This. A bit too Disney for my tastes. Like Wildorchid I'll likely still go for her in a second playthrough though: her nerdy thoroughness seems cute enough.

I am genuinely curious though: Is leg flicking like a habit thing, or a balancing thing? Or an expression of happiness, like when people's legs shake when they're excited?

 

Feels like something you'd see in one of those classic B&W war movies

Oh I was going to make a comment about Cat's stories before I got distracted by all this depressing marketing talk.

 

Definitely not porn to my mind. I can't remember who it was that said something along the lines of "I can't define porn but I know it when I see it" but I agree and that wasn't it. Way to much believable character development. I guess if I were forced to do that which I've just claimed to be impossible,  I'd say that for me porn is just imagery on to which we project our own fantasies and ideas. These are something else. They are stories about interesting characters that have a strong sexual component, which to me is a strong distinction.

 

Did that make sense?

 

Oh yeah and it's roughly six gazillion times better written than the snippets I've seen of E.L. James's prose.

You're so sweet!  :wub:  

 

It drives me nuts when people present BDSM as inherently abusive with the doms being psychos and the subs being victims. Anyone in the lifestyle knows that it's the sub who really runs the show, not the dom.

 

For those interested in sexy lesbian BDSM art, I suggest you look up the Sunstone comic on Deviantart by Shiniez. It's a really interesting and thoughtful look into the culture. It's explicit but the art is top notch and the author has a fantastic sense of humor.

I'm not involved in the BDSM scene, but that's not the first time I've heard that people who are were disgusted with the likes of E.L. James and their depiction of  that lifestyle.

 

Personally a key thing to me is always consent. Consenting adults should be able to do whatever they like with each other as long as they're not doing permanent harm. Your body. Your rules.

I totally agree. Popular culture twists bdsm into something that it's definitely not. It bothers me that so many people think 50 shades of grey is an accurate portrayal of it when it's the complete opposite.

Safe, Sane and Consensual, that's the rule!

 

Conversely, the other thing that drives me nuts is kinksters who look down on non kinksters and imply that there is something lacking in your sex life if you don't like kinky stuff. It's so stupid.

To be fair, when you keep seeing bland white dudes as the protagonist they do tend to blur together...

 

Tis not actually a spoiler, just a moderately sized image.

Spoiler

 

This image hasn't gotten old yet, right?

 

In any case with the release day getting closer I am trying not to get too excited because I won't get anything done, but I am curious to see how my angry/stoic qunari lady gets on with Sera. ^_^  (Or just how angry/stoic she stays in the first place, stuff always ends up changing for me until it settles somewhere after the second playthrough)

 

Have we heard if Sera can be recruited early or not? I apologize if this is something that has been asked a hundred times already, I've been trying to avoid people's fire slinging by burying my head in the sand as it were.

I think she's a switch.

I'd love to dom her with a qunari inquisitor tho...

I would like her as a sub myself, but I'm willing to play switcheroos. ;)

 

Edit:

 

Crimson: Likes Sera as a dom

Tevinter Rose: Likes Sera as a switch

Basement Cat: Likes Sera as a sub

 

So many kinks, so little time...

 

:lol:

Well exactly. Why do people have to be so judgemental of others all the bloody time? There are seven billion of us on the planet and in the developed world in particular we have the means to find others who share our tastes via the internet. Live and let live. Why is that so hard for some?

From the Live stream the other day, they had Sera in the party as early as Lvl 5 maybe before. So pretty early in the game it seems like.

We don't know really, hoping earlyish in game, seeing her as a low level in the recent stream kinda makes me hopeful we may get her not too far into the game.

I am weak for this dynamic, I've already proven that with a handful of pairings.

Ah, good to know then! I was thinking that the "Whatever we were before" line would be odd if it came at the half way point, so you would've spent half the game without your full group. So if it comes early then we've got everyone soon enough. Hopefully.

More willing to bet that she switches. Besides, being dom could get kinda boring....not that I would know ! >_> <_<

Tis interesting you're going this route with your first Inquisitrix, I'll be playing mine as an aggressive/sarcastic elf warrior. Will be interesting seeing this dynamic play out as Sera is a joker and seems pretty laidback, sparks shall fly! :lol:

And if it's one's preference it will quite literally be one's thing.  Or so I would imagine.  It would be akin to getting bored with being with the particular kind of people one enjoys being with.

 

Says one who knows nothing of such things.

 

 

Seriously, guys, this is, like, the most educational thread in the whole damn universe.  Who knew?
