Ok, guys, please take it to PMs.

Well, it is a bit on-topic in regards to the romancing system with Merrill.

[Hellion Rex]

what is going on in here?

The usual, Steel.

Not when they've done this whole argument before.

[Divine Justinia V]

I just think you are using the wrong word. 

 

''If I say that someone is a husband, that doesn't mean I'm saying they are married.''

 

Something along those lines. Hot = good looking in a sex way. 

 

While I get what you're saying, I don't agree. That's not how it is for everyone, much less myself.. no matter how you want to spin it. Whether Merrill thought someone (m/f) was hot/visually pleasing, it doesn't necessarily mean anything because it's left to interpretation in a setting like DA2.

[RynJ]

Arguing semantics in the romance thread. Doesn't seem on topic! I just don't want this one to get closed too so perhaps more discussion of romances is best?

A lot of arguments repeat, doesn't seem invalid.

I have no problem with people using words to describe people in ways that I wouldn't use those words.

 

I'm just trying to support my interpretation of a line from the game.

[Chari]

Hot, adj - (Slang) Sexually excited or exciting

Hot - (Of a person) sexually attractive

I'm not arguing about Merrill currently, merely the usage of particular words. Did she actually say that Qunari were ''hot''?

Agreed. Though Kain and Div wouldn't be hostile enough to burn down the thread.

And that's totally fine! No one should dismiss your interpretation because that's the whole point of it I was just saying my opinion.

 

I actually did interpret it as Merrill possibly being bisexual, some didn't. I expect we won't have this issue, however, in DA:I!

I really don't care what a dictionary says, I know plenty of people that disagree and if you have anything further to say my inbox is open

No, but that's my personal opinion and experience with myself and several people. Also see above because I don't want to continue agitating other users in the thread.

Yeah, we're going to know who likes who. And be forced to play certain characters to access said content.

[Former_Fiend]

I am curious, though, Div, if you don't mind me asking;

 

How would you describe someone you saw who you wanted to sleep with, based solely on their physical appearance and without getting vulgar?

[Hellion Rex]

Yeah, we're going to know who likes who. And be forced to play certain characters to access said content.

I'm willing to make that sacrifice. If I get to experience a fully gay companion for the first time, you'd damn well better believe I'd throw out playersexual LIs in a heartbeat.

That would be a waste of my time. You may give additional semantic meaning to a word, but there is always a general, normative one
"Red" is never "green"

nah the usual is me getting into it with people over templars and knife ears or player sexuality....

 

this is a bit different

City Elves, Nevarra, our preferred romance system...

Usually something along the lines of "Jesus Christ almighty, that is one fine specimen"

Lmao no but seriously, I mean, I find Alexander Skarsgard to be one of the best looking men I've ever seen in my life. I think he's beyond sexy, and yes, I'd love to sleep with him given the chance.

I also find Brad Pitt to be hot but I wouldn't be interested in sleeping with him.

 

I can't really.. explain why it's like that for me, but it is.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I'm willing if there is 8 romances. Any less and it's a stupid change. 

[pallascedar]

Wait, didn't it hint at them maybe getting together in MotA?

 

I like to imagine they do. Poor Merrill and Carver both deserve a little bit of somebody loving them.

Merrill deserves better than Carver.

D'awwww! I offered you a way to continue without causing a problem and instead you continue with condescension. Incredible.

To you perhaps. But getting a fully gay companion means the world to me. So I'm glad for the set sexualities.

Well I wasn't so much asking for your type as I was wondering what word you'd use to describe them if you wouldn't use "hot". "Jesus Christ almighty, that is one fine specimen" is a pretty good declaration, though.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Your tone seems to have changed from what I remember a couple days ago.
