Lance Hendrikson could sooooo do Varric's voice acting. That would just be awesome.

Well a lot of people were disappointed he wasn't back for ME2 so he could be in ME3, and it would make sense for BioWare to adopt a 'while you're here' attitude.

[uuuhcantthinkofaname]

If we're suggestiong voice actors i'd go for Michael Fassbender from 300, Inglorious Basterds and Centurion.

I asked him about that. He said he wasn't sure if he'd be back, but he liked the character and wouldn't mind doing it again *or something like that*.


**I still want Ron Perlman for voice acting, heh heh.

He liked being a disembodied mission bot?

/if he comes back, I'd actually like to meet him in the actual game

^ lol, I think he just likes making us do stuff. *Besides, not the first time he'd be a disembodied voice. I think ...*



But I agree, meeting an actual character would be nice.

Since the DA:O boys both had senses of humor (a trait I love) and were generally light-hearted, I'd like something different in DA2.

1) A very introverted, stoic warrior with a dash of angst. He's the silent type who sets himself apart from the group, but when he offers his advice it's always insightful, and when the PC gets to know him you uncover a very soft and squishy inside. AKA Nathaniel Howe from DA:A, really.

2) A self-serving, cocky, brash ****hole.  NOT Morrigan with a peen.  Think Eric from True Blood.  The PC can work her/his way under his skin over the course of the romance, and he'll become extremely protective as a sign of his affection, probably never saying his feelings in words.

Physically, I want brunettes/dark hair since DA:O was blonde overload. 
Also, any race but a dwarf (for these particular character types, I mean).

[Edited to add:]

3) Garrus Vakarian. That is all.

Haha.  Agreed on Garrus, but if you take Garrus with you on missions, he does in fact have a pretty win sense of humor.  He's also one of the few characters who gives Shepard sass.  I loved it.  And him 

I agree that I'd like to see different styles of characters, but generally, angst is not something that sits well with me in video games.  I'd like to point out that angst and character issues can be distinct.  Maybe it's because I've played too many BioWare games, but in 99.9% of cases, whatever issues the main character's got going on are far far worse than anything any NPC can angst about.  For example, in Baldur's Gate 2:

PC: I've been kidnapped, tortured, set upon by shadowy assassins, seen my foster father murdered, traumatized by my own brother, and dumped in some random-ass city filled with thieves and evil wizards.  I've just found out I'm the hellspawn of an evil dead god.  Oh, my creepy not-sister and I just got our souls sucked out through a soda straw, and I've turned into some freaky hellbeast due to TEH EVILZ.

Anomen: WAH DADDY ISSUES

Aerie: WAH MY WINGS

Viconia: WAH MY GENERAL B*TCHINESS

Jaheira: WAH MY HUSBAND

PC: ...I hate you all.

Or for a more recent example, in ME2:

Shep: So I've been killed, fought over as a DEAD BODY, returned to life by a terrorist organization, and kicked out the door on my merry way.  And brain-raped by Prothean beacons.  And potentially grew up in a gang, watched everyone around me get killed, KILLED EVERYONE AROUND ME, etc.  WHOA.

Thane: So about my dead wife and estranged son issues--

Miranda, Jacob, Samara, Tali: And our family issues!

Garrus, Zaeed, Jack: OUR REVENGE ISSUES TOO!

Shep: I KEEEL YOU ALL DEAD.  NAO.

...you get my point.  I feel BioWare's gotten better about this in recent games, managing character development with limited wangst, but angst just sets off fifteen red flags for me.  I approach RPGs from both the perspective of the PC and my perspective as her limited storyteller, and sometimes even though the PC might sympathize with angst, I usually find it difficult.

[JessOrochi]

Well I actually like Anomen's romance in BG2...



I'd like to see more Calibast (he was the azer companion in the NWN Kingmaker mod). That might be because I have this fancy of dwarfs though.

I just hope they don't repeat anything or perhaps make too similar characters. Certainly, traits are bound to over lap with BioWare's long history of romanceable characters but, I'm hoping for a different experience from the other games.

[Myxyplyxxx]

After giving the issue more thought I decided I would like one of the LIs for Lady Hawke to be a templar. Too bad if Aveline's husband dies. It would have been fun if it was the other way around. Or maybe not, if he would be unconsolabe.   What I think would be fun about a templar is to be able to shake his view of the world and primarly about  the Chantry. Or share the same views and go together on some holy mission. The templar's abilities were also very nice in DA:O, so he could be an useful companion.

[SnakeStrike8]

We need a drunken man as an LI. Not Oghren type drunk, but more in the flavor of StarCraft's Jim Raynor. Someone who can't get over one (or two) issues in his past, and uses whiskey to forget it. There's something special, I think, about the moment when that particular character sits back and reveals all. Even more special is the moment when you get to set it right for the guy in question.

I'm a sucker for happy endings!

[mllrthyme]

Okay, I think I've come up with a recipe for would could be the perfect man based on ingredients that bioware has already provided.



1 part Alistair charm and goofy humor

1 part Zevran smexiness

2 parts Kaidan stoic maturity

Add liberal amounts of Mordin intelligence

Sprinkle varying amounts of Nerd for flavoring

Let simmer for 25-35 years until ready - careful, dish will be hawt

I've said it before, and I shall say it again. Someone like this gentleman:

[mllrthyme]

^ What? Did Alistair shave his head, or could it be...a Sir Otto mod???

It's an Alistair head morph! I chucked Ser Otto's face into my magical override folder and VOILA, SER OTTO ROMANCE MOD. 

[mllrthyme]

So it IS Ali with his head shaved, sort of, and cool-yet-creepy eyes. Props to you, Calla.

Also, on a side note, your avatar's picture is, well, very sexy - in an intimate, romantic kind of way. Where's THAT scene in my game??? I think I'm jealous of your creative and modding abilities.

[Calla S]

Indeed it is! I just like to close my ears and pretend it's Otto's silky voice coming out of his mouth and not Al's (despite my strong love for him).



Aww, thank you! It's actually from Morrigan's love scene, and it's included in the Improved Romance Scenes and Fixes for Alistair. I still think someone like Otto would make an amazing LI. He was a true catch - kind, modest, gentle, thoughtful. Smexy Templar armor. So dreamy.

Nope.  He does have a fanbase (which I am part of, as well).

I still stand by a bad boy character. Zevran wasn't a bad boy, he was sweet inside.

So you want to romance a guy who has no redeeming qualities?

Geeky male mage.

But most of my favorite guys tend to just be plain GOOD.  Good in an inexplicably sincere, almost incorruptible sort of way.  Alistair is the prime example, but Nathaniel and Garrus too--they have this weirdly dogged goodness to them, even when they mess up and things don't go their way.  Hell, you kill Nathaniel's father and he still can't bring himself to kill you in cold blood. 

And I thought it was cool how you could wind up becoming good friends with him, too.

Sweetness is not the only redeeming quality.
