Hey, to answer your questions:
1. No, no romances or marriage exists in this game.
2. If you’re talking about companions in the WoW sense as little mini-collectibles, then yes, they exist, but only if you buy them with gems (A separate currency either obtained through real money, or trading in-game gold with the transfer system in the Trading Post) There are also special mini’s that can be obtained through different means, usually by completing meta achievements during the current Living Story events. Some can also be made in the Mystic Forge by putting a few special ones (from Living Story together to make a different one only obtainable through that)
3. No mounts exist within the game, instead they’re replaced with Waypoints that will warp you wherever you need to go (for a small fee of course, and only after discovering them) I think the gem store has a ride-able broom, but it doesn’t affect your speed, it’s merely for show.
The reason this may not have been answered is either this forum is rarely looked at; they’d think you’d take the time to quickly check on it; or they didn’t find it worth answering.
Regardless, I figured I’d help and reply to your thread. Hope you enjoy your adventures in Tyria friend!
