I've been thinking about this for a couple of days now, after starting to get involved in Dragon Age again. Assuming that the list of 9 companions is all, of which 1 is a golem (Shale) and 1 is a dog (Dog), why isn't there a single comely elven lass amongst them?

This basicly excludes all elves, especially the Dalish, who happen to be racially and morally concious. As some of you may know, the spawn of any unholy elven-human crossbreeding always results in a human calf. With declining birthrates, the quickening, and the wanton oppression from human rapelords, no elf in good conscience would, or should, choose to select a human concubine.

At least the female elves will have Zevran, even if he appears to be a pathetic wretch of an alienage elf. But for poor Silveric Mahariel, Scout of the True Elves, there is no love.



Edit: I felt the whole time that my topic was touching a bit close to a spoiler. Fixed now.

There is still dog....... sorry.

Wait for mods, or maybe DLCs why not.

The writers just didn't feel like writing again an elven romance for male (think of it, you had Viconia, Elanee (Obsidian) etc... Only fair we girls got our turn XD
But I completely agree with you on the problem of romancing other races when you're an elf... if you want children anyway.

Yes, they already made a lot and didn't feel like doing again

So instead of a variety of romances, they opt for not one, but two human romances? And it occurred to me that dwarves are in a somewhat similar situation, although I'm not sure about the dwarven racial or cultural implications of such a union.

It's sad that the logic behind it is "We had elves in a previous game" (Baldur's Gate 2, 2000? Has there been any Bioware game with a romancable elf since then?) instead of focusing on what would be good and proper for this game. I don't really care too much about romances, but if you include it as an option in a game (which is far from a necessity) I'd expect it to be done properly. Especially when in a setting where elven culture is radically different compared to previously visited settings - it's not like it's a matter of carbon-copying Aerie, Viconia, or Jaheira. I feel like Silveric is getting punished because of someone else's previous infatuation with elves and the subsequent saturation of said romances.

Now I don't want to look like a tool or build up hope. But this is in the FAQ on the website..



8.01

How many NPCs are there to choose from? We know Morrigan the mage and Wynne the spirit healer. What about the rest of them folks? (Back to top)

Sorry, we're not going to spoil the game for you and reveal exactly how many or who you can recruit to be members of your party. Different parties will have different dynamics and may or may not attract all of the potential followers. We have revealed some of these potential party members, such as Alistair the Grey Warden, in the Characters section of the World page. Stay tuned for future updates .



Now bare in mind that they have the Characters page, if I were a conspiracy theorist, this would seem to imply that there are more characters to choose from than what's on that page. If however this has been verified elsewhere, then feel free to chastise me and call me a nincompoop.

I'm sure Morrigan can shapeshift into and Elf for you...

Varenus, Varenus, there there.... Silveric isn't real. You don't have to concern yourself with his lack of cyber booty.

There are more joinable characters, but not permanent companions, as stated buy the many reviews so far (this does not include DLC's, example Shale). 

Since I feel nice today, I'll spare you the chastise thingy and the calling you a nincompoop.

My pleasure.

BTW, don't forget that besides the DLCs there will certainly be one or 2 huge extensions... that means new companions and hopefully new romances (Mask Of The Betrayer anyone?)

But by then the adventures of Silveric will be long over.



The Elven Lass Liberation League will not forgive this transgression. No cooperation without representation!

Acceptable. Better half an elf than not an elf at all.

[DalishRanger]

I do sympathize and wish there was a female elf option for those of us playing male elves. It's not a huge deal to me though, and I don't mind romancing a human in the game. Nonetheless, this elven traitor wishes you well in your venture. :happy:

You're a disgrace to all that call themselves Dalish! <_<

[Nivraym]

Male human semi-paladins is all I have to say.

It's your turn now.

[Mesecina]

Well...

[spoiler]

according to cc files... since no one knows exactly who or what Flemeth is and there hasn't been any mention of Morrigan's father so far I'd be careful calling her entirely human. Not that it helps much in your case I guess

[/end of spoiler]

and there's nothing stopping your male elf from showing Zevran some love (at least that's what the rumour has it)

Immoral to the extremes. I'd rather sleed with an orcette!

I figured your response would be such. Even with your scorn, I wish you luck.

As for the Zevran comment... You do know homosexuality isn't considered immoral in Ferelden, right? Just odd. However, I imagine that still wouldn't help the whole producing offspring thing...

Don't forget about the female elves in brothels. As for the homosexual option, I hope it's Alistair not Zevran.

[DalishRanger]

That's true! Though I'm guessing he's opting for something a little deeper than one-night stands?

[Fenn_]

It still works for reproduction.
