I thought the DA2 male LIs were very protective of Hawke.  Anders' whole "I'd drown this city in blood before I'd let anyone hurt you" speech and all.  Very romantic there, Anders, thanks.  Also, Fenris snaps at Anders "if you hurt her I''ll rip your heart out" (paraphrasing) banter; heck, I think they have at least three separate banters if you romance one or both of them where they start catfighting it out.

 

I agree, though, I like somewhat demonstrative or aggressive men.  I hope at least one of the available dudes are like this.  (Also, YES PLEASE to another rescue mission or scene!)

 

uhm...I remember vaguely Anders's banter about the blood...but with what happened later in the game, I found all his romantic phrases where more an old residual of the "true Anders" (DA:A) and hypocrisy than really protective declaration of love. (I was very deludes by Ander's betrayal. expecially because it wasn't very credible...it felt forced)

And I never hear the Fenris's one (what is with all this guys having a name that end in "s"?) but I admit I end up loosing a lot of banters, thanks to both language and the rotation of the camera to read the sub. 

 

Still, it would be cute something a little more incisive than a banter than can easily be lost.

 

yess!!! a rescue mission would be great!!! Forth Drakon in DAO and the escape from the sith ship in KotoR are some of my most loved missions ever!

I wonder who will be restricted to what, my backup for Solas is Cullen. So if neither one of them are into dwarves, then I am totally going to be in a pickle. If Solas is into male elves, then that won't be a big problem. I was going to make my 2nd playthrough a male elf anyway, he'll probably look very, very feminine though.

Okay okay, in a perfect world where he IS a love interest and he DOES like the lady bits, I think you're fine with a dwarf. He was in a concept picture with a female dwarf after all. (Which actually doesn't say anything, tbh. But it helps a bit???)

 

Did you save a link to that at all? This is the first I've heard of it and would like to read it, if you don't mind.

The overly small (dwarf) and overly tall (Qunari) PC options are making me concerned, honestly.  I see them being race-gated more than humans or elves.

[Felya87]

I can only hope the restrictions are good with my choise of characters (I plan a Elf, Dwarf, and Qunari Inquisitor, but not a human)

 

So now I have to be worried not only that Solas don't like females, but that he have a fetish for humans too...

(just being silly here...I hope... )

I'm probably going to be satisfied with the romances even if a broodmother is an option, which would be something.   I think right now I should be more eager on knowing what he's like first. He could be the creepiest, weirdest elf ever.....damn that doesn't help I still probably would like him.

No worries, I don't think he's the gay option.  That'd make both elf companions gay (Sera is the confirmed lesbian) & I don't see that happening.  David Gaider also said he wrote two companions and two romances - we know Cassandra is #1, but Solas isn't confirmed yet for a writer so he could be #2?

I think weird elves even more interesting to romance than normal ones.

have we ever had normal ones?

[ScaryGiraffe188]

Yep, that's kinda why I'm hoping Solas to be awkward and weird. It'd be interesting to see a romance with someone like that, of course Merrill is already a bit like that but more in an adorable sense.

Gaider probably wrote Cole, but Cole non romanceable. Well, there are 2 possible solutions. Gaider wrote Cass, Cole and Solas. or Cole is not Cole and was written by someone else.

Yea, I agree, Cole is probably his character, but he also said he wrote two romances - while also saying that Cole is non-romanceable (basically).  I'm thinking that maaaaaybe Jen Hepler wrote Solas & DG took over the romance once she left Bioware?  I dunno.  Speculations!

[illymiel]

have we ever had normal ones?

Let me think.

 

Anomen from Baldur's gate? Absolutely no.

Tsundere Valen from Nwn Hotu? No no no

Sky from jade empire? Maaayybee

Carth from Kotr? Well, he was bit tsundere but I can call him normal

Alistar and Zevran? Nope nope and nope

Mass Effect Kaidan? Not sure, may be others can say if he is normal?

Thane Garrus and other aliens? They are damn aliens! It can't be normal

Anders and Fenris? Nooooooooooooooooooo

Can' say about Star wars romances, because I romanced only 3 companions, and it was fun, but hardly normal. Wait, Bounty hunter romance was normal!

