Especially after an audio glitch and suddenly the shrieking makes up 90% of the sound on your Tv/Monitor.

 

 

Especially when you choose all the options that don't fit your character, and maybe you lead them along too quickly. Eventually making the relationship fail.

 

 

If that makes it to the Interwebs, I'll personally share that on every social media I have available.

 This reminds me. I'm gonna hunt for every amusing glitch I can find

 

I'm really sorry they didn't keep Cole's independently running pants. They could have recorded it at least.

 

 

I need some derp LI faces.

Why would you be ashamed to be a straight while male?  This is what I'm talking about. 

You shouldn't feel ashamed of being a straight white person.  I don't.

Sure, I understand that for many people a big part of the experience is going to be fighting alongside their LI as a companion. 

 

I don't think that's a reason to totally dismiss the advisors out of hand though, especially when it seems like we can go on missions with them.

 

edit: what even are prepositions 

 

Adventuring together is a core part to me in building the bond. Haven't seen any suggestion that they can regularly accompany you on missions, much more likely there will be the odd major mission they'll play some part in. Think its fair enough to ready them for the discard bin if they lack a component you have considered essential, that's not to say others have to do so.

As to the advisers,  I think they will probably be the most heartfelt of all the romances.  They will have more meaning and tenderness/companionship.  They wont be running around trying to avoid the Undead and whatnot.

Well, then, Josephine's not for you. God knows I thought my options sucked before Blackwall was revealed.

You shouldn't feel ashamed of being a straight white person.  I don't, and it's definitely an unexpected interpretation of the posts I made.

 

He meant that he was ashamed by the way the other swm were reacting so badly.

[AresKeith]

I think you should hold your judgment until it becomes known how those advisor romances work in action. Since there are valid reasons to suspect it won't be as good experience as during companion romances.

 

Seeing as the advisors have the same amount of word budget and content as the companions, some don't have to hold judgement 

[Barquiel]

Fighting alongside your LI as a companion is nice, but there weren't that many romance specific party banter in DAO, DA2 or the ME games...and I think the advisor romances will be better than the rather shallow npc romances in ME3 as well. I'm looking forward to my Josephine romance for my first playthrough.

[AresKeith]

I feel like this needs to be quoted endlessly.

 

and this:

Per @Mike_Laidlaw's post: no matter what race, gender, or sexual preference you choose for your Inquisitor, you have 2+ options.

the cut morrigan/leliana bants was hilarious

As I've mentioned before I'm not really big on any of the romance options, but I appreciate a lot of people are and my thoughts are this. If we are going to have a romance-able character they should be available to the PC. Regardless of race, gender or anything else, this is a GAME and the PC is the star and if you want to romance character X because that is your story then you should be able to.

 

Now I know Bioware are talking a lot about how the story makes sense of their choices and I say simply Bullshit.

 

One of the first things you learn in pen and paper RPG's is you put your PC's first, not fall in love with your vision of the NPC's at the expense of the PC. The PC is king (or queen) and as far as I'm concerned every option should be open to every player IF they want to take it up, and for it to be easily closed off if they do not.

Personally I'd hate this.  One of the enjoyments for the rpg game is being different characters with different interest and ideas.  If all romance interest are available no matter what my character is like, that's a big disappointment.  Why bother with the different playing ideas if everyone loves you no matter what kind of **** head you are.  

 

DA2 was my least favorite romance group.  Everyone would fall on their knees in Hawkes present no matter how they were treated. NPC hates mages, rival them.  NPC hates templars rival them.  Everyone will love you.  Ick.

 

Now if they set it up so that the romance was based on your characters decisions instead of gender, I could get with that.  But I hate having them all want to go after my character no matter what.  I don't want my character to be King, Queen or the Love Spider goddess with the power to pull everyone into their web.   Just no thanks.

[Allan Schumacher]

Is this just your personal opinion or is this the official view from bioware?

 

Speaking personally.

[Melca36]

As someone who is a heterosexual male this is pretty disturbing/disappointing news. Guess I just have to flip a coin then eh...sheesh.

 

Interesting.

 

My husband is very happy with Cassandra and Joesphine. He also is secure in his identity that he will have no issues rolling a female character to try Sera.

 

He will also attempt a NO ROMANCE-Loner Inquisitor game.    You have plenty of choices. 

 

You just need to learn to adapt.   Its not 2000. Its 2014.   Different types of people play games now and gaming companies have to evolve.

[AresKeith]

I can kinda see Blackwall/Cass or Cullen/Cass.

 

No 

[Ieldra]

I think her and Vivienne writing a letter, are more deadly then a few angry men with swords

Perhaps, but I didn't find the example of Vivienne's writing we got to see some time ago very convincing. Too unsubtle.

[AresKeith]

My hope with Josephine is that she'll be an example of a strong female character whose strength does not come in the form of martial skill or magical power.

 

She'll destroy you with words

I'm a 40+ woman who used to play strategy games and Diablo 2 before I picked up DAO on a whim (it was on sale when I was shopping some FPS game for my son). It took a few months before I installed it but when I found myself shutting down the PC because Duncan died and I was filled with arrows I knew that for the first time a game had become more than collecting loot or XP. I love playing Witcher, BUT when I play that game I'm another person. When I play DA or ME (which I had to follow up with naturally) whether I play as a man or woman I am myself and I care about the pixel-companions almost like real people. Thank you for this experience.

 

PS: I've had the greatest discussions at work with the software engineers, most of them had (predictably) romanced Morrigan, but there were a few males that admitted that they had tried the Zevran romance.

[Kuse]

You have plenty of choices. 

 

 

They should have given a balanced number of choices for all parties involved. 2 is not plenty compared to various other options that are obviously being catered to.

I agree totally that things you do or say should affect the romance, it would be a pity if they didn't. What that gives you though is the choice, if you choose to act like in a manner opposite to the NPC's beliefs it's different thing to them being preset not to pick you. I think it would even be fun for say a mage to have to win over Cassandra for example despite initial mistrust.

 

My main point is though that it's your story, the PC that matters not the supporting cast whose stories only matter if you want them to and take time to explore and expand them

[AresKeith]

I think there's a blog with a letter from Vivienne, and there's the video from her VA

[Cassandra Saturn]

great Post Allan.

can I ask what was the reason behind on the decision for romances to be limited in each group: straight males, Bisexual males/females, Gay males/females.

sorry, I'm deaf, so I'd like to know some more clarification on this so I could understand.

[HaHa365]

I'm quite shocked at the negative response to this. Bioware has given so many options here. All I can ask is that you "Open Your Mind".

This is where you hypnotise me and excavate some of my organs for the black market right?... right? Guys?..  Okay then..

[Talagen]

What I disliked most about DA2 was no matter what/who you played the game actions played out the same.  You romance Fenris as a woman you get thrown against a wall then kissed.  If you romanced Fenris as a man you get thrown against the wall and kissed.  There was no variation on who you played.  There was no replay value.  The game was the same regardless of who you were.  With what BioWare is doing now the game will play out differently with who you travel with and who you romance.

 

 How can you criticize that your choices are less?  Each companion romance will play out different.  Each companion adviser will playout different.  BioWare is breaking new ground and most of those complaining are still stuck with the old way the game was played.  This isn't the same game as DA2 or any other BioWare game.  At least wait for the game to come out before all the naysaying begins.
