My reaction would be "Works for me." Romance has always been icing on the cake for me. If it gets dropped, it isn't a deal-breaker.

If the brothel doesn't have Qunari, it is racist.

I'd suspect real-life equivalents aren't going to have every possible deviation either. It'd be accurate to say BioWare values diversity, but that's taking it a bit far.

On an unrelated note, the above(and below) pyramids of quotes are a bit much.

You seem to think we have a sense of shame.


Imagine if everyone on BSN had shame. That would either be really hillarious or really dull.

It's 2013. Anyone with an internet connection has access to free and basically unlimited porn. The idea that someone would instead play through a 35 hour game for a 15 second PG-13 cutscene or even a fade to black scene should be laughably absurd to anyone with a brain.


Sounds like something a woman might do or a gay man but not most people no. 

Tbh I would rather the sex scenes were just not shown at all. it's not that I am a prude or anything it's just that they always look so weird and awkward. :/ 

Anything girls can do, gays can do better.

Gays can do anything better than girls.


This resident feminist would counter your remark, but she's in too much pain from snarfing hot coffee up her nose.

ohhh do go on...

Unfortunately, some people seem to place far more importance on them than is due. It seems like the romances are the only thing that matters to some players.


And I never understand why that fact matters to other people.

Who cares if they like romace?  Who cares if the romaces are the only reason some people play the games?

How does it affect you?


If it sacrifices the quality of the rest of the game, it affects me. 

Think about all that time spent on DA2's romances, redirected at polishing its other exceedingly rough areas.

Because said lunatics invariably come up here on the BSN to stir up crap and take stuff seriously to the extreme.

Ever hear of Necanor or MEFan4life?


So let them.
Live and let live.


And then watch them come into and hijack threads that are actually trying to be reasonable and rational and get so worked up over stuff that, in the case of the latter, he threatens his own life as well as makes sexually harassing statements to female posters.

Yeah, no.

To be fair, I don't think Da2 romances took as much as a drain on resources as you think.  They were what?  12 lines of dialogue and a sex scene?

And become obsessive over that said character to the point where it becomes scary

Only that most of that is people having arguments over tangentially related stuff and not on-topic debates. This thread had the potential for a good, rational debate about game design until the fanatics showed up.

As a Hoosier (person from Indiana) I can confirm this as fact.

The romances did not make, nor did they break DA2.

"Stay" is such a strong word. Maybe it's just a quick stop to the strip joint before moving on.

What evidence do you have that attention was given to romance over other aspects of the game? Were you actually privy to the devleopment process?

If romance was removed, who says those resources/time would be spent on other aspects of the game? They might not get spent at all.

A 'high-class' gentleman's establishment in Indianapolis.

Overweight with platform shoes isn't pretty.

Yeah, no.

Who did that?
And anyway, the people who hijacked this thread and drove it off the cliff are anti-romance people.

Or just fleshing out some "issue" characters (looking at you Fenris).  These characters desperately needed work, something that hsould have been completed before a romance arc was more than a scribble on a notepad.

Besides disappointment that they would yet again be removing features in an attempt to broaden their audience?

Yeah, Plus you could say the same about Dialogue choices or side quests all those resources could have been spent on making the combat not suck or making the caves look not the same.
