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.

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."

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.

Cat ears are way better, nekomimi FTW! :happy:

I just have a serious love of cultural conflicts and how they impact close relationships. YMMV, obviously, but I found the Sten-Warden interactions to be fascinating and thus became more emotionally invested in our friendship then, say, for characters who I shared a worldview with.

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.

In fairness, dwarves are pretty awesome.

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.

I do, indeed. However, he was not human, which impacts my interest in having a non-human LI. Obviously IRL we have plenty of cultural conflicts, intercultural dating, etc. without Qunari or Salarians or whatever. Perhaps due to our history of fighting over said cultural conflicts, in games the differences are made more blatant. But they are fascinating, to me, in any context.

Speaking of furries... I have to ask an obligatory question. Can we romance a Fex???:innocent:

Really & truly though I hate furries with a passion.

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

Seems like Jorian found his mortal enemy

So what did that make Alistair, in the case of non-human wardens?

This is true, but IMO in DA:O I saw the most cultural conflict when interacting with different races. Obviously this is not a blanket statement, but looking at the Leliana-Elf specific conversation, for example, was a nice example as well. Or Morrigan to any Warden. This sort of thing is what interests me, personally.

[HolyJellyfish]

@jorian dude that's the head writer. DA wouldn't have been created without him. I'd say he knows more about RPGs and writing than anyone on here.

Who ever said the only love interests would be party members?

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

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

I doubt he's fired one in real life!

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.

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

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
