a purely scientific point of view, just because a race evolves to be sapient, doesn't mean they will start falling in love and engaging in long term romances.
The Veparii race in the world has not been explored much at all, but the codex suggests they are entirely solitary, and their attachment to their partner and children is....limited to say the least.
As in giving birth while in the middle of hibernation limited.
The are only 2 reasons we should expect romance from a race like this is
The first is a throwaway line, " Adult female Veparii are generally very choosy about their partners owing to the race's territorial nature, and fights for the right to mate one — between the males
and the female — are common. "
Which personally I don't think means romance in this context.
Finally there is the claim that the mother and father stay together to raise the child before going their separate ways as the child is not born self reliant.... which while a fun claim makes zero sense given the rest of codex. How can a child that isn't self reliant hope to survive being born while their parents hibernate. And why does a mostly solitary species suddenly make families for at least half a decade.
Based on the Codex EXCLUDING the society bit, Children to me is something they do because biology, with no romantic attachment involved in the process.