 

So I can say yes, there was normal and well done romances, but weird love have its charm

but yes, a maybe some rare case of normal romance there was...but I can't really give a name...maybe Traynor was normal? (I've never tryed the lesbians romances, so I don't know...)

Yup,  I think if Varric and The Iron Bull are romanceable they will both be race gated.  I think I can safely say that none of my PCs will be going for The Iron Bull, even my Qunari PCs.  

I really hope that Solas is available,  I don't want my Femelven PCs to be stuck with Cullen (I'm not even considering that Blackwell will be romanceable - no more terminal LIs for my PCs   )

[DragonRacer]

I do remember it being said by a dev (I think David, actually) that the character Jen had been working on basically had to be rewritten from the ground up because of her sudden departure.

 

Actually, given that and if it WAS Solas, maybe that even explains a bit of a lag behind in getting info about him? Since all the other characters had a "head start" in finalization, so to speak?

 

Dunno. I'm bored and going all screwy for some info so I'm just blabbering at the mouth instead.

[Karm]

Now that we know about race playing a part on restriction as well, I have to wonder how many people are gonna turn down my Qun!Quizzy, or maybe they'll just run away from me

Oh, about elves!

Traynor?

No, I don't remember normal elves. They all were weird. And that is exelent!

[Cezelle]

My qunari inquisitor is going to be a lonely lady then if the romances will be race gated (dunno if they all are so this may not make a lot of sense ) but even if Iron Bull is the only option for a qunari I don't think I'll romance him, he doesn't appeal to me at all unfortunatly. Cullen was going to be my second choice too because he's at a "meh, he's okay I guess" state for me, and Solas as my first choice ofcourse, I'm afraid my elf is going to be the only one who gets some loving. I'm okay with that though but I'd much rather stick to elves and qunari than make a human (who I've seen and played enough of by now) especially to persue a certain romance that I'm not incredibly excited over. But in the end I'll probably try most of them anyway. Weird elves = best elves, definitely, I intend to make my first elfquisitor really cute in appearance and then surprise everyone by punching them in the face when they talk **** about her, the inquisition or her loved ones 

[CARPOOL]

The overly small (dwarf) and overly tall (Qunari) PC options are making me concerned, honestly.  I see them being race-gated more than humans or elves.

Naaaaaaaw~ I think dwarves would be fine with Solas!
Qunari on the other hand... ... ...

Taking into consideration Sera and Iron Bull's banter about him being able to throw Sera (an elf) and Varric (a dwarf), I think they could be considered 'small'. ('Small' being dwarves and elves maybe, 'medium' being humans, and 'large' being qunari.) I thought about grouping dwarves and elves together as 'small' and humans and qunari together as 'large', but I do recall Morrigan and Stens banter about Morrigan being 'a little less animated' if they were to copulate. (Though how serious Sten was actually being, I do not know.) Then I reflected upon Iron Bull's character profile and how it stated that he will "hop into bed with anyone he’s reasonably sure he won’t break." If Varric and Sera are small enough for Iron Bull to throw, and if Sten could joke about possibly hurting Morrigan, then I have a sneaking suspicion Iron Bull may be qunari exclusive. (Maybe he'd be cool with humans too, since he can't throw them) And, if that's the case, why wouldn't our qunari Inquisitors also be qunari exclusive? (Or be restricted to 'large' or 'medium' sized characters?) 

Solas is quite tall for an elf, taller than Cassandra in the 'We are the Inquisition' image. But he is shorter than the Dorian, Hot Moustache Guy. (thanks lspan!) And Dorian, as we saw in the E3 demo, is like a head shorter than then qunari inquisitor! So I have a feeling he may have a dwarf, elf, MAYBE human preference. But I'm kinda pulling this speculation based off of Iron Bull and, hey, I'm not sure not all the characters think like Iron Bull. 

Also, please take this with a heaping of salt. While logical, it's really a lot of 'out of thin air' speculation on my part.

And, like I said before, I'd really just be happy if Solas was a love interest. Happier if he liked the lady-bits, happiest if he was okay with qunari. Buuuutttt, the line has to be drawn somewhere.

