I'm hoping for atleast 9 or 10 permanent companions.

Nine or ten? Why stop there, my friend? You're setting your sights too low. I'm hoping for at least 35 permanent companions.

Not that I'm going to get them. Juuuuust that I'm hoping for them.

In other news, I wasn't aware that nearly anything had been confirmed about love interests, besides the fact that there would be same sex options, and even that I heard second-hand.

Does anyone have the links to these things?

That doesn't seem like something Gaider would say.

[ankuu]

*cough* I think the companions that were LIs were revealed before release Mr Priestly.

But no i don't think Ser Gaider said that.

I do believe he said it in the context of (p)reviews will spoil/reveal certain things before release.

And that's more than likely true as it's what happened with DA:O and ME2.

Almost nothing has been revealed about love interests, most things said were guesses. But the game faqs on the DA2 website say something about being able to romance certain npcs in the party and throught out the world.

Alright, I didn't think so either; I figured that if some huge thing (like number of love interests or when they're going to be released) was mentioned, I'd have heard. But it's always possible I missed something.

Hmmm, throughout the world. . . fascinating.

They weren't revealed to be Love Interests.

I'm absolutely positive they were. Perhaps not from an official stand point, but we knew them all. Certainly Zevran, Morrigan, and Leliana were--it's in their character trailers. And I'm positive I knew Alistair was a romance option before the game was released.

I'm very surprised to hear that David promised that. We did not reveal all the romances before DA:O shipped and I was not aware of a plan to do so this time.

Can someone quote me where he promised this? (Not that I doubt you, except you are all a pack of filthy liars).

Actually, I just checked, and yes, all the romance options were announced before DA:O came out.

Alistair was confirmed by you in a thread (thanks again, btw ).  Morrigan's romance scene was shown to journalists at the same time as the Flemeth battle.  Leliana's and Zevran's were both confirmed by their character reveal trailers, which showed portions of their love scenes.

I really liked those character trailers.  Are we getting anything like that this time around?

Why are people so interested in LIs in this GAME? Have you people actually had a REAL life girl/boyfriend?

   i think every Bioware game had LI...so of course fans are interested....and...would it make me and my girlfriend creepy if i said we both want to know the LI in DA II ?

[crimzontearz]

I'm married and I still find the LIs to be pure awesomesauce RP-wise

I'm happily married with two little boys, and the romances are one of my favourite parts (much to my husband's annoyance).

I don't know about others, but the romances make it a lot more real. For me, to have a good plot something has to have a fantastic story, engaging characrers, and some form of romance that is not the focal point of the story. I feel Bioware does this more than admirably, which is why I play their games with such voracity, and love interestes are a big part of that.

But I do understand where some people are coming from. Maybe Bioware should just make a dating sim, see if that gets all this craziness out of everyone's systems.

I kid, I kid.

Why would someone be interested in reading a fantasy novel over, say, a sci-fi novel? Why would someone be interested in crafting in WoW instead of combat? Why would someone love watching reality shows, but despise watching sports?

Different strokes for different folks (don't even try to look for a pun, people). Romance is a very unique feature to BioWare, and immensely enjoyable to many. It adds a new outlook, a new flavor to a situation. Your character might feel differently about how they treat elves if they're dating one. I mean, why were people so upset when Mufasa died in The Lion King? He's not real, why did we get attached?

I am 100% sure that LIs were revealed before DA:O's launch.

Morrigan and Leliana's trailers were both clearly romantic. "I found you" and "I hear the tales of Grey Warden endurance." Both had shots of the Human Male Warden sex scenes. Zevran's trailer had a shot of the Female Elf sex scene with him. And Alistair's trailer revealed nothing and portrayed him as a bro, but one of the Lady Writers -- Sheryl or Mary, I think -- was given permission to come into the old forums and officially announce him as the first male LI shortly after his trailer was released.

The S/S LIs, on the other hand, were a mystery until people got their copies. I remember the fierce debate over whether Morrigan or Leliana swung both ways ...

So yes, I am 100% sure that all four LIs in DA:O were revealed as such by the developers, and 90% sure that they were confirmed as the only companion romances.

Like I said in my post above, it was Evil Chris himself who announced Alistair's romanceable status here.  You're right about the rest, though, the character trailers showed clearly whom would be love interests.

FASCINATING. I wonder why I remember this being one of the Lady Writers so damn clearly? Weird!

DAO LIs weren't announced before release. However, we did find out when the achievements were made public prior to the launch of the game.

This is such misinformation. Alistair was announced by a dev, and the other three clearly showed sex scenes/romance dialogue in their trailers. How does that not count?

When I saw that I had the impression he was joking.

[RosaAquafire]

-- oh, and I completely forgot about this, but Leliana and Morrigan fighting over the Warden romantically was shown in a developer demo during 2009 E3's presentation. So that's basically an official confirmation on level with Alistair. I don't remember Zevran's confirmation, but I remember reading that he WAS an LI before his trailer was released, and people going into it knowing that he would be, so he likely was, as well.

Sigh.  Look at the posts on this page showing otherwise.  But for posterity's sake:

Morrigan's romance reveal at E3 2009

Zevran's character trailer

Leliana's character trailer

And once again; Chris Priestly announcing Alistair was a love interest
