We will never get his video because they had technical difficulties. (Stupid Slipknot  )

I agree, although I do sort of like how Zevran and Fenris are a bit more "subtle" I mean they essantially tell you they love you without acually saying the words and I don´t know I sort of liked that I guess That Anders had me laughing and cringing simultaneously and the fact that Hawkes lines  during that scene were sort of cheesy as well,well let it not be said that it´s not an amusing romance

I would say Zevran and Fenris are more subtle than Anders or Alastair, whom I both adore, althought I FOUND a lot of their lines cring inducing and my HAWKES AND WARDENS lines as well cring worthy during the romance. I JUST say that it was made up by Varric, since he loves the purple poses.

The cheese factor is partly why I often avoid F/M romances... like Alistair giving a female Warden a rose... really? lol The trope gets turned on its head when Alistair gives a male Warden a rose (in a modded playthrough). Hence why I like playing games that way. 

 

That said I think Fenris and Zevran are the two least cheesy male romances thus far. Zevran isn't particularly romantic and is purposefully over the top (despite how deep his feelings may run) and Fenris pretends he has no feelings lol 

 

I would add Anders to the list, but he has that dumb line about "bathing the city in blood" to protect you, which sounds cheesy and also creepy My male Hawke is like, wow, relax darlin! But if I had a female Hawke and he said that to her I think she'd nope right on outta there!

 

 

Um. People play games to escape.  Some people like cheese and its their right to like the games they want to like them.  Its called Escapism.

on my most recent playthrough I accidentally clicked on Alistair right after a battle ended in Return to Ostagar, and it triggered the rose cut-scene while we were covered in blood and standing in front of King Cailan's corpse lol. Great timing there, buddy.

 

Speaking of Alistairs impeccable timing, my last playthrough he gave me a rose in Orzammer, everyone had been nasty to the dwarven kinslayer, Bianca Aeducan, I clicked on him and he made it all better.

Sadly, my first self-insert, fem!Cousland, (Warrior Cousland) ended up with no choice to stop Alistair from sacrificing himself to kill the archdemon and save me. I started Awakening, but didn't play much, because I heard Anders was romanceable in DA2, so I went straight to DA2 and played as Rogue fem!Hawke, and romanced Anders. I didn't know much about Anders when I played DA2 (for the first time). Hell, I didn't even know about Justice. I was told by a dear friend of mine that things will be much different if I don't play DAA first. Totally different perspective. Nothing wrong with it, just different way to see things. I also heard few people played that way, so I really wanted to try something different than most usually did. And even after DA2, I'm one of the few people who still like Anders. Oh, as Hawke, I also sided with the mages, because I didn't want Anders to die, and because little sis was in the Circle. And you know the story how I started to like our dear sweet Cullen.

 

Speaking of the mage/templar problem, if there was a way to broker a peace, THAT would have been my choice. By the end of DA2, after observing both sides, and seeing neither of them was right, and they all made mistakes and all, I had no intention on siding with either of them (mages or templars). I liked Varric: "Oh, I'm sick of mages and templars!" or something similar, not sure I remember the line correctly. But, unfortunately, there was no way to make peace. So, since you are forced to pick a side, in that PT I had enough reasons to side with the mages, as I mentioned above.

 

I haven't played all origins yet, and I won't have time to finish them all before Inquisition, but I am planning on playing the origins I have left, at least the beginning, until Ostagar, because that's where you find new things.

 

And, I used to have a thing for the "oppressed" type of characters too, before even playing DA. But now, I like all types of characters. I never know what to choose actually.

 

For my first DAI PT, I will import (from the Keep, of course ) my Cousland's WS  (self-insert, Warrior) and my Hawke (self-insert, Rogue). And I will also play a self-insert in DAI, and (I think this is already obvious ) I will romance Cullen. And since we are on the self-insert topic, I've just remembered: it has been confirmed that Hawke will be in Inquisition. So, if we really can make her look like she was in our original PT in DA2, that would be something glorious to see... at least for me. Because I will have a self-insert Hawke, and I will play a self-insert in DAI, so I imagine it will be like meeting my twin or something. lol! I was just thinking about it, and thought: "That would be so much fun!" I will deliberately create two identical self-inserts, if given the chance, just so I can see how that turns out and have fun with it. What do you think about this? 

