Morning

[Who Knows]

To those of you who've planned a male-Quizzy to romance Varric, I have a question. If he ends up being straight would you be willing to roll out a female PC for him? Or are you just going to abandon the idea and go for someone else?

I would probably play a female PC unless I dislike both of the female voices (unlikely).

[Slukers]

Aaaaaand #2, though it isn't quite as exciting (or long... super sorry about the length of the first one, everyone!)

Okay everyone I am not doing this sorry it won't load for me and my only option is to refresh the page do it over and wait a ridiculous about of hours for it to load. Sorry.

 

Also what the hell happened in the romance thread? I'm not finish catching up but really what the hell happened in there?  Makes me a little nervous 

[Mrs.Chestbeard]

OMG...... Now when I make my manquisitor for Dorian, I won't stop thinking about this.

 

Yes! The plan is working!!

 

[Slukers]

The Trailer implied a canon girlfriend, which also implies a set gender.

 

 

Cheers, I dunno if I could play a Bioware game as a set protagonist...it just wouldn't fit well with their usual gameplay formula. If this is a completely different game from what Bioware usually makes  (ie not an RPG) that color me intrigued, though I'd really like another Bioware RPG, I'm also interested in seen how they handle a horror game.

 

Well I can have a canon girlfriend as a female... hopefully they'll remember that... I hope they let me, because I like character creation and almost always play a female when I can.

Your talking about that whole rape thing I presume? Yeah, that was pretty weird.

 

EDIT: I don't remember how it got started but they must've be pretty bored in there. Then again, I'm not really surprised, romance thread has been host to some pretty crazy stuff.

Yes the rape thing the 'I want a romance where it starts off as unintentional rape' that thats just NO just just no why? why? I feel like I need a shower just reading that

[blissfulbhajan]

Guys we need to be patient. Clearly Bioware is just testing us They are a higher entity and even though we can't understand their reasons for making us go crazy we must remain devout.

 

if I had any doubts that we were a cult before...

Im just wondering how long it will take for those people to start demanding that stuff is in the game, in the name of representation.

Yep, the whole thing was really uncomfortable. I guess this is what happens when Bioware starves us of info about the game. Hopefully, they release the LI's soon, so they have something else to chew on.

It works. Look at us Cullenites! (I'm a Varricite... Varricer... Varricen, too!)

[TheodoricFriede]

Did Bioware do whatever it was going to do at Comic Con yet?

[HuldraDancer]

wait wait wait... they are talking about raping characters in the romance thread???

 

Theres talk of some people wanting a romance that starts with the LI sleeping with the PC out of fear of what the PC will do to them, an example given was a family the PC saved and a care taker with either younger siblings or children being hit on by the PC and agreeing to sleep with them out of fear (without making it obvious so by tricking the player into being a rapist as well) It's just just NO NO bad thread bad!

[frostajulie]

in a similar vein, is there anyone here who's a lady and willing to make a manly man quizzy for that dorian tashe? because that's like the only reason i'm planning to.

See, this is why the romance thread scares me, just..... why...I don't.....uhhhhh..... excuse me I have to go scrub myself clean.

[Twilight_Princess]

That's it I'm getting the squirt bottle.

 

BAD ROMANCE THREAD *squirt* BAD!

 Ayup. it started when someone posted this: (I put it under spoilers because it might make some people uncomfortable to read.)

 

Spoiler

At some point I'd like to see the Bioware take on a romance arc that at least begins with the other party going along with it out of concern of what might happen if they didn't accept the PC's advances.

 

It would (hopefully) take a much brighter turn by the end, but the big twist or turn of the arc would be the realization that factors other than fondness or affection were dominant in the character responding to the player's advances. Playing through it your first time you'd think this was just another Bioware romance of the player initiating interest, but in retrospect you realize just how big the power imbalance was and the potential/implicit coercive power you held over the other person.

 

In the DAI context, it could be like if, say, the Inquisitor rescues a refugee family of orphans (say a sister and a brother, with the LI being the older caretaker) from a hellish warzone and takes them to the keep where they stick around and try to help out. If the player flirts with the caretaker, they go along with it however far the player takes it (even as far as bedding them the first night) because they are secretly afraid they and their charge will be thrown out if they don't. They hide the thoughts, so the player may think it's a genuine response of interest, but the potential reprisals for not being a happy and faithful and adoring love interest are the primary motivator for acting the part of a happy (not one will keep a miserable person around), faithful (no one will keep an unfaithful toy), and adoring (got to subtly stroke that ego) love interest.

 

 

By the end LI would realize/come to believe that the player character's interest was sincere, apologize for assuming malevolent coercion was ever intended, and a genuine relationship could form. Until then it would be a story of a person who is hyper-aware of the power imbalance and so goes along with an unsought relationship for all the worst romantic reasons but solid sensible concerns.

 

 

I imagine some players would miss the moral of the story completely by fixating on their viewpoint of having no malicious intent, some players would feel troubled but accept the forgiveness of the accidental offense because it could all work out happily in the end, and some would feel so ashamed of their role in the misunderstanding and accidental offense that they would never re-do the relationship and would question their own relationships by extension. And then there might be some people who have their respect  and/or interest in the character raised or lowered by the act of adopting the role of subordinate lover for such petty reasons (like that other family member).

 

It would be interesting to me, at least.

[HuldraDancer]

 What? Who on earth would want that? What is wrong with them...

Would rather not name the person though you can find it pretty easy in the romance thread and the fact that some people agree that it wouldn't be rape is a little worrying   Not a lot but a few. (Even though the idea was stated your LI is sleeping with you out of fear of you)

[blissfulbhajan]

Yes! The plan is working!!

 

 

I approve of all the disney gifs...

I am so glad many are speaking out against this option.  Thats not romance.  That's rape. Sex with duress is rape period.

If someone really wants that I've got a few Japanese VN's to link them to. Seriously, so many VN's... it kinda depresses me how many there are.

Yes please, I never thought I'd say this but if they're talking about rape over there perhaps it's high time for another argument about having equal LI options for all.
