I find Nate Howe rather homely but I'd love to have him as a LI. A broody gentleman with a wry sense of humor, ohhhh yeah!

[ImperatorMortis]

She better have a super special awesome personality. If she does. Then probably.

[SassySteve]

For the comedy? Yes.

well, in ME2 and ME3 I romanced a Turian. a scaly man with bird legs and dinosaurus face. and my second choise was a lizard man with enormous eyes and webbed hands. And my MaleShep romanced cthulhu's baby girl.

If the character have an appealing personality, I'd say, why no?
Everything depend by how the character is whritten. at least on my part. If the character is good looking too, is a bonus.

I also romanced Garrus in ME2 and ME3. (I also refused to romance anyone in ME1 because I couldn't have Garrus) For me it was his personality and his voice. So, if a character was not traditionally handsome/beautiful I could still romance them. I would have romanced Varric, and I didn't find him classically handsome. He was clever and had a killer voice though.
On the otherhand I could never have imagined romancing Sebastian (even with his sexy voice, and his handsome face) because he was a zealot. (and kind of a tool, in my opinion).

Depends. I roleplay and tend to consider the romance part significant so who my character romances depends mainly on with whom the appropriate sparks are flaring in the right way
looks can be a factor but a character can be striking or sexy yet still be ugly and sometimes other factors can completely over-rule looks

[karushna5]

Actually sounds not bad, I never thought Garrus looked good, especially when you see what Turians look like under the shirt. As long as they don't get depressed about their looks I dont see why not, could, with clever writing be a good plotline

[DarthLaxian]

hey...

what do you mean by "ugly" - really ugly as in making someone puke when looking at the "ugly" character or ugly as in wall-flower type character that does not look like anything special but can look good if he/she wants to (like Hermione Granger as described in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - where she looks stunning at the ball, but otherwise is described as a plain looking bookworm)

if it is the later, then yes at least i can be really sure that such a character has not much vanity (i hate that) and no princes/prince complex (thinking someone needs to worship them because they look good) if the character is interesting, then that would count in their favour, too

it might even work if you see that the character was once easy on the eyes but is no longer because say he/she has a disfiguring scar or something or it is a mature character (like Wynn - who I quite liked and would have loved to romance at least in my first play throughs - until i got that she loves the chantry/the circle and thinks everyone should be like her/listen to her) that was once beautiful and still is pretty (aged well, but no longer princess/prince-charming like beautifull)

so yes, i might romance such a character

A Steve Buscemi-like ugly rogue with a Manchester accent and charm to spare?

That's the kind of UGLY male LI I would like to see.

Even though the Desire Demon doesn't shave, I wouldn't mind a LI that is Desire Demon

[Skye Evergreene]

ABSOLUTELY. if the personality contradicts the face, I can deal with that

Reading this thread somehow reminded me of Sneff from Crono Cross. Sneff was so intentionally ugly that i figured his hideousness was used to mask his strength, and skills from players who were too vain to choose him for their teams. Basically i thought his strength was proportional to his ugly, and damn was i wrong, as he was weak and ugly.
 

I know I'm a little late to read this, but LOL! The only team I would use mostly is Serge, Glenn, & Grobyc. They were cool.

I just noticed yours and Todd's responses, and i agree. Plus Glenn with two Einlanzers, and Serge with Dario's Masamune was godlike.

Looks aren't the only thing that can make a person attractive and sexy. Look at many of France's male sex-symbols.

Jean Reno


Vincent Cassel


Gerard Depardieu


Daniel Auteil


Lambert Wilson

... are not great beauties by classical standards, yet admired for their undeniable charimsa nevertheless. Some of these men are even, I daresay, ugly.

Actually, I might never have romanced Fenris if his voice wasn't so divine. I didn't find his character the most attractive. I know he was based on his voice actor, Gideon Emery, who is a very handsome man. However, something was lost in translation between real life to animation for me.

Please don't hate me Fenris lovers!! hehe

[Yalision]

We talking like Hammer in Fable II? Yea, I probably would.

[Nashimura]

There is a good chance i would pick someone else over them....

[Mystch3vi0us]

I would not romance an ugly character. It's my fantasy world I can be as shallow as I damn well please.

[Chaos Lord Malek]

No.

[Ruairi46]

Man, Hammer was awesome.
I would have married her immediatly if it had been possible.

But really, it always depends on what kind of character you're playing. If you're the type who likes to self-insert and pretend they are the main character, then I can imagine it might not be very tempting to go for an ugly (in your eyes) character.

Let's say the LI in question is ugly, but has a very warm and compassionate personality. If my PC was a shallow bastard with a sociopathic streak, hell no, she wouldn't romance an ugly character. But if my PC was someone with a sad past, someone who needs comfort more than they're willing to admit, it's reasonable to think that they might feel drawn to this warmth, regardless of what the person looks like.

^^ the "real" roleplayers - i admire you guys (being able to seperate yourself from your character...i just can't my character is me, always)

ps: pug ugly - no that will not fly for me

[EpicBoot2daFace]

I don't romance ugly people.

[Noviere]

I don't know, really. It depends on what ugly means, I guess. They don't have to be a super model -- I romanced Thane and Garrus in ME, and would've romanced Aveline if possible(not ugly, but not traditionally beautiful/feminine). But if they are fat, have boils covering their face, and rotten teeth? Probably not.

indeed - Aveline (at least for me) was one hot woman! (yes she had her negative points like: she was married to a templar (big negative if you are a mage yourself/mage supporter) and she is "of the faith" (as in believing in Andraste) but other then that, she is hot - even more so because she is no traditional girl (not stupid dresses, shoes, handbags (do they even have those in Thedas?), lipstick and all that trash)


boils, rotten teeth are an absolute no go

fat? - well acceptable to a certain degree (no - not brood-mother like fat )

what might work - at least for me - is someone who might have lost a limb in combat/while dabbling in blood-magic or something or a lot of scars/wounds from abuse suffered (either as a child or as a slave)

what would not work is someone really letting himself go (unwashed, dirty, stinking etc.) and for a girl: beard/excessive hair or something (note: that is a no got, but other than that, i do not need a girl to shave her legs or something)

so yeah, i stil might (still depends on the character though)

Play "I am beautiful" while looking at this pic.
