I can't actually work out why it didn't feel as in depth and intimate, I guess part of it was timeline based, but even whilst you talked to the DA2 characters it felt like somethings missing, I can't seem to pin point what it is though.



Well that is how I felt; I did not feel the romances came off as intimate nor have any depth. I believe what caused this was the fact the game was rushed and the new conversation system was not worked out properly. I do not know anything about ME, but from hearing fans of the series, the conversation wheel works there but did not do so well in Dragon Age 2. In my opinion, using things from a completely different series and placing them in another is the wrong way to go. There separate games, they should be separate and not pull parts from each.

If the romances were smooth through the game, the conversation allowed you to speak to your companion whenever you so chose (with romantic interactions) and got to know more of who they are, I would not be complaining about how the romance system was in Dragon Age 2. The romance system in Origins felt like a romance, Dragon Age 2, felt more like a one night stand.



They did feel very rushed even though we had more dialogue with them due to all the companion quests and stuff... the atmosphere felt off too. As I said in a previous post, maybe  another part of the reason is because the companion areas didn't have the same type of ambience that the camp site had (with the soft music, night time setting around the campfire etc.)



Maybe. When my character gets a first kiss from Anders and closes her eyes, I assume she is thinking they are some where else. A warm summer night, with the stars shinning down on them, the moon illuminating Anders face, the smells of sweet wildflowers in the air. But then she opens her eyes, realizes the smell of wildflowers is sh!t and ****** and the breeze she felt is rats scurrying around her ankles. Yeah, I think the ambiance was better in Origins. Getting a first kiss in Darktown.....not so romantic.

Yeah, I'll have to set that up for my husband.

"Oh, I know you want to go to Olive Garden and maybe a movie for romance night. But, I dunno....I think a night down in the sewers with rats crawling all over and wading through  sewage water is far more romantic. Maybe will get lucky and find a tunnel that is relatively dry. Let me just get some newspapers to lay on and will head out."

:P

And just think! Maybe in ten years Anders and my character can go back to Kirkwall-Darktown, shovel some sh!t to the side and create a nice home for our little mage babies.

They could build their house in the giant crater where the Chantry once stood. Brings a whole new meaning to the term "holy sh!t" doesn't it!

Well I would not want to touch that statue, the family War Hound has been using it as his fire hydrant.

Instead of the white-underwear scenes in DAO, or the climax scenes in DA@, in DA3 they should just cut to this.
That would be the best sex-scene ever.:D

Especially if they were wearing their chain and turtleneck sweater.
And if other party members are having sex, you should get to high-five them.
