well us guys got stuck with morrigan which is also a real kick in the balls if your a straight person (I actually romanced morrigan on my first playthrough because well...I still hadnt given zevran a chance yet since lol gay elf)



the alistair temptation i do admit there are parts of him I like but the more I play the more meh i get towards him as a whole...

Really, CZ, since I did the Zevran romance my first playthrough as well, as a dumped elf, I was completely blown away, but it also didn't work the best because it's not designed to be done that way. Without the game being modded, for instance, you're going to get that same before and after discussion, but after he's declared his feelings, which is more WTF than anything.



But still, I couldn't help but compare what Zevran says to the warden after he falls in love compared to what Alistair says. I understand the reasoning, I understand the story -- still, what Zevran says after he's in love is just incredible. It's that desperate needing to be closer despite everything he believes instead of the pulling away because of duty.



I just like the story better.

This interests me more than usual as I'm working on the first of two "Chains" entries that detail Cadryn's time before/in the Circle....  And I share your rage at the shared body models, though I understand why they are as they are.

Ooooh. :wub:  I love seeing how people set up their mages in the Tower, they vary so wildly...  I suppose because we get so little to work with in that regard.

Also, somewhat expanded version of Devin's background ^^;

@ejoslin, Thank you! I was creating her  today and one of the face presets I have had the scarred face and red eyes and I thought, hmm, I can make this work. You never see pc's with a disfigurement rarely if at all. So I decided to break the mold.

@jenovan, Thank you too! Your backstory is amazing, I hope to have Tamasi fleshed out to that degree soon. And yes, those damn body models<_<.

I am gonna lol hard when Tamasi gets to Cullen.I can't help but picture the story of Ugra on youtube. But Tamasi is WAY hotter then Ugra.B)

I didnt romance Zevran till my 3rd playthrough with my Dwarf noble and I only did that because I found the idea(and still do) of a Dwarf having gay sex with an elf of all things utterly hilarious...and Zevran ended up becoming one of my favorites lol


seriously Zevran did not give me a good opening impression AT ALL (im also biased against elves)


with morrigan theres no possiblity for rebound romance at all since you know the whole demon god baby doesnt happen until right before the seige of denerim but I liked her romance...its well acted for the most part (then again Claudia blacks voice is swoon worthy and im gay) and by most part I mean every part but that god awful "its cold all alone in my tent" line she gives when she wants nookie for the first time

also hearing her reaction to leleina staring at her brests is just funny

I hate, HATE the way she sounds when she says that. She was like, "It cold all alone in my tent." And my male's happy parts got a lot less happy. ":sick:Yeah, that's great...I'm gonna go talk to Zevran "

that was the one bad part of the morrigan romance (kick in the balls ending excluded)

hearing her reactions if you allow her to decide if she wants to nookie you after the first time is hilarious as well as if you order her to the tent (she has several different replies)

Morrigan as a friend is amazing as well, I think. I agree about her voice -- as a straight woman I find it swoon worthy as well. She's one of my favorite characters, but I think my reaction would have been exactly the same as it was when Alistair dumped me character. Absolute disbelief.



Did you do the ritual your first playthrough? I did not. I didn't trust Morrigan and had "grey warden duty," and "avatar of goodness and light," a bit mixed up. That was such a fantastic ending, though the companions ended up being jerks about his sacrifice. But the final kiss -- it's amazing.

I havnt managed to not do the ritual any more  lol I cant bring myself to kill off my main character or Loghain/Alistair like that for some reason (iv done it for the acievements but not for role playing and even then I reloaded before the stabby dragon scene)

though nowadays I tend to lets Alistair/Loghain do the nocking up (see Xanders reaction to sexy time with morrigan pic I posted a few pages back as to why I cant let my characters do it any more)

I have to admit, seeing Xander  look terrified was an interesting novelty. :innocent:

Hah!  I dearly wish a male mage could flirt with Cullen, the reaction could be the same in the end and everything... :lol:

YAY! I'm famous.  That's actually a good article.  I think it captures very much what the marriage is about in Ferelden, but still giving the nod that the marriage can also be about love.

Edit: The marriage of nobility, that is.

Yeah, my first time playing through, I was pretty upset about the possibility of my elf mage dying. She was going to rebuild the Wardens with her handsome, cheese-loving Templar! So when Morrigan offered the Dark Ritual I immediately told Alistair to do her.



I want to live!!!



Anyway, nowadays, I "roleplay" that my girls originally say no and Alistair defies them and do it anyway. Makes it more interesting than snapping at Alistair and him immediately jumping.

As long as they don't start stalking me, I'm happy with it!  Actually, she quoted me with my permission.  I'm glad she wrote the article.

It's a very good article. And she conveyed the frustration some of us felt when we found out he wouldn't marry you unless you said it specifically or that you HAD to be a human noble, to the letter.

Gah, now I'm thinking about installing the equal love mod and doing an Alistair/Aeden hookup!

Edit: JUST to see that look on Aeden's face. :wub:

Ooooh, I didn't even think about that. I've been using the console to spare myself Zevran breakups when doing various testing of mods -- for some reason it didn't occur to me that I could use it to turn on an Alistair/male warden romance.
