I know DA2 story line and characters are set in stone already.  It would be nice for a change, if companions would romance each other and not wait on the PC to choose them.  Or having an LI that actually would break up with your character mid game for another NPC.  Romance is much more believable if the chance of rejection, the chance of not making it work, and most importantly there is nothing the PC can do to win over completely a potential LI due to in game story circumstances.  Im not asking for a sims game, just that if you are going to do Romances right, add a little bit more conflict in them, instead of just handing it to us.

Too much work for optional (and expensive) content.

It would be nice though.

Or, you know, they could just be nice, optional love content instead of some drama filled soap opera.

Forumites are spiteful, if they were even broken up with by a character they'll hate them for eternity and will kill them as soon as they introduce themselves.

 Yes, that would be interesting, however, I think that might be focusing on such things just a bit too much. I feel lucky that I've even found a game with a great story, romance of one's choice and decent combat. (I know there are others games that have similar traits, but DA:O was the first one that I've found and fallen for.)

I kind of like the idea that the NPC's could have a bit more personality injected into them (or at least the choice to fall in love with someone else; it is ten years after all) at the same time, I feel like that would ****** off a lot of players... no one wants to be anyone's second choice, or not chosen at all for that matter.

In two of the five Bioware games i have played, my love interest has attempted to kill me.

See, I just play actual otome games when I want that level of complexity for a romance.  Romances are not the focus of Bioware games, they don't need to add a bunch of complexity (and budget and manhours) to optional content.

Hmm, LI Buffets.

Interesting idea. Maybe a way to make it work for two non PC romanceable companions have a relationship and the PC's interaction with them would determine how it works out...



Maybe this would even work with Bethany/Carver having a romance with some NPC and the player could have a role, like helping or disapproving of it ( I know its too late now). It would certainly enhance the idea of having a family member in your party, and add more depth to such a relationship.

[kreite]

doing that, there would be a danger of it becoming too much like a soap opera as I'm sure has been said before.

if handled correctly and sparsely however, maybe this sort of thing has a bit of chance...

A soap opera you say? 

Isabela: I'm sorry ... but... I'm going to have to end this kitten.
FHawke: Why?! 
Isabela: Well at first I thought I could handle the whole "they're sisters" thing but...
FHawke: Wait.... what? 
Isabela: I mean seriously your sister has a nice rack... not like theres anything wrong with yours it just like.... well she knows magic
FHawke:..............................................
*Bethany walks in and Isabela walks out with her*

this is what I meant.  Im not big on getting LIs in games and have played playthroughs without pursuing one.  But it would be refreshing if it was changed up a bit with your companions. 

So instead of more LI dialog just different LI dialog.  And inject that kind of dialog into companion banter to create LIs between NPCs.

Will the LIs come with a sneeze guard?

BioWare should make a game where all the love interests are ALWAYS hitting on the player rather than the other way around.

Isn't drama good, though?

I think i read in a preview posted somewhere that there was an implied romantic rivalry between the pc their sibbiling and a Li.

I plan on rolling a fem!Hawke mage and knowing Fenris' past history with his Tevinter slaver magister and general dislike of mages in general (I'm sure), am wondering if another potential LI will attempt to kill me.  Not that that would dissuade me from pursuing him or anything, after all, I do love a challenge. Still... never hurts to have back-up, aye? *sighs* Where's Sten when you need him?
