Exactly. If the romances are DLC, they can be better developed, and the core gameplay in the vanilla edition can be better developed because of one less side priority.

Everyone wins.

But why should we have to pay to get something that has always been a constant in DA games? Granted, Sebastian was a DLC romance, but it was only for femHawke. And plus, I hated the guy to boot!

I think that's the wrong attitude. If the romances are a Day One DLC, you'll have to pay a little bit extra, but you'll get a lot more in-depth /fade to black than you would normally.  Think of it as a way to make romances a higher priority.

Wrong attitude? Why should they remove something that has been a part of the series since the beginning?

To expand its scope, and to do the concept additional justice. It's not wholesale removal, it's just DLC instead of vanilla. Nothing will stop you from getting it.

I think the main issue is that romances for me is that they didn't feel as optional in DA2 as they did in DAO. I couldn't really express that I considered a person a friend without flirting with them. That's how I felt anyways. It feels that romance has become an integral part of creating a friendship in Bioware games.

I think it had to do with the ever present heart icon.
And I always got the impression that (default male) Hawke was constantly leering at his companions.
That being said, I imagine they already got the romances for DAI planned out (if not partly implemented), seeing how the original launch date was set for fall this year.
I also didn't get the impression that the writers despise writing the romances - just that they disapprove of people going overboard with them.

Also the romance threads on BSN could be alot worse.

Then again I was exposed to the HP fandom (especially the slash vs het wars. By god) and anime so yeah could be a hell of a lot worse.

I draw the line at the Tali thread though. NOPE.

Not every opinion is valid. You just made up the notion that romances are a headache for the writers and that that headache is not worth it for them. It's baseless speculation, not an informed opinion.

Have you written fanfic? I thought I read one of yours before. Or at least by an author with the same name.

Well if you nipped that in the bud early on in Act I soon after meeting them, the only character that you couldn't do that with was Anders, and even I stopped soon after meeting him, I just took the jerk response for that conversation.

Gaider doesn't like the romances .
Wants to cut back on them.

> ME3 romance board.

> The amount of locked threads on this board.

Educated guess.

And that has what to do with the writers and the writing of the romances?

You can loke both. No one is saying that you're one of the few who are using the romances for wish fulfillment or to exploit political agendas.

The post I quoted is either exaggerating a few people or believes most people are focusing on these things if not I don't see the need to have it so how dare a few people play the game for just romances. They're money isn't as good for game development as mine is! Which is silly.

And for the most part those people stay in their own threads. If you're being overly exposed to them it's because you keep going into romance threads instead of the ones you are intersted in. That's no one's fault but your own.

Not so much. The majority of player don't even pursue the romances, and given the fact that BW has started spending a lare amount of time on a small tiny feature, it seems that the minority of people who play the games simply for the romances are being pandered to. This is BW's fault for including way too many romances in their recent games, such as Tali and Garrus–arguably the most physiologically dificult of which to have a romance w/.

The fact is that those threads are entertaining. It's fun to see the minority of romance-obsessed people demand that every companion be romanceable.

Harry Potter fanfic no. I've written some atrocious Persona 3 and ME fanfics though

You guys can't be seriously this daft? What Dragon age needs is a everything sexual system. This system will allow everything to be romancable. If you want to hump that piece of rubble you have every damn right too.

Spoiler

That will be one rocky ride

Romances should be a need and not a want.

Absolutely terrible screen name.

In a just world people like you would be hung, drawn, and quartered.

Wrong.

That was the fault of ONE romance thread. The Miranda thread arguing over it's interpretations of the character. That ONE thread about ONE character ruined it for everyone.

Where are you getting the large amount of time on one small feature from? Can I see a dev quote please? Plus there are other small features that get a decent unique content (Hello Dwarf Origin in DAO that only 5% of players used). You know what else is gonna be a mostly unused feature? Several of the races they're adding to DAI. Data suggests that people play humans in an overwhelming amount.

And they can easily be ignored. For the most part apart from a few crazies.