 

I think that the first playthrough will be the deepest one you'll ever have. It's all about the "new" experience of it, you have never tried to do it before so you don't know how it will turn out. At second playthrough you already know most parts of the repercussions of your actions so... if you want to do self-insert, better do it at the first one. And romance Cullen on that one.

 

Um. People play games to escape.  Some people like cheese and its their right to like the games they want to like them.  Its called Escapism.   

 

 

I agree. And also, cheesy or not cheesy it's very subjective. And why should being romantic considered Cheesy? For me it's a part of the "game of love" itself. There are moments you are having to face so many things that finally a soft & romantic moments are just simply wonderful. There are always moments that you might feel down, tired, lonely. If you want to consider all soft & romantic moments as cheesy, then life would be simply hard. For me at least. I'm a sucker for romances and soft moments.

What VA video???

[MacyNell]

 I think Artemis was just stating her own personal preference. I honestly don't think she minds if we like a bit of cheese with our romances.    

[gamerSSV]

Damn, I had pre-ordered Amazon's version for PC...

I will be playing on the PC as well. My XBox 360 got fried. Nasty rainstorm, with lightenings and everything.

[alwayshungry]

What VA video???

Greg shot a VA video back in April, but we'll never get it because Slipknot were recording in the studio that day and they couldn't fix it.

[HurricaneGinger]

Dang, seems like everytime I come in here now people are asking about the VA vid. Stop opening wounds, it's still too painful to think about! XD

[wiccame]

I got mine in camp, and it was such a sweet moment. I also loved it when I gave him his mother's amulet. He was so touched. *grin*

Lol I always take him out alone for him to give the rose. I like making him fluster when I suggest we don't need a tent

DA Fan ‏@DA_Fan_Official 

@hilaryheskett last EA Access question, is the 6 hours up to a point in the story, or on a timer?

 

hilary h shapiro ‏@hilaryheskett  

@DA_Fan_Official - Both.

[Milan92]

Ah, so you either reach a certain point in the story and the trial will be over or it will be over when you reach those six hours.

 

Smart choice. This way they can prevent people from doing speed runs.

[CuriousArtemis]

And even after DA2, I'm one of the few people who still like Anders.

 

Nonsense, lots of people love Anders! I bet more people romanced him than Fenris. I definitely love him

[Riosred2]

Sorry, I'm out of the loop...however, I am now also freshly wounded...lol

No worries; I know not to take offense from certain sources these days

[MidgetNemo]

Hey I have a question,do you guys think that Haven is also a part of the prologue?

[CuriousArtemis]

I will be playing on the PC as well. My XBox 360 got fried. Nasty rainstorm, with lightenings and everything.

 

My 360 is not fried but I'm no longer able to download much of... anything... because it's 20G harddrive is full Yes kids I have a 2005 refurbished xbox with a WHOPPING 20G harddrive. I couldn't start a new playthrough of DAO/DA2 if I tried!

[CuriousArtemis]

Hey I have a question,do you guys think that Haven is also a part of the prologue?

 

I thought the prologue took place near the urn of sacred ashes.

 

EDIT: WHICH IS IN HAVEN. *faceplma* Durr So yeah, I think you're right.

High fives girl to Anders loving.

How long will the prologue will be? I heard (if I'm not mistaken) in one of the recent gameplay videos that the prologue is about 1.5 hour

And some people want to escape from cheese

Holy sh!t  I've been avoiding gameplay videos so did not know that. (Don't worry, I don't consider that a spoiler.) Well I guess it's more akin to the DAO origin prologue than DA2's Lothering prologue. Or perhaps Skyrim's Helgin.

[Melca36]

 I think Artemis was just stating her own personal preference. I honestly don't think she minds if we like a bit of cheese with our romances.    

 

Perhaps.  I'm just getting really tired of being made to feel bad because I can romance some characters and some can't.  This is the Cullen thread. I want to share in the joy. I don't like feeling made to be guilty because I like different things.
