My male Warden felt violated when both Morrigan and Leliana hit on him. It wasn't possible for him to reject them and move it along. 

Oh wait-


This. ...except I still haven't forgiven the end of DA:O for hinging on HETEROSEXUAL SEX.

Morrigan: "Lie with tonight and your life shall be spared!"

ManWarden: "....you think I would agree to this?!" (actual in-game response that I took to mean "UM. I'M GAY.")

Morrigan: "Why? BECAUSE OF ZEVRAN?"

MaleWarden: "No, because of your vagina." (a response I wish was in-game.)

....so yeah, to everyone who complains about bisexuals HITTING ON THEM and RUINING THEIR GAMING EXPERIENCE FOREVER, I say no. Just... no.


THIS

The massive ****storm if gay sex was necessary for the Warden and his/her friend/lover to live would've been astronomical. 

But since it's forced het sex it's okay. =]

'Player initiating romance' means that the LI doesn't do anything flirty until the PC does first.  



Which wasnt the case in DA2, and it should be 100% of the time when dealing with characters like Garrus and Kaiden


It was in DA2 for some of them.  It was also like that in ME2 for some of them.

I agree, it should be like that for Garrus and Kaidan...damn I don't want them mackin' on my FemShep either.

*actually, I don't care and will just turn them down and move on with my life...just making a point*

They should do the player initated thing for all romances, IMO.  The LI can still be flirty and aggressive (if that suits their character) but not after the PC has triggered interest in some way.

Okay, so when a character finally feels close enough to you that he or she inquires if the two of you could ever be "more than friends," that character is forever ruined for you.

....what's.... that phrase I'm looking for.... ugh, it's on the tip of my tongue, it's....

Oh, right-

yeah he was totally taken aback by that return.
and yeah, i was actually trying to find that scene on youtube, all i could find was damn music video tributes lol.

but ill admit, its much tamer than i remember it being. its been like a year since i played it lol


Is that sarcasm? My meter's broken. 

Really? I found at least 15 different vids of it. 

It's not overly flirty to me at all. Fenris' VA just happens to be the type that sounds sexy and come hither with pretty much everyone he says. :wub: Every convo with him has that same low drawl. Mmmhmmm. <3

Let's not forget that Fenris social skills suck. And he does seem pleasantly surprised to me. He certainly seemed confused at M!Hawke's rejection and doesn't bat an eye at M!Hawke moving the conversation along.

I'm guessing he was trying to flatter Hawke...just...badly. Not necessarily flirt with him/her.

I might be wrong though *shrugs* I've apparently sent out wrong singals myself when I was just trying to be nice. It's pretty common when someone's not used to giving compliments.

it was probably cus i was looking for hawke rejecting him instead of returning the flirtation.

but no, i was wrong in remembering it as overly flirtatious. i have no problem admitting when im wrong. its why i was looking for the video to make sure lol

You don't... actually gotta do it with her, you know. That's what Alistair and Loghain are for.

(The opportunity to talk Alistair into gay sex to save both your lives would have been pretty cool, though, ngl.)

You talk about realism (not everyone bi etc.), yet at the same time you're so against anyone (of any orienation) delaying the reveal of his/her feelings to Shep. How is that realistic? People do it in real life all the time. In this case you want to put completly personal preferences before realism.

Ah true but...I didn't want poor Alistair's first time to be with that harpy. My gay Warden took one for the team. :crying:

Heh, quite. I feel you ought to have been able to bring it up with him later at the end-game ceremony, in the event he left the party after the Landsmeet.

"Incidentally, if I hadn't spared Loghain, you'd have had to impregnate Morrigan. So, you're welcome."

Ugh, this. Just, Alistair's face (and his voice acting, OMG) as he goes "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" made me hate myself, but... I just couldn't take that bullet! I really wish there was an option to say, "HEY MAN AT LEAST YOU LIKE VAGINAS" but, alas, gay manWarden can't bring up his sexuality at all when faced with that choice. ...or ever, except to his gay lover.

Hey, that's another thing! Why can the Warden and Hawke and femShep (when speaking to Liara) say, "Sorry, I don't swing that way" when confronted with a homosexual romance, but not when confronted with a straight romance? I've never really thought about that before... Huh.

well it was also the fact her romance feels utterly forced fanservice and makes absolutely no sense in context of the games lore. and that her character was dramatically changed from ME1 to ME2. (going from a smart, independant confidant if quirky girl, to an overly shy, naive girl who lost all her confidance and need shepard to swoop in and solve all her problems.) 

but yeah, retcons are realistic right? or wait? id unno, now im confused :blink:

Man, if there's one thing DA:O was missing for me, it was an opportunity to get Alistair laid by someone he doesn't loathe. My Cousland was given the option to mercilessly tease him about his virginity, which she totally would, but she sadly wasn't given the option to conspire with Zev and Leliana to get him into a brothel in Denerim or something, which she also totally would.

I mean, Hawke can get her nutsy big sister a husband, and Shep can get her adoptive son a breeding request, why can't the Warden get her bro a good lay? :(

Character evolution isn't a "retcon." Static characters, while predictable, are boring.

theres a big difference between character development and what they did with tali lol.

she regressed. she was more mature and worldly in ME1. maybe she was pychologically damaged and went back to being a teenager or something? i dunno, but it wasnt good.

what they did with liara however was awesome

Well, because the same people who absolutely need that "no ****** bro" option there in order to reinforce their heterosexuality would have said heterosexuality badly threatened by the option to say "no hetero bro."

But yeah, they should fix that.

also stop with the Maker-flicking mandatory asari flirting oh my God even my lesbian Shep hates that :pinched:

I get the impression Alistair wouldn't want his first time - or any time, I assume - to be with just anyone. Better someone he cares for. Which makes sending him off to Morrigan so he can survive to marry Anora either tragic or amusing, depending on your opinion of him.

But I digress.

Then it was a badly written character progression (many think Liara's transformation from book worm into a badass Lara Croft in LOTSB was one as well). That's the problem, not the fact she can be in love with Shep because even confident/independent girl could have quadrillion reasons not to confess her feelings to someone.
