#sorcery!

[rpgchoices]

A thousand thanks to @lairofsentinel and @alcassin to help me complete these lists!

I am finally putting all the games I know with same sex/queer romances. Mainly, I am focusing on non-dating games, so games that are about a specific plot, adventures, other non-romantic events but that do have romance options in them.

Recommended: Are all games that I played personally and that have full romance. Informational: Games I know have romance, but I have not played personally or I could not confirm there was enough romantic content, or games where the romantic content is minimal (ex. Fable)

The lists are divided (linked) in:

RPGS (ex. BG3, DA:O, DO2 etc.), in total 39 games are currently added in this list

Visual novels that do not focus around dating (ex. Solstice, Loren etc.) but that still have romantic options/romantic storylines, currently 10 games in the list

Life simulators or walking simulators (ex. Stardew Valley), currently 7 games in the list

Others, currently 7 games in the list. Others are all games that did not end up in the above categories (ex. hack and slash games like Hades, puzzle games like Newfound courage)

There is also a category for dating sim visual novels. Here I will only add games I played and enjoyed given that it is usually pretty easy to find queer visual novels.

If there is a "what to expect" summary from this blog (a lot written by lairofsentinel!!) I also linked that!

Flanker is the boyflop ever. He tries to kill you for practice. When it goes wrong and you help he puts himself in debt to you and he could’ve avoided this BECAUSE HE TRIED TO KILL YOU FOR PRACTICE. He makes up an arbitrary rule set surrounding his debt to you despite all willingness on your part to have a normal friendship. You say shit like “hey buddy” to him and he says “I will kill you.” He decides to gamble for his life debt to you even though you offer not to. He decides he’s out of your debt on the weirdest whims and thus is presumably making every effort to get out of it but also doesn’t just like. Kill you or something. He tells you you’re not friends. Then he gives you his only known weapon. He’s like a cat that really likes you but doesn’t want anyone to know. He was hanging out face down in a bush three stories in the air for no fucking reason. He’s one of the only people who can force of will his way out of the crown. You’re enemies. You can sleep with him though. He helps you kill god. But then he gets scared of the crowd thanking him for this immediately after. He scaled a vertical, smooth tower to kill god and thinks this is normal. You have to hold his hand in the crowd and he stares at the ground the whole time. He breaks your flute because you’re an annoying ass bitch. You’re probably married now though. He probably has autism. He is just so fucking strange.

What rpgs do you recommend? This blog made me find out about a lot that ive never heard of and wanna play some day ^_^

Ohhh hello!! I think it depends on what you like in an rpg in general or what rpgs you played before and your priorities!

For me the main elements I want are characters and good story, but characters will always be first so I basically only play rpgs with companions. I also love romance but I tend to play only queer romances so I mainly play rpgs that allow me to play a wlw or mlm romance.

You can also check my series of useless recs and what to expect for different recs!

Let me know what kind of games you'd like to play and I can give some more personalized recs!

In general my absolute favorites are (divided in types)

ISOMETRIC (so a lot to read, and you look everything from above):

Pathfinder Kingmaker: amazing character, fav polyamorous romance with a lady elf and an orc guy, the story is okay and the mechanics are fine, but the characters really make it shine.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous: incredible customization of player character, great companions and romances, AMAZING story and villain. The mechanics and gameplay are like Kingmaker and not my favorite, but here they added turn based.

Pillars of Eternity (and sequel): amazing amazing story and very well created characters, the romances are not my favorite but I still love Tekehu!

Rogue Trader: this is set in a very bleak world where everyone is a villain so well, everyone is horrible. It is still quite a fun game if you do not mind the setting! And it has one of the most messed up romances ever (Marazhai)!

Shadowrun Hong Kong: I love the setting and the companion so much, but no romance.

Expediton Viking: Historical setting is not my favorite, but the game is still quite good and allows you do play as an usual companions rpg. It also has romanced!

DISCO ELYSIUM: I know I said I mainly play games with romances, and this has none, but everyone in the world should play Disco Elysium. One of the best isometric rpgs ever made.

Divinity Original Sin 2: If you liked BG3 maybe you will like this one too! The tone is much more humorous and absurdist, the story is quite good and the companions are amazing. The romances are also pretty good and as BG3 you can play as one of the companions.

ACTION RPG (is this even the name? Rpgs like Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate 3, so you can see the characters, and they speak)

Of course these need no introduction (but I put them in order of how much I love the companions and romances): Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age Origins, Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, Mass Effect Andromeda, Mass Effect trilogy.

Enderal: If you have Skyrim you can easily install Enderal for free, it is a mod but it is an indipendent game with its lore and characters. The only game that destroyed me and makes me cry when I think about it, so... play at your own risk. Amazing romances, incredible story.

The Technomancer: While the gameplay is a bit repetitive, the game is still pretty good! The characters are all interesting and the romance is kind of cute even if short.

OTHERS:

Sorcery!: This is an rpg that is basically the adaptation of a text game. It is absolutely perfect, one of my favorite games ever. It also has one of my favorite romances (Flanker)

Not exactly classic rpgs but still amazing: (I just wanted to recommend two of my favorite games that have roleplay elements):

Heaven's Vault

Dreamfall chapters (and the series in general)
