Mass Effect veteran says Exodus will avoid easy romances

Exodus, an upcoming RPG from developers with Mass Effect roots, aims to avoid easy romances in favor of more realistic, sometimes challenging relationships.

Novelist and narrative director Drew Karpyshyn says the team's approach to romance is to "start by giving players as many options as we can, but we want to keep it so that these characters feel real." With experience on everything from Baldur's Gate and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to Mass Effect, the writer is no stranger to responsive in-game relationships.

Developer Archetype Entertainment is trying to carry that responsiveness forward in Exodus.
