Hawke in my current play through is a gay male and I got to thinking of desire demons and how, like in Origins, they are able to sleep with someone. Since demons are able to shapeshift within the fade how would you imagine a desire demon would appear to a gay male or a straight female. Or do you not think it would chage appearance at all, that it's the demon's magical attraction that seduces the mage.

A desire demon would appear as whatever or whoever is needed for the intended victim. The desire demons in DA2 seemed to all retain their standard appearance, making their art of coercion/compulsion appear to rely on the sweet seductive whispers they utter (and the promises within) versus the offerings of the flesh.

So, I think there's been an attempt to shift focus to the "spiritual" side of temptation over the physical.

I think it might be more psychological - rather than physically appearing as what you want, maybe the Desire Demon just influences your mind to make you believe that you want her? Though I'm curious now what a male Desire Demon would look like... hrm!

@Masako52 - They would have to get the just the right voice actor though. The current Desire Demon VA is so seductively perfect.

Hrmm, male desire demons, you say?

[Thibax]

I want to play as Desire Demon, please

[Masako52]

Haha, Jethann is totally a male desire demon. But he needs more naked. And... nipple dangly things.

M!Hawke is practically a desire demon. Everyone f*cking wants him. lol

Well, in the Circle Tower, the desire demon you encounter with the templar seems to have him under a trance and he believes he is with his wife or something. So, I would imagine that the desire demons don't much change shape as they make you see whatever they want you to see.

But then that might imply that Kitty in DA:O was a shared illusion. I think with her, shapeshifting was involved. If you have the mabari in the party, he growls at Kitty, but faces her at what would be eye level for an animal, not a human. If it was pure illusion, he should have been facing upwards.

I would think that the mental illusion is the first tactic used and it supercedes any actual change in physical appearance. But I think they have to dabble in the latter to better ensure their survival.

I thought she had possessed the cat...

Edit: Then I suppose they can bewitch a person and make them see something that isn't there or change their form to become something else.

Well, the wiki states that the demon "assumed the form of a cat" which may or may not be accurate.

But then, I always got a little Bubblegum Crisis vibe whenever demons were around - particularly those disguised as something else. They reminded me of Boomers somehow crammed into normal-looking human shells, who would suddenly puff out and become some metal killing machine.  

(not the best clip to exemplify, but the only one I could find on short notice)

IT"S HIM! Quick make the call to Professor Utonium and Get the Power Puff Grls, STAT!

Seems plausible that desire demons see men as more likely to succumb to temptation and thus have their default appearance as that which is tempting to most men. They wouldn't be able to change forms after realising it was a woman who had turned up because it'd give it away...

You will probably get your wish TC. I remember Dave Gaider himself threatening to include an "incubus"-styled Desire Demon because people were complaining about this very issue. Well, he threatened the people opposed to scantily-clad men. But anyway, it'll probably show up in DA3, so all you need is a little patience and your wish will be fulfilled. Probably.

Damn, I hope so. It might even entice me to play as a female again.
