Lulz, I give up, my opinion is clearly outnumbered. I'll just be here in the corner, by myself, with an open mind ready to be pleasantly surprised by BioWare's characterization efforts D:

lol, sorry. Nah, I doubt he will be an Alistair bis. I'm waiting to see.

[Maelora]

Zevran used to be hot.

Now he's all derpy. The years have not been kind...

I like how you read my mind.

Now now you two, not every guy who wants love and a comitted relationship is automatically Alistair XD No more than every hot elf is automatically Zevran 2.0.

Perhaps. I guess it remains to be seen how similar they are (although I thought them something of clones already in Awakening - and that had nothing to do with the romance then)

Ryzaki and others - *points up* This. Neezroy and I seem to share like minds. xD

Zevran and Fenris have very different personalities. But Anders and Alistair share a lot in common in personality. >< (so it seems to me, at least) I'll see how it goes in game. But the chances he'll annoy me have increased.

cya later, guys. I have work.

Yeah, that's what I find so odd about it all. I thought the f/r thing meant there was more choice, richer relationships, romances that still happened but just had a different flavour to them depending on f/r ... but now it seems that if you are pursuing a romantic relationship with someone, you've got to micro-manage your responses and choose decisions in a particular way to get the outcome of the romance you want. Which means you end up with the approval system problems from DAO.

I am confuse.

Seriously, haters gonna hate. Then again, I pretty much romanced Alistair every. single. time. Except that one time with Zevran, and I never finished Morrigan or Leliana characters.

Every hot elf being Zevran 2.0 implies Zevran was hot.

He is definitly not hot in anyway right now. *wipes murder knife*

How? It just means you don't get to call someone names. You can disagree with someone without being rude.

That's true.  I'm sure there were be various diplomatic ways to disagree in order to open up the Rivalry path.  There's no reason for it to only open if you're like "You're just a big..stupid...meanie!" ...Though if there was an option exactly like it,  I might overuse it.  ._.

[MorningBird]

So, is the game out yet? No? Aw... *sadface*

OT: Yay for new information! :3 I am intrigued by the rival-mance system... definitely going to have to see how that works out.

Who said anything about HATE?  I already said I liked Alistair, it just SEEMS Anders has taken some points from his character booklet. I also said it remains to be seen how it really is...

It does make me feel a little stressed. I hope it will all sort itself out once we get the game. Hopefully it will all seem logical (and not so confusing/stupid) then or it will be guides and walkthroughs FTW.

Nothing particular to s/s or specific characters, except a note that Isabella (????) and Sebastian are atypical.  There are also some very general hints as to how a relationship may progress over time.  Here's the basic breakdown:



If you wish to initiate a romance with a companion, follow these simple guidelines:

- Flirt with the object of your affections whenever possible. However, note that the presence of a Flirt option isn’t always a true indication that a romance is possible.

- In Act 2, try to ensure that your visits to Hawke’s abode occur at night. If your desired squeeze is present on arrival, use the Flirt option to initiate the next stage. When the option arises in conversation, enquire about living together.

- After the romance begins, do not make come-hither eyes at other companions or NPCs: this will not end well. Nor, for that matter, will any degree of ambivalence or outright rejection.

- For the rest of the story, develop the relationship gauge to maximum friendship or rivalry, complete all companion quests, including any ambient situational conversations that may occur, deliver the necessary gifts, then share a moment with Hawke’s loved one in the calm before the storm during Dragon Age II’s epic conclusion --you’ll know it when you get there.

- For Isabela and Sebastian, the above technique only partially applies.

I wouldn't suggest you to download the file then, spoilers aplenty! And yes, even something relevant...they give you an insight on how to romance certain characters specifically too.

Sooo...now I am sure that not all LI are BI. From the romance part of guide: "flirt as often as possible with your desired party member but remember that flirt do not implement possibility of the romance".

I guess that is because neither of them wants a relationship in the usual sense (Seb being chaste and Isabela being...not so chaste).

You can flirt with Aveline. She's not romanceble.

See our discussion on the previous pages. It might just refer to the possibility to flirt with non-romancable npc's like Varric and Aveline...

Yah, that caught my eye too, for some INEXPLICABLE reason...

sadly, preclude means - to prevent, make impossible.

sooooooo.................I can't haz my hatemance?  *breaks down into depressed sobs, waving by to the image of Fenris pinned against a wall*

I've been lurking, but I feel the need to say that ALL IS NOT LOST on the hatemance front.  It's possible that you still get your Fenris smexy tiems in a hatemance but that it's a "fling" rather than being a lasting relationship.  That's how I read "future entanglement of limbs" anyway
