JasAlveran, I know what you mean. I know that there are people who love Rory (and there's probably a lot of them). I admit some of the scenes with him/her are cute (I loved the Incredibles pencils bit). But I hate how the game just ASSUMES that you are in love with Rory, no matter how hard you try to stay away from it ('Oh, you have a crush on Rory!' - 'For the hundredth time, I DON'T!' - 'Awww, don't pay attention to what MC says, he/she is just being shy'). Maybe it feels natural if you are attracted to Rory, but if you're not - that feels forced as hell.

As for Kenna and Dom - no, their romance isn't forced at all. In my playthroughs they were in love as youngsters, but after separation they chose other people to stay with. And that was natural, because people change, and they don't have to love one person for all eternity. Kenna and Dom had a lot of interaction, because they are close to each other, they know each other and care about each other. But Kenna never stalked Dom when he was training with Sei (which is kinda what happens in HSS: CA) and vice versa. There was no hint of jealousy. This romance is implied, yes, but no one tells you that Dom is your love and fate and whatsoever.

I guess PB sticks with implied-or-forced LIs for now (Adrian from Bloodbound, Sawyer from BSC, Adam from AME, Sinclaire from D&D, probably Cassian from TCoR). Which is really sad.
