The Warden can sleep with Isabela in Origins, and if he was an Amell, his cousin Hawke can have an actual romance with her.

That had to be really weird when they eventually added 2+2. 

Isabella:"Oh. We did that. I mean. It was good. :blush:But after your cousin I thought... Never mind.:unsure:"

my warden would gift the inquisitor and morrigan 3 very nice daggers from the first blight then walk away.

Obviously it isn't going to happen, as confirmed by David Gaider.

But *if* Gaider or one of the other devs decided to go that route, I wouldn't have cared so long as it was in character for that character. It would actually be more shocking if Zevran or Isabela remained faithful.

Having a splint personality is all sorts of fun.

You should take a look at the thread where I suggest romancing yourself through your past and present pc.

[DarthLaxian]

well, i would not feel "cheated" or "betrayed" at all, if a past LI (that one of my canon-characters (meaning mage-warden, male (race does not matter much here) who romanced Morrigan and Male, mage-hawke (with either Isabela or Merril - have not decided which one i will use) romanced) is "available" again.

why?

because my Warden and my Hawke both "dissapeared" (dead? imprisoned? kidnapped? etc.) years ago and i would hope no one is so cruel to expect another person to remain single and alone all their live just because the one person they were in a relationship with is no where to be found? (if so, i must say i think you are very creepy...i mean, i would not expect say my step-mother to stay single if my dad died (and vice versa)...it is cruel and it IMHO does not work out that way most of the time!)

greetings LAX
ps: And: I for myself would love to go after an "old" LI (to see if they changed at all - personality growth etc.)

Me too.

And mine. I hope "The Keep" will prevent stuff like that from happening. I'm not even sure what to do with those saves.

More importantly, how about flirting with Hawke or Warden as our Inquisitor?

[Fishy]

It's not has much has cheating for me, but rather I want to see new romance and new character. I played so much Origin. So romancing again Morrigan or Leliana ^ Ug .. No thanks. I want to explore new cool personalities. hell I don't really want them has companion either. Maybe provisory  companion for a quest or 2.. But all game long. No way. I had them for companion . Enough is enough.

Plus anyway .. It's would be kind of lazy. Thedas is big and fulll of people. By sake banana split I don't want to romance the same character. That would be so boring.

bleh.

What about you guys? How would both you and your Warden/Hawke feel if the Inquisitor started to make moves on their significant others?

I'm apt to do many things with the story that some players might not like, but putting their PC in a situation where they're forced into cognitive dissonance-- such as having them romance someone who, in their timeline, is supposed to be connected to a previous PC... no, even I have my limits.

You da man!

I actually don't mind my LI cheating on me with me

I didn't get the OP concerns or the Gaider's response. I admit it would be shocked or surprised if for example, Morrigan began flirting with my Inquisitor considering the story she has with my Warden. And, independently of the explanation provided in the game, the ****storm here in the BSN would be colossal.

But we are talking about a RPG. We are the player, and the Warden and the Inquisitor are two different characters we roleplay. Maybe with very different agenda. Let's say we put Alistar in the Ferelden throne in Origins. And the Inquisitor must replace him in order to organize properly the resistance against the enemy. ¿Are we betraying Alistair? Not at all. The same with romances.

[Iakus]

If the LI cheats on you, then the person isn't really a LI, now, are they?

[gisle]

If the LI is no longer with the previous PC, and doesn't tell the Inquisitor about it, it would be entirely meta to see this as wrong from your Inquisitor's perspective as he/she has no freaking idea.

If the LI does tell the inquisitor about it, it depends entirely on how you role-play your character: does he/she give a damn about it?

I might be a bit biased on this topic, since I don't really care for LIs as much more than a small part of the game.

As silly as the idea is, I'd rather they not do that.

Also, there was waaaay more wrong with the Jacob romance than just the cheating, lol.

Thank you, David! <3

Ahahahah I'd love this. There should also be an in-game link to the inevitable despair it causes in BSN. Perhaps Inquisitor could somehow draw this despair and use it as mana?

[dalethfc]

Leave the old LI's to their Warden/Hawke.
Hmmm Make Cassandra an LI she looks awesome.

Besides, My Warden would be heart broken if Leliana cheated on her.  Then hunt down the inquisitor.  Same for my Hawke if the ****tern forgets she's taken

Dun dun duuuun! Leliana did cheated with your Warden by having a lesbian encounter with the infamous Isabela

That scene only occurs if the Warden was a participant in that encounter. So no, it wasn't cheating.

