Oh, and while we're on the subject, how do we feel about the potential NPC reactions to poaching? In the Cassandra/Galyan/protagonist example, do we want Cassandra reacting to the competition? Attention is nice, whether you return it or not. Cassandra might be a little resentful that she is no longer the center of Galyan's world. Or she might be relieved. As long as it didn't turn into a flat-out catfight, I'd be down with some jealousy.

I think that would be hilarious! I could see Cassandra feeling a little offended, even if she wasn't interested in Gaylan, simply because she'd be thinking "typical male" lol.

I would be down for a little jealousy without it turning into a catfight! I got quite a kick out of the comments some of the LIs made towards Zevrin if you flirt -- and Tallis!

Especially with my charming/sarcastic mage hawke who playfully flirts with everyone but ended up with Anders.

I'd really like to see random NPC's try to flirt with our protagonist off their own back and see the LI make some sort of seething comment. One thing I'd love is if Cullen made snarky/biting remarks to an npc who's trying his/her luck, prior to the relationship between the protagonist and him being locked in. So, for example:

The protagonist has been flirting with Cullen for a set amount of time, but he's at the stage where he hasn't directly admitted his feelings yet, but his behaviour gives it away (kinda like how Wynne makes comments about Alistair staring at the protagonists arse etc). So, here we are at some lavish masquerade ball, on our best behaviour with the intent to extract some information out of the important nobility, when some sleazy noble decides to try their luck with your character.

Noble: "And might I say 'ow beautiful/hansome you look zis evening"

Protagonist: *Attempting to be charming* "Why, thankyou. Care to dance?"

Noble: "I thought you would never ask" *Kisses hand*

Cullen: *Looks visibly annoyed*

Noble leads protagonist to the dancefloor

Cullen: *Mockingly mimicks Noble* "Oh 'ow beautiful/hansome you are... Pompous, arrogant, cheese eating, mustache twirling... ass"

Somewhere in town:

Emile De Launcet: *Drunk* "Where 'ave you been all my life?"

Protagonist: "Excuse me?"

Emile De Launcet: "Oh c'mon now, don't be shy. 'Ow would you like to go somewhere more... private and get to know each other?"

Cullen: "How would you like the toe of my boot up your arse?"

Emile De Launcet: "... Point taken."
