Ohhh, lmao. Well, yeah, basically I have a crush on Tom Hardy right now and want him everywhere I turn...

Perfectly acceptable. I'm a straight guy and started a huge thread in an effort to get David Tennant into DA2.

There should be a male LI whose face is patterned after, and voiced by Kirk Acevedo. This dude;

Mmmmmm, Charlie! I'd def go for that romance.

Just for extra romance potential, you could push him and Bethany to get together.

Booooo! BOOOOOO! God, I hate LI-NPC romances.

I'd rather have her own Love Interest that isn't my LI. There was an old thread talking about the possibility of Bethany having a LI (assuming she doesn't immediately die/get kidnapped), and the rampant speculation thereof--I personally supported the idea that you were allowed to fall in love with Bethany's love interest a la Scarlett O'Hara and Ashley and that one chick with the brown hair that everything thought was just the sweetest most sugary thing. You could handle the unrequited love in a number of different ways--eventually fall in love with an actual LI, try and destroy your sister's relationship, watch sadly from the sidelines, etc.

If an NPC is fighting for my LI, I always get the sense that the only reason I successfully woo them is because I'm manipulative enough to know exactly what they want to hear, and can tailor my personality accordingly. Not because they actually love you--to me, I have to "try" and win the LI; the NPC doesn't. If I'm not the correct gender, than they end up with them anyway, and it just seems like this sort of mockery. Plus, it hearkens back to having to "fight" a girl over a guy. Why can't you make up your own damn mind, LI? You need to pick. If you don't care about either one of us enough to make a decision, then why would I want to be with you?

I don't know, it could be cute. I never played a game that had one but she could come to you for advice and if you were a terrible mean person you could give her awful advice like "hey sis, I think  you should go put some rashvine in his codpiece, guys love that". Sort of like how you can manipulate Cammen and Gheyna positively or negatively. As long as it was cute and not annoying it would be interesting.

Edit: in my head I was thinking of an inter-NPC relationship, not an LI-npc one. That, I probably wouldn't like so much. I don't know. If they were going to go that route I'd rather compete against someone who wasn't my sister.

Being near 35 myself 40 isn't much of a stretch!

For me, I like older men as they are (seemingly) more mature than younger men in games who are mostly all testosterone and trying to one up each other.  Ugh, I need my man not to be always trying to kill themselves.

Yes. 40 = no longer old. Though I appreciate (and like) that an older in-game LI could be this age, in RL for me now an 'older' LI would probably be barely mobile. Sigh <_<

Haha!  Oh that's funny.

Me: Time for battle dear! /dons armor
LI:  I need another minute in the hot tub, my back is still acting up after the last one.

I'm not sure if it's been said before, but I would like to romance a male Orlesian chevalier.

<snip>

Anyway, the chevalier might initially start off as a pompous, arrogant jerk who makes snide comments, questioning Lady Hawke's ability to lead (unlike Alistair, who was like a sad, lost little neutered pup that followed my female Warden around without question).
The chevalier would secretly be in love with Lady Hawke, but he wouldn't want anyone to know, so he would tease her and make her hate him at first. They would, eventually, have passionate, angry sex together after a shouting match ended with him grabbing her and kissing her (Lady Hawke could then decide to slap him or kiss him back).

...Yes, that would be nice *blushes*

Hm.  Actually that would be interesting.  I mean, my mother used to tell me if a boy teases you it's because he likes you.  And nothing better than angry sex I guess. 

I hope you're writing this down Mr. Gaider!

Back on topic, at least the second version of the same character is better received.

I did enjoy your second version.  I am sure you could ask someone of the modding area to look into making it giving you credit

I didn't mean it like Bethany falls in love with the LI and vice versa WHILE your romancing them, they are completely unattracted to each other in the start and if you want to do so you could go around and try to make them fall for each other because you believe Bethany / guy would be happy together.

Like a dialogue option that goes "So, what do you think about my sister?" for example that opens up an option to hook them up, then you'd be the matchmaker.

Still, wouldn't it be better to have an entirely unrelated LI for Bethany? Again, it feels shallow if this guy who's supposed to be your one true love hooks up with anyone you nudge him towards.

[the_one_54321]

Love triangle, yes please.

[SarEnyaDor]

Honestly, I don't get angry sex at all, I've done it and felt like crap afterwards... maybe it is because I'm older and stable now, but I can honestly say that all my relationships in which there was angry sex occurring were fundamentally flawed and bad for one (or both) of us on some (if not all) levels.



Maybe it is just my inner prude showing again, but to me angry sex is just a few steps away from sex being a power struggle rather than an expression of love.

You know what I hate?

"Oh, they're attractive males and females and look how much they despise each other, they must really be sexually attracted and are about to have glorious hatesex!"

...I really don't like when Morrigan/Alistair are shipped together.

Yeah, I guess. But I put it more as an option for male characters or females who wouldn't want to romance him.

I have to admit I thought it might happen when I started playing but only because it's such an overused trope. There's really nothing in the game to substantiate it.

LOL, Cullenmance.

Yeah, I hate when the Alistair and Morrigan secretly luuurve each other peeps get talking, I just shake my head and exit the thread before I get accused of being in denial and not being able to accept what's there *gags*

I've been peeping off and on in this thread, but I really enjoyed the DA:O romance with Alistair alot, so I'm not really feeling a need for something else right now to contribute ... but I couldn't keep my mouth shut about the angry sex. It's right up there with rape fantasies and chasing after the broken and emotionally distant loner as things I think shouldn't be glorified.

Fringe.  Nice FBI special agent Charlie Francis.  (or this might be a photo from something else).

I wouldn't mind a Peter Biship type (Joshua Jackson).  He's smart, had gambling debts, jack of all trades, 

[Thiefy]

It's so hard to keep up with the posts in this thread.



I think there should also be an LI like Brock Sampson from Venture Brothers. Just for the lulz.

I agree.  Might be my age, but I don't remember ever wanting to have sex after a real argument.   Husband and I have only had a couple in 20 years, but the last one, hubby left and drove around for 2 hours came back and slept in the other room.  Next day we talked it over, but there is no way I want to have sex with someone I'm that angry with, even if I do love them and know that tomorrow we will be fine.  

I'd rather see a teasing/friendly competition of hand to hand fighting or a sword practice turn into a close quarters romance option.  Like Garrus' 'I had strength she had flexibility" idea.

[Russalka]

I believe they're unlikely to repeat the romances of DA:O, and try to make all companions different from what we've already had.



Alistair was the all-around sweet virgin paladin with a temper showing when things weren't right.



Zevran was the jaded, slightly broken, but humorous and witty rogue.



What have we left now?
