Even the characters I don't like usually have an interesting story to tell me.  I don't trust Morrigan in the least, for instance, and she usually irritates me with her disapprovals but she's got a whole lot of crazy in her back story and she's definitely interesting.  Without those stories the games would be a tiny sliver of themselves.  Without romancing or even agreeing with Solas you still get a weird new perspective (spirits are people, too) that deepens the world.

 

Same for me. In Inquisition Sera runs hot and cold for me though I'm in the like camp more than not. And I really dislike Vivienne, but she's not a flat character. She is how she is due to the circumstances she came up through, and she keeps her position by being both powerful and shrewd. Doesn't mean I like her self-centered, arrogant personality, but I think she feels realistic.

 

I had the same issue with Morrigan. I disliked her and didn't remotely trust her, though I let her drink from the well because my Lavellan chose to trust Solas when she asked his advice. My second will do it herself anyway. But even Morrigan, by the end of Inquisition, I sort of found myself liking a bit after she realizes she doesn't quite know everything and has grown up a bit.

 

It's a bit frustrating when someone tries to minimize your interest in something as down to romance or call that a deciding factor. Like, look at all of these other things I'm interested by/in/all the lore stuff and characters.

 

But this is one reason why I am here.

 

 

The first time I saw this scene, I was like "Bioware, you didn't!"  

 

The butt grab is still the best thing ever.  :wub:


There's a reason I use a shot of this as an avatar. :)

I really don't mind. I only play those BW games for character interaction (romance and otherwise), I say so honestly. They are the games I do not play for gameplay reasons or combat. But in average, I play through about 3-5 games per month. If anybody means to tell me I reduce gaming to a dating sim I can just laugh and turn away. Why the heck would I care? Life is so much more relaxed if we just turn away from what we don't like instead of allowing it to trouble us.

At that point I would just have to ask the people - so what? I love BioWare games for all that the characters are and maintain that they don't have to be bangable to be awesome and worth taking around with you in the big wide world. But if someone plays the game because they like a specific character, or they prefer the romances first and foremost, why is this bad? Are we to suggest that they are being silly girls? Does this take away from the possibility that they otherwise like the game? Why is it automatically a negative? Anyone suggesting there is something "wrong" with a person for liking a romance story might want to examine why they take pleasure in stealing someone else's joy.

 

Also, the slobbering stupidity of "youz jus liek Solas cuz he god" needs to die. Those who romanced him first had NFC. Those who ran through the romance after finding out so they could experience it and find they liked it did not necessarily like it because he's a god, but because it's a damn good romance. Wallowing in personal made-up negativity you project on others has to be a really crappy way to live life, yo.

 

Word. I was going to reply with these exact sentiments. Well said.

 

It's frustrating when people try to boil down how someone feels about something entirely to romance (or one aspect of the romance) when that isn't the case, for a tonne of reasons. But even if someone does enjoy a character/game/film/book 100% for the romance, or one particular reason, who gives a flying ****? Honestly, are the people that would guilt others for feeling something of this nature for something else threatened by this? Do they think they are the romance/gaming police? Just looking for something to **** on so they can feel superior? I don't understand. And no one reason for liking something is more valid than another, really. They're all just varying personal reasons.

 

Basically, who cares, world. Who cares. If it doesn't hurt you, leave it be. And if for some odd reason the idea of someone being really into something for romance reasons alone does hurt someone, perhaps those someones should visit a psychologist to work out some of their emotional baggage.

 

Anyway. You said it better, but I felt the need to ramble about this. ;3

I am so with you. I'd never been so enchanted by CGI in my life.

 

And then moments later, my heart fell into my stomach. Such highs, such lows: the Solasmance in a nutshell.

What drives me nuts is when people tell you that enjoying a game for whatever particular aspect will hurt the game industry because "pandering" and "fan service", like you enjoying something they don't like will influence all devs everywhere to focus solely on that.  Yeah, Solas has a sexy jaw.  I enjoy watching him talk.  That doesn't mean the next BioWare game will be a bunch of guys jutting out their chins and chatting for 53 hours just because a few of us like this one miniscule aspect of Inquisition.

Oh no, game companies might make games with qualities that people enjoy. The horror! The artform that brought us complex breast physics and space marines (which for the record, I enjoy), will be ruined when we start including characters with sexy jawlines. How ever will we survive?!

 

If popular demand for sexy jaws is such that DA devs think they need to make a game of 100's of hours of sexy-jaw-men chatting then more power to them. I don't know why people pretend like games made today aren't "pandering" to a specific demographic (i.e. the people who buy games). If they weren't, companies wouldn't be selling them.

In my experience, it's "pandering" when the poster in question doesn't like what the studio is doing, and "responding to feedback" when they like it :rolleyes: Yay English!

 

Besides, the devs are intelligent professionals capable of using things like statistics, language, and good judgment.  Which puts them a few evolutionary steps ahead of a lot of their detractors.

On topic: Solas' ears look delightfully bite-able.

Hello! Time for some art! :)

 

Solas and Lavellan. <3

 

LOL! My Lavellan's the same way. She prefers riding the dracolisk to the hart. :P

 

Modern AU Cole and Solas! "Cole and Solas are both studying philosophy but Solas is actually more interested in brushing up his Japanese"

 

"Get in loser! We're going shopping!"

 

An interesting take on Fen'Harel.

 

Poor Solas being attacked by ravens.

 

Poor Adaar is pining over Solas.

Debatable. The devs are a collection of human beings after all. And statistics are bull**** anyway. Good judgement, subjective.

Yup, he still leaves. It's pretty much the same for a non-solavellan playthrough, only he says he respects you instead of something romance-y before going.

I have a non-Solavellan playthrough that I finished.

Then I had 3 Solavellan playthroughs.

Then I tried another non and got halfway through and went screw this and deleted it.

Then I played 2 more Solavellans.

I tried another non and got to level 6 before I threw up my hands and deleted it.

Then I played 3-4 more Solavellans.

 

No, I'm not obsessed, why do you ask?
