I think you are correct. I think it had to do with the animation because he's so much larger than the other LI's and has a greater range of height difference (qunari to dwarf), more than any other LI.
Eh, I understand, it's a shame tho. But, on the other hand, there's a lot of weird, nasty, awkward clipping and junk already, I'm just wondering how awful those few seconds of animation would've looked in the end.
Ok I just watched it (every option), and it seems a weird way to waste such a romantic setup. Dorian's scene is a lot better.
It definitely is better.
But, I do have to give props to Bull for one thing. When you ask him to dance with you in Halamshiral, he first takes it as a joke, and then continues with '' wait, you serious? cuz if you are, then, YEAH, absolutely, we'll dance when this is over '' instead of being all macho and saying '' yeah no thanks, i'm good, i'd rather just sit, eat, fart and watch the hot redheaded servants pass by, mm. ''
And he remembers my request to dance with him in the balcony as well. I really appreciate it.
But seriously, when I'm making out these kinds of little things to be bigger than they actually are, you know the romance is a bit empty.. Sucks, since I like Bull so much!
