Sebastians romance, where we didn't even get a kiss, but did have a nice celibate Chantry marriage ....if you didn't run for it at that point.

Real romance aka known as what we perceive as romance in Bioware games, flirting, kiss, falling in love, sex scene (possibly). 

 

I just don't want Cullen to turn out to be another let down like Sebastian.

Ok, but I'd like to take a second and say this:

 

Using the world "real" to denote a sexual relationship could be incredibly hurtful to anyone here who's living a "real" life without sex.

I suspect that however I described any romance, someone could take offence if they wanted to, or indeed if they went out of their way to do so.

I did not mean to cause offence to anyone.

I think I'm getting to old to say anything on these forums...I was interested in if anyone had heard more about the romance that is all.

Ah, so many interesting perspectives and characters! 

 

And to answer my own question with that rogue boy of mine:

 

He's had the Chantry's law hammered into his head since he was a boy, lessons he found boring when he was young, as any boy likely would, and marginally more interesting once he was older. It's hard to pull back from the knee-jerk demons are bad and spirits are good view when it's all you've ever been told, but he does try to take a step back. Sometimes. When he has to think about it, at least. 

 

He doesn't really think anything on the lessons he went through, but he does question just how persuasive a demon can be. People can be incredibly manipulative themselves, they can be persuasive talkers and silver tongued rogues. Sometimes he wonders if spirits and demons aren't exactly the same. Maybe all of those persuasive demons are just as persuasive as the most manipulative of people? And can't 'good' people be manipulative, if it will further the goal they believe is good?

 

Still, while he might wonder sometimes, when he's bored and thinking back on old lessons while he watches family members shine their Templar armour or cluck about the Chantry, the fact remains he isn't a mage or Templar. He hasn't faced those dangers personally and never will if he has anything to say about it, so his curiosity soon falls to the way side as he shrugs and puts it out of mind.

 

(Just wait until he gets thrown into the thick of it!  )

Thanks for the reply and the correction   I was going by a post that mentioned 8 upthread. And wow, I use so many abilities *huggles long ability bar*

 

Ahhh I didn't mean to make it sound like a correction  I was on my iPad (still no internet at home... at work now) and so there are no emoties on iPad plus I have to be short and sweet lol

And to answer that same question with the girl I've mention at least once, because I've been neglecting the poor babe:

 

She keeps her teachings in high regard and knows to be careful and wary, but even so she feels she needs to at least consider the idea that she should look at it on a case by case basis. The denizens of the Fade are exactly that, aren't they? Beings that live in a realm completely different to what's normal for her, so doesn't that make what they know 'normal' to them? How is she supposed to call demons bad exactly, when they come from a realm with completely different rules?

 

It's something to think about, she feels.

 

(Well, sh!t. I originally planned this girl for Cullen, but she sounds like she could fit with Solas if he's an option.)

This is a somewhat specific question and one I might not word exactly how I mean, so bare with me and I might make edits after I finish typing this.

Inquisitor Question Time:

Humans would have been taught a strict Chantry view of demons and spirits, elves would have been taught about the dangers of all spirits by their Keeper, qunari might have heard about the Qun's views of spirits and the Fade from the Tal-Vashoth in the mercenary band, and dwarves likely would have heard about demons and spirits from the mumblings of common people on the street or perhaps from the writings of Brother Genitivi we can find all over the place. Whoever taught your Inquisitor about spirits doesn't matter, but does your Inquisitor agree with them? Do they follow these ideas to the strict letter, think the teachings should have been stricter still, or do they have their own thoughts and idle wonders? Will they hear a demon out, even if it doesn't mean taking their offer, or will they attack on sight?

Gale is heavily briefed on the Fade and it's dangers, and being a more powerful mage, is pretty used to demonic temptation. He'd hear a demon out, but wouldn't hesitate to annihilate it if necessary.

I think it's really more a matter of choice, and unfortunately English doesn't lend itself well to saying it quickly. I think having a choice to have a romantic relationship in the game without sex being a requirement to continue it is fantastic. However, if that type of intimacy is never going to be a possibility with that NPC, it would be nice to know it up front so the player can chose whether or not he or she is willing to accept that limit on him or herself (this assumes that separating the romantic and sexual lives wouldn't be acceptable to the LI and the player, and I can't imagine most would accept such a separation). Most of us have pretty limited time to play, and this is obviously a game that a single PT will take a couple of months for most of us. It isn't unreasonable to want to know something like that ahead of time to make an informed decision. I'd be a bit upset if I started dating someone IRL, and they waited months to tell me that they'd taken a vow of celibacy and they hoped we were OK with that instead of telling me at the beginning. I might still date them, or I might move the relationship to friendship, but I could make an informed choice (after all, I didn't take a vow of celibacy).

Where's are bloody Cullen one??

[Dirgegun]

I love them! I love them so much! 

 

And I feel I'mma love Vivienne so, so, so damn much. Goddamn it, I want her in my party. I want her in my party, but I want Dorian and Cole in there too. This is a problem because I'm not into warriors and playing DAI without a tank sounds suicidal. ;n;

Maybe they're still trying to fix the audio issues?

   So awesome.  Hadn't seen the rest of them so I ended up watching several of those videos.  People at work are wondering why I'm giggling during my lunch.  Heh.

[Tishina]

I didn't think I'd like Vivienne (can't stand stuffy arrogant types), but I'm starting to think she could be a blast in party banter.

That video! Her voice! Obryn's lady friend! Vivienne style!

Oh my god..I'm dying! xD She is perfect and I think I will absolutely love Vivienne as a character. (Not my Inquisitor, but I will!) So sharp with dem words, ouch. I can't wait to hear more from her in game.

About spirit question to quizzys..

 

Skye: She has been raised in mercenary Tal-Vashoth group. I'd imagine someone has trained her in magic as well since no proper magical training can go very badly. Probaply her mentors view on spirits and demons have influenced her a lot. I'd imagine her still to be rather naive and gullible towards spirits. She probaply keeps open-mind ^^

 

Valpur: She doesn't think she needs to be associated with spirits and demons since she's not mage. She also relies in her own power and wouldn't take demons offers.

 

Tamarin: He will be vary but will still take advantage if it's offered to him and price for it isn't too bad. He is most likely to at least listen demons offers before turning them down immediatly.

 

Michal: He will be most against spirits and demons since he follows Chantry's teachings. Accepting Cole will be hard for him. He won't take demons offers and will be very vary of spirits too.
