The whole courting system in BL is just broken: You declare your admiration for a lady (not sure if it's the same for female PCs), then she starts asking you questions, and if you reply positively to all three, you can move to the next round of questions, and if everything's fine the second time, you can go and speak to the lady's parent, pay the dowry and get married. Your success depends on your charisma skill, even though the replies aren't all charisma based. The numbers, traits, and icons feel random (reply shows 100% success chance, yet I still fail? Wut?), and if you reply "inefficiently" to so much as one question in round 1, it's over, and there's no way to re-roll. The dialogue option is there, but the lady always refuses, because Calradian ladies are all perfectionists, it seems. I mean, if it's over, why even give us the option to ask for a second chance? Or is that locked behind a relevant perk?
Why did the courtship system from Warband need changing? I mean, sure, you couldn't get even 50 relationship points with your prospective spouse by just reciting poetry and dedicating tourney victories to them, but it was still much more functional than this BS.
And yes, I'm well aware that you can "buy" your spouse from their parent regardless of the spouse's consent, and while it's realistic for a medieval\ traditionalist society, I still have to wonder: Where's the love at? Why are our options a horrible dice-based mini-game or a purchase? Was this supposed to be some kind of social commentary?
Please rework the courtship system.
