You still don't get it
People in Thedas don't need marriage to symbolize their commitment. Marriage being for love only is a very recent development in our real life history. Social expectations and morality in Thedas is completely and utterly different.

I like my game romances but I have NO INTEREST in the developers wasting resources for weddings.
If I want that I'll play Skyrim or The Sims.
Skyrim's romances were the BEST.
"I see you are wearing a necklace. Although we have never had more than a 10-second conversation (and that one was about mammoth tusks), I think we should be married. Meet me there?"
And as you say "I do", your new spouse LITERALLY bursts from the room and vanishes into the night before you can even speak a word to them.
I'm not saying I want big crazy marriages and horrendously complex courting sub-games or anything, but if you're going to include romance, at least make it ... I dunno ... romantic.
They were pretty ridiculous in Skyrim. And my husbands always ended up.....dying.

That's great. Because nobody knew that was my personal opinion before you bolded it.Emzamination wrote...

They're a key aspect for marketing, but they amount to very little in-game. A poorly animated sex scene that last about 30 seconds isn't worth all the attention it's given. What you people are asking for already exists. It's called Fable. You can even get married online to other players.
I've bolded your personal opinion and it's a personal opionion because all the love struck starry eyed Fan girls making threads think quite the opposite of those statements.Why stop there? why don't we add dragons dogma and the witcher to the list of horrible repetitive unfeeling romances.I'd like to list the obvious issues with the whole player to player marriage thing but...obvious
Fan girls making threads about marriage and babies disagree with the idea that I find their idea of including a interactive soap opera in Dragon Age to be ridiculous. Seems like you're already stating the obvious.
Which brings us right back to their right (seen the sub-forums dedicated to romance?) and yours (where are the sub-forums for hating on romance?), Seems your the odd duckling out of place here, Boot :innocent:

As if that wasn't painfully obvious *cough* witch hunt *cough*.What we are arguing here is why you think people need to avoid marriage like the plague and you are doing a poor example of presenting your case.

i know, your poorly worded, ill-informed, and factually incorrect arguments are presenting a much better case for me

Your history is dead wrong.
The peasants of the European Middle Ages were 99% Catholic Christians. Sexual relationships outside of marriage were a sin against God. This was an era when everyone, especially the peasants, took the concept of sin very seriously.

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.

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.

Exactly, I never said when it should happen, just that it should.The video I linked is post origins.Why are kids and marriage restricted to the category of life sim? Fable and skyrim are Rpgs and the sims is a life simulator.These are two different genre with few similar aspects.

Seeing Aveline's wedding would have been a great piece but sadly happened off-screen. So, I'd be open to it.

This must be what it feels like to BioWare devs when amateur volunteer forum game developers tell them how to do their job better.

She has proved them incorrect. You just seem to have a reading comprehension issue or live in some alternate reality where world history is different.

This is the only moment that i can find a wedding being sensical during both games. It would be epic if your Hawke could troll the ceremony.hornedfrog87 wrote...

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.
