A BioWare game without romance options is like a Call of Duty came without shooting.

If DA3 had no romance....

The Streets would run red with blood and semen as a million freaks fled there homes unleashing there anger, despair, and horny-ness on every man, woman, Animal, and Child in sight. The world as we know if would come to an end. Only with the use of Tactical Nuclear Weapons on almost every major city could the situation be resolved.

I don't mind a DA3 with no romance option. But I wouldn't say no to a Bann Teagan romance >_>

I would as long as the characters are good. What I look for in a game is good character development.

[ejoslin]

I currently don't know if I'm going to play DA3 period. I've seen no information about it at all, though I like what I know so far about the DA universe. If it looks like a game I would enjoy, I'll buy it, regardless of whether there's romance or not.

[Quyk Sylvyr]

I certainly wouldn't be as eager to purchase the game if it didn't have romance. I actually sort of look forward to the romances even though they're a bit silly at times. I'm also much more likely to replay bioware games because I like seeing the different romance options. That also means I'm more likely to purchase DLCs when doing a replay.

Then a big part of what makes Bioware games so special would be missing. They have always been better than their competition when it comes to characters and interacting with them, take that away and the game gets a lot closer to be a generic fantasy RPG.

IMO the romantic subplots and NPC's are one of Biowares biggest strengths, not only are they the only company to make substantive relationships a big part of the game experience but some of the strongest gameplay comes NOT from Biowares stellar and innovative ability to produce a uniquely crafted gameplay experience ROFLMAO LOL!!

but from Biowares ability to create characters that worm their way into your heart, characters that really get you the player emotionally invested in the game so you want to play it through to see not so much how your PC turns out but how the LI and other NPC's turn out.

Take away the romances and Bioware is just doing what everyone else does and fact is they do not always do it better. Lead with strength. Characters and NPC's are biowares strength, but hey, I don't really care one way or the other because Romance subplots or not I will not be playing a Bioware game until I have spoiled the ending for myself on youtube and read many user reviews to make sure its good and not the suck like ME3.

[The Spirit of Dance]

I'd be a little disappointed that the feature was removed from the series, but of course I'd still play it. The romances aren't the most important part of the game; they're just there to make your journey slightly more interesting.

Well have you considered that maybe that's the problem? You seem to think they are lacking in core gameplay inovations (something i happen to agree with) but do a good job with romances and getting the players emotionally invested in the characters. That's all well and fine but i just think that should come secondary and should definitely not be Bioware's main focus.

[Swagger7]

Yes. I enjoy romances and would be sad if we didn't get any, but there are many other things in DA that still make it worth playing.

[obsessedwjpn]

My question is, why is there a thread about this? Bioware games have romance in them, it's been that way for many games and will continue because many players like having that aspect in the game, including me.

I personally find nothing wrong with a game being entirely about romance either because I play Japanese dating simulation games for women and they sell like hotcakes in Japan as well as in many other countries. It is obvious that those types of games do well and I think Bioware having romances available adds to who will buy the game.

Remember, the romance in Bioware games is entirely optional thus I see no need to not have it in a Bioware game. If there was no romance in Dragon Age 3 I would still buy it and play it but I would suggest that Bioware return to their original formula of including romances since a lot of players, including men as well as women, enjoy connecting with their companions on such an intensely emotional level.

For those that do not like the romance, realize it is optional and that there is no need for you to complain about having it in "your" game. Romance sells so I think it only makes sense that Bioware should have it in their game as an option seeing as how awesome their character writing skills are.

I can agree with you there but when has the romance EVER been Biowares main focus, from my experience it was always something extra added and for me it always boosted Biowares games up from just an rpg to oh, how novel these characters care for my character neat. and in subsequent dialogue exchanges I was continually impressed with how they well they tried to craft the illusion of real romance within the confines of the story.

fact is as someone else posted without the romance its just one of many rpgs available to choose from and now there is nothing to set it apoart from the others in its genre.

But thats my opinion. and not a very strong one at that.

I don't know if I'm going to get DA3 as it is, having romances cut would be a big mark against it for me just like lack of race selection. Romances are a way of delving more deeply into the characters, they add another dimension to the story. Things I look for in an rpg are:

-Great characters
-Lots of character building/choices for the PC
-Romances
-Race selection
-Twitch/player skill based combat
-An engaging plot that makes me care about what's happening
-Plentiful and interesting sidequests
-Great voice acting
-Exploration
-Detailed, interesting, and unique environments
-Good looking armor/clothes
-Powerful, memorable music

The things present in DA2:

-Great characters(party only)
-Lots of character building/choices for the PC
-Romances
-Race selection
-Twitch/player skill based combat
-An engaging plot that makes me care about what's happening
-Plentiful and interesting sidequests
-Great voice acting
-Exploration
-Detailed, interesting, and unique environments
-Good looking armor/clothes
-Powerful, memorable music

Take away romances and that's just one less reason for me to play the game until eventually there's nothing left that I look for. However in the (highly unlikely) event that they added all the crossed out things for DA3 at the cost of romance, I'd be totally on board.

A Bioware game without tacky romance plots would certainly go a long way towards making video game writers look like actual writers as opposed to fanfic enthusiasts.

The reality of it is that Gaider and the team are primarily interested in writing homosexual smut and marketing it to underage kids.

It's interesting, is it not? Many people here talk about romance feverishly, so I decide to engage the community with a simple question: If DA3 had no romance would you still play it? I found it funny that this thread resurrect itself after the influx of surging romance threads.     

[Wrathra]

Nah, I don't think so, though to be honest I'm on the fence about DA3 anyway, Would just be another nail in its coffin.
