Wow, even Sims romances are more complex and reactive than that!
I love it when I'm playing a couple, and somebody comes and flirts with one partner; the other partner comes storming in and is all, GTFO
I love it LOL
Oh Fable does that too! It's why it was funny. Once you're married in Fable, you don't have to do much - even less than in Sims, but bring home someone else and they go ballistic and divorce you. lol!
Yea, I don't like Fable very much. Probably a bad example that I used and should've articulated it better lol. I just find them overly simple in most Bioware games. It's like dang, if only it was that easy irl...
Well I see it as complete opposite. Maybe that's cause I don't have much to compare it for, I mean there is Skyrim with "romance" system but that's quite bad romance system in my opinion ^^; Sure you can have kids, husband/wife and house but it's just so random, no feelings there. Bioware has handled the romances best I have seen so far ^^
Hey, now! Buck up! PS4 is gonna make DAI look damn good, and at the very least, you and I can enjoy playing it on a big ass flat screen TV.
If I so chose, I, too, could play on a huge flat screen. OK... maybe not. I doubt my husband would allow it, but I could at least hook it up to mine (which is 42") since it already had a computer hooked up to it. 
So far the only game I've played that involved romances with children that I liked was Fire Emblem: Awakening. And the way the "children" were worked in was really clever.

Shush, Bev. Not helping lol
Y'all kill me with all of your super frickin' awesome mods for PC. I'll just be over here...playing the base game with the default pony tail and in-game armor on my console.
But at least I have a PS4. Yeah well, that doesn't matter, either.
PS3/PS4/PC the way to go. That's what I have. PC is nice but a little overrated.

Sims romances.. I really don't like some part of them XD For example, randomly a stranger sim can start flirting with your sim who is in relationship and then your other sims blames your sim for it and they start fighting, making pranks, slapping, fist-fighting, arguing.. in that point you just have to put another into room without door and wait until they have cooled down ^^; Ugh, sims need so much maintaince.
I have an Xbox One to play on. At least I'll be squeezing out most of what DAI can offer with it.

Hmm it depends; usually if the relationship is pretty firm and both partners are on good terms with one another... if a stranger sim tries to flirt with one partner, that partner will usually turn the stranger down. The other partner then won't fuss at the partner but at the stranger. I've had that happen.
I've only really played three RPGs, Dragon Age / ME (I count as one), Dragon's Dogma, and Skyrim. The latter two are a joke as far as romance is concerned. The romances in DA are the reason I ran out and bought an xbox, so I'd say they more than pass muster, as far as I'm concerned 
The best paced romances in DA and ME I'd say are Fenris and M!Shep x Kaidan. I say M!Shep only because it builds on a friendship from the past two games that clearly takes years to turn into something more. Really sweet. Of course there are a LOT of romances I haven't tried, like... any other ME romance as well as all the DA:O romances except Zevran.
Oh you people... I love you but I hope you don't get into another PC vs console war in our beautiful Cullen thread!
Look at the end of the day we are ALL going to be playing this awesome game, and it WILL be amazing, on any and all platforms. Even last gen.
I'm gonna probably play it on ps4, but I would never brag about it to someone playing on ps3 or xbox 360. I'd rather squeal and flail with fellow DA fans. I don't care how y'all play it, just PLAY it so we can talk about it!! 
Cullen will look equally handsome on all platforms. That's the important part.

I will never, EVER get over that romance. And it's the only reason I force myself to suffer through Mark Meer's voice acting (I know a lot of people like him - I'm not too impressed, myself).
I hope DAI has a romance like that. I mean one that feels EPIC, the way that broShep and Kaidan's was.

LOL No worries, that's the last kind of disagreement I could ever see this thread having

It really did have an epic nature to it, didn't it? I don't think DA:I will be able to replicate that because we aren't carrying over our main character. They really tried with DA2, making the storyline take place over seven years.
That's probably why I fell for Shoker *sighs* ... so many years together, the pair of them, and especially after that opening scene in ME2 *more sighing*
Well, I want to relate this to Cullen, but I get nervous talking about Cullen as a LI in DA:I, not knowing how that's going to play out 
But like I said, don't think we can expect anything on the scale of ME.

