Personally I hope not, I hate those kind of mods

But that's for a different thread topic

Im not saying i want that i just suspect that someone will make it given that its been done to DA O characters in the past.

Don't really understand how people can get enjoyment out of said mods... if I'm in a relationship with a woman I don't want to be referred to using male pronouns. 

I have a huge crush on Dorian, but even if I was a PC player and such a mod came out that let me romance him as a FemQuizzy, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Sure there's the issue again of not wanting to be referred to as a guy, but I feel like it's disrespectful to warp their sexuality. Kind of... squicky, even.

 Maybe people can role-play their tran-character, but I'm still against changing sexuality and skin color. People will do whatever they want still.

I actually enjoyed quite a few of his blogs on there.

Me too, though he never answered the question I sent him a month or so back regarding the symbolism behind Cassandra's romance tarot.   

 

That's a shame. You can always try Twitter

[Obvious_Shining]

Well, i think it's obvious enough tbh.



The chalice symbolizes her wet parts during fun times with quizzy.

The punch is the happy ending.

I think I read it's pretty traditional symbolism for the "temperance" tarot card-mixing wine with water. http://en.m.wikipedi...nce_(Tarot_card)

I think the more interesting question is not the symbolism specifically, but why Cassandra for that card after she is romanced?

What is her other hand doing lol ? It looks like it is scooping out blood...

 

Future DLC content with "Violent fighting followed by epic sexy time" for Cassandra confirmed ?

Indeed, chalice represents womanly parts. Learned that from the Da Vinci Code lol. Her cup runneth over indeed.

 

Don't know what she's doing with the bloody hand.

[Colonelkillabee]

The sloot of babylon (lol) also had a chalice filled with filth.... yea, chalice defs womanly parts.

Because... why not? It says "Synthesis — Bringing together opposites — Feeling secure.  Interpretations of this card's appearance may focus on bringing balance to the life of the Querent. In other interpretations the card may serve as a reminder that a compromise between two seemingly incompatible options is often the best option."

Pretty much sums it up.

That's red dust from the wall paint i think. Because you know, fun time too good, gotta punch a bear wall.

o.o Cassandra

Brcause... why not? It says "Synthesis — Bringing together opposites — Feeling secure.  Interpretations of this card's appearance may focus on bringing balance to the life of the Querent. In other interpretations the card may serve as a reminder that a compromise between two seemingly incompatible options is often the best option."
Pretty much sums it up.

Maybe you could explain this in a little more detail for me...so why is that her romance card?

Where is the compromise between two seemingly incompatible options? I mean, it's not like Cassandra was a nun. If she gets with a pro-Chantry Andrastian, how is that a compromise between two seemingly incompatible options?

Or is the implication that Cassandra's life was out of balance without a sexual relationship? That's a tad...disturbing as an implication.

But perhaps you could explain it better?

Oh sweet Maker,   it's not like that. That's not how it works, you're taking it too literally. 

She says it herself when you try to start a romance - that she wants to open up to someone, to be seen as something more than just a warrior/soldier but unable to because she thinks that her personal happiness doesn't matter as long as she gets sh*t done. But the romance with the Inq proves that the sacrifice is unnecessary and it is possible to find a balance between a duty and... pretty much anything but a duty for her, to find some peace. "The opposites" here are not the different believes, it's her inner struggles and conflicting desires.

::.shrugs:: I get that you saw it as pretty obvious, but I honestly hadn't thought about it that way. I appreciate the explanation though, it makes sense and the way you explained it is actually pretty poetic.

I could do without the wisecracks but I guess when you ask what others think is a dumb question, you do open yourself up for mockery.

I'm trying, DA characters are inspiring.

And yes, tarot is allegorical it says things about the person or situation as a whole and always vaguely - that's the key to understanding.

I thought that was blood.

 

So it's like that movie Antichrist then, when Willem Dafoe ejaculates blood after being bashed in the testicles with a block of wood?

Lezbait, not lesbians. The problem is that they aren't lesbian characters, but a lot of women thought and think that they were romantically interesting. You weren't around for this thread at the beginning, but Maria Caliban started it, and other women like CrimsonN7 and myself were major participants. Yes, I know very well about the Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Forged Alliances flirts. I've stopped playing since, but I was...involved in the arguments about Lemda and Cytharat and the rest back when they first happened.That doesn't change the fact that when SWTOR dropped, despite BioWare being known for writing same-gender romantic content into its games and actually promising it in SWTOR before launch, there were no same-gender romantic arcs. Oh, there were bisexual people in the setting, like Kaliyo, but none of them were actually bisexual romances, let alone gay or lesbian. And that's the way it stood; there've been a few token attempts at fixing the problem, but it's still a fairly huge problem.For one thing, they're not romances. They don't have extended arcs like companion characters do. It ain't the same. There's not much meaningfully different between a lady Trooper kissing Lemda Avesta and an dude Inquisitor nailing, say, Darth Lachris on Balmorra in Chapter 1. (Lachris actually gets a fade-to-black, though, so...) So there's still a startling amount of inequality: straight companionmances, no queer companionmances.For another thing, they're...kind of unfulfilling. Cytharat can die. Lemda doesn't seem interested in the player at all. Theron and Lana are much better, and they're pretty well-written with more content than the Makebmances, but they still leave. (BW: Austin also described them as "playersexual", and coming off of Edmonton's rejection of that concept and Gaider's fairly comprehensive description of why he thought it was dumb, that was kind of embarrassing.)And, y'know, this is about characters that I - and a lot of other people - wish were available for lezmances but aren't. So Lana and Lemda are certainly a Thing, but Jaesa, Elara, Risha, Temple, and so on aren't. Male characters can't romance Torian or Vector or Jorgan. 2.0 and 3.0 didn't change that.

You might argue that the gay romance options aren't of your liking, but that's it. A matter of taste.

It's the same as straight people complaining that Sera isn't available. There's a difference between not getting what you want and unfairness.

And what exactly is unsatisfying about Dorian and Sera?
