The possible consequence of pregnancy would add another element to romances...not to mention many moral and ethical possibilities.

Also, i'm pretty sure everyone here knows the rights of women so I don't even know why you're bringing it up in this thread, try to be more relevant please.

#Equality

I'm all for #Equality, but i'm not for turning something into something it's not.

Wasn't really a criticism towards you mate, Swedish Feminists has just kinda ruined the words "Female Rights" to me, so I prefer to call it the quest for equality.

Aerie could get pregnant in BG2, I belive.

 Uhhhhh.....NO, that would be stupid and it would open up combat limitations.

If she were pregnant during an actual campaign, she would have to sit the rest of the game out, otherwise she'd risk having a miscarriage every time an enemy lands a critical hit, a fire/ice/lightning/poison, etc-spell, or fall/jump from any great height or a knife to the gut.

And even after the child was born, she would still have to stay behind to raise the little bastard(s). That is unless she can find a way to pawn the kid off on some other NPC, while mommy goes out to kill some Darkspawn and evil mages.

Then there are the usual story troupes would pop up---she(and the kid) would eventually become a "liability" to the protagonist when your group inevitably pisses off the wrong people and she(and the kid) is used as a bargaining chip, or trap bait, or killed just for dramatic effect.

The ONLY time pregnancy works is during the epilogue after everything is resolved.

No, but people could just have the option to say "No i don't want a child."

or not romance that character.

There are plenty of possbilities.

Given that Bioware is going for everyone being able to be romanced by all genders etc, so not to single anyone out - I bet you would be able to impregnate a man as a male PC, or a woman as a female PC. For simplicity

Ah, along the lines of the Arnold Schwarzenegger route.

People are actually campaigning seriously for in-game pregnancy......? Same morons who are so worried about MP taking up developer time I don't doubt. What I want to know is why this forum cares so little for gameplay. Every thread is either aesthetics, lore, romance or companion related and all the "big" threads are these boring topics. No one actually cares about gameplay. The specific gameplay threads get about 3 pages and die. I feel like I am starting to understand why Bioware games have taken such a huge turn for the worse these past few years. They spend too much time reading these forums. Forums which are disturbingly short on any kind of actually useful feedback.

It doesnt even end there. When you actually attempt to get a discussion about gameplay going you get dozens of useless "it feels fun" or "it feels fast" or "it feels difficult" posts. Specifics are few and far between. Tell me did this forum actually ever have any *gamers* post?

Well...gameplay IS tied to the lore in roleplaying games.

 Eh, sure, why not?

I don't think it should be the entire focus of the game, but it would add a hint of realism. Perhaps add sheepskins to the merchants to avoid pregnancy. 

Let's be honest, this isn't going to happen, but it wouldn't be a horrible idea if implemented correctly. 

I agree, I don't want it to happen if it's not done correctly or handled carefully. Either it's done right or not at all.

Because gameplay is boring and mechanistic to talk about, and relatively few people see themselves as genius game designers. People feel more confident talking about story specifics than gameplay specifics and how to specifically tune game mechanics.

Relevance of this post? No i don't see it. In order for your post to have a thimble of relevance, people would have to have actually made those links to gameplay in those awful lore threads, but that isn't actually the case.

Opinion stated as a fact into being wrong. Yawn. Gameplay =/= pure theorycraft and math

YAWN

Tell me does everyone on this forum pounce on any chance they get to be overly self righteous about nothing?

Or, it could be an issue where people have no qualms with the gameplay or mechanics Dragon Age had.

That, or they have nothing to talk about since we have no video of the current gameplay elements.

Oh my bad I didn't realise you had so much information on the current game regarding lore/story/companions/other garbage. Could you link a source please m8 it's good to know theres a reason people spam so many useless topics about that trash, can't w8 to browse thru it all.

lol

As a matter of fact, the OP posted this as a joke, he hates romance and "loves" gameplay.  He tried a classical bad faith debate tactics of creating a straw man pretending this is what we romance fans want,  and then proceeding to happily tearing it down, which you are doing with gusto. Right on schedule too.

I was being charitable and arguing the idea on it's merits: it won't work and I personally would not enjoy it. But I said it politely and didn't accuse anyone of bad faith posting, not even th OP. Being as you accused me and others of not being "true gamers" then you get the prize. You sir are a troll happily dismantlung an invented fake argument that your own side created to discredit people who like story related content.

Forgive me for not reading through yet another of the countless trash threads you get on this forum. Can you find it in your heart to believe me m8? I also find it amusing that you of all posters label me a troll. The amount of trash posts to your name is utterly startling

Why can't companions be pregnant towards the end of the game? You still won't see the babies.

Some people here seem to believe that because a character is pregnant, that must mean there has to be an actual birth in-game. That is not true. Just because a character gets pregnant, does not mean there needs to parenthood or drama between characters. If this idea gets implemented and it is a companion (there wouldn't be more than one), as with all romance paths in Dragon Age, you aren't likely to see disputes between characters.

Since there is no way to find out if someone is pregnant in the DA universe, and such a concept as impregnation never comes up after sleeping with a companion, you will inevitably be forced to choose between companions (like in DA:O). BioWare would not go so far as to say that if you choose one over another, the other one will always be pregnant. They would more likely say that the one you chose would get pregnant, but only that character, so that that character would have their romance storyline follow this concept.

  I suppose they could but then why is it important if theres no drama then its there 'just cause.  "Oh by the way Im pregnant lol have fun in that epic final boss fight!" ...   So if I choose Anna over Betty, Anna is going to get pregnant no matter what and that is her romance arc, that is what defines her as a character "the one who gets preggers"? Great story writing there. What if I as a player dont want that forced upon me? I just cant romance her? So I have two romance options left, Jeff and Betty whom I already pissed of by picking Anna over her great now I guess its gay or nothing well this sucks what happened to choice? Speaking of which what about gay romance? They just dont get that part of the game?  Yeah that seems fair. What if Ive headcannoned my character as sterile... Well damn looks like Anna's been doing the deed behind Johns back or alternatively "tough **** its our character not yours"... Way to alienate your players.  Thats not even touching on how the hell she is going to fight while pregnant, I mean Im sure shes probably very capable even so but that cant be good for the baby...

tehehe, nah, too old for this BS. Troll is getting personal and I don't appreciate getting talked this way and don't have to take it.

He probably needs to be put on a drunk tank, was reading some other posts of his today and he is being rude all over. Waste of time engaging him.
