[What is this]

Aveline isn't a looker,But at least i don't have to worry about catching anything.
Although Aveline has a dead husband which is a majior turn off as well
BUT...Isabella also has atleast one dead husband, as well.



I might just have Hawke keep to himself....:innocent:

Neither. Both human? BOOOOOOOOORING.

You must live a very unsatisfying life.

he is right however from roleplay perspective even if you mock him, get us dwarves and elves or even a qunari

I apologize for not pandering sufficiently to your jaded sensitivities by offering up exotic, titillating non-human porn. Clearly any good roleplayer understands that having horns or pointed ears makes the romance extra special. My mistake.

To be totally fair, if I was dating a girl with horns it would make it pretty memorable no matter what happened.

That certainly would add a whole new dimension to the "roleplay perspective" thing.

You are not fogiven this easily, first write 100 times "I am a devious developer who trolled people for not agreeing with my opinion about RPG romance preferences, also, dwarves are awesome."

Take it to fanfic, spanky.

He could have very easily (sort of aided by his appearance) been a human and carried that same cultural perspective. I find this a problem with racial usage in a lot of fantasy/sci fi, the assumption that within that context you need to be different to be different. If you see what I mean.

Indeed. Cultural conflict is only limited to other races in Star Trek.

And people who need a romantic interest to be non-human in order to have their boat sufficiently floated disturb me on the same level as furries. Some of you might want to have that looked at.

Hey sport, you missed the point that I just agreed with someone else's post, or you are just angry that people don't like your ingame preferences or the opinion of that.

Also, RPG-s are played mostly to avoid real life, real problems, real (and most of the time annoying) "love interests", talking about RL preference ("humans only quasi-racist attitude") in them are thus illogical

I was joking, and I assumed you were as well.

Or hoped. Hoped you were joking. People can be weird.

Hmmm...

whom did Maric love and sleep with in Stolen Throne?

she must have been human...

I don't think the writer of that novel would ever sink to a human / non-human relationship.



EDIT - Corrected from my previous misremembering as I caught the error myself.

I have nothing against romances with non-humans. I mean-- duh? I write them often enough. What I find baffling is the insistence of some that a character has to be non-human in order to be interesting or romanceable.

criticize others when you actually make Mass Effect the way that there are more than just 1 culture per race and have cultural conflicts show up that do not equal racial conflictsm right now ME-s universe is no way superior to that of Star Trek

That's nice. I didn't make Mass Effect anything-- and I never claimed it was superior to Star Trek. I was talking about Dragon Age and the fact that humans have a variety of cultures, unlike in Star Trek where they are homogoneous (as are all races).

also. as you said horns/tail/ears/whatever are just minor eathestic changes, nothing is drastic that people want, no one seriously wants to hook up with a jellyfish

Right. Minor aesthetic differences-- and thus nothing, in my opinion, that makes them inherently better or more interesting than other races. The idea that a qunari female would be somehow a more astounding and awesome character just by virtue of her being qunari, without anything else to qualify that, is as bizarre to me as someone going "ohh ho hum another human?" as if that alone were enough non-differentness to guarantee it deserves a pass.

Sure, people will be tickled by whatever they're tickled by. That's nothing new. But, like I said, people are also weird.

Is it really so much weirder than to say one likes europeans/asians/blacks/blondes/redheads and considers them to be more interesting and "tromancable" than others?

Not really, but if a friend of mine said that he thought a girl he doesn't know must be boring because "she's not Asian" I would still call him a freak.

*Does anyone else have a problem
using the developers names in the same way they'd use Usernames? "David
Gaider" seems unwieldy, "David"  seems too informal, "Gaider" too
impersonal, and "Mr. Gaider" is only a few steps away from "The Right
Honorable".

I'll accept "Grand Poobah" as an alternative.
