So there are going to be non-companion LIs. Maybe both Anders and Fendris are the bi option.

If by that you mean "They're all bi," then yes.

I was waiting for MorningBird or lilliful to speak up, but apparently their engines stalled. Anyway, guess who just made it onto our hit list? ;D

.. OH.  Sorry gurl, I thought you had that one.

OT: I kind of want to romance Merrill with a hardcore warrior woman. because I think it would be adorable.

It never ceases to make me grin in amusement at how people who proclaim to have no interest in romance in video games make a point of reading and commenting upon romance threads. Not just once, but several times.
brb, grinning with amusement forever.

Lol, my interest with this thread was to voice to BioWare that they drop some romance achievements so that I don't have to do them.

Now there is only one romance achi in DA2, so I will have to romance something. But thanks the maker there is no romance achi for all possible romances.

You underestimate the power of the lesbian biker gang.

If only it were possible for me to believe such a holy thing existed.

Of course I mean they are all bi by saying maybe neither Anders nor Fenris are the bi option ...

Okay, just making sure we're on the same page.

I think Bioware is smart to lure the romance-reading population into gaming via the delicious little romance threads which have now become standard fare for the games they make. They could even push the gaming envelope a little farther if they wanted to- an interactive romance story game. If it were even moderately well done/produced, it would be a hit with bored housewives the world over. Why bother to read a print novel, when you could have a tv screen full of your own beautiful Highland warrior, voiced by a man with a sexy brogue? I think there's a huge market there, just waiting for its collective bodice to be ripped!

This is an awesome idea. Props

Thank you very much. Do you think game developers will listen?  

I absolutely agree - just wish I were young enough to learn game design and start my own company dedicated to this sort of interactive romance! It's crazy that most game developers target teenaged and young adult males and seem to think that old ladies like me are only interested in hidden object games. That why I adored DAO - the potential for multiple romance storylines and endings based upon player choice (just think of what one could do with a story like Gone With The Wind if you had the opportunities to influence Scarlett's choices).

Exactly. Really, the idea just needs a woman (or a man brave enough) with vision and know-how to make it work. If you think of the profits made in romance books, and all of the romance sub-genres...it's staggering. I know I personally fork out plenty of money if the story is good, and I can't get it at the library. There is a huge market there comprised of woman over the age of 30. Good grief, I would LOVE an interactive Gone With The Wind- what fun to rip Rhett's clothes off after he carries you up the stairs, eh? Or something historical around the time of Braveheart. There are just so many possibilities.

Also, following the same line of thought, there really is a huge market in this for teens as well. How many girls are buying and reading paranormal romance? So, why isn't there an interactive vampire romance or werewolf or fallen angel game for teens? I know alot of young women that would drop-kick their Halo playing brothers out the door for a chance to play a game like that. Game developers are seriously missing the boat here! The boy market is well covered with all the zombie and shooter games, but what girl wouldn't pay $60 to have her own game where she gets to kiss a vampire??? Sheesh, game companies really need to listen and start making the kind of games that will attract more women- young and old. It just seems so obvious...

Hear, hear! Who should we call? ....

Karily

I haven't a clue who to call. I'm like a frustrated virgin- I have a general idea of what I want, but no understanding of how to go about achieving satisfaction. Oh well.

I agree 100%. Merrill is too cute not to be badass.

If you are fixing my posts you could at least fix my wrong spelling of Fenris name.

I hope you have it in white, because they're apparently coming for you.  That's what I gathered, anyway.

I considered it, but decided against it. It's okay if people occasionally spell things incorrectly. Accidentally suggesting all the LIs aren't bi ... that's another matter altogether.

Don't worry, Taleroth's deflecting. It's a defense mechanism. We've seen it before.

That's the spirit.  Lesbians in leather?  After moi?  I couldn't be so lucky.

Well, not twice in one lifetime.

I...this thread...

Lol same.

I can't even follow this thread with all that yay yay romances cheering.

With movies I always ask "why yet again stupid and uninteresting romance". At times I have wondered is it women's job to be romanceable chars in movies or is it women who want there are romances in every movie.

*shrugs* Okay, if romance is really so awful... should it just be: "Shut up b@**h and take your clothes off!" Would that be more to your liking? (or licking if you prefer)

I'm not trying to be mean, but really, without a little romance, what's left? (apart from just raw s#x, which ain't necessarily a bad thing...)

I applaud you for standing up for romantic male gamers everywhere. It's certainly NOT just for women...even if women do most of the chattering over it.

There are plenty of guys doing a hell of a lot of chatting about it around these parts too.

Very true, but I think the ladies still outnumber them.

+1. You give me hope for our gender.

Funny thing is, my wife always "joins" me when I play BW games, giving me a second pair of eyes (and looking stuff up when I get stuck or when "Morrigan Disapproves" ). Not only does she enjoy watching me play through the romances, I have strict suggestions to romance Garrus on my next femShep ME2 run.

Back on topic...I was looking forward to a Merrill romance before learning who her VA was. Now...dang. Here's hoping that the "she won't be a good healer" thing is a misunderstanding.

At the very least if Merrill isn't that great at healing she'll probably good at nuking the crap out of stuff.