It wouldn't really matter all that much to me, although it would depend on the LI (only did the male/female romances so I have no idea how the male/male ones developed/ended).

In DAO, my warden always ends up with both Morrigan and Leliana at 100 Love (do Morrigan romance, break up, do Leliana romance, party with Isabela, give Morrigan her mirror gift just before heading to the Landsmeet which brings her back up to 100 Love...then don't talk to either one again so they don't get a chance to complain).

Warden/Morrigan - Wouldn't make too much sense to me that Morrigan would be involved in something like this...even if my Warden doesn't go through the mirror with her (which they always do). Even if she and my warden were no longer together, I would think that she would rather focus on the task at hand and not let another "relationship" muddy the waters...but who knows?

Warden/Leliana - After getting the letter from her in Awakening, the writing was on the wall...plus the way she talks about the warden in DA2 makes it seem like the relationship in a thing of the past. So, I would be surprised if she didn't take the opportunity to "knock boots" if the "right" person came along.

Hawke/Isabela - I would be REALLY surprised if she didn't take an opportunity to step out on Hawke...old habits die hard.

Hawke/Merrill - It wouldn't seem to be in character for her to do this, but who knows?

I would rather focus on new people rather than recycled ones, but it wouldn't make all that much difference to me if this path was available. After all, it's not like the Inquisitor would be reluctant to pursue a woman that once was in a "serious" relationship with the Warden or Hawke...not his problem (at least that's the attitude my Inquisitor would take).

Isabela is making reference to a threesome (or foursome) in DAO. In any case, it isn't cheating as the Warden was one of the parties involved.

This is the scene that is being referenced in DA2. Or alternatively, this.

I was Joking around with some friends about how if Hawke wasn't around in Inquisition, and Fenris was, I'd totally attempt to make my Inquisitor seduce my already romanced Fenris. That got me thinking about how I would actually feel if Leliana was romancable despite already being in a realationship with my Warden. I mean in universe it counts as cheating, but it kinda falls under that table-top RPG thing. Where once you stop playing a character and make a new one, everyone has the same relationship with that person. (Give my stuff to that handsome bard in the back of the tavern.) My Warden would totally feel betrayed and by exstension I the player would as well if I saw Leliana kissing my Inquisitor.

Unless it was to kill my inquisitor, then Cousland Warden, totally understands. Bard buisness and all that jazz. What about you guys? How would both you and your Warden/Hawke feel if the Inquisitor started to make moves on their significant others?

Well here's the thing. If I know that certain NPCs are romancible in a general sense, but I didn't like whatever content, then I just wouldn't romance them. To your actual example, I really like Fenris and he is my preferred romance in DA2. But if they put him in the next game as a romance NPC I just wouldn't explore that path** for the reasons you mentioned. Fenris isn't a real person. HE is not the one to decide whether he is romancible or not, that decision was Bioware's.

If I got mad at anybody it would be Bioware for putting in the content. I wouldn't feel betrayed though. When playing DAI my mind will be set as my Inquisitor, not as my Warden or Hawke. My Inquisitor either will not know about, or won't care about, a previous/current relationship between whoever NPC and some hero she doesn't know. Hell, that may even add to the fun ;D.

This is the same mental process I use regarding Anders in DA2. Even though some parts are still there, Anders has changed from DAA. However, my Hawke doesn't know that. The only Anders she knows, has ever known, and ever will know is the post-Justice merge Anders. My Hawke has nothing to feel upset about regarding who Anders was in Amaranthine versus who he now is in Kirkwall.



** Well, I probably would on the fifth play or so; I doubt I would be able to hold off forever.

[adayton485]

I don't really pay attention to that because each character I create is my new favorite and I prefer them to be in the relationship with my favorite npc. (Fenris is my favorite by far.) I do however hope that Cullen is in Inquisition as a companion because that's one Templar I wouldn't mind romancing.

[Twisted Path]

No reoccurring characters at all would be kind of nice. To avoid stuff like this and because I just thought all the cameos in DA2 were silly and unnecessary. And stuff like people loving Anders and then seeing him turn serious and nuts in DA2.

I know Varric and Framing-Narrative-Lady are already going to be party members but here's to hoping we don't see anything like Isabella popping in for two minutes to make a juvenile sex joke or Fenris helping you for five minutes in a slaver-killing quest while he growls about mages and winks at the audience.
