I feel like it's going to be hard for me to choose my "canon" playthrough in DAI. For Origins and DA2 it was relatively easy but I feel like a lot of choices might hold me up while I play Inquisition, including LI. I love Solas but...what if Varric IS a choice. I'm not expecting him to be but what if? What iiiiif?

 

Also I haven't decided between female Dalish and female Qunari but I know I'm playing a mage either way (I always play the class/race that seems like it has the most relevance or excitement in the plot). What are you guys planning to do?

 

I was just thinking this the other day what if they do have Varric as an LI but he only goes for the female dwarves? They probably wouldn't do that but that had me thinking..... Oh and the same for Iron Bull :huh:

Why is everyone pretty sure Solas is going to be a love interest? Is it just because he seems the most likely from what we've seen, or was it hinted somewhere?

 

I've thought for a while he probably would be, though. I think the male love interests will probably be Solas and someone that's unannounced. Probably Dorian, or Cullen if he ends up being a companion. 

 

 

Mostly because there seems to be a tradition of elves being LIs and from the pickins so far, he seems a likely candidate. He appears to have been aged down from the initial concept art and the other confirmed male characters seem less likely. As cool as a Qunari romance would be, I would be surprised if IB was a love interest and hot daddy Warden doesn't seem the type. Varric is a hopeful but I don't think many of us really think he'll be romanceable.

 

Of course, we could be completely wrong but speculation is speculation.

I will probably do one human mage and one Dalish rogue, at least.

I'm sure it's because he is the only male elf in the group..and Bioware knows a lot of the fans love romancing the elves. :D

I imagine the assumptions are right, I just wondered if there was some developer hint or something, because it seems like I miss them all the time. lol

He is the first officially revealed male other than Varric. Iron Bull is a Qunari so people aren't expecting much there either.

 

Out of the ones revealed thus far I'd say Solas is the most likely male LI.

Well, the lore does state that humans find them desirable.  :P

Oh I've seen people try to pick apart the thing about Mr. Gaider writing two LIs and many are convinced that he wrote Solas based on his comments and they just put two and two together that way. I'm choosing not to read too much into dev comments yet, though.

 

Besides, I love Solas but I wouldn't be too upset if he wasn't a LI. I find his character interesting looking already and I just want to know more about him!

Why do they think he wrote Solas? Or do they just think he wrote Solas because they also think he's the love interest?

 

I think whether Gaider wrote him or not, though, he probably is the love interest. I mean, Gaider wrote two. That still leaves at least two, we can be pretty sure.

Someone should tweet one of the devs and ask how Solas's name is pronounced. It occurs to me that I really don't know haha!

Eh, I can't quite remember. It was something about him sounding protective of Solas.

I always figured his name sounded like solace and that's why the magazine got confused. lol

Sorry for my bad english it is not my native language but I want to say that I will create a 3D hair model personaly for Solas if he is LI and, I will need some help from programmers to add model to game.

 

But to be honest I don't think he will be LI. I think Bioware will hide who are LI till the release, just to give us some room for discussions, speculatings and other things that good for game advertisment. Also Let's think about previous romance options in Dragon age games. What we had before? We know that most people like different types of people, Some girls really likes good and simple guys with some muscules and with short hairstyle. Just look at the Alistar, he is just what most of girls like, then Anders, I think Alistar and anders wery similar, exept hairstyle, both humans, both with surprises, they even have simple noses and both like animals, dogs and cats. I nearly sure Cullen will be our third simple good guy in dragon age game, he is human, he is good guy, his face and hair colour remind me of Alistar, just need to play a game to learn about Cullen favorite animal. 

 

Some girls don't like simple good boys and prefer "anime" boys that looks a bit femine, tall and thin, with hard past, so girls can pity and hug such boys. So there we have Zevran, hard past? Yes, long hair? Sure. Can be mistaken with girl? Oh yes, just remember his lips and big eyes. Then Fenris, well he was even more femmine and thin then Zevran, only his brutal sexy voice tells us about his gender.

 

Can Solas stand near Zevran and Fenris? I'm not sure right now about that. He missed few things to be awesome as previous two elven LI. Personaly I was hoping to see someone like Sand from NwN2 but there is a lot of time till release, I think we will know much more later.

 

Thank to all who was able to tolerate my bad english and read all that wall of text =)

Are his personality and story as interesting? We have no idea but I don't doubt that he'll be a compelling character.

 

Looks wise, I'm sure most people would say no purely because he's bald and doesn't dress spectacularly.

I think bald is better than white anime hair and plain clothes are better than crazy jrpg clothes, but that's just personal preference. (and I do love Fenris for his personality even though I thought I would hate him before DA2 came out)

..i..i cant believe you mentioned sand..xD dude was amazing! 


DAT SASS

heheh, sand and vivivenne would get along well now that I think about it. but as for solas, he strikes me more of the..following the inquisitor to see to it that the veils are closed. since he's going to be a renegade type character possibly good and bad mixed, he won't mind the inquisitor doing bad things. as long as the veils are closed he could care less  :lol:

There IS something to be said about a character not looking interesting because they don't stand out. But quite honestly, Alistair didn't look like anything special either and look how many people loved him. Anybody who knew nothing about Dragon Age would have looked at him and just thought he was some generic dude. There was nothing particularly exciting or stand out about his design either.

 

I think people are just getting far too used to the extravagance that is Vivienne haha.

Yeah, Alistair looked generic but now I automatically identify an Alistair cosplay if they've got blonde hair and splintmail.  Solas' semi-generic appearance might actually make him more unique when compared to our other companions.  If I have 9 badass friends from different backgrounds,  a couple might dress fabulously, perhaps one would be goth, and the majority could be semi-stylish, there's bound to be that one wearing pajamas to the super market.  Pj Party Solas' underwhelming attire sets him apart from our more stylish companions ;)

What are you guys planning to do?

 

Male Dalish archer  ^_^

 

Second playthrough, male Dalish mage (it's an obsession, okay? :lol:), third playthrough, either female dwarf or qunari, fourth, whatever wasn't third.

Human male mage, then male Qunari mage. Probably a human male Warrior or Dalish male mage after that.

To be fair, he at one time had a bad ass mohawk ponytail and a sweet one-shouldered feather cape. :lol:

While I'll disagree on the white hair (I freaking love his hair, how it falls over his big puppy eyes... d'awww), I agree that his outfit was meh; once I learned how to mod xbox saves I put him in Athenril's outfit. He looks awesome in it!

Female elf rogue then female Qunari Mage. Depends after that on romance options and such.
