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.

To be honest that "already wrote about that" argument tends to make me side-eye it a little, because it seems to operate under belief that a person falls in love/goes through romance the same way each time, and that I think is pretty far from the truth. And I'm pretty sure there's more to each character than the few conversation snippets and few bits of trivia we get to learn about them as part of what functions as romance in these games. So there doesn't necessarily have to be much, if any, overleap there.

It'd be actually interesting to me to see *another* take on romance of the same character, when they're older and went through lot of different, new experiences that possibly challenged their old beliefs. If just because "it's someone different and new each time" gets old itself eventually, too.

No. Morrigan does not swing that way.

 

Additionally, someone as carefree, as mysterious, as independent and as entropic as Morrigan with someone like Leliana....Ugh...Distasteful...

 

If Morrigan should be in a relationship with a female, it should be either Velanna or Isabela or Vivienne.

For all of this Threads Fallacies, demanding a Romance BETWEEN Morrigan and Leliana is none of them.

If you want a reason I'll give you one:

 

Both of them have infatuation with the Warden (similar how Liara had with Shepard in ME) and Warden is their true love even if they werent romanced. This will be apparent when your flirt line fails.

 

I hope not. If they were not involved in a romance with the Warden in DA:O, or if they were involved in a romance but that relationship was broken off in DA:O, they shouldn't pining for the Warden 10 years later. They should have moved on many years before. 

 

Single Morrigan or Leliana shouldn't turn down the Inquisitor because they love the Warden. They should turn down the Inquisitor either because they aren't interested or because they are involved with someone else.

I agree with BioWare's decision NOT to make Leliana romancable.

 

In my "canon" Dragon Age: Origins play-through my Warden romanced Leliana and they lived on their lives together after the events of Origins. I head-canoned stuff after that but the point is that we had a choice back in Origins to romance Leliana, and I took that choice and my Warden survived and in my head they STILL love each others even though they don't always have to be at each others' side for the rest of their lives. I do really like to think that Leliana had a small discussion with my Warden (her lover) before leaving to do her work basically. My Warden knows Leliana and how passionate she can be especially in times of trouble like that, that she (Leliana) would do everything in her power to fight for "her cause" (or "a cause"). But of course Inquisition does not feature our Warden so I just head-canoned that my Warden is also looking after other people elsewhere in Thedas while Leliana is doing other things to help other people somewhere else, but they both love each others unconditionally, etc.

 

So yeah, regarding Leliana's romance I also have to say that it is a "been there done that" aspect of the Dragon Age franchise. I mean it's as if Inquisition's very existence makes everything that happened in Origins unimportant and we'd have to start from scratch again? No thanks. Origins was and still is as important and relevant to me as Inquisition will be. What happened in Origins still counts, Leliana was romancable there, so if people want to romance Leliana they can still do it in Origins to this day. And personally, anyway, to be completely honest even if Leliana had been romancable in Inquisition I wouldn't have done it because, as mentioned, in my "canon" Origins play-through she fell in love with my Warden, and my Warden survived Origins and they're still together during Inquisition's events.

Man I clicked on this thread thinking it was about Leliana x Morrigan... soooooo disappointed.

 

Also I agree with the devs. IF you want to romance one of these characters go do it in the first game. You already had your chance.

Considering that Morrigan shows no interest in FemWarden and says nothing about past female lovers, I think she is probably straight.

Wouldn't be cool for the romacers to get a special arc and the appreciators to get a special arc and the dark rituals to have something one way or the other (possible, with mods)?  Oh, wait, that was the point of this sequence.  Never mind.

 

The whole dark ritual/endgame thing is a bit...exceptional.  For dealing with it in-game I've found the best approach is to treat it as a random encounter on the way to face the archdemon.  It hurts my head less that way.  Everyone else's mileage is going to vary.  A lot.

[Matdeception]

I *demand* the option for nug burgers. Hell, that's actually a really damn good reason for Leliana not to romance you!

 

let's say, you're traveling around and you spot this cute little Nug. Now, you've heard the stories, how they're a food source for the dwarfs and such (Let's conveniently ignore the chantry declaring them noxious vermin) and decide hell, you're an Inquisitor of the world, let's give it a shot. After an amusing game of cat and mouse that culiminated in fighting a High Dragon, three lubed up ex-employees of the blooming rose, a psycho dwarf named Ruck in nothing but a thong, and the Boy Who Lived Until He Met You, you finally catch and kill your little nug. 

 

Curious, it had a pink ribbon tied around it's neck. Ah well, bottoms up!

 

Only then Leliana shows up, "Have any of you seen my pet nug Scmhooples? I lost sight of him while you were wrestling those lubed..." notices the look of horror in your eyes. "... Blooming..." her eyes track to the pink ribbon you've tossed careless on top of the poor nugs innards you removed before cooking... "..."

 

The Inquisitor gulps fearfully. "Uh, she was delicious?"

 

RAGE!

 

Perfectly good reason to make Leliana never want to touch you.

 

And Morrigan? Eh? Pull a Sten.

 

"No.'

It does paint a nice picture (think about the - ****** - fights those two would have...coupled with great make-up sex ^^)

Hey,

 

Indeed that was my idea:

 

Get another look at the characters we all love (even more because well, the Warden will probably never show up again), you can still head-canon them living happily ever after, just imagine the new game to be in a different parallel universe (I personally have no problem with seeing the world in different states, the keep will make sure I get that (for future games I hope so, too )

 

I mean both character have seen and lived through new things, learned new things, have had pleasant and hard (maybe even nearly deadly) experiences in those years and all that changes a person (I myself - without having had to fight for my life - am very different from the person I was 10 years ago) and so they might go at a romance differently (maybe they might not want to at all at the start or they now want a promise of forever without running away (like Morrigan did at the end of DA:O) etc. - lot's of possibilities!)

 

greetings LAX

ps: and if you really need to have it, then the non-romanced of the two could be romancable (while the other one is locked out ) and if you want to go after them both: just use the keep to set the warden into an unromanced state or put him or her with someone else

[daveliam]

I'm going to guess that they are not romanceable in this game because their writers did not want to explore a romance storyline with the characters in this game.  Does there need to be any other reason why they aren't romanceable?

[Grieving Natashina]

Fans are so serious about game romaces? LoL this whole world is a mess^^

I'm not sure why you're surprised.  Fans care about this quite a bit.

[Elite Midget]

I have a feeling Leliana is going to die as part of the main storyline

I don't see her dying unless you want her to die in your story as a mandatory death for her would not sit well with fans and would be far worse of a backlash than having her being a romance option in DA:I if she's single.

Well writing a lot of s*** about it is one thing ( it is ridiculous that thread has the most post though^^), get upset cuz their virtual girlfriend cheat one of their character with their other character is an other^^

Clearly you aren't familiar with the Cullen thread.

[KC_Prototype]

Are you trying to die? Both were romanceable in DAO so it would create a possible cuckhold.

[DarthLaxian]

hm...

 

Only if one imagines ones warden being a total ass (sorry, 'tis that way - because leaving for ages and expecting someone to always be available, that's as ridiculous as being angry, if the are not...)

We do not need that crap (cuckolding) appearing in DA thanks.

[tmp7704]

People keep using that word. I don't think it means what they think it means.

I have just checked it^^ I am going to cry...
