Okay, so I want to throw around a few ideas for the devs and fans for the upcoming DA3. I do not expect this thread to be the book of law for the devs or anything like that; just little suggetions and nothing more.
Let's talk about romances in the game
Now, when I say "romances" I do NOT mean the sex scene we normally get at the end. This is fine I suppose, but right now I mean an actual romance. I imagine the wolrd of Dragon Age to have some really nice places; places that are perfect for romantic settings. Let's start with a male dwarf, shall we? Suppose our female human takes a great interest in our Dwarven male, or vise versa. Instead of the normal, "Hey, I like you and I'm interested in you." "Oh? I like you too! I have some issues, but help me with them and I'm yours." approach, let's flip it around a bit. Let one of them (the human or dwarf) bring the height difference into the mix; or their different cultures and lifestyles (if there are any differences there) and get them talking to each other. Maybe then, instead of just telling them you like them and a relationship is started, the two of them are actually talking about getting AROUND certain barriers that could otherwise prohibit such a relationship.
Next is an example of a female Qunari
Things can be REALLY interesting with this. Our human male can try to send hints of how he feels, only to be bluntly rejected; not because she's simply a mean Qunari, but because for her, there is no reason to even consider a relationship with a human who is smaller and probably weaker than she is. This isn't the overused formula of "the lady who must have her icy heart melted." It is simply about our male protagonist showing her even a SMALL reason to consider even batting an eyelash his way. So he talks to her about her people, her culture, whether or not she is from the Qun and if so what are her true feelings about it. We get him to show that he has an interest not in WHAT she is (A Qunari) but WHO she is (as a person). So he's talking to her, getting to know her, but also causing her to go from a blunt "no" to a "maybe this isn't as impossible as I thought." We can throw in a few conversations under a night sky, or maybe a good game of hunting or a show of strength (if she's not the under the stars kind of gal:lol:) Anyway, he gets all these little moment to buld their way to her heart, so at some point (maybe the middle of the game) she decides that maybe, just MAYBE overlooking such oddities, and differences is truly worth it....if HE is that person. And if it IS him, then maybe she is willing to risk her feelings, and cast her doubts aside for this smaller being, with the hopes that though it may not be an easy road ahead, it will certainly be a road worth traveling. From this point, the relation starts and moves on to a success or a failure depending on his actions throughout the rest of the game. Sooooo, what do you lovely gals and guys think about this? Does this sound like something you would want? Or hate? Or maybe you are simply indifferent about it all. Does it interest you or have no effect at all? Comment and let me know how you feel. Take care everyone :happy:
