From what i know our body cannot stand the shock, because our body is not fit to hold the burden, our heart too, it is a sudden boost that make our whole body are unstable. That is why most sexual active people die early, today people are average live only 40 to 50 years...


You're either a troll, or your worldview is very confused. Vampires - sex or otherwise - do not exist. Neither do auras, for that matter. There is no link between pre-marital sex and a reduced lifespan. I live in a liberal Western nation (Australia, to be exact) where pre-marital sex has been common for several decades and the current average lifespan is around eighty-two. (My grandparents somehow both survived past eighty-five despite having sex before they got married, if my mother's birthday is anything to judge by. Shocking!)

Moreover, speaking as someone with two thirds of a Ph.D in Renaissance history, I can tell you that pre-marital sex was not invented yesterday. It's been going on since marriage was invented. I guess it was all pre-marital sex before then ...

Back on topic, I'd love it if the writers and developers would cherry pick what worked from each of the two Dragon Age games. I loved Isabela's rivalmance more than I can say. Zevran, once debugged, was a delight. The cuddling and the ability to get a kiss whenever desired, mostly thanks to mods, is terrific.

Holy cow, some people here have shared more about themselves than we could ever hope from our DA romances.

Learning the deep dark secrets (and education level) of our characters, for the win?

 I would love deeper, more involved romances as well as family interactions. I love it when the relationship is mentioned by companions or the LI in banter, conversations, or cutscenes.


Lmfaoooo :crying: This thread is hilarious.

Anyway, QFT.. If family is even involved in this game, I'd love for it to be shown more. Jeez, Hawke lived with her mother and never spoke to her. It just sucks because, if I found out about some crazy serial-killer attacking women, I would've told my mom. I woud've talked to her about Fenris, too. =(( And she'd talk about our glowy, flat-ear babies. Or that she felt his Lyrium would make their Hawklings prodigy mages. =''((((( Or like Sandal.

The origins romances suited the characters more. Zevran and Morrigan would sleep with you easily but it's difficult to get them to commit, Alistair and Leliana where more about building a relationship with trust and love, then came the sex.

in DA2 Isabella offers you sex upon meeting her but you can't sleep with her until act 2 just like everyone else regardless of their personality. Yes there is a bit more to the relationships in DA2 but I think that is just because there is more companion story content in DA2.

Andrastee used logic, I doesn't affect Quistina.
Back on topic though.
I loved the depth you could get into with characters in DAO Compareing Zevran and Fenris' mini breakup in the middle of the relationship, Zevrans lasted as long as it took you to talk it out with him. Fenris' appearently took three years with no disscussion. The DAO romances felt like they developed constantly while the DA2 ones were stagnant for years at a time.

In DAO Isabella will jump into a threesome with a hardened Alistair and female warden, or Zevran and anybody..LOL
The warden can also seduce poor innocent DE Cammen and Gheyna just for fun. And ruin their lives.

That was, IMHO, the most evil thing you could do in the whole game.

That is not "male dominated science;" it is just basic common sense.


It is, no matter how much you spin it. The only people I know with an impulsive want to breed, are young males...or people influenced by religion. I certainly have no desire for children...and never have had any impulsive behaviour about it. You're just spouting more male insecurities.


uh when you say breed do you mean try to have kids or have sex for fun. if kids then I doubt it for man or women that it would be gender specific if you mean for fun then you are saying women never have a strong sex drive and I have met many women who have some that make most men seem like a 90 year old men when it comes the their drive.

I love leliana and alistar romance but issabelas romance for rival and friendship romance were the best in DA universe so far

Where on earth do you get that information? You do need good health to be sexually active -- it promotes the hormones that keep you young so it's a good thing. I'm in my 40s and my husband is in his 50s and, well, we're healthy. Most people think we look younger than we are as well. Neither of us seem to be in any danger of dying very young. A strong libido is a sign of good health, not poor health, and it helps keep you healthy (though eating well and staying active also help).


that is because you are married...married couples have positive magnetic charges that keep you and your husband healthy, this magnetic charge that prevent the vampires to steal your energy, and it make peoples see you positively, young, happy and energetic

