I still think Varric shouldn't be a romance option

Did I say he should? I'm pretty sure I didn't. I'm perfectly happy with Varric not being a romance. And I'm perfectly happy with, while not available as a romance, Varric isn't attracted to humans.


I know you didn't, I was just adding on to the Varric comment :P

Fun Fact: Special Edition Australian Monopoly has a koala piece. That little sucker is a game-changer.


Patently unfair.  I would totally use blood magic on you and steal your koala piece, Plaintiff.  Sorry.

I hate you both.  If I miss out on Varric as a LI, I'm going to blame you, and my wrath will be terrible!

I've lurked the BSN and the forum Bioware hosted before it since before the original Dragon Age was released and in that time, I've gathered character generation is an important part of the game to Sylvius and in that regard he isn't alone.

Selecting their gender and race, thinking about how the world will react to them and how they'll react to the world, what kind of weapons they'll use, where to allocate their points, the story behind why the points are allocated the way they are...it's a lot more fun than 'sorting socks'.


But why go through all the work if it all comes out the same? I played a rogue in DA][ and thought that if I played a mage next time the game would have to play out differently and that the mage hating elf would not follow me. Nothing really is different. A few lines here and there but not enough difference to worry about what you pick.

I'd like romances and friendships impacted by race, gender and choices. If your elf companion does not like you romantically because you are a qunari it won't be because they are a racist, but because they aren't attracted to qunari. Or a mage in your party does not fall in love with your non-mage supporter avatar (which is based off your actions). I'd even like to see romance options that will leave/break up with you if you cross the lines on their value systems.

Having these limits makes the characters seem more alive to me as I RP. It also makes my character creation even more important and carefully thought out. But that is just me and I'm fine with others not wanting this. It's all personal preference at the end of the day.

Do I think this will happen? No. Bioware is going to do what they think is best for the game and budget.

EDIT: small corrections

Imagine a scene in which a bulky Qunari warrior is making love to a female dwarf, for example, and contemplate if you would like to be able to see this.



I'd rather not imagine that, thanks. Lmao

Change "female dwarf" to "male human" and I'm down! ;)

No, no restrictions.  In fact, I was a bit disappointed in DA:O when I found out there were no non-human romances.  Well, except for Zevran, but I meant girls.

Ahem.

Preferences are always subject to change however. If Varric were to develop an attraction to humans, I wouldn't mind that either. I was talking more about the general principle.

Yes, that's it.

Yeah, strongly agree. Make choices matter and have impact !

@Plaintiff: Do you often find that you convert people to your enlightened state being so nasty all the time?

I don't waste time on lost causes, I just try to keep it from spreading around.

On topic:

I am always in favor of more options, but I am not bothered by the slightest if some characters or companions were not interested in certain races.
