Star Crossed Lovers

Side quest centered around branching dialogue with different endings

Written for an open world RPG named New Dawn (in development), inspired by worlds like Fallout New Vegas

Set in and around Greater Boston, New Dawn takes places approximately 200 years after an apocalyptic event that ended the old world. The region is now defined by fractured post-war communities, emergent factions, mutated environments, and the remnants of pre-war corporate and government infrastructure. 

One of the main communities in the area is Brentwood, a highly prosperous and advanced settlement built around a massive factory complex on the banks of the Charles River. Governed entirely by OVRS, a benevolent sentient AI supercomputer, it has complete authority and an almost obsessive focus on citizen welfare. It is near omniscient within its borders.

In this sidequest, OVRS tells you that it notices a declining birth rate within Brentwood, so it tasks you to convince two early adults that it has identified as a potential match to procreate. OVRS tells you to set them up on a date, so you must go to each person and try to convince them to go on the date with each other. Dialogue options do matter and can affect the outcome of the quest and greater story!