We can see through "sight beyond sight" the differences between married couples and unmarried one...there's some auras that coating married couples

someone reads alot of self help books and such. also how did vampires get into this listen most of you info is bull

Yes, the warden can mess with both of the Dalish Elves Cammen and Gheyna, bed them both and then tell the other one about it. I have never done this, but heard it can be done. It is a mean thing to do, but some people like to play like that, after all it is an RPG and anything goes :P

...You are being serious? The priests in Medieval Christendom were all men, the 'priests' in thedas are only women except for Haven who pretty much ends up destroyed in my playthroughs. Girls couldn't be warriors, only exception to this was Joan of Arc who was pretty much badass I admit, but sort of on the crazy side as well with reason.

If Thedas was completely a hundred percent based on medieval europe, there would be a lot of rape involved, Women wouldn't have an important role either, so don't base Thedas on history or even write 'nearly' And now please lets stop this and just get back to topic instead of getting a thread locked for nothing.


In DA:O we get a remark of being an exceptional woman because being a warrior..."But you are not an ordinary woman, you can best all the men in battle or outside" Ser Gilmore say

Cousland mom also mention about finding you a husband and playing with sword will not find you a husband. Cousland mom retire being a warrior and having a normal noble wife

Leliana story about Aveline says that women being accepted as a warrior is by a decree from Orlesian king who sympathy. The Orlais girl in Denerim tell that in orlais women got raped everyday, that is why she going to Ferelden

See...DA:O remain true to medieval-ish nature....but DA2 is not

Edit : Howe said to papa Cousland : "It is because you trained her as a warrior...that is....unique...."


Aveline of Orlais was in 8:4. The timeline in DA: O is different, they changed, women have more freedom than Medieval Europe did.

Edit: and of course Ser Gilmore is going to say that, was he supposed to say "You are horrible, you can't even hit properly, go play with dolls" if the game forced you to be male, and was completely sexist toward women like Medieval Europe was.. then there wouldn't be any other DA games. 


This is a point on which I can actually agree with Qistina, off-topic as it is.  Origins was supposed to present this world that was totally free of sexism, as if sexism had never existed, rather than having existed and then being obliterated.  But Origins is chock-full of countless bits of dialogue that just show that the writers don't know actually know how to portray such a world.  All those references that Qistina listed, and a ton more I could point do, are things that WOULD NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!!! in a world that was truly egalitarian and had always been.  It's one of the reasons I think that in certain ways DA2 was superior to Origins.

Of course, I'm also aware of what Bioware WANTED to present, and even with all those irritating little bits the entire morality of the fictional world is still radically different from medieval Christendom.


I got a question I'm guessing you had infomation stating in writing that "DA is sposed to be a world without sexism" because if its not in writing your just blowing smoke..


No, I'm not blowing smoke; It is something I personally know to be a fact, however, because I first came across it directly from a Bioware Dev's mention. There were several references to this waaaay back when I first started playing Origins, from official sources, and the point was commented upon before in various places.  No, I can't provide chapter and verse proof of this, as it's been years, so yes, I'm aware of the whole "quotes pics or it didn't happen," thing.  And that's all the time I'm going to spend on this.

Actually, I'm almost positive that it says this in the Origins CC when you first choose your character's gender.

Hope that helps everyone.

I have to admit, when I opened a thread titled "sex and love in Dragon Age games", I did not expect to read about vampires.

Sex is tiring, because you use a lot of energy, your heart beep more than going marathon, you also use your inner energy, the Chinese said you use your Chi, you lost it in sexual intercourse. That is why you will sleep, or your knee feel weak or numb...a sportsmen will not having sex if there is tournament tomorrow, because they will not have enough energy

Actually, that's caused by oxytocin, and it helps you sleep much better, but it doesn't weaken you the next day.[/quote]

It's also not universal.  One of my friends has periodic issues with her husband because sex relaxes her and makes her sleepy, but it acts like a jolt of caffeine for him, so much so that it's his best way of making sure he's alert and ready for the day.  Which is much ado about nothing, really, it just comes to mind whenever people talk about sex having soporific effects.
