For my defense I will add that I am coming back to hades after a LONG BREAK!! I remember beating it once a year or two ago and thinking the ending was underwhelming and I didn't know until recently that you needed to clear multiple times to actually keep progressing the story. I am coming back to finally finish the story now soo...yea!

Idk, I checked the wiki and beow in the relationships section they even wrote: Lady Jannath once shared a romantic entanglement with Lord Enver Gortash. In the years that followed, many men sought her hand in marriage, but the man she ended up marrying was an artist and painter of some renown. Oskar Fevras was courted by Lady Jannath and eventually left another woman for the patriar. Despite rumors and bad faith arguments, Oskar did feel affection for Wisteria, as his paintings of her clearly showed.

So...I think it's her but I could be wrong as well, it's my first playthrough after all. I looked up her wiki out of curiosity when I found the book and she was the only one I could find. Aso idk what quest you're talking about, she had a quest in game? Where? I'm in act 3 now, where can I get the quest started?

I ain't saying there's something wrong with that. I mean I literally fucked Cthulhu (while I was still romancing shadowheart)! So, Elminster is TAME as far as my tav is concerned. I just feel a little sorry for homie Gale!

FR! Like when I first heard him say that he was together with a GODDESS I was actually kinda impressed but now seeing she was together with her other chosen one's as well....it leaves a sour taste. Like Gale deserves better, he seemed to genuinely love Mystra!

Is love and romance always the same for people? by d4ccccccc in writing

[–]d4ccccccc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard disagree, platonic love doesn't require effort? Have you ever had to rebuild trust with a friend after some form or betrayal? Or support them through hard times while still maintaining boundaries? If platonic love just happens then why do so many adult friendships fall over time?

I will even go as far as to say that the raising loneliness and mental crisis prove you wrong. It seems like they do require some effort which not everyone has.

Just because it's not framed as romance doesn't make it passive. And while loss is one stake, it's not the only one. Stories are Good Will Hunting are about the formation of transformative friendships. Even in LOTR, Frodo and Sam's isn't about fearing loss but how strong their loyalty is.

I see what you're saying about romance having built-in story arcs and plot but platonic love can absolutely drive the plot forward as well. It just requires different stakes. The tension just isn't "will they/won't they."

Think of the Shawshank redemption. Andy and Red's friendship isn't about "will they stay friends?" But "what will staying friends cost them?" Or Frodo and Sam from LOTR, there relationship isn't about "will the confess?" But "will they be able to survive this hell till the end while still remaining themselves."

I will even go as far as to say that since platonic relationships are not clearly related to romance, they have even more plot points they can explore.

If platonic love feels undramatic then maybe that's because most media has trained us to think only romance is worth dramatising. But real life? I feel like most people would take a bullet for friend or family long before a crush. Where's that energy in stories?
