Incomplete poll is incomplete. With the information available, none of the currently known characters are romantically interesting to me.


I've set up a new, less messier poll.

I like Fenris and all, but I'd like the M/M option to not be an elf again.

The poll still doesn't have a "no" option. <_<

I'll add that if I can.

I agree with this.  Maybe Varric?  The buffet of manliness would be a nice contrast to Zevran.

Could be but remeber there's the "Virginal Girl Next Door"  statement. Aveline didnt really fit the picture.


He also said something about the interpretation of that phrase. ;)

So, Merrill ends up not being a virgin. She might even be lying about her virginity. So what. So what.

Very true. It may mean shes "virginal" to the way that we date. Just look at Cammen and Gheyna they don't date like we do and they seem to be the norm for the Dalish.

"Err... I'm assuming this is because there's voiceover that says this when Merrill is on-screen?

Just a word of caution not to see the two as being related-- sometimes they are, though not in the way you might think. You're free to believe what you like, however, all I'm saying is not to make assumption based on that alone. " ~David Gaider

"Er... Jennifer was talking archetype, not describing the actual sexual history of any of the characters." ~ Mary Kirby

Oh have you guys seen this preview article.

Read about the rivalry system.
Apparantly (though unconfirmed) now you can still have a romance relationship even with negative approval .

This I like. No longer do we need to flatter the *** out of them.

The romance options seem to based on class. I don't want Varric being the bi LI, cause the we would have this:
Straight female = Mage (Assuming Merril is LI)
Bisexual any gender = Rogue
Straight male = Warrior (Assuming Fenris is LI)
Can be changed with the Mage guy and Aveline, but still a fourth bisexual rogue doesn't seem right with me. I know we don't know anything for sure yet, but still...

Didn't David Gaider say that she was desribing tropes not describing any particular charactors sexual history? I'll see if I can find quote.


I remember that, yes. But Mr. Gaider would be hard-pressed to explain why they showed a shot of Merrill in that trailer the same moment the words "virginal girl next door" were mentioned.

Perhaps he was talking about someone else? I find it hard to believe that there could be a completely unannounced female companion that might fit that description, and that they were simply using Merrill as a placeholder.

I think Mr. Gaider was just trying to dissuade us from adopting certain pre-conceived notions. But, to me, at this point in time, Merrill is still the "virginal girl next door."

I see what you're getting at, could be used as possible misdirection

We'll see, there are not that many options for a second LI, as far, as we know, that's true.

I find it intimidating to post on romance threads these days.



I enjoy them. I enjoy friendships. They are both entertaining and enjoyable. However, many people take them so seriously that I feel out of my depth.

Thanks buddy, that was kind of you to say.

Still, I find that the things people obsess over is not...well...I find it hard to understand. An in game romance is - to me- not someone that needs to appeal to you personally, but someone you can imagine your in-game character romancing-maybe. Thus, all the talk about appearance, and morality is...well...kind of out there for me.

Why Varric couldn't be romanceable for a make Hawke ? Not because Zevran was means Fenris will be.



I'm pretty sure Isabella is,since you see her jump on Hawke and all.

I hope Aveline won't be a love interest, because she was previously married, I would feel bad, either you kill the husband or you watch and then seduce his widow...

Yeah, the dead spouse thing only works if it's a guy. Women love being told they remind someone of his dead wife. :whistle:

Male Hake: Isabela, Merril, and Fenris

FemHawke: Mage-guy, Fenris, and Isabela

Aveline probably won't want to get involved with you due to... certain circumstances at the beginning of the game and Varric is dwarf so no thanks.

For the S/S options, I hope it's not Fenris, but seeing as we already have what is proably a human S/S LI (Isabela), I don't think so. It would look repetitive if both S/S options were human.

Well firstly, you don't *have* to seduce her if that is not your thing. However, there may be other people for whom this creates a common element that makes her more appealing. If you lose a sibling and she loses a spouse, then both of you have that loss of someone close to you that  may create a strong bond. It doesn't mean she should not be a romance option, it just means she may not be right for you.

Secondly, it is not like her spouse dies and you guys have hawt sex by his corpse or anything (I hope not!). The game spans a fair amount of time- I think a decade or so. That is quite enough time for people to get over even such tragic memories.

Guys, the virginal girl next door is obviously going to be the NPC woman who actually lives next door to Hawke's house. She'll wait at home for him, knitting and baking, while he goes off to be GRR MANLY CHAMPION.
