Ooh, I love that. I wrote something for my Dwarf Noble too, and that feels like it compliments it really well. Not sure I can link it though since I submitted it to deviantart, not fanfiction.net.


Thanks! And I don't see why not, we link stuff from dA all the time.  Use the standard reply form, highlight the text you want to hyperlink, and click the hyperlink button...it looks like a glove with an infinity sign (or a chain link) in front of it.  Then you just paste your link in the box that pops up, and your text is hyperlinked!


It wouldn't really be appropriate for the thread though. Or... well, maybe it would?
Bah, I'll link it for your benefit anyways :P - kinda long though.


@Maria13 - he really would xD
ah. what a cute thought~

On yet another note, kind of related to this thread, does anyone know why my posts in some threads - including this one - do NOT show up in my Recent Activity? It's not filter related that I can see because all of the filters are checked to show stuff.

I have begun having the same problem recently.  It seems the more active I've become in the forums, the less threads show up on my "home" page.

I think it has to do with the fact that you have to have a game registered to see or post on the Gameplay/Quests Spoilers subforums. 

I don't think that's the issue since as you can see under our Avatars, both Elessara and I have registered our games (indicated by the game icons).  


Maybe because your feed is viewable by people that haven't registered the game, it's not listed. That way no one is clicking on dead links to see what sorts of replies or threads you're creating if they can't see it anyways.

Yes I'm definitely registered for both DAO and DAA. It doesn't even happen on all threads just some.

I'm not really very active though. I'm most active in this thread and the Kaidan thread (though I haven't posted there recently) with a few comments in random threads here and there.

@Skadi ... oh I know I won't have any trouble avoiding it. I've played the game many times..

No, no ignore Leliana and Zevran *waves hand* they are not the romances you are looking for.


Tis true. The game really wants to make sure you have a lot of chances to start his romance as opposed to the other ones, where you only have a chance or two. Annoying, to say the least.

I dunno, if I talk to Leliana at all, her romance is insta-on.  Morrigan is very easy to start, too.  I think if you're the least bit flirtatious with any of the LIs, it's a no-brainer.

I explained above- there are subforums that can't be seen by someone who isn't logged in. Posts in those subforums don't get sent to anyone's profile feed.

One person's 'annoying' is another person's 'endearing.'  I've never found Alistair's romance starters annoying at all.  The only LI in the game that I've found really annoying is Leliana.  But I think that's due to a bug.  I also get the romance turned on almost instantly and repeatedly, even after telling her no.  She's even asked my character about Alistair's performance, and then turned around with "You and Alistair?  How could you?" or words to that effect.  I generally sell her gifts now when I found them because giving them to her so often gets misinterpreted.

Well, with Leli you have the hair convo, in which you can tell her you only view her as a friend. After that you only have one more chance to restart the romance after the Marjolaine confrontation.

With Zevran you have about two or three lines if I recall. I don't know much about Morrigan since I've never had a chance to romance her (only play female PCs).

On the other hand, Alistair has so many romance starters that on any convo with him you could close your eyes, pick a line, and there's a decent chance the romance will start. Sure, they're easy to avoid and I'm not going to deny that as I've never been ninja romanced by him, but he does have much more romance starting options than all the other LIs.

I think they meant it's annoying that Alistair has so MANY triggers and the other LI's do not.

@Surely ... ok maybe I'm not understanding which could be true. My brain isn't working very well right now - I hate being sick.

Anyway - do the ME2 quests/storyline/spoilers forums work the same way? I posted in a thread there a few days ago the same day I posted in this thread and that one showed up on my Recent Activity and the post I made here did not.

I'm always logged in when I come here though. Sorry if I'm being dense.



@Anni ... hah funny comic.



@Zjarcal ... I know what you mean. There are so FEW starters for other romances. What about Morrigan? I don't usually play male chars unless forced (i.e. The Witcher) - personal preference. Does she have many romance starters?



@Addai ... really? I always tell her she's a true friend, etc. and she never goes beyond warm/friendly. I have gotten the kind of heartbroken "I heard about you and Alistair" if I make my char queen but the approval bar always stayed Friendly and never switched to Love.

Ok, let me clarify. It's not Alistair's romance lines that I find annoying. It's the lack of more romance starting lines for the other LIs that I find annoying.

Alistair's lines aren't annoying in the slightest, I like them actually. I just wish the other LIs were also treated like that.

I've gotta have a Leliana bug then.  She keeps ninja-romancing me even though I haven't chosen any of the romance-starting dialogs.  She's done it with so many characters, I really do sell her gifts now because she'll start a romance without them.  I hate to not talk to her at all, because she's interesting.  But I don't like having to repeatedly break up with her.

Actually, I haven't talked that much to her since the last patch.  Maybe she's fixed now.

Odd. Even before the patches I never had this problem with Leliana. Didn't have any jealous/breakup speeches or anything like that. Except after the Landsmeet and I made that character queen and she's like *sad face* I heard about you and Alistair .... etc. And I'm like well, isn't that special.

If you're on a PC, then Qwyn has an excellent mod that fixes an awful lot of glitches.

I believe Dialogue Tweaks and ejoslin's mod also fix those "ninja romance" issues.



Since I always romance Leli I couldn't tell if I have also been ninja romanced or not.



Buy again, my original point wasn't a diss on Alistair's romance, it was the unbalance in romance starting lines for one LI when compared to the others.

As for Alistair romance. Yes, he is easy to romance. Kind of sucks that they put so much work into him and the Morrigan romance while Zev and Leliana got the short end of the stick

Oh god...Leliana.  I had to be mean to her just to make sure I keep her at friendly.  My first playthrough and romancing Alistair, she romanced ninja'd me during the Marjolaine conversation.  And I was only trying to be a compassionate friend.  My next playthrough I told her to "go help Alistair cook" only because it's the most obvious disinterested response.

Aww --is that how the "you" in the Gauntlet appear on the PC? Or is that a mod? On the PS3, you just see an empty space with a name label and the "enemy" circle around where its feet would be.

I think she is looking at the glitches, too.

And count me among those ninja'd by Leli, it happens to me almost every game.

I liked the way Zev's romance was handled.  I do use ejoslin's mod for him.  My game seems to be buggy for the female LIs because Morrigan's romance is screwed up for me too.  It's a good thing I'm mostly interested in the guys, although I kinda thought my CE rogue would be suited for Leliana.

Only as a male.

Zev and Lels do get the short end of the stick, a bit. I can see the logic being that both Morri and Alistair are the most plot centric LIs, but I wish all romances were treated equally. Well, at least when it comes to romance starting lines. The actual romances are just as good.
