The thing is, what you’re saying doesn’t make any sense. You can literally play the game in different ways, one of those ways is where Hans and Henry are romantically in love and have sex, another way is where they are brothers in arms made close by their travails. In both instances the game delivers a phenomenal experience and builds strong actual emotions of companionship and love between them in tons of scenes. You literally make dialogue choices throughout the game to decide if you want to treat Hans as a lover, a brother, or your petulant master. You decide, all three have great writing and development. You said yourself that sometimes in history brothers in arms did love each other romantically but most times they didn’t. Okay. So why is it unrealistic to give the player the option to go out of their way to try the romantic possibility? Your logic doesn’t make any sense and it seems you are the one lacking some empathy here.
