Hey,

 

I just wanted to know (from the devs if possible), why the advisors are not romancable?

 

Can't be that you at Bioware are that afraid of a **** storm (I mean you got one with ME3 and didn't care all that much IMHO (EC-DLC does not count...It's a band aid/a patch at best)), can it?

 

I mean, after over 10 years even romanced advisors (Morrigan and Leliana) should be over their pining for the warden (after all: that character up and disappeared) and should want a relationship once more (and if rightly done, this would be really interesting, would it not? - There might be some insecurities pertaining to the wardens disappearance (like having to assure them that you will not leave in the middle of the night and never come back etc.))

 

So again:

 

Why did you (devs) decide that you will not offer those characters for romance?

 

greetings LAX

I think the best reason for Leliana not to be a romance is that we have been there and done that. (Um, so to speak.) If people really want to romance her, they can boot up DAO and do it there. I'd rather have them concentrate their limited resources on the eight characters (!) we've never had a shot at before.

 

Cullen and Josephine are both romances, so your thread title is a little misleading.

 

Pretty much this.  Part of the romances is a way to learn about the characters some more and a request like this is a lot of "write a romance that you've already written."  I'm sure there'd be some that'd be ridiculously upset, or some that feel that if they weren't romanced in DAO they should be romanceable now, but I'd prefer to try things with new characters.

That does beg the question of "Why are they in it altogether?"   Based on this logic we've learned about the characters already and don't really need them here.  Not to mention more than one was killable and adds to the fire "you choices don't matter" criticism, they've could of written new characters but they didn't.

 

Characters can do new things and tell new stories.  It doesn't need to be romance content.  In that there's stuff that we want to explore, create, and share as well.

But in the end they didn’t do it because they just didn’t want to which is rationality I’m fine with, I was just pointing out the hole in the been there done that argument .

 

There is no hole.  It's a "we've explored that and have no inclination to do so again."  David has literally stated this in the past.
