I had one run through where at the very beginning I told Merrill she was sweet. I didn't flirt with her again through all of act 1- and was already starting things with Isabella- when Merrill shows up on my doorstep telling me I'm pretty. My only options were "yes come be with me' or "you're a loony who should be locked up for her safety and the safety of others". I would have preferred "I like you as a friend" or "I'm only interested in Isabella" or something else.

I'm fine with the mean break ups, I just want the original flirts to be more subtle. Like in Origins there were some nice ones, but Hawke was just like "let's do it".

Beg your sincerest apologies, then. Perhaps you'd like to give us all a list over Acceptable Topics for Real Gamers that you'd rather have us discuss?

Wanting an RPG that lets you build your character? *gasp* Preposterous! How dare they!

Yeah, well, killing stuff is all nice and fun, but I'm not playing DA for the oh so... um, awesome combat and ****. Or fancy stat numbers. Or... any number of things that aren't about story, characters, and, you know, role playing the character I created.

Exactly, umm, maybe you just showed up to Bioware games and haven't played any of them, but building your characters personality, looks and interactions with companions is a huge part of the game. And the reason people can still be playing five years after the games come out.  But still, lets see a more interesting topic for Mr. Garbage... Lets discuss the new companion armour set, oh wait, thats just discussing what outfits we want our companions to wear! Oh boy finding great discussion topic on these two bits of news we have isn't really easy.

I don't see any place where it says that to be a real gamer you have to not be interested in hairstyles or break up options. Actually- it seems like "gamers" are all over the board when it comes to demographics, likes, dislikes, and types of games played. According to most people who aren't you- a gamer is simply someone who likes games.  So just because we may have different things that are important to us in our games- it doesn't mean we're not gamers.

Personally, I hate games. It's why I spend all this time playing them and the discussing them with others. Similarly, I hate breathing. It's why I spend all this time inhaling and exhaling. Just for the hatez!!

I really liked the option in DA:O of the "it's not you it's me" responses to breaking a romance with someone.  In DA2 seemed like the break up conversations were really harsh and cruel.  I'd like a "let them down easy" option for DA3.

I support renegade options.
