Thank you for the great comment, that was super informative. I didn’t know Nordic Games became Embracer. That explains it a bit why I thought they came out of nowhere.

The whole Embracer situation is so weird to me. I hadn’t heard about them until the news broke that they were buying some of the Tolkien licenses and had already been buying a whole bunch of game studios. Cut to a couple months later and Embracer can’t get rid off all these studios fast enough apparently bleeding money left and right.

Where did they suddenly come from? Or was I just out of the loop on them?

That’s the actual problem I think. Imo it’s fine for them to try to flirt with you, but almost all the non flirt options in those situations are kind of mean. There are also some options were I’m just not sure if I am being nice or starting down the relationship path.

Is this hug going to comfort them or is it already sexual? I don’t know. Which is all the more hard for me because I’m playing a kind old dwarfen paladin who just wants everyone to get along and be happy.

Somehow this really surprises me. I’m not sure if I have seen even a single promotional image (except for the cover image on the battle net launcher) but apparently that speaks more of my internet bubble than the games promotional campaign.

But still, Diablo 3 seemed like a much bigger deal. Can anyone speak about how the hype is compared to Diablo 3?
