I hope it isn't true as well. Basically because it cuts down on the content for that particular romance/LI. If all other LIs have 2 different ways you can play out a relationship, but one LI only has 1, well I just think it would be a shame. It makes the prospect of replaying that romance less interesting if you can only do it one way. But maybe that's just me.

Well obviously I'm just speculating, but it would seem that one path with Anders- whether it's rivalry or friendship I don't know- would be to encourage his synthesis with Vengeance and end up with him becoming a full-blown abomination.  Could you really romance an abomination?  (edit: if anyone answers "yeah baby", I'll give a Fenris facepalm- i.e.  phase through that poster's face Posted Image)

Thank you Chris!

So, how do you guys think the rivalry romance and friendship romance differ from each other?

 

I think friendship romance is basically "I love you" normal Bioware romance. The rivalry romance I think is "I hate you but love you" and leads to some nice hatesex :devil:

I want my LadyHawk to get in a heated argument with her LI which turns into them sticking their tongues down each other's throat.  Yes, mmhmm.... that would be nice. Posted Image

No Aveline romance?



I mean...seriously Bioware? The only good-looking female character is NOT romanceable? Now that's completely retarded.



So, the queer guys get the s/s romances, how about we straight guys get some hawt romances too? :(

I think my LI on the first playthrough will be determined by which voice actor I prefer. Which means I'll probably be a Lady Hawke (the default female Hawke looks the best to me), and I'll probably go after Anders. I can't see him as the M/M romance option right now, though I'll be pleasantly surprised if he is.

Isn't that a matter of opinion?  I've heard guys salivating over Isabella, Merrill, and Bethany as being very good-looking characters.

I'm hoping all relationships (LI or otherwise) will be a little more in-depth this time around. I remember I endlessly pestered my teammates about themselves, but no one seemed to give a damn about why they were calling my Lady Aeducan a Kinslayer or what would possess her to put her brother on the throne, or how Brosca felt about Leske's betrayal, or anything about any Warden's background, really. No one seemed to care why your Warden was doing things or how they felt about things in most cases, and just passed judgment or decided they were in love.

At times it felt a bit like a more complicated Harvest Moon, where I gave them presents until they came and lazed about while I did all the work still.

Yes... I want to be asked lots of questions.  I want to feel like my LI's are trying to get to know me just as much as I'm trying to get to know them.

Well romances are hard to do in computer games. What you see in DA is interactive soap opera, and even Bold & Beautiful is better in that regard. There at least is drama and many concurrent romances and not everyone remaining single or romancing you, while the only drama is when Leliana asks you to chose between her and Morri.

I don't necessarily mean drama, either. We never even had a "What happened to your family?" from Alistair for the Human Noble, and yet later you can remind him that your family was killed and he says something along the lines of forgetting, when you never told him. Even if it contains only certain responses and options, it's not too complicated to have characters go "Now I've told you about my childhood, what about yours?"

Nor is it too much to ask, I would think, that there would be a short dialogue after you kill Leske because he betrays you. Things like that aren't too overly dramatic or complicated, and I felt a little...'ignored' because every conversation was more about the other person.

So, I hope the LIs in DA2 (and just party members in general) are a little more observant. It would make for a much less dissonant environment for me, that I'm supposed to have group members who are at 'friendly' with me, yet don't notice that something should possibly have upset me/been hard for me. You are there for them through all their tough times, whether you're a jerk or a supportive friend or a neutral party, and I don't think it's a stretch that more dialogue points/scenes couldn't have them do the same for you.

This.
I've enjoyed all the romances I've played in BioWare games,but the fact my PC's chosen LI didn't seem to know anything about said PC even by the end of the game has always bothered my slightly.

How are they forcing you to get trophies? Don't get the trophies you don't want to get. I doubt I'll ever unlock the slaughtering-elves trophy from DAO for example.

Hence my ambivalence about achievements. Rewarding folks for reaching levels or handling an encounter skillfully are fine assuming gameplay isn't interrupted by an intrusive pop-up, but I hate it when I find myself having to choose between an extrinsic reward and playing in-character. Not getting to loot their corpse if I show someone mercy is fine. Not getting the achievement points for doing all of the cooking dailies if my character refuses to steal rice from the poor, not so much. Looking at you, Blizzard!

Rewarding characters for romancing a many NPCs as possible in Origins encouraged folks to play in a way that appears not to have thrilled the developers, judging by the single romance achievement in DA II.  I'm personally pleased by the change.

Hey now. I'm someone who bucked for Aveline as a romance too, but you don't need to praise one choice by knocking down others. *shrug*

You have good points.

Edit: I don't actually understand these romance things. In my opinion a romance happens when two people want so.

 Well this picture certainly suggests that Fenris can hook up with Lady Hawke, though whether he'll hook up with Gentleman Hawke remains to be seen:  http://images2.wikia...risandhawke.jpg .

It would have been a good chance for a great story in my opinion. Although I don't know, what Bioware has in store for Aveline.

I wonder if the devs should just go ahead and anounce up front that you can't romance Dog, the corpse of Aveline's husband, the preorder bonus shield, or the Allied Supply Crates from DAO before those requests start rolling in?

I'm really influenced by voice, too, though I was interested in Fenris' character even before we heard the incredibly swoony voice clip.

Oddly enough, it's Anders' VO that is part of the reason he does nothing for me.  Greg Ellis is a great VA, but it just doesn't grab me.  Maybe I was traumatized by Cullen.  Posted Image

That... wtf?
Are you seriously saying that you should get to romance whichever female you like just because the gay players will get to romance someone whether it's a character they like or not?
I... ffs I don't even know what to say to that..

Lord. There are so many wonderful LI choices.

I am incredibly conflicted. Its probably already been said before by someone else, but this is probably the first bioware game where I want to romance EVERYONE.

Isabela? Let's have sexy pirate excursions. She's such a sex kitten. Its about time there was a female bi option that was hot, furious, and dominating. Thank the lord.

Anders? I've wanted to tap that since Awakening. I'd gladly have traded in Alistair for Anders. Bring in the snark. Justice will add a very... interesting... dynamic. Hopefully the same anders is in there somewhere.

Fenris? Gideon Emery? Snarky snotty arrogant elf guy who needs to be put in his place? I'll put him in his place!

A week won't give me enough time to enjoy this at its full extent.... My F!Hawke is going to be overwhelmed by the dishes at her disposal. And it'll make sense, considering she's a country girl out in the middle of Lothering who suddenly is in the company of a Sexy Pirate, a Sexy Mage, and a Sexy Elf. She'll all be like ".... this is the real world? OMG D: I don't wanna LEAVE"

Ok, once and for all:

Hawke does NOT romance Bethany or Carver.

We have confirmed thE 4 romance characters and neitehr Bethany nor Carver are romances. So knock off all the talk about incest.

If you do not like homosexual romances, DO NOT discuss them either. They are optional, just like ALL romances are optional. People bringing their personal beliefs about homosexuality into this thread will be removed.



:devil:


We could debate said homosexual romances easier if you would just tell us who they are! :crying:
