Because Josephine's adviser status means that you have fewer conversations with her and can't draw out as much info as you can for the companion romances.

 

 

I don't have much choice. I'm trying to see how other people make it work and then seeing if I can transpose it onto my own playthrough.

 

It just works, I don't 'make it work'  she is my favorite romance.  Josephine is very accepting, you learn a lot about her.  Her personality is more about her family, and the Game and nobles.  the Dalish are something perhaps she doesn't know enough to feel strongly about, or its simply not important to her...she seems to lean towards leliana's comments on mages.

 

Not every romance has to work for you or how you want to play your inquisitors.

 

You learn as much about her as you do any other romance option, in some ways more even, in my opinion.

 

Josie and the Inquisitor are attracted to one another, and their relationship is built upon shared time, talking about her stories, her background, helping her and her family....and the leadership and strength the inquisitor displays...

Josie doesn't have party banter, though. And that I think hurts. There's a lot of great characterization in the banter, and the advisors are missing out on that part. You can overhear her talk with some aids around Skyhold and that helps a bit... but it's missing the neat little background details.

She also misses out on the Approve/Disapprove things, which can help fill out characterisation

Yes, precisely. Both of these are major factors.

yeah the comments with the aids is where I got some of her leanings, but its not like ever LI has to have the exact same number of options for character development..I think we still get plenty with Josie

[Dgyre]

Not every LI is for everyone..

 

If someone doesn't feel there is enough development there as several of you have mentioned..then simply don't romance her...thats why there are so many different characters

 

it doesn't make her 'less' as a romance option in general

My difficulty is that I feel as though I have no LIs at all, much of the time.

Romance party banter isn't all that frequent as people want to make them out to be, and the advisors have their own banter 

[Qunquistador]

I found the whole approve/disapprove thing a bit simplistic, personally. And I think that even if the advisors did have that sort of relationship metric, it would be odd for someone who's trained in matters of diplomacy to be approving and disapproving of the Inquisitor's every decision. I'm glad it's not like that.

 

What I love about my Inquisitor's relationship with Josephine is how unflinchingly supportive they are of each other. I remember the scene after my quiz conscripted the Templars. Cullen's pissed and Cassandra probably is, too. But then Josephine steps in like: well, you wanted her to end the mage/templar war and that's what she did. This was pre-romance, obviously, but it still meant a great deal for my Adaar who didn't want to be in the middle of a war to begin with.

 

My quiz didn't agree with Josephine's approach to dealing with the HoR, but respected and trusted her enough to do things as she wished. I feel like Josephine has that same respect and trust for the choices the Inquisitor makes. To me that's the perfect dynamic for two people with such trying jobs. 

 

And the only time Josephine gets pissed that I can recall is when the duel gets arranged behind her back, and that's really the first and only moment where the trust between her and the quiz falters. My quiz doesn't trust her to handle the engagement her way and Josie doesn't trust my quiz won't get stabbed in the throat.

 

But it's fear that spurs their reactions and that fear is spurred by love, so it's all good. So yeah, if this relationship was as shallow as some might make it seem, I wouldn't be able to write all this ish about it   Anywho, I just saw this and thought I'd share: http://www.dragonage...-art-of-romance

 

Some bits about you know who in there.

You aren't supposed to. Josephine, or anyone else, are not designed to be smashed by the PC. It's fluff.

I agree, and in retrospect I think Bioware should have included banter for advisers. Rather than having characters consistently hanging out at their own little sections of Skyhold, perhaps some should have occasionally wandered around like the squadmates in ME3. You could for example walk into the garden and find Josephine, Leliana, and Vivienne engaged in banter.

I do agree with this and hoped they did that for the game

I love how Mass Effect 3 had that. Made the Normandy fill more alive with the companions and crew members being in different spots after the missions. I guess DAI didn't follow suit because ME3 is much more linear as a game and can be programmed easier, whereas DAI is more open world so it is harder to predict when you do what. I think that's why they did the messengers from one follower to another in DAI as some sort of compromise.

About advisor banter: here's an idea.

 

After each main story mission, we find a note on the desk in our room (reason to actually go there!) inviting us to take part in one of Josephine's Interludes (still mad we can't do that). That causes all the advisors to hang out in the same room and we can go talk to them there and we get some banter about the more recent events. No need for a cutscene or anything. Just put them all in the same room. Maybe have some of the companions show up too sometimes.

 

To make them return to their usual post, just leave the room.

 

Or something like that.

[DA]: Josephine’s romance has a sweet innocence to it. What was it about her character that took you down that path, Sylvia?

 

 

[SF]: I felt it suited her character, and what she herself wanted in a relationship. It seemed right to write a romantic arc for Josephine that was fun, and I indulged in a bit of rom-com silliness—A surprise engagement! A sudden rival!—that hopefully has a core of warmth people remember.

 

 

I also really wanted an over-the-top duel, because I thought that would be funny and properly melodramatic. It was in the back of my mind for a while but missing in the first draft of the romance because I wasn’t sure we could do it technically. I remember blurting out “so I want to have a duel” to David Gaider and a few other writers in the middle of some discussion, and David and the others kindly encouraged me to go for it. It was a lot of work for our cinematics team (thanks Richard) but I think they pulled it off incredibly well.

 

 

[DA]: Are Josephine’s parents still scouring Antiva for another suitor, or do you think closing the Breach and saving Thedas was enough to satisfy them?

 

 

[SF]: Josephine would have to take the Inquisitor home for dinner before they could be sure.

 

 

[DA]: Looking back on these romances now, what would you say you’re most proud of?

 

 

[SF]: Whenever people enjoy it! In the end that’s what you hope for, and it’s nice when you see someone played that part of the story and grew a bit fonder of the character as a result.

Josie's family appearing in DLC?

[Giggles_Manically]

I would love seeing that happen.

 

Just for the sheer lulz of seeing my Qunari being more terrified of her family than any demon or dragon he ever fought.

Or just go for a Shrek scene.

 

PC: Josie!

Josie: Inquisitor!

Mom: Josephine!

Josie; Mom!

Dad: Josephine!

Cole: COLE! 

-Everyone stares at him-

Cole:

I'd say Cole is more like Puss in Boots. Both:

are assassins

have big hats

have an ability that makes it hard if not impossible to be mad at them

 

Of the DAI followers, I'd say Sera is the closest to Donkey. 

 

 

Nora Valkyrie is awesome.

There is banter in the war room.  You basically ahve to hang out there staring at the map while your advisors chit-chat.
