I think Andar means both sequels have s/s in both camps.

s/s seems tolerated in the DA universe, more so than the real world. Wade & Heron are posterboys for flaming fruit pride.



Maybe not among the Qunari, considering their very strict belief system.

Seems like I'd get tears either way. This thought pleases me.


Everytime you post something like this, I see the end of the South Park episode "Scott Tenorman" in my head. Wierd.

Anyway, was this really in doubt? Gaider was still the writer, and everything I have played/read of his has incorporated s/s relations

*scratches head*

As a straight male who doesn't "get" the appeal lesbians have to other straight males - it's not as if those women have any such use for us, at least in an equivalent sense - I can't say I get that either.

If I can't picture myself in the relationship, I can't imagine how it applies to me.


I think that's an entirely reasonable position - obviously not one I share, but there are plenty of people who need to be able to indentify with half of the relationship to get invested int it. (Not that I didn't identify with the male Warden I had romance Zevran in some ways ... just not on a gender level.)

It's only when men who do like lesbian romance get confused by women who like the reverse that I start rolling my eyes ^_^.

I'm sure I read in that HUGE Qunari thread a few months back that Qunari are allowed to love who ever they please,
BUT not have sex, because of their belief in... having baby farms? I dont know.

I'm effing excited and happy! I'm thrilled! I was jumping around for joy -- and even moreso since I was watching the President sign the repeal of DADT at the same time. Much goodness abound for me. I look forward to seeing more of the characters (and options). :)

Why do people say this? What makes them stand-out as an s/s couple?

Because they argue like two old married people?

I just never saw it that way. To me, it looked like Wade was a crafter oblivious to the business side of things and Heren kept him in business by actually charging for the goods he made.

Gaider is quoted as saying they are a couple.

...and then in, in the Darkspawn DLC, one of them is revealed to be a desire demon. That's right, only gay couple in Dragon Age: Origins isn't actually a gay couple.

But that is not canon. And they appear in Awakenings.

Oh, I know they're a couple. What I just meant was I never saw anything to make me go ''Oh, they're totally toghether'' and I just was curious what other people saw that tipped them off.

Hmmm, going by the events of DC then: the Warden was killed during the joining......oops, no need to go any further, since the Warden is pretty vital to DA:O.
And here is a quote form the webpage:
A look at an alternate history: what if your character had died in the
Joining ceremony, and the Grey Wardens marched under Alistair's command
instead?

Oh. My guess was the bickering, seemed more than "friendly" bickering to me.

They are incredibly out there and adorable, without being over the top. You may not have seen it because those relationships typically aren't portrayed in videogames or the media in general unless they are mocking them.

I didn't see any sign, either. My gaydar must be totally broken. I saw things in Awakening, but I already knew they were a couple, so...

About the question, I'm happy. I wouldn't mind if there wasn't no S/S relationship, but it makes me happy that we have, I wonder who the male S/S LI is, I hope it's Varric. :wizard:

I wouldn't have seen a relationship if either was of the opposite gender either. To me it looked it it was just a business relationship.

Maybe. :) I saw it as a relationship the moment Wade opened his mouth. "Heeeeeerooooon!"

They seemed flamingly flametastic to me, and I'm not yaoi fangirl.

Anyhow, I believe Word of God (that is, David Gaider) confirmed they are indeed in a romantic relationship. I was pleased neither one ended up dead by the end of the game.

With Varric narrating how could there not be s/s relationships, female Hawke probably has more female options than male Hawke and infinitely more all girl shower scenes. I could totally see a recreation of that classic Road trip scene with Varric, Cassandra, and a random templar dude as Tom Green, the girl who calls BS on his story, and that other guy.

This is creeeeeeepy.

However, I like to think that Cassandra is intently listening to the entire thing in raptured silence, as details of Hawke's exploits in the bath are critical the preservation of the Chantry and for no other reason!

There's only room in the fridge for the gals, or so I'm led to believe.
