It hurts knowing some of the men they've revealed won't be available.

 

It hurts deeply.

I thought Sten looked completely human. When they talked about him as a beast I was just confused. 

 

Same here.  I played DAO completely unspoiled and had absolutely no idea that Sten wasn't human when I first met him, and for a while longer after that.  I also assumed at first that the Qunari were just a tribe of human barbarians.

It seems that our thread has been looking ahead, what about looking behind?

 

How do you think the 9 romances that came before will be referenced in DAI?

 

Leliana, Alistair, Zevran, Morrigan, Merrill, Isabela, Fenris, Anders, Sebastian all had romances (Isabela was also an option in DAO).

I mean at best we can hope for a line referencing it.

 

Like Isabela bragging about having slept with both the queen and king of Fereldan.

 

I doubt most of them will even be in the game.  But of those who we know are:

 

- If he's king, Alistair might make mention of his wife, whoever that may be (either the Warden or Anora, if anyone)

- Morrigan, if she has the demon baby, must comment at some point on who the father was or the fact that the Warden facilitated the ritual

- Leliana, since she's a bard and a storyteller, will probably mention the Warden whether she romanced them or not.

Honestly, I'd like any Morrigan reference to my Warden (female, full approval, did the DR, let her go freely through the mirror) refer to her as her 'sister'. That would just make my day, and it also makes sense for Morrigan's need to hide/obsfucate her past.

I would expect Alistair to mention his wife because that is very important relationship and it could be that his wife is your PC from previous games. I think that Morrigan will also mention who was the father of the OGB or something about her realtionship status. Whoever we'll meet from the previous LIs I would expect them to at least mention that they were with you if they stayed with you in the end like in DA2 only your LI will be with you in the end. Of course it's also possible that you don't spend enough time with the previous LIs so that there is no reason for them to say anything about their relationship status. If you broke up with the LIs before the end then I think it's more likely that the relatioship isn't mentioned at all.

[Kingthlayer]

Something I'd like to see possible in DA;I is for the companions to possibly build romantic relationships with themselves, not just ones that have been left alone by the Inquisitor but perhaps ones that's the Inquisitor is courting or perhaps may have already consummated their relationship.

 

What would be your reaction if one of your companions started chatting up your LI, or even worse the LI cheated on your with a companion?

 

I would probably strike down the companion in a fit of rage but calm down enough to either forgive my LI or exile her from the group.

[Giggles_Manically]

Having romances cheat would be a bad idea.

 

No one liked having Jacob outright cheat on them (though some viewed as just casual sex)

Though hearing someone yell WE WERE ON A BREAK could be funny

[Kingthlayer]

I'll be honest I don't know anyone who romanced Jacob, and I spent no time at all in his fan threads, but I always thought the problem wasn't that he cheated but that nothing can be done about it, Shepard can't win Jacob back, she can't leave them there to die, she can't start scrapping with Hawke.  It's pretty much hey I cheated on you girl, deal with it.

 

If it was a better written scene with actual choices, I think I might have played a straight femshep in Mass Effect 3 instead of being all over Traynor.

I don't really want to get too much into soap opera territory. I'm all for companions forming their own relationships - even after you may have broken up with one of them. But companions cheating on you I think would be too much.

Well....at the end of DA2, both Cassandra and Leliana were looking for Hawke and the Warden. So, unless they've completely given up on that, and simultaneously don't think there's anything suspicious at all about them being missing (which would be especially weird for a Leliana who romanced the Warden) - I would think if the Inquisitor came across any of their known associates, we would have a perfectly valid reason to ask where Warden/Hawke went.

 

So I would thus hope any previously romanced companion would be able to talk about Warden/Hawke. But then I worry we'll get into a bunch of cameos for the sake of fan-service/fairness. Cos like, Morrigan is a given, we'll meet her. Alistair is also pretty likely, since he's king in so many playthroughs. Anders is probably a good bet as well. But Merrill, Zevran, and Fenris? I don't really want to run into all of them just for the sake of a cameo, but I understand people who romanced them being sad if they ran into other previous LI's and not theirs.

 

It'd be cool if they only showed up if the were romanced, and you just happen to cross paths because you're both searching for the same person.

I wouldn't mind if one of my companions would try to hit on my LI if he would just ignore it or not participate in it. But cheating. That would be horrible. I don't know what I would do. I wouldn't forgive it. That is for sure. It depends what kind of person my PC is. It might be possible that I would keep both of them because I need them or I could exile both or one of them.

