It does make me a little sad there are no female elves to romance; because now elves are interesting to romance, in Thedas. One of my first characters will be an alienage female elf; so I guess I'll be a supporter of ELLL?

Of course, welcome sister!

It should be noted that in Dragon Age, elves have comparable lifespans to that of humans, due to the quickening.

I know that, but in many settings they don't. That said, it's sad really that we don't have comparable lore on elves yet as we do on dwarves (thanks to the official Wiki and the devs being so great about answering dwarf-questions on the old forums) because at the moment it's still hard for me to get a unique "feel" for the Thedas elves -- and the lack of unique racial customization options beyond some tattoos doesn't help.

There are several factors that weigh in as to why roleplaying a elven-human romance as a pro-elf elf isn't really viable. If you don't mind missing out one a part of the game that's gotten a fair bit of work put into it (romances overall) by going solo, well congrats to you.

No one's forcing you to "romance" anyone, much less a human. It's a choice you make whom your character would fall for and whom they would not. I just don't understand why this is such a big deal. Maybe it's just because I don't take "romance" seriously anyway, especially considering how this game is supposed to -- finally! -- offer proper platonic friendship paths as well.

Characters who obsess about playing house and spawning rugrats probably aren't really suitable for this storyline unless they adapt -- much like everyone has to adapt to the new life as a Grey Warden. (And if it's true that Wardens have a low fertility, spawning rugrats is unlikely anyway no matter who humps whom.)

Varenus my good sir, if you would have me you will have another militant and truefaced Alienage Elf by your side to stem the tide of our genocide! I swear to uphold the values of your creed and make sure to further your cause.

... in most games there's an least one if not several elven women screwing random men (who are usually not even elves) at the drop of a hat.

Oh?

Please point me in the direction of these games. They have, unfortunately, come 'round and flew in under my radar. An obvious tragedy.

For some reason, this made me laugh. Thanks.

Personally the biggest issue( for the player) I see with an elf having to romance a human is the drastic height difference.

Yes I'm shallow.

@ Saurel



I agree. I mean it doesnt bother me but height difference will be interesting.

Pff, you elves have it easy, we dwarves have only ridiculously tall and skinny people to romance.

I haven't seen it in lore yet, does anyone know if a dwarf and human romance:wub: ends in a dwarf, human or dwarf/human baby? Perhaps their plight is not so dire as the humans.

As long as I get to pry some bark from that Wolf shapechanger I saw in the live stream, i'll be happy.



She looked delectably asian.

I thought they said somewhere that you get a half-dwarf baby, but they are looked down upon in both Dwarven and Human culture...

Couldn't say it any better. Moreover, we Dwarves face extinction certainly more than the Elves, as aside from the low remaining portion of our population, we have to face the Darkspawns of the Deep Roads. Life as a Dwarf is difficult, I tell you!

[AffectedFiddle]

DLC with a wife/wives you can pick up similar to Overlord II to keep in your eventual DLC castle/Keep! Are we still eligible if we seek out a whole Harem of female Elves? One must undertake this important sacrifice after all!



It will be interesting to see if the game reacts to a Dwarf romancing any other race since they seem to view that thing as a mega "GTFO NO WAI!!!". Time shall tell!

[Ryllen Laerth Kriel]

While I would whole heartedly back the OP's cause, I fear our only elven romance option is Zevran. And even with breast implants I would rather sleep with a nug than Zevran.

The cheapest solution would be to mod Leliana or Morrigan as an elf instead of human. I'm not sure that's possible since I'm sure their facial models are custom content. Leliana's hair style does cover her ears though.

[Darke1]

I still think you just get Morrigan to shapeshift into an elf (why does it have to be a beastie) and your problem is solved.

Poor Varenus, probably had no idea who Lotion is or why people keep on calling him by that name.

I see my name is branded into Davids mind. Good, good. I shall haunt him in his nightmares to boot!

Poor Varanus. Ya see, I was among the first to ask for suple elven lasses so I can mimic Maric. Alas, that was not to be. But for some reason The Gaider rememeberth my name. Must be the sheer power of my presence.

"Dwarves have difficulty reproducing and many dwarves consider humans and elves lesser races. For this reason, they are also against interracial relations. Humans and dwarves can produce half-dwarves, but this is very rare."

They should make a change to the human noble origin where you have the option of showing up at the elf wedding. If you lose the fight against the bride/groom's posse, the game ends early. If you win, you're married to the elf bride/groom and whenever you run into her/him, s/he tries to kill you.

I think it's more to do with us wondering why anyone would name themselves after a cosmetic product used to soften skin and/or as lubrication.

Or at least that's why I remember you.

Modern Warfare paved the way. If Soap could be made cool, why not Lotion?

I'll drink to that. Can anyone think of any game, any game at all, where there was a dwarf romance option? Skinny little treehuggers complaining about getting left out of one game.  Still, I think there's potential for a unified Demihuman petition rather than strictly elven here.

Totally! My Elven Mage (my first and only character so far) is gay, since he's me in a fantasy setting, and so has fun with Zevran, but uh... add some Thundercats and I'm SOOoOOOooo all up in there. (I forget the racial name of my avatar from NWN, it pops into my head then slinks back into the shadows to drive me mad.)

Ahem... and applause for the subtle joke we're all thinking.
