I'd like the option to connect two potential LIs to each other. For example, instead of wooing Alistair or Leliana, you could help them find each other. (Sort of like Aveline and Donnic, if both were also potentially romanceable companions).

A wedding option would be cool. Not an absolute necessity or anything, but would be a neat choice to have in a romance storyline

You might be in Ferelden when your dog is the closest one to the wedding party on the bride's side of the ceremony.

Out of all the stupid romance bull**** on this forum, this is actually a pretty good idea. At least it would allow the player to become more involved without actually becoming involved.

If it's not wedding, I would want to at least getting engaged. The romance portion of the game could be so much more interesting and rewarding.

It's not stupid, you're just bias.

Good idea I would really like to see this.

[Svanhildr]

I like these ideas!

No thanks, it sounds stupid. Planning a wedding is something you do after you've saved the world. It made sense for Aveline and Donnic to get married because they had plenty of time for it.

Marriage as a mechanic might work for games like Fable and Skyrim, where you can dawdle around an open world indefinitely without progressing the plotline at all, and all the NPCs have the personality of cardboard, but for a more restrictive, plot-focused game like the DA series, romance should continue to work the way it has.

And if you can only get married if it "makes sense for the character", then what is actually changing anyway?

Dragon Age is not Fable or Skyrim, and it shouldn't try to be.

Weddings? No thanks. I'm sure resources could be spend on more important things.

[Il Divo]

Eh, it's an idea, but for me Bioware games already place a bit too much emphasis on romance subplots. Like Dubozz, there's more interesting aspects to role-playing and choices that I'd like Bioware to focus on.

We're playing a different hero every release plaintiff, who cares what restrictions are lifted.Its not like we'll ever see these protagonist again.This isn't the same as playing shepard through a whole trilogy.You sir are just standing in the way of happiness and love.

[Rinji the Bearded]

i have to see it or it doesn't exist bwaaaah

no thank you, if i am going to imagine my character getting married, i'd rather it stay safe in the confines of my brain rather than bioware having to create some scene i may be unhappy with anyway

but the idea of two characters hooking up and it doesn't involve the PC?  that was a pretty cool idea, liked setting up Aveline and Donnic, favorite quest really because the dialogue was so amazing.  also would have liked to hook Carver and Merrill up, but alas... I can dream.

Thanks. 

I always wanted to feel more connected to my characters, but in all the DA games, I have yet to find a single "love interest" that I actually liked. But I still enjoy a good story, and romance is often an element of a good story. That doesn't mean it has to be with the PC, however. Just a thought.

I care. Romance should support and expand character development, it shouldn't be a shallow wish-fulfillment mechanic.

There is no "happiness" or "love" in Fable or Skyrim, the characters you marry and the children you have are empty husks, completely devoid of any sort of personality, and their existence has no impact on anything. These features would add nothing to Dragon Age.

The way people go on and on about it is stupid. Marriage and having babies? It's ****ing ridiculous. It's supposed to be a video game, not a life simulator. 

Furthermore, these 'romances' are just a cheap marketing ploy used by EA to attract female gamers who would otherwise play The Sims if the characters spoke a real language.

[Massa FX]

I like the married with children idea. I also enjoy skyrims hearthfire, although I wanted more control over decor. Not saying it needs to be The Sims, but if my avatar is evil, my home should reflect that if I want it to. At the same time, I don't want to be locked into a style of spouse, home, kids because of my avatars adventuring antics.

I just want the open options to do as much customization as possible.

BTW, I don't want this as DLC. It should be in the box feature.

(Demanding aren't I? But this is the only chance fans have to get their constructive feedback out before the game is made... so why be shy about stating what we want).

added note: DA:O has wedding bliss already. One of my wardens married the King!

MAKER YES!!!!!! When I saw this Alistair wedding mod for origins made free by a fan, it just made me think the Devs were slacking off.We should also be able to have babys like in Fable, come to think of it The Da team could take a few ques from fable.

Slacking off?  So let me get this straight, with ALL the options in Origins, you had only 1 origin (so 2 scenarios with male & female) that could end up married, one of those marriages being to Alistair and the other to Anora. And you wanted them to take the time to create a scene for JUST that origin?  I would hardly call NOT making something for a small sliver of the player base as 'slacking' off. 

Also, the only spawn there should be in the DA-verse is the dark kind.  I'll say it again, this isn't the Sims.  It isn't Fabled.  It isn't Skyrim.  

Why babies + marriage = best ending for some people constantly amazes me.  Babies != love.

You're arguing under the assumption that all marriage mechanics must exist that way.What if after a whole year of journeying and defeating the blight, the warden asked leliana to marry him, would that just be wish fullfillement? Would that lessen the romance? Keep in mind that these two have fought and struggled together for the whole ordeal.

I +1 this.  I would rather have less emphasis on romances and more attention on the actual gameplay and combat mechanics.  The only way I would support a wedding is if my spouse opened up a shop and gave me money or made me food (like in Skyrim).  Weddings and babies would be quite a story breaker for me.  In a time of war and great peril, I think there are more important matters to attend to... At least, that's how my character would think.

i'll take a marriage mechanic if i can also have divorce mechanic that allows me to take half of their stuff if i don't complete a pre-nuptial quest

[Ageless Face]

I'm not particularly fond of the idea, but if I won't mind others having the option- as long as marriage won't be necessary for the continuation of the romance. or worse, make the romance plotline like Skyrim or Fable's "romance". Ugh.
