Baldur's Gate 2

I just thought I'd bring up this game to people's attention. This is a game that has all the elements of a "normal" game such as diablo 2, BUT with dating sim elements in it. You can even have a small triangle in it (either you and two different girls, or you, another guy, and a girl). Admitedly, the romance in the game is nowhere near that of a good dating sim (the fact that the characters can be hard to love do to incredible angst might have something to do with it), but I wanted to point that game out as a way that people can mix together game + dating sim. If they had worked on the romance quite a bit more, they'd of had a milestone in gaming history for sure on their hands.
Anyways, I suggest checking the game out! I guess there are other games like that such as Harvest Moon (and some other game I hear that is like harvest moon), but BG2 just stuck with me so well because the game is so freakin immersive. Plus I prefer harvesting orcs over potatoes.
Personally, I think if I were ever to make a dating sim, I'd veer away from the common "Who wants to be a millionaire" approach to dating sims and go for a more of dating sim + game. That's a lot harder through to make of course.
Hmm haha.
Player: "I... I... love you Iriko. Please don't go to America!!"
Game Host: Is that your final answer?
Player: ...Yes
Game Host: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm sorry.
