Ah.

It's Isabela though. Expecting her to turn down sex is like expecting Fenris to turn down a chance to kill a slaver. He could but...it's not really likely. Doesn't she invite you anyway? That's real love <3


She never mentions beforehand that this is an "open relationship." I wonder who else she has been banging behing Hawke's back.

I seriously doubt she's the type to hide it. It's not in her character.

Okay Hawke is someone who made his/her claim to fame by killing people.Alot of people. Hawke's also very rich. Other than a few snide remarks what exactly can anyone do about Hawke being with Merrill? (And Fenris himself is quite capable of bodily harm). I don't know about you but I don't go around insulting people quite capable of beating the crap out of me. Especially not if they can turn around and get away with it because yay money.

Most of the people you meet of a higher status than Hawke are those who probably don't give a damn about his/her preferences (Meredith, Vicount) cause they have far more important things on their minds.

Hawke already would've gotten used to letting insults and derision slide off his/her back from simply being a poor Fereldan in Kirkwall since act 1.

I think Kirkwall folk should at least react about their Champion having an affair with elf. Common people could just gossip, but aristocrats could boycott Hawke. And killing people for that is not moral or lawful or smart thing to do unless you're psychopath. The same goes to Fenris.
I wish we saw the same NPC reaction as in Dwarf Commoner origin, it was brilliant.

This thread is a great example of why professionals write for video games and not random forumgoers.

It's very clear that Hawke and Isabela bang all the time outside of their relationship. There are "stories" and all LIs confirm it.

I still don't feel every LI should work that way. But it's a possible "compromise."


Every LI shouldn't work that way because simply put they don't all need to have hang ups on species culture. Like if GW dude had a hang up I'd facepalm. One would think he works with different species all the time.

A Dalish elf companion on the other hand who's used to being around just other DE sure.

It's...Isabela though. How do you romance her and not expect her to sleep around? She flat out tells you it was just for fun. And her curiousity was...sated.

Does she even get jealous when you flirt with other people like the rest of the LIs? Cause I don't think she does.


I would accept that during Act 1. However, during Act 2 she tells you she's falling for you.

I have no idea if she does during the normal game, but someone actually sayd she does during MotA with Tallis, which is amusing.

Truth be told, after seeing how people take romances around here, that's the last thing I'd want to write if I were in Dragon Age's writing team.

Hawke can, and probably does, sleep with tons of people besides the LI.

That reminds me of the thanemancers in Mass Effect who got butthurt over Thane's death in 3 despite being told long in advance it's going to happen.

Be fair. She won't sleep with Zevran if you ask her not to.

Her falling for you doesn't mean she's gonna stop having fun though. Least I never got that impression. I don't know romancing Isabela and expecting monogamy to me is just...um...uh...there are greener pastures for that.

Ah I thought that was just with FemHawke?

I agree they shouldn't all have hang ups on culture, but i don't agree that that automatically means they don't have standards for what they find attractive or not.

Don't you see her getting treated at Anders' clinic for Maker knows how many STDs?

I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole.

Seeing as I'm seeing the LI amount as 4 people, five at most no I'm not seeing restrictions as necessary or even desirable.

If we get more LIs (more along the vein of six so everyone will get at least one LI) sure. Otherwise no.

Preferences sure. They finding a member of a race that pretty much looks like their own save minor tweaks (Height, skin color, horns) completely unattractive for reasonz is where you lose me.

Just like she didn't hide anything with her whole plot arc, right?

And, even if she weren't the type to hide it--the game never tells you this. If the game had told me this I'd be okay with her being what she is--I'd make my decision off of that. But they don't until suddenly she's like "Zevran let's have sex."

Also, this has less and less to do with the topic at hand.

Not all of them. The fact that it's POSSIBLE doesn't automatically mean you're in an open relationship.

Nope, it's for both.

You mean like, if you wanted to romance Leliana in Origins, you should be forced to try to not be an ass and do a couple nice things from time to time? Because we have to admit, it was a little weird that she was all "I love you" over the Warden even if he was a psychopathic power hungry monster.

No LI has standards for attractiveness; they'll all bang you even if you look like you've been hit in the face repeatedly with a frying pan.

Fair enough. We disagree, not the end of the world.

Yes. You should not be able to sleep with Leliana after manically killing the Dalish elves, keeping the anvil of the void, siding with the templars (While I can see Alistair accepting this I'm more hmmm on Leliana), and heck you can keep romancing her after poisoing the ashes if you harden her and your intimidate is high enough XD

I mean the latter at least should auto end the romance. at least.
