    There was romance in the Outer Worlds, just not PC romance. I distinctly remember Parvati (the mechanic character) having a cute romance quest that you help her on.

    That being said, it's good Josh Sawyer knows his limits. I'd rather see him do another smaller project like Pentiment than attempt a Baldur's Gate 3. Obsidian really just doesn't have the sauce to do something like that right now (and likely will never).

    I never got around to PoE2, but I'm definitely one of the handful of people disappointed that Tyranny will never get a sequel lol (it's still fun as a shortish CRPG, though!)

    Also, there's next to no chance that Avowed is going to be a good game.

      I don't think Josh was involved in Outer Worlds. There's an option or two for romance in Pillars 2 though, and you can set two companions up.

        I only mentioned it since the Slandered Gaming video specifically mentioned Outer Worlds. You're right, though, that one was Tim Caine and Leonard Boyarsky co-directing.

        I'm not a big player romance in CRPGs person, but all of those old Black Isle guys were never great at it lol
