R.O is in games “Romance Option”

No, just because they’re a RO doesn’t automatically mean they’re your spouse, if that were the case then you’d be marrying people you just met a day or a couple hours ago which would be pretty hasty to say the least. If anything the relationship ranges from hooking up to girlfriend or boyfriend.

Spouses mean there is a weeding or some sort of formal union that change from a culture to other. you just met or just started intimate relationship there is no time in few hours to starting a courting plan . Even less a weeding in middle of a horde.

This rite unites them the way no other can the final touch the trek home to be blessed by your community leader or religious head in the community the choice is theirs.

Oh yes handcuff them and put them in a place that’s most likely going to have a crap ton of zombies, and give them very little weapons and ammo to defend themselves. I’m sure they’ll survive that encounter and definitely not die in a matter of minutes. It also wouldn’t make the leader who suggested that idea look like an incompetent madman who sends people to their deaths.

to be fair its not a mandatory thing, just a official thing.
and its chosen as a mall because its dangerous and has potential tools and levels. If your willing to do it it shows either dedication, stupidity, or bravery (possibly combination) the bullets are in case of the worst.
Zombie Oscar the grouch…

I can still see that putting on an incredible amount of pressure on the couple to participate in this just so they have that title of “official.”

I imagine falling in love in the apocalypse would already be very problematic because the chances of dying are even greater which means the chances of losing your loved one are greater or could be. So the fact that you’d risk both of your lives just for some community ceremony comes across as leaning on the stupid side in my opinion. I just don’t see the point in what they’d need to prove by putting themselves in this level of danger. Sure it could come across as sweet, that they’d go to such lengths to prove their love but would it really be worth it ?
If the couple agrees to this, are they or would they be given enough time to actually get used to being handcuffed together so they can synchronize and be successful in getting to those tools ? If not then, I just see one of the lovebirds tripping while going up the stairs or falling while running and dooming them both to be eaten by the dead.

@ThisNameIsTaken The nephew is listed as a challenge for a reason, buddy.

I know I am supposed to be the selfish one. But I don’t understand the frustration about Marcus visit.
YES; I get everyone wanted to bang. But is a kid with 8 years just orphaned that you are the only family he has in middle of a zombie apocalypse the day he probably has killed his first creature and have seen lots of violent gore. WITH 8 years.
Probably is because I am a super protective person and Mara is too when she REALLY cares for someone. But I like I can comfort my only family left nephew. I could smooch this person that probably i just met two hours ago like in other moment

Honestly, I think it was really smart of Jim to do that. He knew that the nephew really wasn’t coming off as a challenge at all-he’s even a benefit in some cases-and he also knows that most of the people who play these kinds of games really care about romance. It was the perfect way to mess with people, and I loved it.
And yeah, I agree with you too. Sex with my RO would be nice-I’ve already mentioned my affection for Jiilian and her supple rear-but that kind of stuff can wait. I still gotta go do my guard duty and get shit together in this camp, after all.
Also, I like that scene. I dunno, it’s really cute when your nephew just casually comes in and starts bumbling about the things on his mind. Even cuter when the RO reciprocates and has a little banter with him.

Yes and Nephew is our son now. If I were RO and watch my possible future bf . Is rude byhis kid after all that kid has suffered. I will break with the guy right that moment. If he has no empathy with his own blood How bad who can treat a person just met? Or if we have babies what type of father will be clearly not a good one.

I once figured out how to romance gina even with nephew as challenge. Gonna try it again
I just hope that (Come next chapter) We’ll be able to romance our ROs even with nephew option, Maybe when we live somewhere safe and nephew is now content and doesn’t feel the need to barge in again.

It’s not like that. It’s just - The way how he barges in and lays down fully ignoring ROs presence(Yet it’s revealed he was/is aware because when RO interacts with him he doesn’t say “Oh hi (RO) you’re here too?” Or something.) It makes him seem like he’s being an asshat lol, and I’ve noticed that when you DON’T have a RO - He doesn’t even enter the tent! I perceive the kid as being over possessive

But… we can romance them with the nephew, we just can’t bang them. I’m pretty sure you can circumvent that if you have a bad relationship. Though, I might have just made that up.
He lost his mother like a week ago and there’s an ever-present threat of being eaten by zombies so can you blame the kid? That aside, I’m not aware of many kids who are super comfortable with their parent/guardian bunking down with the first John Doe to enter camp (maybe that’s just me 
).

Understandable. Onwards to a new topic then - which RO has the best romance scene whilst also having the better personality? Because from what I gather : Rachel is just using you for some secret mission, Jillian tried to rob, manipulate, and lie to you, Kelly is opportunistic and a little petty, and Gina is just using you for sex. The only HONEST RO I can legitimately think of is bailey. I’m looking for a RO that your character interacts with A lot, Has a lot of character development, and (Via In-Game description) is hot yet also a good person. I just wanna create the perfect MC so by the time part 3 comes out I’ll be excited to see where MC’s story is going to take me next. Sorry for the big ass paragraph

That’s a question that doesn’t have a definitive answer, and is really something you’ll have to use your own judgement on. Each person has there own idea on who the best RO is for them or who has the best romance scene and no answer is really wrong. Also we just started our relationship with them, so no one really knows the complete depth of their relationship with their RO right now, that’s probably something that will be answered in part 3 or 4. For all we know our current RO storylines could end in a complete cluster fuck, so I don’t think you’ll be able to know who the “perfect” RO is, you’ll just have to make a decision based on your own judgement and see where the story takes you.
The RO’s you’re talking about are people we just started interacting with on a deep level in part 2 and they just started to have in depth character development, you’re not going to get what you want in part 2. As for the “good person” part, the characters are already changing and adapting in response to the now hostile world around them, so it’s very likely that they’re morality isn’t going to be the same as yours or meet your standards. Which will probably be difficult for you to pursue a romance with them if you want them to align with your own idea/perception of morality.
