Aveline always seemed more like a bro than a LI to me anyway.

A shame, but that was expected. I'm looking forward to having her on the team either way.

SFX: And what are your favourite parts of the DA world?

Darrah:
In DA2 I think the truth is that Aveline is
now my favourite character, although I have told others it was Isabella.
Hmm. In many ways Aveline is the toughest character we’ve ever written,
she’s got iron in her soul! I like that uncompromising willingness to
be a defender, to do what’s necessary to protect what she’s needs to
protect. She is not a romance option for the player but there are things
with her later
… she can come out of her shell to some degree…! That’s
one advantage of the passage of time. By the end of the game her
husband’s been dead for 10 years.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :crying: *rushes off to edit signature*

Hm, so Aveline isn't an LI, then? Figured as much, especially after DG described her as being sisterly. I can't picture romancing someone who's like a sister to you.

So, looks like Merrill will be the straight option for m!Hawke and Isabela the bi option. I'm still going with my gut and saying Fenris will be the straight option and Anders the bi option for fem!Hawke. I still think Sebastian will be a bonus bi LI and nothing anyone says will make me change my mind, unless you have something that proves he's not, obviously. Saying, "but he's DLC! That automatically disqualifies him!" isn't proof, that's just an assumption. Assumptions don't fly with this gal, nuh-uh! No, ser. Proof now, admission of being wrong after.

That'd be a little unfair, though. 3 LI's for women and only 2 for men...but from what I remember we can at the very least flirt with him, so who knows?

Good interview and I think that means my first Hawke is going to be Celibate Hawke if the only other LIs are Isabela and Merril for males.

Well, this is my "the unfair sex" role kicking in but:

[trollmode]

Ha, ha, ha, wouldn't that be comeuppance from the years and years we've always had less LIs then you? HA HA HA

[/trollmode]

That said, there is most likely another companion in DLC. If Sebastian is a LI, then so would that (probably female) companion.

I have a feeling this article will get quoted a lot, usually whenever Mr.Gaider feels like telling people their opinions on the forums don't matter...

Kidding aside, that was slightly more in-depth than most of the other interviews, interesting read.

 Aveline's not a romance option?

I'm disappointed Aveline isn't a love interest, though I suppose I don't know that much about her anyway. My Hawke can probably still have a deep relationship with her, despite never being intimate. Maybe Merrill will be a fine character to be in a relationship with, I'll wait until I play the game. This was a good article.

If there is, INB4 people start begging for a female Qunari.

If Aveline is not a romance, then one of the male companions isn't either. They wouldn't give three male LIs and two female ones. Now we just have to figure out which ones are which. >_>

The upside for Merrill romancers is that her chances just got a lot better.

No? Cos that would be unfair? You mean like how male Shepard has two choices and female Shepard has one (and please do not tell me, a heterosexual woman. that Liara is an option to me, unless you can show me evidence that she is packing a pork sword along with that womanly bosom....................................... <_<) 
Sorry, sorry........................ I'll get me coat :unsure: It is just that why would it be such a terrible thing for the female gamer to get more choices for once?
As it happens you are probably right, history shows us that the male gamer always gets more.
Either way, I am really looking forward to the game and have pre ordered two signature editions (PS3 and 360) :D and have had money sidelined for ages for it! 
ETA - Also - What Saibh said! :D

Honestly, this is one of my biggest worries about this news. Oh, aside from the fact that I'm disappointed because I had my heart set on Aveline for my maleHawke. Posted Image Darn that trailer that shows Aveline whilst saying "relationships" can build over years or somesuch. This one  , around 3:23.  My fault, for reading "romance" out of "relationship", I suppose.

I figured as much. I also think it's pretty obvious Varric most likely won't be an LI. He's a dwarf, and the narrator so.....

So this confirms we have two romances.



We know Fenris is a FemHawke romance, I guess this confirm that Anders isn't a romance? *Varric hopeful*

On a side note, the article misspells Isabela.
