I disagree.  You can't help who you love, it isn't a choice, it is just something that happens.  There are plenty of real world cases where the two love birds had very different views on things and still made it work.  Loving someone despite their faults is the whole point anyways.

However, as with anything, there are times when it doesn't work, then it fails spectacularly.

Eh, this is only true to a point.  Yes, people can love someone against all reason and sense, and of course there is nothing implausible about romances based on an abusive dynamic.  But it IS odd that Fenris would happily romance a pro-slavery blood mage.  That's not a simple case of having slightly different political views.   It's certainly plausible that Fenris could love such a Hawke, but NOT without some serious internal conflict within himself AND some serious screamfests with Hawke herself.  I would absolutely expect to see a character in that situation seriously struggling, given the psychological implications.  It's definitely not a situation that could or should be covered with one scene and three dialogues.

Yes to all, but this is a video game, there is only so many resources they can devote to romances.  The next best thing, woudl be for Bioware to create checkpoits that the PC has to pass in order to romance a certain character.

Since we are using Fenris as an analog the check points woudl be thus............YOu became a bloodmage, he woudl be like "wtf dude, bloodmages are nasty, back off."  And "hey you support slavery, I was a slave, you nasty, back off!"

It would work, there are real world check points that you have to pass in order to be with someone.  But then someone woudl **** that they couldn't have their cake and eat it too.

Sexuality is biological... it doesn't affect your personality.  How your culture views your sexuality may affect your personality though.

I don't know. If Zevran had been leading the group in DAO instead of my Warden, I would have filed a complaint with HR.

Just because I flirt with you once doesn't mean you have to get all creepy.

Getting dumped and getting your heart broken is really great, a triumph in the writing. Alistair, I feel was exceptionally good at this. Morrigan I mostly felt sorry for her, and not mysefl/the Warden. The only thing I dislike about it is that the game then treats you as having never romanced that companion in the first place. Yeah Morrigan bullies Alistair a bit after the break up, but the game itself doesn't recognise the relationship. The fact that the romance took place isn't imported into the next game and that really makes me sad. I would leave Alistair unhardened and make him King everytime if it wasn't for that.

Some people can't tell the difference between good healthy flirting and ....well MORE....Zev was just a horn dog...we've all worked with them once or twice.....

With Morrigan, if you decide to end it, she doesn't liek it, if you don't decide to break it off, she doesn't liek it either, but less so.  I never break it off.

Not really.  I've never heard anyone object to the idea of decisions you make as the PC directly affecting how the companions, and the LIs in particular, react.  In fact the only people I see suggesting it are people trying to make a bullsh*t non-point.  Most peope I've heard discussing it seriously are completely in agreeement with having PC decisions directly affect how companions react to you and whether it opens or closes content.  

I think that Bioware has specifically addressed making this a part of the gameplay in Inquisition, and I've never heard ANY objections to it.

[Neon Rising Winter]

I prefer the playersexual option, a nice compromise between offering a choice of romance characters, without going over the top in having romance subplots everywhere.

Now if they would be a bit more picky based on your in game actions, that would be nice. I'd like to see all companion characters be a bit more discerning in how they view you based on your behaviour, but obviously that would follow through into the romances. And emphasise the idea of choices (other than those in the character creator!) having consequences.

Well, you seem to be taking this personally.  I didn't know that the PC passing checkpoints in order to romance a certain person was not "decisions you make as the PC directly affecting how the companion react."

I think we're done here.  Or I am at least done with you.

I just hope they keep up with what they did in DA:2 by allowing same sex romances with all the potential love interests. It was nice to be able to romance the female characters in DA:2, and Leliana in DA:O as a female hero, makes me much more invested.

Well if romances are so beloved, why do so few actually do them.
A player on another thread called the romance players "mancers".
I am a mancer and we are obviously a very vocal minority who don't agree on very much.

I slept with the dude once and he thought we were in a relationship despite the dialogue option very clearly stating it was just for fun. He got clingy and I had to kick him to the curb.
