Forum:Beloveds

I'm thinking about buying this game. I was reading about beloveds and the whole points thing, and I was just woundering do they actuly serve any pupouse at all? Like if you end up with one person as opossed to anogther does it make your epilog ending  different at all?Does the person become your spouse or are they just a lover you shack with who live with you, and can your character bed them at all? Any explainations would be much appriciated. Thanks.