I never romanced Jacob primarily for two reasons: 1. I was put off by the way Shepard's voice went all sultry any time she talked to him for any reasons. All 'hey, baby' and such. And 2. By the time I decided to playthrough all the romances, ME3 had come out and it turned out as a disaster.

 

It wasn't so much the cheating thing that bothered me so much as it happened at the end of the world, so to speak. When Shepard didn't really need any of that crap. And the way it all played out was terrible.

 

I wouldn't completely rule out a cheating plot line, if it was handled well.

 

I'm not a fan of being able to kill someone over it. I think that veers to close into domestic violence for my comfort.

 

But, for the most part, I think it's an unnecessarily stressful addition to content that's there for some sort of slice of happiness or comfort.

Meh. There's a war going on. If they're essential to my party they can have sex in front of me for all I care.

Fenris was my LI in both of my DA2 playthroughs but I wouldn't mind if I wouldn't see him in DAI. I see that there is more reasons for Alistair to be present if he is a king. I guess if he is a grey warden then there might also be reasons why he might be present as well. But Fenris. Maybe not. Besides do we even know that Hawke's LIs have left her/him? Maybe they are still together contrary to warden who I think is missing alone because why would Leliana if she romanced warden would be the only LI who is separated from the warden.

[Felya87]

urgh. No. nonononononono!!! I can be ok with everything: stupid plot that need drama so kill off the LI or my PC, LI revealing being a traitor or a spy and doing harakiri to not betray the PC, or things like that.

but no. the cheating no. I can be ok if a desire deamon tryng to seduce the LI, but the cheating really put me off. I kill off Jacob in ME2 even if I have never made the romance with him just fot the nervous of his cheating in ME3 even if romanced. He alredy wasn't my top fav character, but I didin't have anything against him. he was there, he was quite bland, but I cared enought to be certain he didin't die in the suicide mission. the ME3 fiasco made me hate him. now, for him, only the tube.

 

maybe is just me. I can't stand cheater, because I think if a person cheat on his/her patner, he/she would be fine betrayng in others aspect of life too. I can't have faith in someone who can betray a person he/she have committed himself to. I prefer broke up with someone than being cheated.

[wright1978]

Definitely not a fan of LI cheating concept. Thought the whole Jacob thing was very poor.

Agreed. it's just random and they'll almost never have the male female love interests do it. That's something special for female players. That can screw off.

Well it’s not just you, for me cheating is the ultimate show of greed mixed with cowardice, and I certainly don’t want to endure some convoluted cheatin-subplot that would just make me rage.

[naddaya]

I'm kinda creeped out by how many people want to kill cheating LIs

and the lowest level of opportunism. Yes, I really don't want a repeating of Jacob. or Anders (even if is not a cheat, but is still betrayng the PC). As long as the betray is a consequence of choices of the PC, I'm fine. Like Zevran beray the Warden, or Alistair breaking up with her.

But really. the cheating Jacob was really low and bad taste. I would have preferred having him return to Cerberus and becaming an enemy.

Indeed.

 

Again, it really felt like the straight male Shepard was the big winner in the LI department.

Sometimes I have noted that gamers are fine with screwing over a NPC or doing really bad things to them. Then if the NPC has the gall to have done the same thing to them? They totally lose it.

 

I have seen people literally say:
"I told Anora to her face that I wont support her then she did not support me in the Landsmeet! THAT ******!"
 

Myopia is a funny thing no?

My current DA:O playthrough, my female mage is sleeping with Zevran while she waits for Alistair to finally be ready. Which, I would consider cheating.

 

However, Alistair and Zevran currently don't seem to mind. Alistair talks to Leliana about what I could possibly see in Zevran, but he still hasn't said anything to me. Hell, I even had a threesome with Zev and Isabella and asked Alistair if he objected, and he was like, "nope, gonna go take a cold shower tho!"

 

I know there's a point where one of them is going to make me pick between them, but I don't know what triggers that. But it basically seems like you can get away with a pretty large amount of cheating on DA companions before they care - even though they do notice it.

 

So I kind of think that's part of the reason for the hypocrisy. Companions are written so that they know about, but don't care, that you're "playing the field." But we are not written, we react like...real people. So maybe if the love interests were written so that once they knew you were sleeping around, they called you out on it, players would probably be less inclined to do it, and less hypocritical as a result.
