My favorite BioWare romance is Sky in Jade Empire. It’s obnoxiously hard to pull off, because BioWare was still really stealthy with the gay options (see Juhani in KOTOR - the first canonical LGBT Star Wars character, but they almost all of her romance out). You have to really aggressively reject the female options to romance Sky, it basically takes a guide, but I just love the story and character.
He had a wife and daughter, but lost both to slavers. He’s pretty open during the romance that he had never considered a relationship with a man before, but that there something about you that he finds magnetic. You help get revenge on the people who helped his family, but it’s not like he instantly falls in love with you for doing it. It’s a very subtle slow burn. It feels more genuine than the two female options you get as a male character, who are basically throwing themselves at you from the time you meet them.
What I really need is make Revan/Carth though. Carth is perfect video game husbando material.
Jade Empire is such an underrated and forgotten game. I've been looking for a good Let's Play or streamer playing it for years but nobody ever plays it. Such a shame, it really belongs in the same echelon of early Bioware classics as DA:O and Mass Effect in my opinion.
