Variety is the spice of life indeed.

That's more a swinger's thing than a lesbian thing though... I'm one of those boring monogamous types.

Nah, I discriminate against men, I'd be a turrible swinger gurl.

You can swing with just girls...

 

Anyway, back to Josie.

How does this always happen when I'm in the same threads as you?

Seriously speaking, I don't see Bioware trying to pull the OT3 again (sigh, I miss Jade Empire), and I'm pretty sure companions hooking up with other partners if the Inquisitor isn't interested will be limited. Just because Sera and Josephine are both interested in women, it doesn't mean they will end up together. So far, my bet is on Cassandra and Cullen, and it's been so since I read Cullen's description in the character section of the official web page.

I'm curious as to why you think Bioware wouldn't go either of these routes? Legitimately curious.

 

I never said Sera and Josephine would end up together just because they both like women, I was merely pointing out that there is a possibility there that would likely be quite interesting to experience (imho), and not because they are both women, but because I find their personalities (what we know of them) quite interesting together. You could argue that in times of war/strife more important things take precedence, but in the same vein you could argue that there is no better time then in war/strife to grab for a tiny bit of happiness that gives strength and something to fight for on that very personal level.

 

I'm not sure why Cass and Cullen would come together, honestly, especially as he is only interested in female and elven mages in relation to the Inquisitor. You could then ask what Cass has that means a Female Warrior or Rogue Human Inquisitor clearly doesn't (but a Female Mage Human/Elf does). I'm not saying everything has to revolve around the Inquisitor when it comes to romance, but someone playing a female human warrior that may have wanted to romance Cullen then seeing him go for Cass after rejecting her would feel like a bit of 'wtf'. But just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

As for the idea of Josie/Sera ship it could be a case of opposites attract. Sera is quite crass and impulsive whereas Josie is more refined and demure. On the other hand they might not get on well at all, those personalities could clash.

There are no class gates, jut race and gender (which is enough).

 

That's an interesting scenario you suggest. It's apparently possible to lose enough approval with our lover that they would ditch us. To have them hook up with someone else, who we also work with, after that? Ouch.

 

The one thing that worries me about the approval system is that we'll have to agree with our lover about everything to avoid losing approval. I hope it's possible to disagree with them in such a way that they respect us for standing our ground.

Because the romances are already a can of worms as they are for Bioware, and I'm sure they wouldn't like to complicate things for themselves even more.

 

It's interesting to note that the romance in Jade Empire followed the ME and ME2 route. In those three cases, the romance was the climax of a personal relationship and damn near the end of the game, just like the cherry on top before the final battle. On the other hand, so far Dragon Age has shown romances as a natural part of the situation in-game. The Warden and Hawke could be known to have lovers for a long time before the end was near. If usual relationship dynamics are difficult to implement in a game, imagine about a threesome.

 

Of course, that's only if there's a romantic relationship. If we're talking just about a one-night stand like Isabella's in DA:O or Zevran's in DA2, I don't see any problem to implement it.

But just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

 

Cullen is not class-gated, only race-gated, so that argument is invalid. Another thing is that he was interested in a mage Warden in DA:O, but that's all.

 

I place my bets on those two because of birds of a feather. They have similar backgrounds, warriors fighting for the Chantry, and they also rejected their peers' rebellion against the Divine. Cullen's description also tells us that he caught Cassandra's attention before the game takes place. Not enough, I know, but when you compare their situations, he's at a better position to romance Cassandra than the Inquisitor at the beginning of the game.

I appreciated the friendship/rivalry system in DA2 because, flawed as it was, it still provided a way to eran your companions' respect without agreeing with them. Let's see what happens in DA:I.

Ahh you're right, no class gate for Cullen. I got it confused with a humorous comment someone made about the romance being further gated to class cos Cullen only wanted fem!Inquisitor!mage to roleplay his fem!Warden!mage fantasies in the bedroom. Thanks for setting me straight, that class gate comment had somehow become canon in my head.

 

Well, insofar as I imagine it, the romances between party members probably wouldn't start at all if you broke up past a certain point where them getting with someone else was no longer viable. But then, ex-LI then going after another party member on the rebound in any scenario would feel like crap too. Maybe it would be disabled altogether if you have been romantically linked to one half of the party member romance? Anyway..

 

I agree with what you said regarding your worries over the approval system. Hopefully there will be small ways to make up for minor loss of approval, whereas the much bigger conflicts of interest would be the ones that really threaten break-up or character leaving the party altogether (not sure how that would work with Advisers as I doubt they would just quit their important job..). That would be more realistic, especially in times of strife where tensions are high and nerves easily frayed so disagreements are bound to occur naturally. It would be similar to what they did in DAO, but tbh I hope they don't use the gift system again; with the exception of giving that one gift that really means something to LI (which would be a nice little feature), it feels like a cheap way to win approval.

 

EDIT to add: I didn't mind the rivalmance/romance system in DA2. Rivalmance can be pretty hot, and interested to see how that would play out with characters like Blackwall and Cassandra (or any of them, tbh).

[CrimsonN7]

I dunno why but I have a feeling that if they were gonna hook up non romanced characters like they did in DA2 Cullen/Josie is my best bet. Even though I don't get the appeal of Cullen myself, find him bland but yeah Josie might like him.

Ever heard of U-Haul gals, bahaha they are numerous. F/F RL's can get serious quick, its very common in our community.

Yep! I remember this girl I met off a dating site. We went on one date and when I said I didn't want to see her again she acted as though I was asking for divorce after 10 years of marriage.

See I can see this happening much easier then Cass and Cullen, too. This may be a cheap argument to make, but if they're stuck together while Inquisitor and the party members are off fighting, it would be an opportunity for them to get to know each other and share the heavy burdens of advising. But then, that would be assuming they hang around at your keep while your away, rather then having any sort of external life, which adds to my point about mine being a cheap argument, even if it is valid..

 

As for Cullen's appeal, I haven't seen it in DAI because my head canon favors him being some sad sap who will forevermore be hung-up on fem!warden!mage, never to love again. I did find him quite fetching in DAO though - I love guys that are all awkward in their affection and fun to tease mercilessly (however, Alistair bored me to tears).

Ugh Alistair, he annoyed the life outta me.

 

And oh yeah good point about them working closely together back at Skyhold, it's a ship I can see floating. Perhaps Josie would be more his type than hot-tempered Cass I feel. Then again I'm not the best person to guess Cullen's taste in women, should ask a fan of his instead.

I could see Josie with Cullen. They have good complimentary strengths and weaknesses. He's eager to use force, she pushes for peace. She lacks the will to do unpelasant things even if necessary, he has it.

Hellfire, Cullen would steer Josephine poorly. We should keep them apart at all costs.

Why would he steer her poorly? and what's more, who's saying that just because she pushes for peace that it makes her some kind of pushover when faced with a force-orientated character like Cullen? I don't get the impression that she would be steered anywhere unless she was convinced in her wisdom as an adviser that it was the right thing to do for all. She's not a new hand at this.

We don't even know in which direction Cullen will go in DAI. Maybe before judging we should wait and see? Not that i care either way if they get together. They won't in my first and my canon regardless of the option .

Cullen will be cleaning toilets and die from various germs in my playthrough. So this scenario with Jos' probably won't happen.
