Can you bone a dozen non-prostitutes just because your character says romance is meaningless and all s/he cares about is sex?


There are 11 possible non-companion sexual encounters/partners in Origins according to the wiki, though they are gated according to class, origin, etc. So not all in the same playthrough. But if you include Zevran who is fine for a casual fling, that rounds it out to a nice 12.

you can have pretty much unlimited casual sex in both DA games already...The Pearl and The Blooming Rose...



Not all the time at the Blooming Rose. Madam Lusine likes to be a smartass, especially when you ask her for the bad girl/boy special

I once got put in the back room with nothing but traps around me.


God, I'm reminded of that dwarf in drag at the Pearl now.

My range of emotions from that scene as follows:

I didn't mind the booby trap room.... but the idea of sicking one of the chantry preistess on us is far worst. To sit there and listen to her preach, and paying for it on top it off.

So there are. I would frown on that and remove it.

Hey, good idea. We should be able to initiate casual sexual encounters with Chantry priests.

You know if there are casual flings in the game, I hope the hero leaves that character's house afterwards like this:

David, in the game "Origins", the PC could have sex with a

witch
religious zealot
assassin (who was targeting you earlier)
a bastard heir to the throne (possible king depending on your choices)
Elves
Midgets
Transsexual
Nugs (animals)
A magic pole

etc etc etc

Honestly, I'm not overwhelmingly fond of the sex scenes in Mass Effect. And I've heard the ones in Dragon Age are far worse.

It doesn't cheapen the romances for me.

My last Hawke was a regular at the brothel, slept with Isabela, etc. However, none of that stopped me from crying like a little baby feeling emotional during the Merrimance scene (always cry feel emotional during it)


I'm not crying... it's just been raining...


...on my face.

Are you aware of how commonplace they were in the Middle Ages?

Truth be told, DAO is like Fallout 3 and  New Vegas:
With the correct mods, you can make the game be a sex simulator :lol:

Or how commonplace they are today? I used myself as an example for you.

I don't think the player should have the ability to have sex with ten women just because their character is that totally awesome when it just doesn't add much meaningful content to the story.


I do agree with this.

If a player character is going to be able to have flings with NPCs it should serve some purpose in the story, and not just be there for the sake of an achievement or wish fulfillment.

Again why? WHy can't things exsist to establish the character you are playing.


I don't think a fade to black and see ya later really adds much depth to the game.

If casual flings were in the game I'd rather there were consequences, both good and bad. Say for example an NPC seduces your character, only for it to later be revealed that the character is an enemy agent who ensnared you in a honeytrap.  While your character is sleeping and out of their armor, he/she is ambushed by an assassin sent by the game's Big Bad, and must now fight for survival without armor. Or perhaps your character needs a noble's support for something or other, and that noble isn't inclined to give it, but sex is used as a way of manipulating said noble into giving that support. Or perhaps the NPC is someone you run across on a quest, and the choice to have the fling either inadvertently causes that quest to succeed or fail. Or perhaps pillow talk with the new paramour reveals some crucial bit of intelligence your PC wouldn't have gained otherwise.

There are a lot of possibilities really. But if casual flings are in the game, it is better that they serve a purpose within the story than having them without a purpose.

What about convincing an NPC to do something by having your LI sleep with them? 

Now THAT would be good story-telling.

A chantry priestess (YES!) <3<3

A Templar from the Order (YES!) <3<3

This is my way to restore the peace between the Mages and the Templars.

Yeah, but those games aren't any good.

Especially Fallout: New Vegas. The story doesn't make any sense. I mean, why would Mr. House and the NCR be in conflict anyways?

Of course it can, shows the depth of devotion your partner has towards you and what a cold-hearted bastard you are. You could contrast that with the situation that demands such an action, where the ends justify the means. It's not clear-cut good and evil, but with the right writing, it's still very compelling.

No, not really, but that information is readily available if you're interested.
