lol, how the heck would romancing someone impact an entire world !?

Well at least someone agrees with me

That wasn't really the point of my reply. I meant it's stupid to ask such a thing, why would it need to affect anything in the world? Stuff like romance and most of the side quests just affect certain characters. Not everything needs affect the world.

The romance is part of the character development. It's a personal side story about the character, much like Planescape: Torment's whole main story was

One look at the old Tali threads and you'll see those stereotypes are true

The only guy I know who plays BW games play them for romances.

(and he has a GF and a rising career as a chef, just to avoid the usual comments)

It's ridiculous to say no one ever fell true to a stereotype.

Regardless, there are plenty of happily married/in a relationship Alistair fans.

Pfft, I'm a teenager who like romance dramas.

Top that!

(Also, I'm also a good cook)

They'd totally leave their husbands for Alistair if the chance appeared.

"The world gets lonely too quickly if there's no one to share it with."

We're telling our character's story through playing the game, and, for me at least, romance is one of the many ingredients that goes into making an epic story.

How would the Zevran or leliena romance change The overall story of DAO?

Sure, Leliana and Zevran may not be plot integral characters, but a romance changes my warden's personal story dramatically, and that's the story I'm telling by playing the game. DAO is at it's heart a rpg game, no?

If I'm roleplaying a warden romancing Leliana and bring her along with me on various quests her comments and reactions may influence my decisions, and those decisions then influence the overall world I've created with that particular warden.

I'm more of a game mechanics person, so I barely bother talking to my party members unless it unlocks a side quest or something. (or, like Shale, they make me chuckle) Lots and lots and lots of Bioware's fans love the romances though, and they are relatively cheap resource wise. So there really isn't any reason NOT to have them in the game.

One of the devs said that the games are about THEDAS!!! not Hawke the warden or anyone else so how would a romance change Thedas!

...Well your lover could get kidnapped and you fight a 10 year old war that at the end makes the country Stronger.

Oh for the sake of Cookies and Puppies everywhere people!



A romance does not really affect the MAIN ARC.

It affects the PC's arc, and adds depth and attachment to a game.



They are put into RPG to let them seem more alive and allow people to have a more immersive time in game. Saying what the point of Romances is liking asking whats the point of Sidequests.



Its there to add depth and immersion to a game. If you cant see the point to doing it, than dont.

Does anyone agree with Blasto the jelly anyone?

What's the point of anything?  The Maker doesn't exist.

[errant_knight]

I worry for people who don't understand the point of romance. They really need to get out more. Talk to a few people. Maybe have an emotion or two....

Yes, the main quest IS about Thedas

Romance is just an optional sidequest and just like most sidequests in DAO, it only affects certain characters and doesn't have some major impact on the world.

That's so silly - people love romance in movies, books, tv shows, music, art, why should gaming be any different?

I think TC is taking things a little too literally. Or maybe we're feedin' teh trollz.

This was a real fear of mine.

I said they dont right above dude.

They DONT! DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT DONT! Afect the main arc.

There I said it many times for you, unless you missed it.



They make the game more immersive thats it.



Also they make it better I feel zero attachement to a Bethesda world and feel much more connected to Bioware ones.

Again one of the devs said that the Dragon age games are about thedas not anything else how would giving a the chantry 20 corpse skins i forgot what there called affect Thedas c'mon

Because a game that focuses on Thedas as a whole would probably have "Sid Meier's" at the beginning of it. Rather it focuses on specific people and events within Thedas. And to the individual romance is important.
