Why does this have to be brought up ALL THE TIME? Seriously, this isnt Fable II or III and in all honesty, that's where "having babies" needs to stay IMO. That would actually be a deal breaker with me at this point if ME3 or DA2 allowed you to have kids.  I dont have and/or want kids IRL....Why in the nine hells would I want them in a game? lol

Ever thought that OTHERS might like adding depth and drama to the storyline with the option of offspring? And why must Fable be thrown everywhere? Those who do suggest this kind of thing have faith that Bioware could pull it off quite well.

Far simpler just to make Hawke having a family be an option at the end of the game for the epilogue. If Hawke's LI is human, anyhow.

I don't think anyone is arguing that it be mandatory. They're just saying it would be an interesting option that could have fun consequences in the story. Clearly it's not for everyone, but that's how options work.

As long as it's an "option" sure I suppose. But again, like Fable, a form of "contraceptive" would need to be available for me to be ok with it. Otherwise, it would most likely have me being "single" through the entirety of the game.

nah, but just put an enchantment on it and you'll be fine:devil:

Enchantment won't prevent babies. You'll just have retarded children such as Sandal.

fable is a really bad example of how a romance and becoming a parent can be implemented in a videogame, even old rpgs used it better even though they were part of the story like in lufia2 and others.

Honestly, it's not a fear of bad implementation that turns me off to the whole idea.  As I said, it's the thought of having children as a whole.  Dont want'em IRL much less in a video game.  But as long as the "option" to not have a child was on the table and DIDNT interfere with relationships as a whole in the game then it MIGHT not be so bad.  Seriously, Im the type of person that if this were in game, and no obvious indicator was present to warn me that my LI became pregnant and all of a sudden BAM out pops a child, I would seriously delete my data and start over from scratch....Either that or just sacrafice the child to the dark spawn as a snack, whichever one I had the option to do first

how about if the pregnancy starts with a dialogue choice? making it your decision wether you have a child or not on the next time skip.

That would actually be acceptable IMO.  All I can see now though is the dialog choices of "Tuck" and "Pull" being options

This makes the most sense.  No point in diverting resources to creating a family that we would have very little interaction with.

i'd like to see a DA2 developer's viewpoint on this issue. just to know what they think of it.

Pardon?

Anyway, I don't really understand why there is such a negative reaction to any suggestions. Some might find an idea good, some might dislike it. Just because one doesn't agree with a suggestion, doesn't make it stupid.

Personally, I don't like epilogues. For one thing, they're buggy. For another, they seem like a graveyard of canned ideas and rather restrictive of what's going to happen next. It is better to leave an idea and an ending into the air.

I am starting to see that pregnancy or possibility of having a child, in-game, is unlikely to happen. But I still find it quite an interesting idea for adding into the game. Yes, preferably it should happen under very certain restrictions. Perhaps some dialogue options or a certain companion or NPC, beyond just wanting to have a romance scene and saying "Let's have a baby!"

Bioware hasn't delivered THAT awful plotlines as of yet, some of which might be comparable to Fable. If they are going to pull off the option of having offspring, I am sure they will make it very compelling and reasonable. Like I have said before.

Most males over an age play games because they are irresponsible. A game that makes me responsible is not really something... pleasant. It all depends on how the system is implemented(if it is)

[Russalka]

Saving the world is not a responsibility?

Anyway you wont have a Child in Game if your Hawke Does'nt Have sex.

I already gave my opinion...
Families in games are such a burden...they get kidnapped or killed, among other things. But yeah, I agree, it would add some depth, maybe I'll like it, maybe not (if it's implemented).
It's quite unlikely, but it could happen. I trust in Bioware.

I understand the possibilities of raising a family in a tabletop, pen and paper roleplaying game like D&D or Pathfinder amongst mature players.  Why, though, would you want your Lady Hawke barfing all over with morning sickness, peeing on herself when she gets hit too hard because of the increased downward pressure on her bladder, and leaking milk on her leathers/robe/plate in a video game?
