I loved Fall-From-Grace in Planescape for example, a Succubus that couldn't even kiss you, because that would kill you.


I hated that.  I liked Fall-From-Grace as a character and wanted to romance her, but frankly it never felt like a romance at all.  It felt like trying to romance someone and failing.

I though that was kind of the point of that thread.
i think it was a good romance idea but the way it is displayed/threated is what makes its emotional value.
that type relationship is right up the romantic (as in litterary genre) alley.
It is really a prime candidate for emotional cut sceen rather than physical ones.

In fact even having physical cut scenes is not mutually exclusive with emotional cuts scenes.
in fact that would help the flirting-- nothingtodowithya-kissing-nothingtodowithya--yeah baby yeah do we shag now or do we shag latter?-nothingtodowithya

Actually you bone most character outside of Leliana before they fall in love with you. So it's really just casual sex for everyone.


Um, no.  Alistair, even though the threshhold is "adore" and not "love" is most definitely not casual.  He thinks he's in love before he goes to the tent; he knows he's in love if he's the one who does the asking.  For Morrigan and Zevran, you can have it at a time before they fall in love, but they're monogomous, and they both hit a point where they insist upon monogomy as well.  In fact, Morrigan is the one character who will not, under any circumstance, join the warden and Isabela. 

In DA2, there's no meter that indicates romance, unfortunately, so I suppose how the NPCs actually feel is up to the player.

I honestly get your point and I agree with you. DAO romances were much better then DA2 but do remember 2 was rushed because of us fans and some other things. They had good concepts going on but in a whole they ended poorly. They even messed up on Sebs DLC because in origins Shale is a dlc but they included her in the ending moments. Seb doesn't get a mention in the slightest, not even if you romance him. The best you get out of that romance is probably you and your sister bickering if you have the other DLC's.
It's the same for the others. They don't care if your character is in trouble really. So hopefully they will go back to origins and they will take from that and NOT DA2.
