hmm...look at the options

i. a renegade mage who is also an abomination later turn to terrorist
ii. an emo elf who whine a lot on how he hate all mages
iii. a priest who if you marry him is the same with not marrying him

If these are the only option, I rather live alone

@evil dude - thank you for the clarification.

[Gileadan]

I think whether marriage makes sense depends on the plot and the intensity of the conflict it presents.

If it's a long-term storyline like DA2 with long times of "rest" between flares of minor conflict, certainly, why not. I am not interested in doing that, but I can see it fit the story.

If it's a desperate fight just to see another day in a world being overrun by demons? Heck no. How many people got married and had kids at the front lines of major wars? I imagine one's mind is just busy with the thought of continued survival then.

[MisterJB]

It's the end of the world. Let's get on with the looting already!

[Dubozz]

No please. No wedding.

[Daissran]

Marriage? Why not, its sweet to think you could marry ur LI and be a badass, demon hunting, Thedas saving supercouple.

[wright1978]

I personally think marriage if it happens should be in the epilogue.The game itself should be where the relationship blossoms. I'm not really a fan of NPC marriage/romance except in the rare plot linked occasions like Anora.

[in it for the lolz]

It's a game, not a dating sim.

Besides, marrage is for suckers.

[MWImexico]

That could be a symbolic marriage, with an exchange of vows in private?

Anyway, if the marriage is well integrated in the romance arc and seems logical depending of the ciconstances then it's ok.

[Estelindis]

I honestly don't see why it shouldn't be an option if it's consistent with the characters' personalities.

[Navasha]

Personally, I have enjoyed the romances as they are. Marriage? No. That is taking it way too far. Who wants to suddenly and unexplainably start fighting with their LI over every tiny detail?

Marriage is also primarily a religious event. Which religion is performing this 'rite'? Contrary to popular belief, being married doesn't mean you are 'more' in love than just being in a committed relationship.

Is the inquisitor going to be using it as a tax deduction?

See... marriage comes with too many details and complications.

[Former_Fiend]

I have a whole rant about why marriage is an unnecessary relic of a bygone age and that the pomp and ceremony is meaningless compared to the simple, personal connection between two people, but instead of going into that I'll leave it at "rather not, but I'm not against the option."

[Felya87]

As long as it is an option, and if is possible only for some LI without breaking their characters (for example, a Isabela/Zevran like character would not be very credible being a marriage tipe, even if she/he can be committed to one person) it just an option like any other. I would not be against it.

but I think it should be at the very end of the adventure, and be appropriate to the lore and the characters.

[Br3admax]

I say no to this. Marriage in general is not on the top of my list when the world is ending. Nor is it any other time, but still. Also, this was one of the worst lines/paraphrases in video gaming and BioWare history. Ever.

[Boycott Bioware]

I support marriages, but only if it is applied perfectly and not half way like Skyrim and not like DA2 romance

In DA2, Anders live at Hawke estate but there are so few dialogue lines/scene and no activity with him at home such as cooking together, having dinner, just talk...ect other than sex

If it is like that, better no romance and no marriage at all

Never said it happens during the game, it could happen before any of this starts. If it did well.. i wouldn't see any reason not to. Hey here's another idea, because you could die the next day. *ME3* Thank You for that.

Before any of what starts? Relationships develop throughout the game, you'd have to be able to get married very early on in the game. That is silly, imo.

Why get married just because tomorrow you could die? Isn't being with your LI enough? I just don't understand this concept, I guess.

I did mention that it is option to have been married before the current events in the game so long as its not a party member. (again assuming the party members are new people the inquisy just happens to meet and join up with.) Why wouldn't the inquisitor have a love interest at this point or a wife? I mean is he or she just becoming a adult? like are they 17 or 18 or something? I would think not, at least not in every possible race/class choice, and if they are middle age again why wouldn't they be already? Even with the sole survivor of whatever the tragedy is in the beginning if they threw in the option to have a pre-existing relationship I might take it assuming again the Inquisy isn't some kid right out gate.

