Again, DA isn't a date game.

It would be enlightening for me to hear your definition of a dating game. I'd call a dating game one which plays out courtship with game mechanics ... Bioware definitely does that with all it's games in recent history.

The general feeling I got from your post is that IYO the romance events in DA are more important than anything else.

I wouldn't say more important, but more memorable (which I think is a bit of an indictment of DA writing).

That means that my understanding of english isn't as bad as I thought. The most common objective of dating games is  to achieve a romantic relationship choosing from some charas. In Japan they are really popular and are called "Otome". If a relationship to you in DA is more memorable than all the mess you're put throught during your wander in Thedas then we have nothing to discuss. It's unbeliavable to me but we will just keep going around in circle, and I don't want to waste my time. What if we agree to disagree?

because if Bioware wanted to do something popular they would have just do what the witcher did with romance: lots of hardcore sex, women as trading cards etc.

It was a lark and it was funny to me, it also was skipped in Witcher 2. Bioware games are much more dating games than either of the Witcher games were BTW.

I'm sorry, but you really don't get where the focus of this game series is...I can't help you with that

They want to do something good, and that's why so many people like this game so much even without fanservice.

Haha.

The eyes of the beholders have their own focus ... and their hands create a whole lot of LI threads on the front page of this forum as well. That said, I didn't say anything about the focus of the DA series ... I said Bioware games are much more dating games than either of the Witcher games.

Gamified romance is the essence of dating games ... are you disputing this is more of a focus in DA than in Witcher? Implied sex is handed out as prizes in Witcher 1 for quests, courtship itself wasn't gamified. Witcher 2 in the mean time mostly followed the romance with a fixed character in cut scenes, again no real gamification. While in Bioware games romance requires following the correct dialogue paths and accumulating influence ...

PS. I thought Otome were the female aimed subset of Japanese dating games?

I'll take it as a "Yes, we agree to disagree".

As far as I know the dating simulator are called Otome (in a manga that I'm currently reading a male minor chara plays Otome).

You're free to do so, you're wrong but you're free to do so. Just like I'll take that as trying to avoid the discussion of whether gamified courtship is more of a focus in DA than in the Witcher because you realise it's an unwinnable discussion

@Qyla(sorry 360 won't let me use the reply button) Anyway so what you are saying(your double post) is that we can't have a Qunari LI because we find them attractive? If you'll allow the hyperbole, then I guess elves or hell even humans shouldn`t be romance-able because people find them attractive, right? I mean, [Insert Deity of your choice] forbid the player actually finds their chosen LI *gasp*attractive! Physical attraction is the most basic reason for wanting to romance a person(in game or otherwise). I`d bet that a lot of people wanted to romance Morrigan based on her appearance before they even knew anything about her. Sidenote: If Gaider was still here, PinkysPain probably would have made him leave.

what with all the witcher vs dragon age they're both good games

Maybe, but as long as the message got across it was worth it ... no good can come from his current disposition and neither facilitating it by not being honest.

Bioware games have catered to fetishes for a while now (I'm betting more male nerds have played lesbians in Bioware games than real life ones). If he thinks that makes him a pimp then he should just get a fur fedora and be proud of it. Although in the current culture and mass acceptance of 50 Shades of Grey I think the comparison is needlessly crude, Bioware needs romance writers (with all that entails, fetishes and all) who are proud of their abilities in that regard ... bitterness towards being driven to give the players what they want leads to things like the ME3 endings.

In fact I'll make a prediction, I think the writers will at some point try to sneak a scenario past the editors where the LI meets a particularly gruesome fun-robbing end as a way to take revenge on all those nasty players who make gauche LI threads on their forums ...

Indeed. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but are over all quality works.

[Argetfalcon]

And qunari women have horns

[Ihatebadgames]

That's not a negative, Desire demons also have horns.

I wonder what female kossith do

[Argetfalcon]

I hope all the love interest have a reunion

[Argetfalcon]

is merrill gonna be here

[CARL_DF90]

I'm glad to see this thread is still going strong after almost a year in. It gives me hope, but does that mean it will actually happen? Who knows. That's the nature of surprise.

[IC-07]

Everybody wants dat seeeeeex.
Anyway, if she'll have hairy armpits, then I approve.

I thought the kossith li would be like miranda.you know defrosting the ice queen in that respect except you know with horns

[AmRMa]

Can you imagine a slender elf male or dwarf trying to romance a giant kossith female? She'd be "Leave me alone or I will crush you." kinda like Shale and Zevran or Morrigan and Sten. I hope we can get one as a companion to tease/flirt with but not actually romance - the dialogue would be entertaining.

[CARL_DF90]

Not to mention more insight into them as a people from her viewpoint.

examples are averted you romance zevran and morrigan.

And frankly if this was real life I think morrigan would be harder to romance than a tall girl with horns

[sandalisthemaker]

*wonders how this thread is still alive*

This is looking less and less likely. If we are to have a Kossith as a companion, it will almost certainly be male. (The guy in the trailer).
Who knows, perhaps you'll get your wish with a day one DLC female Kossith companion.

I meant dialogue wise- Zevran teases Shale and she threatens him and Morrigan flirts with Sten until he teases her back in his dry matter of fact way.

[Angrywolves]

not gonna happen.

Look at the dates of the bump and you'll have your answer. 

I would prefer to be a Tal Vashoth than romancing one.

That way people can just romance themselves.
