I'm not sure if anyone posted this before and if they did I apologize in advance. But I was curious about past romances in Dragon age and how or if it will be acknowlede in the game in some way. Say you were to meet past characters that were romanced with the main protagonist will they make a mention of it? Like for those who romanced Sebastion as you know he is the only LI that you could marry and if you side with Anders he esstionally breaks it off. If you were to see him again will he express regret about his choice or (if you kept the romance alive) will he make mention of his wife. Or what about those who became Queen, will the narrative acknowledge that the King is missing along with his wife or his lover for the nonhumans. Maybe Morrigan will mention the man she loved or the father of her child. Heck there could be rumors about her mysterious husband/ lover since she has a high position in court. Or what about the other romances?

What I'm trying to say in short is how do you guys speculate (or hope ) the narrative will handle the past romances and how will it effect the characters that might get a cameo?

Please discuss

Probably most people's romances will get mentioned to some extent and Morrigan's definitely will be.

How does the warden/hawke romancing someone affect the inquisitor in any way? *Giggle* "Yes, the hero of fereldan and I banged. They're so sweet" *giggle*

Maybe Isabela will come back and she'll bring it up while the Inquisitor is sleeping with her as per tradition for every DA protagonist to do.

As long as the romances have no significant bearing on the plot.

I imagine there'll be some small dialogue changes for whatever characters return, but people don't generally go on about their love lives to complete strangers. Rumours from other sources perhaps.

Hell, for all we know, since both PCs disappeared apparently it might be a touchy subject for everyone now.

[ElementalFury106]

Bioware has a seriously underwhelming way of mentioning past romances...

but yes they are mentioned, almost always. even minor romances (such as sleeping with Isabela in Origins)

[GenericEnemy]

A few lines maybe. wont lie, I hope for some closure on the Leliana/Warden mance. because i really dont even know with that one anymore after 2.

Yeah that's what I meant when I said they're underwhelming. We get no closure or insight as to how the relationship is doing or what impact it might've had. They basically just said "yeah we love/care about each other."

Like no ****, I was kinda there.

They should let the Inquisitor ask questions about the romance; such as how is the relationship doing, if there are future plans, how the relationship has affected people around the couple, etc etc.

Or maybe I'm asking for too much. Doubt that though

As long as Hawke's gets at least a mention, like the Warden's did in 2, and BioWare acknowledges the fact that my 4th Hawke romanced Anders AND Tallis, but killed Anders, and Tallis and Sylvia Hawke are a couple, I'm happy.

However, I'd prefer more than a passing mention. I'd like to see my romance pairings actually together.

I think I'd let out manly squeals if I see my Warden/Morrigan or Hawke/Merrill together in Inquisition.

I would too, except I never romanced Morrigan and imported that game into DA2, so if it were one of the other three. Also, I'd have to be very energetic about playing at the time, and I'd need to be the only person in the house.

In all my import/canon games, the only companions I didn't romance were Morrigan and Sebastian (and Anders, if you count the fact that in my only Anders romance playthrough, I killed him).

Well then whichever character your Warden/Hawke romanced, they should be seen together.

Nothing wrong with others being in the house while you let out manly squeals. They're...manly after all!

[TheKomandorShepard]

Well it shouldn't have impact and why character should mention that unless special occasion appears.
For example it was stupid as hell what they did with Leliana and her "o hello stranger did i mention that warden is my lover?" i mean who does that?

Alistair for example did it correctly he talk about warden when he speak with Teagan who is his friend and knew warden so it looks natural.

[Gileadan]

Who honestly cares about who banged who ten years ago when there's demons coming through a hole in the sky? "Guys, there's this keep burning ten miles down the road, but let's have some antiquated gossip first!"

Brilliant response from you as always.

It can be simple and doesn't have to be out of place/context. For example, you encounter Merrill in DA:I and say "Hey, aren't you the Merrill that traveled with Hawke? I hear you two were close." To that she can confirm it and we could use the investigate side option to get further insight to the romance. Doesn't have to be game changing or anything, just something nice to acknowledge our desicions from the previous game(s).

[VanguardMaster19]

Well it is something to think about, what if you get a quest (for example) were you need some info ormaybe  your looking for some info on Hawke/Warden and there wherabouts, who better to give you some insight then their lover. Or what if your King or Queen, we already know your warden is missing that has to raise some alarm bells especially in a world where everything is falling apart.
Heck even the thing with Sebastion and him going back to raise an army to help deal with the mages uprising might need to be mention. Or Isabella's hand in the Qunari affairs or her adventures with Alister and Varric. Or that mirror with Merrial which still is a mystery, there is a possibility that we can encounter past charecters in some way. I was wondering if the romance with the protagonist will have some impact or we might see our characters with them.

Just stop bringing old characters back for no good reason damnit, and stop making up reasons to bring them back as well. Then you don't even have to worry about thing such as this.

[Osena109]

 So Isabela every body gets a turn? the warden hawke and now the Iquisitor is this confirmed or do we just know it will happin?

Yes brilliant because i don't want references for sake references it is stupid and unbelievable.Besides Thedas isn't modern society where communication is on a global scale so everyone knows who arnold schwarzenegger is only on medieval level and magic don't offer nothing in that matter so communication is weak sure in orlais they should know who hawke is (well know what big things he did but without details) but they shouldn't know with who he is sleeping what he eats or what he is doing every day.Hell peoples even don't know what happened in third act and blame hawke.

Simple if leliana or morrigan romaced warden they don't have to tell everyone that, no one does that thats personal matter.Only few peoples know that you romanced zevran , even less that you romanced morrigan and in leliana that only rumors in codes.

Speaking as someone who enjoys what the romances can add to the story, I see no reason why who the warden/Hawke banged should have any bearing in Inquisition whatsoever. Or why the Inquisitor even needs to know about it.

Inqisitor X LI X Isabela X Hawke X Zevran. Fox news will go insane. Make it happen Bioware.

How could any of that possibly matter to the Inquisitor?  I mean, really... 

I don't mean to single you out, because this entire thread is a bit strange.  This is taking it way too far, though.  Besides, everyone knows by now that the Warden and Hawke have "disappeared."  I would assume that being in a different dimension seriously limits one's potential to keep a romance going...

I really think people need to occasionally remind themselves that these are different, totally unrelated PCs we're controlling... no matter how many returning characters are in these games, personal details like this are just not important to the Inquisitor or any future PCs.

This. It would take some rather specific circumstances for a past romance to actually be able to affect events, and then only in action. No one in the Inquisitor's position and in their right mind would bother with personal trivia like that.

[Star fury]

Isabela must really say how she slept with both the Hero of Ferelden and the Champion of Kirkwall.
