    Nighthawks Exposed #7 - Trust and Romance

    So, onto the second-most commonly asked question about Nighthawks, not including variants of "Can I bang Madame Lux?" (Answer: Wait and see). Specifically, if there'll be other romances and sexytimes, and how that will work with a protagonist of no stated sex/gender/identity in general. Time to address that one.

    In Short...

    Yes, and hopefully in an interesting way!

    The Longer Version...

    Yes, there will be romances, and there will absolutely be twisted sexytimes. However, it's not quite the set-up of a lot of RPGs, where you just partner off your PC with whoever takes your fancy. Nighthawks is a game about broken people, fiercely individualistic, who aren't used to letting anyone get emotionally close to them. As such, for 'romances', primarily think 'gaining trust'. It's more about breaking down the barriers. Being the person someone can rely on, and share secrets with. Someone who a person who refuses to ask for help can turn to in their time of greatest need, even when it might be shameful or show weakness.

    In some cases, that leads to sexytime fun. In others, that's simply not what the character is looking for, and your relationship will head down a different path. Everyone in Nighthawks has their own story, and none of them consider themselves a mere bit-player in yours.

    Companions and NPCs

    When it comes to specific sexualities, things are somewhat divided. Characters who might be interested in your character will be basically player-sexual and you can decide for yourself where they fit on whatever spectrum you like, be it completely open to any experience, or purely interested in your character, based on your approaches. This is the only real way to still allow the breadth of role-play that we want to offer.

    Having said that, your decisions, your character build and so on will play a big part in which Companions might be up for a little 'extra companionship'. Non-Companion NPCs will also be more defined in these regards. We don't want to simply brush over the issues here, or the interesting stories that can come from them. Hopefully in any case, focusing on trust and getting close to characters will encourage you to get invested in their stories in general, rather than just seeing who you can get into bed before the credits roll.

    But if not, don't worry. We're going to have some fun with that too!
