It is my opinion, however unpopular or whatever, that there is no reason on earth all of the characters you romance should not be available for either sex to romance. The romance does not change based on what sex you are (except for a few throw-away lines from Anders or whatever) and I feel that it should be equal for all to enjoy. It's not like if you're playing a lesbian, Merrill has a totally different interaction or questline than if you're playing straight...


But characters should react differently to different player characters based on who they are and where they stand as an independent character. So if Alistair thinks my Warden is terribly ugly and repulsive because I gave her a massive nose and beady little eyes, I would love it if he shot me down because of that. Or if he just isn't interested in a gay Warden coming on to him, its because he's straight and just not interested. Or forcing a non human Warden to be his mistress but not queen. Or if Arcade Ganon in New Vegas not being interested in a female character because he's gay. Or conversely, Alistair being interested in my female Warden because he's straight and attracted to females. Or Morrigan maybe liking my mage warden initially more than my templar Warden. That would have been cool. Thats reactivity towards how you've created your player character.

I'd prefer it if the romances did change based on what sex your character was, what class your character is, what origin your character is and so forth. There should be characters like Avelline or Samara that just aren't interested in romance with the PC. Having characters that have limits and say NO to the PC makes them feel more like genuinely real and interesting characters rather than just ego stroking and being completely maleable to the whims of the player.

I speculate that David Gaider will do something horrible to a fan-favorite just because I don't think he likes the forumites much. lol. Go!


Well apparently in that next comic Alistair will have to go up against Sten. Thing is, Sten would totally win that fight... So I'm hoping that they'll end up talking things down. I don't want either of them to die, especially not Alistair.

Did you see that Dragon Age movie? Apparently that **** can't whisper nothing no more.

 Well, why should a character react differently to you based on your sexuality? That  happens enough in real life, don't you think? I'm not sure how they would pull of reacting to your looks- might be too hard to code or display properly in game or whatever, but I'm all for reacting more based on your characters personality. I don't think sexual preference has any business being brought up at all. I'm all for a possible LI telling me NO based on the fact I just murdered their siblings or something- but not based on the fact I'm a girl and they just don't swing that way. Ugh, I promised I wouldn't respond and here I go. lol. That's all I'll say on this subject for realz now. I've made my point, I think.

Remember that fan-fiction about a female Warden romancing Sten and getting vaginally ravaged by his massive 'Qun'?
I think that girl even turned the fan-fiction into a '50 Shades' style ebook, but didn't even bother to change the story much, just the names.

I don't think Cassandra knows how to whisper. She'd just caress your face sweetly and yell "BULLSH*T!"
Then give you a sweet little peck on the nose. Posted Image

how do you think morrigan will appear in DA3!?!?!? :pinched:


From Silent Grove, we discover that Flemeth has multiple daughters and they're all working on perserving Dragons and they discuss in throw-away detail that they used to rule Thedas in a time before the Veil.

This implies the Veil is a recent creation, something which seperates the Fade and reality--something which is further hinted at in the following prophecy which to my knowledge only occurs if you've done the Dark Ritual:

Sandal: One day the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide.

Bodahn: Huh. What's this?

Sandal: When he rises, everyone will see.

Bodahn: By the ancestors, what's gotten into you, my boy?

Sandal: Enchantment?

Bodahn: Hmph. That's more like it.

[/list]Now to dissect.

So "magic" will return and "everyone will be like they were", pretty much saying that everyone will become mages. This was implied elsewhere in the series, such as the Nexus Golem which says the following:

"We were once more than we are."


Once again, implying that everyone used to be something before. The elves also believe in ancient times that they used to all be mages, the talent slowly disappearing from them and creating their current race's limitations and powers.

So basically, everyone will become mages. Which is bad (or good, depending on how you see it).

Then we've got the "shadows" and how the "skies will open wide", where did we hear about shadows before? Oh right, the talking statue in the Circle of Magi of Ferelden:

"The prison is breached. I see the encroaching darkness. The... the shadow will consume all..." 


Seems they're related somehow, what could it mean? Perhaps the Veil--or it's creators--is the shadow? I mean, Sandal says the skies will open wide when the shadows part and the only "open" skies we've seen were in The Silent Grove, a flashback of the past:

Perhaps I'm stretching things too far, though I'd like to imagine them connected.

The "he" in the prophecy obviously refers to Urthemiel, nothing much more to share about this.

Now there's additional references to a common event found between both DAO and DA2.

The Nexus Golum--in it's knowledge--talks about light:

"The Gauntlet is passed. Only a Shaperate can bring the light. Conversion begins..."


What conversion? The conversion of everyone into mages? We have heard within DA2 casual dialogue that mage numbers have greatly increased in the recent generation, coinciding with the return of Dragons which occured at the start of the Dragon Age, almost 30 years ago.

What "light"? Well, there's also this dialogue from the talking statue in Origins:

"Weep not for me, child. Stone they made me and stone I am, eternal and unfeeling. And thus shall I endure 'til the Maker returns to light their fires again."


Well, another reference to "light". Perhaps unconnected, though worth a mention. You could also mention that the Shaperate--which are dwarves--have a connection to the stone, something the statue is made of. That's probably the biggest stretch I'll make but meh.

With all of Morrigan's talking about "change", I assume the conversion of everyone into mages is what she's speaking of and that's why people will fight against it. Her role in DA3 will probably be about trying to achieve this, Urthemiel having a role in it if perserved.
