As much as I love feeling like Bill Murray, forced to endure the same debate time and time again, this has been argued to death and at this point, is mostly a breeding ground for vitriol and ad hominem.

So let's pull this off the current topic of breast sizes and return to discussing the romances. Yes, there's overlap between the two topics, but this has gone far beyond that point.

I really like ' a breeding ground for vitrol and hominem'. Do you mind if I use that for my class next week? I'm having the students debate some art ideas and I'm pretty sure this one person is going to talk about what sublime could mean. Again.

Whats with the big bump/mole/zit/beauty mark on izzabelly:s face?

That's what I was wondering, it was kinda annoying me and made me reluctant to romance her.

Do people really pay $60 for a game and then choose to skip massive amounts of content? Really? You'd kill a potential companion on sight? Without even trying to get to know them? Like, nobody is even a little curious about redemption or other side quests and plots?

 I guess the only real option for Male Hawke is Merrill.....Isabella has a butterface.

Irefutable evidence that beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I would like to know what "butterface" means....

butterface
butt-er-face
But her face

@madsabroo: That's metagaming. Some people are fine with that, but others prefer to completely roleplay their decisions. I can see their being a LOT of in-game logic In favor if killing Anders.

Technically, there are compelling reasons to kill almost every companion announced in DA2.  If you didn't give the characters a chance to develop you'd be running around with an empty party.

I'm wondering how they're going to bring Anders into the party without many Hawkes feeling the need to kill him as fast as humanly possible. He may not technically be an abomination since he can regain control, but he's pretty damn close.

The same way they 'brought' Zevran, Sten, and Leliana into the party. They give the PC the option to take them or not.

Or, you know- Wynne.  Who admits to having a Fade Fairy and wonders aloud if she's an abomination.

And at that point, you can't even tell her to take a hike.

Indeed, in some DA:O games I kill Zevran, even though I really like the character because I feel the Warden I'm playing at the time just isn't the person to take a chance on an assassin who tried to kill them, while others let him live.  I try not to let what I know as a player influence what decisions my PC at the time makes

I sure wouldn't want to, but it would depend on the character I was roleplaying and how they felt about it. Of course, there are people like that guy a little ways back who kills characters just because he doesn't like them, but that's not what I'm talking about. If a character seems insanely dangerous to my PC, she's not going to want them around, or doing potential harm to others. That's why my PCs killed Velanna.

And? What's your point?

I'm not seeing major reasons to be concerned about the others. And I'm really not seeing anything abomination-level. At the same time, I'm certain that the writers will have a way of dealing with this, since they'll know it's a concern. Especially since they let the cat out of the bag.

Isabela? Criminal.  Merril?  Blood mage.  Fenris?  On the run.

Anders' might be the most severe, but few of these characters are upstanding members of society.

I'll have a VERY difficult time justifying keeping Anders around, once he outs himself. You do him a favor, he fails to let you know what you're dealing with, then he loses control, thereby endangering Hawke and his family by extension. Even Zevran didn't compromise the Warden that way.

Merril is a blood mage? Was that in her story Haven't read it yet. Well, that will make a difference. Still there's a HUGE difference between any of those things and a demon possesed abomination.

It does boggle the mind how some people just kill party members like it's nothing. It does nothing but cut content and weaken the whole experience. 

I mean even if you don't like a team mate you can just antagonize them or something, the rival option is there for a reason.

[errant_knight]

So...do you just not roleplay at all, or what?

After weeks of speculation I just found the following tidbit of information in the PC Player review which might interest you guys.

"... DA2's romantic options are unconstrained. You meet a party member chances are you can bone them (your sibling is on fortunate exception) Male, female, amalgamation of human and spirutal manifestation of justice, all are fair game.&nbsp; ..."

So I take, there is someone for anyone to choose from when picking your love interest.

After reading the review, I can't wait to get my hands on the game. (And no, not just because of the romance options)

Wait, so does this mean that all LIs are bi? Hallaluha! Happy days! If not

Well I do make characters with different traits/personalities/views, but I'd never do something as extreme as killing off a party member.

Yay, someone finally noticed! The review definitively confirms that all
are bi. That doesn't mean it's true, though, until a dev says so or we
experience it in-game.

I get the idea that the "Male, female, amalgamation of human and spirutal manifestation of justice, all are fair game.&nbsp; ..." isn't actually part of the review.

Last time I checked, DA2 was billed as a Role-Playing Game.

Yes it is.

[DarthSliver]

But after reading this thread some more I am unsure if i want Isabella over Merrill, both female chars sound awesome.

[Dr. wonderful]

Why the hell do people care if LI are bi?



Just...why?
