I tried to be more subtle in my advances, and ended up "unlocking" all of her romance dialogue right near the end of the final act, in reverse. ("Oo, I love you." -> "We should speak again." - > "Yo, the stars are nice.")

 

So yeah. Not a smooth process.

What do you think?

 

I think you don't really understand the reason why previous love interests will never be love interests again. It's not because your former character may or may not have romanced them, and it's been ten years, and your Warden this or your Warden that - it's because everything in a game has a cost. Character arcs and romance arcs cost word count, animation, cinematics, all kinds of assets; and these assets are not infinite. If you get resources spent on a second Leliana romance, you get it at the cost of resources spent on something else in the game, not in addition to it. Let's say, in example, the Cassandra romance. One in, one out, now you'll never experience this whole new romance, because you want to relive through an old one. You don't get to have the cake and eat it too.

 

They've actually been pretty straight forward about this: development will not waste their zots telling the same story over and over that they've already told once. Not when they can move forward and dedicate those zots to new characters and new stories that haven't been told yet. You will not get a second version of how a Leliana/Morrigan/etc romance would have been in a different time with a different hero because their stories have already been told, and the game gains nothing (but loses a lot) from retelling them time and time over again.

Op, have you heard of a game called Dragon Age: Origin? You can romance Leliana all the time in that game.

I think Romance DLC like the OP is suggesting is a bad Idea I think that most of us have accepted that Leliana is now in the writers hands and thankfully they have not removed our wardens from her character arc if she was romanced in Origins.

 

Now if Romance DLC ever was made then damn I demand that both Harding/Dagna be made options. ;)

They won't add romance in a DLC, they'll expand on current romances, but they aren't going to add a brand new one.  Unless you mean you just want to plough Leliana one time than I guess they can do that, but they can't add a full romance in a DLC, it's just a complete waste of everything.

 

Leliana should have been an option in the vanilla game though.  IMO she's by far the best looking female companion.

DA: I is not a dating simulation game its story won't solely dedicated to romance, and its DLC also won't solely dedicated to romance. You either romance Leliana in DA: O or you don't get a chance with her at all.

Nah can't say I'd desire this, romanced her already in DAO easily my favourite DA romance thus far so I'm hoping for some resolution between her and my warden in the vanilla game. And any new DLC's would prefer them to expand on the story got plenty of choice in the game for romance as it is.

People have trouble getting into a romance with Leliana?  I always have to break up with her, even though I never wanted to date her in the first place.  I want to trade copies of the game!

And for all the other players who have an "unbounded" or widowed Leliana in stock, I dare to say that is quite sad,

Whats wrong with being widowed ? 

Nope . They did this once..in Neverwinter Night . Lady Aribeth was a male romance , then she die . Then later in a 3rd expansion , she is brough back and you can romance her with someone new . I throw my game by the window :angry:

I know what you think, it's way too early to even talk about even not yet announced DLC, and I know that lot of you will say: "Inquisitor, don't even think about flirting with my Grey Warden's maid!" I can understand that. Me myself - I have a warden who chose Leliana as well - but I also have one who didn't. Furthermore surely there are some players whose Leliana is some sort of widow after her warden made the ultimate sacrifice.

And for all the other players who have an "unbounded" or widowed Leliana in stock, I dare to say that is quite sad, that one of the most interesting and complex characters in the Dragon Age franchise has no opportunity for being romanced in Dragon Age Inquisition.

 

About ten years have passed at the time of the inquisition since the events in DA:O as far as I am informed, and surely the years have changed Leliana, maybe hardened her. But I strongly believe it would be a challenging experience even for players who knew her as a romance in DA:O. to meet this new Leliana and to find out that they have to tear down some walls around her in order to reach her inner self.

 

It is just a litlle spinning and brainstorming, but maybe it can become more...It would be a waste if not ;)

What do you think?

Lol all these people saying no. and its because the devs have said NO SHE IS NOT ROMANCEABLE. when dev's say that. its normally because she will not be romanceable in this game. and that includes dlc.

Sigh, all right, it seems some of you folks got me quite wrong in one or the other point:

 

First, I know of DA:O and the option to romance Leliana in it, and some of my warden did. And I really adore Bioware for creating such an interesting character. What I thought of in my little construct was to have a different point of view on her from a different angle, by a different character in a different time under different circumstances. I don't think even if there was a romance between her and the inquisitor, that it would be in any way comparable to the on between the warden and her. So, to remind me of DA:O and its romance options for her is to a certain point fruitless.

 

Second, of course I did not mean to create a DLC only for the romance. Bioware proofed with its Shadowbroker DLC for Mass Effect 2 that they can implement a romantic storyline into an action packed DLC, so there is no need to worry, they would waste resources.

 

I think you don't really understand the reason why previous love interests will never be love interests again. It's not because your former character may or may not have romanced them, and it's been ten years, and your Warden this or your Warden that - it's because everything in a game has a cost. Character arcs and romance arcs cost word count, animation, cinematics, all kinds of assets; and these assets are not infinite.

I can follow your line of argumentation though it makes me sad to be reminded that creativity is so strongly limited by simple resources. In my view Leliana is too interesting in her personality to be laid "ad acta" after DA:I but I can see, that most of you are willing to draw a curtain to her storyline.

After all this was just a spontaneous idea. ;)

If they are going to add DLC Romances, then I'd rather it be a completely new character. Someone who fits into the entire story as well as adds new content to the single player game. Something like what they did with Sebastian but not so restrictive and lacking. Make it a Female Dwarf LI, make her bI if you must. As shallow as it might sound, i'd like to make a Dwarf on Dwarf Romance.

I don't get what your saying here. Not wanting to romance her doesn't mean we want to draw a curtain to her storyline. I'd just rather other faucets of her character are explored when we already got to explore her romantic side in DA:O.

I understand wanting to romance her, but I agree with the ones saying no. Sure, Cullen is a recurring character, but this is the first time we get to romance him. So, I think the ones who should be romanced are the new characters or the old characters never a romance option and it makes sense.
