Dating. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I feel like role-playing should affect relationships with NPCs as well.
BG3 (especially with the latest patch) and now also Cyberpunk 2077 added long-requested features to be able to hang out with your partner and spend time together. It's been a long road since PoE 1 stance on no romances to this. Especially with good visuals, games now can do that, they can provide a feeling you have friends, and more. Some players want meaningful conversations and activities, and meaningful resolutions to these relationships. I'm one of them. I agree with Paul Tassi from Forbes:
"Dating – This is what I think longtime players will like the most, the ability to just chill and hang out with your partner in a non-mission setting once you follow their romance path. In this instance, I was playing on my male V who had recently romanced Panam. You get a message from her that she wants to hang out, and you can invite her over to any apartment you own in the city.
Once there, you can chat about various mission related things including updating her on Dogtown (I think you could do this before), but different apartments have different hangout things you can do. There didn’t seem to be much in Japantown, but in my Glen apartment, we cuddled on the couch with what I thought were some new lines in there, and recreated the “hair petting” from the 2.1 trailer.
But the highlight was going to the “dance floor” in the apartment where Rosa Walton’s “I Really Want to Stay at Your House” blasted, the song having a special meaning to Cyberpunk Edgerunners viewers. You start slow, but Panam started hopping when the beat drops in the song. I swear to god I almost choked up from the whole experience.
To end the night you can go to sleep where you partner will show up in their underwear and be there the next morning for a kiss. To answer your next question, no, no new sex scenes from what I can tell, unless there’s some sort of secret trigger to unlock them. Given the context of the multiple environments and the scripting that goes into a scene like that, I wouldn’t hold your breath. So really, this is PG-rated affection which may not be what some are looking for, but it’s all really…sweet."

I'm having a big smile just reading this. It's exactly the feature I missed when played CP2077 on its release. I hope more RPGs will add role-playing to relationships with NPCs.

I hear Night City is calling me. And the call is strong.
