Let's see if I can get the computer not to eat this again. For background, here are the posts I was replying to:
Estelindis:I confess that it kinda bothers me that Alistair, who can dump the PC
later on a matter of honour, will disapprove -10 if she doesn't sleep
with him when he asks. I mean, it struck me as somewhat unchivalrous...
(And the PC didn't really get an "I love you but I want to wait"
option.)
Caoil:I have to agree with Estelindis. Out of curiosity, is this the case with
the other romanceable characters (such as Zevran?) I imagine it
probably is.
Me: With Zevran, as long as you don't insult him when you turn him down
there is no disapproval at all. I am running a really innocent male
mage right now who bungled (as in didn't get to the tent) his attempts
to invite Zev to the tent and got approval every time, turned Zevran
down when Zev made the tent offer and then finally managed to consumate
the relationship.
Edit: With the Zevran romance, you can put
off going to the tent with him until after he makes a commitment by
offering the earring which doesn't happen until the Landsmeet.
*SPOILERS* To complete the romance with him, you must ask him to the
tent after that, and he will refuse out of confusion about his
feelings. The romance does not complete until you talk to him again
when he admits his feelings for the PC and offers the earring a second
time if the PC initially refused it unless it was a token of affection
and says that the earring is a proposal, "only if you wish it to be."
So the completion of his romance actually doesn't involve sex. You can
literally go off to kill the archdemon without having ever gone to the
tent with him. Kind of ironic given his reputation.
Crazy PM that resulted: how cn you compare that ****ing **** to alister. stfu and get off the thread. nobody wants to hear about that ****got.
I reported the PM when I read it. I was already a little weirded out by the Polyanna love-fest ignoring all other posters. Thus, my post in here. Didn't mean to start a war.
