this is my opinion, a personal point of view.
I have noticed that in-game romance usually ends badly. I asked myself this simple question;
if i would be V, would i fall in love despite the job i do? No.
V is a mercenary, in this kind of life there is not much chance to love in the noblest way.
personally, in my life very complicated, despite a man in my life, a dark past, my free sexuality; No way on of living as a typical model couple; USA the 1950s, the whole family around the table.
To love is suffer, i don't have the courage for that. i play like i am.