So without further ado, I'd like to not have most of my morning posts be about which bits go with what bits and, instead, mull over this:

Why are all the male elves we've seen so far, in Dragon Age Inquisiton, bald? Male elves that come to mind are Solas and the dead elf we found in the field in Sera's introduction.

but yes, a maybe some rare case of normal romance there was...but I can't really give a name...maybe Traynor was normal? (I've never tryed the lesbians romances, so I don't know...)

I think Steve had a fairly normal, relaxed romance. Barring his "overcoming grief" cliche (Not that I mind that), and also the fact Shepard sweeps Steve off of his feet when his husband hadn't even been dead for very long.

[Roxy]

Well if Solas is only into elves that's not going to bother me (maybe a little) but I was planning on playing a female elf anyway in my second playthrough,might just have to play her first then lol 

[ScaryGiraffe188]

Sorry to be going off subject but, If Solas is a necromancer (and I have a pretty good feeling he is, but you never know) then he is probably from Nevarra which could mean he might have a Nevarran accent like Cassandra. 

[chrislynn]

Heh, the racial restrictions on some romances doesn't surprise me. In addition to David's comments, I think one of the Marks had tweeted a comment that implied the same thing. Combined with the comments David has made about adding Qunari as a romance and the challenges that come from a cinematic design point of view combined with the need to stay with in word and money budgets, it just makes sense. 

 

Without more information, my take is that this makes a Varric flirtation more possible than it was before. Maybe not a full blown romance but something extra for female dwarfs. If Iron Bull is restricted to other Qunari or maybe humans (though at that point, elves aren't that much smaller), I would still hesitate to say that he will be the only choice for Qunari players. But there may not be as many as human or elves due to the nature of the story lore and size difference. In a way this isn't a bad thing. I'm inclined to play female elves or humans mostly and if there is content available to dwarfs (like Varric) then it adds another play through. And then a Male play through for Dorian or Solas if that is the only way to romance them. Races don't get me to finish a game multiple times, but different romance content will.

Yooooo Traynor's was so sweet and a bit quirky too. Shower scene aside, because we all know Bioware romance sequences get a bit... 'eghhhhh-ish', I found their relationship quite endearing. Especially the part where Traynor wanted a house, with a white picket fence, and a dog! I was like 'qurl, we can have whatever you likkkkkeeee'. 

 

 

Gaider probably wrote Cole, but Cole non romanceable. Well, there are 2 possible solutions. Gaider wrote Cass, Cole and Solas. or Cole is not Cole and was written by someone else.

He could have wrote scribbles.

We all forget about her because barely anything has been released about her, but he could have wrote scribbles.

The three characters not accounted for, via that list I compiled yesterday, are Solas, Dorian, and Scribbles. Due to a something-something I recall reading somewhere about Patrick Weekes (which I am beginning to question if it is even him due to how much I've been name dropping him) trying to avoid the common pitfalls straight writers fall into when writing homosexual characters, it is possible he is writing for Solas OR Dorian. I used to think he was writing Scribbles because I was certain she would be the female homosexual love interest (if my survey theory was incorrect), but now that Sera has been revealed, such a theory has been tossed out the window. Patrick Weekes also is the the writer for Iron Bull and due to his sexual tendencies being "anyone he’s reasonably sure he won’t break" via the character profile, I'm assuming he's good for any gender as that isn't a gendered statement.

La-dee-da-dee-dah, I'm kinda losing my train of thought, but it IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE he could be writing scribbles. Yes, Gaider defended Solas in that one thread, but that doesn't automatically mean he wrote him. Heck, he could be writing Dorian. At this current moment I suppose I'm just trying to not get our hopes up and look at the facts: everything is up in the air and no one is safe.

This exactly, even though romances are optional it adds a lot of replayability to a game for me. I don't think I'd play the game three more times just to see how the DA universe will react to my inquisitors race (this goes a lot further now in DA:I ofcourse with certain missions being more difficult when you're qunari or an elf but still). And just because I'm a romantic at heart I always try to romance someone every time I play the game so romance is a lot more important for me than it might be for other people