I thought that was kind of strange about Hawke, ... that is to say they didn't have a serious relationship back in Ferelden despite being the eldest, in all likelihood really Hawke should have been married before the blight even happen, Aveline isn't that much older than Hawke if at all, and she was married, and managed to get married again in Kirkwall. If you played Mage Hawke its understandable that you might be single, kind of hard meeting people when you are constantly worried about being ratted out to the Templars, but that is no excuse for Warrior or Rogue Hawke. I'm not saying this is my own personal belief, in real life whether a person no matter the age decides to live single or be married is of no importance to me, but it should be a option I think. I would like a play through where I am the devoted father trying to save the world so my kids back home have a future.

Also It kind of worries me that people can't make the connection between having something extra to connect your character to the world around them, a world that we are supposedly shaping. This is just one more hallmark option to drive my inquisitor on. I'm not saying you have to be a family man/woman to be a hero, but geez is it really that far fetched after playing Dragon Age Origins and DA2, that a hero in the making or even before hand might find love and make that ultimate commitment while battle the forces of apprent evil? Hate to use movies as a reference but anyone here ever see Braveheart? Anyone recall Wallace marrying his love despite the impending wars with the English looming over? Not exactly end of the world, but for them it might as well had been.

I could also see it as a option to remove any potential romance the party member dialog. Like everyone who is a potential LI see's the ring or whatever customary item is used to be marked as taken, and just simply not put themselves out there for potential romance with the inquisitor. Especially for those who claim to not care or want romance X party member in the game in the first place.

Let's not bring up the dating sim stuff again.
Disappointed in the Mole. There was a " I don't Want DAI to become a dating sim thread ", launched by some ignorant person, that started the current romance fan verses romance hater war in the BSN.
Gaider himself intervened recently in a thread HE CLOSED, when things got out of hand and he did threaten bans/tell people who wanted to attack people who like romances to stay out of the forum if they couldn't do any better.
Not an exact quote but close . So leave the I hate romances/don't want a dating sim nonsense out of the thread.
There is not the remotest chance DAI will become a dating sim. sheesh.
As for getting married in DAI, won't happen.
If DAI had a toolkit, there could be marriage mods like there are for DAO.
Maybe someone will figure out how to successfully mod the game..
Until then you need to forget the idea OP.
Hope you haven't unwittingly relaunched the war.....

[Gwydden]

I've never seen the point of getting married in real life, much less in fiction. I consider it an obsolete convention that only survives due to social and cultural inertia. Also, it's ilogical and overall unadvisable from a story and character development standpoint.

If people are really interested, there is always headcanon. Such a mechanic would bring problems to the game and the plot more than anything else.

[Augustei]

My Inquisitor has more important things to worry about if its the end of the world than some trivial thing such as getting married or love interests... Like idk....Stopping the end of the world and taking advantage of the power vacuum that such chaos would cause

[Volus Warlord]

Sounds too Fable 2-ish.

[DarthLaxian]

no way - sorry, but i am not one of those (in my oppinion) silly people who need to sign a paper (and have their union sanctioned by some god or the other (i am a non believer - or Atheist if you wish to call it that)) to know they love somebody and will not betray them or look for other partners (until telling them the relationship is not working out anymore!)

i am not in favour of marriage as a concept ("enslaving" oneself to a piece of paper (or the spouse that earns less because you have to pay alimony if you earn more, have a house etc. if it does not work out)) is not my idea of fun (and it is not romatic IMHO - a candle light dinner is romantic...paper enslavement and paying for an unnecessary dress, suit, church and party is NOT!)) because firstly most of them end in divorce (and the courts still hate men (95% chance to be the loser in a divorce, even if your wife was sleeping around etc.)) - hell, my own parents went throug 3 marriages between them (my mother 2 times and my dad once)....

yes, i am projecting my own views onto the game, but i have better reasons still:

why spend time on something as un-necessary as this, if there are more important issues? (lots of them in fact!)

greetings LAX

[Gwydden]

Wow, Laxian, you've cracked my top ten list of favorite virtual people xD.

I think the fact that you keep referring to some piece of paper as the goal of marriage is all to telling about your view on what marriage is.
