Iowa food basically *is* German food. Schnitzel? I feel like what I consider normal every day iowa food is not just Iowan, but the vestiges of European settlers and their food traditions. Of course no one would ever say, do you wanna get some German or Scandinavian food, because it IS the food we eat all the time, more or less. It is the given, the standard.

Iowa's famous breaded pork tenderloins? German schnitzel. Literally.

Potatoes, casseroles, sausage, deer salami... more or less German.

Also Scandinavian food culture is still present. Meat and potatoes. River fish, especially on Fridays during lent.

I feel like what I've always just considered "normal iowa food" is basically german/Scandinavian food.

Go to any small town bar that serves food, and you'll find what is basically German influenced food. Frittered shit. Onions and pork and potatoes and cheese.

Who the fuck decided, hey, these four people are going to be great romantic companions for players!

3 out of 4 of them are basically no-gos for me. Sarah Morgan is an icy twat who hates everything, Sam Coe is a dumbass who has options that would make his annoying kid safer but insists that she come along for deadly ship battles with your character, and like a 60 year old dude who is so hung up on his ex that he has no problem asking you for thousands of credits to clear the name of a dead man. Of all the characters they could have come up with, we are supposed to be excited about these people???

Andreja, of course, is cautious, practical, and awesome. So at least there is one option that isn't detestable. But if I do multiple playthroughs/unity passing, I basically have one person my character will ever get together with.

That sucks. Why did they make 75% of the romance options annoying and unattractive?

I do like the more involved relationships with companions, but this seems like a major fumble for Starfield.