Agreed! We were just joking around!

I think what really sold it for me was my headcanon that Kaidan was straight, but then the right "human" came along who happened to be male, broShep's death possibly startling Kaidan into becoming more openminded about their relationship...
I kinda am hesitantly hoping for something like this with Cullen. If written well, might have a similar feel if he's romanced with a mage Inquisitor... particularly a male mage... eeeeee.
Probably won't happen, though. 
Let's see.. I have (fully) romanced Zevran, Morrigan, Fenris and Anders. I loved Zevran's and Fenris' romances, I prefer friendship with Morrigan (I feel it has more.. feeling?) and with Anders.. I have no idea what to think about that since I was so mad at him in the end (my first playthrough of DA2 ^^;
I always fail my Mass Effect romances. I tried Thane in ME2 cause.. Thane. He has very sexy voice that rivals Fenris' voice XD But I think some flirting options were really insensitive so I couldn't finish it. Like there was time when he was griefing over his lost wife and flirting option was something like: Forget your wife, I'm here! Look at me! Just ugh.
Then Kaidan died in ME1.. eh I need to romance someone D: Thinking of Garrus in ME2 with my ME1 character but I'm afraid I fail it too somehow ^^;
My Warden romanced/married Alistair and Hawke friendmanced Fenris, and I really enjoyed both. 
How will you feel if Cullen brings up his attraction to Amell/Surana with your Inquisitor?
...I'd probably fangirl a little over the mention of Amell, and then get back in character and be upset.

It depends how he brings it up.
If it's just sort of a "Hey, there used to be this chick" and there's some reasonable context for why they'd talk about it, my Inquisitor's response would be sympathetic about the situation. She'd be fine with having that conversation. She doesn't expect that Cullen was never attracted to anybody else in the past, so she wouldn't be upset in the least.
If it seemed like he was still carrying the torch, though, she'd be kind of annoyed and more than a little creeped out that ten years later he was still obsessing over a lady he barely talked to.
My Warden was a Cousland, so it wouldn't be the Warden he had the crush on, it would be some other person.

As long as your Inquisitor asks about Cullen's romantic history, or about his past with mages, I think it would be fine. Amell/Surana did play a big part in his life, if for no other reason than they rescued him from the pink bubble, and that he was tortured with the female mage Warden's image. I do agree, however, if it's implied that Cullen's still infatuated with Amell/Surana, I'll be a little miffed.
I think what really sold it for me was my headcanon that Kaidan was straight, but then the right "human" came along who happened to be male, broShep's death possibly startling Kaidan into becoming more openminded about their relationship...
Well, he must've thought he was straight, I suppose I'm not bi, so I don't really know how that works. I headcanon it like any other relationship... they were colleagues first, colleagues who grew to respect one another and eventually like each other as friends (and perhaps more). The fact that Shep was a commanding officer probably made things too weird. And maybe Kaidan, who's clearly bi (even if it wasn't scripted at the time ) had less-to-no experience with men, so felt awkward about pursuing things. Then you have the various showdowns between them in ME2 and ME3, and finally, just when the world's about to end, he's like, well, f*** it. I like you, damn it lol
That's part of the reason I like the thought of Cullen NOT working for the inquisitor. I don't want my inquisitor to be his superior ... it will just feel wrong.
Course I'm kind of like you and thinking we won't get the chance to find out with our quizzy fellas, but we'll see 
How will you feel if Cullen brings up his attraction to Amell/Surana with your Inquisitor?
Throw up a little bit in my mouth ... Sorry, not a fan of that pairing!
Bwahaha!
1 - Take me now, you stud.
2 - Naw, not tonight. You ate onions.
3 - ***Snore***
I scared my mom's poodle to death laughing at this. Poor Pixie.

Depends on how it's done. Like does he still have crush or is he just talking about fond memories. If it's still crush I'm weirded out since that's one long crush XD I don't mind much either way. Actually I'm looking more forward mention of Hawke. I hope there is scene where Cullen and Varric talk about Hawke
