Please point out the romances that do this. I sincerely want to know since I couldn't find them. Or are you talking about in Inquisition?

Leliana's, I believe.

You could ask her to wait and you'd still be romancing her.

If y'all are talking about romances where you can refuse sex but still continue the romance... Zevran's also counts ^^

It would probably be frowned upon by cultural custom the nobility, whether or not individual nobles can ignore custom and do it. Part of their duties as a royal or noble is in eventually producing heirs to inherit their kingdom or fiefdom.

 

That sort of thing wouldn't be as much of a concern with the commoners however, who make up the bulk of any country's population.

 

So my guess is that since Thedas tends to be fairly tolerant of homosexual relationships, and since the Chantry doesn't seem to regard it as sinful, that same sex marriage happens but it is more common among the commoners than the nobles. Among the nobility you'd probably have more closeted people who were in opposite sex marriages to produce children, with homosexual lover(s) on the side.

Essentially what the title asks. 

 

While there have been plenty of examples of gay couples, and we can even have gay romances in game, from my knowledge their has never been a married gay couple in any of the DA game or novels. 

 

Have I just missing a an obscure piece of lore or has this topic never been actually addressed so far. If not, then I can only hope we see one in Inquisition.

How will marriage be practiced in Inquisition? I didn't know that was an option. If so, can it happen during the game or does it happen at the end? I have yet to find a game that really explores married life for players.

[Han Shot First]

Is marriage even in Inquisition?

 

I know some players have asked for it, but I see it as an unnecessary feature. The game isn't a romance sim, although many players seem to treat it as such. Unless marriage is going to result in political alliances or the inheritance of lands and titles, something which could aid the Inquisition, I see no reason to include it as a feature.

Most of the romances in DAO worked like this I believe. Pretty sure you could reject sex with Alistair and keep romancing him.

Every romance was like that in DA:O.

I remember reading (I think on the wiki) that it is not.

[Ryzaki]

I do hope at least the romances are more like DAO where you can refuse sex but the romance continues.

 

DA2's were a bit limited.

Really? I tried like every dialogue combination but it either broke the whole thing off or led to the sex scene.

It is not. Bioware was very blunt about it.

Not good. Bad. Very bad.

The entire Mass Effect trilogy suffered this as well.

Why?

 

What purpose would marriage serve in the game?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I've already explained why. 

 

What purpose does any optional content serve in the game?

Your way of life doesn't matter in Thedas. It doesn't exist in Thedas. 

 

The optional content is something BioWare wanted there. BioWare doesn't want this,

Doesn't mean I don't get to voice my complaints on the subject or ask for the position to change. 

 

And that doesn't answer my question.

With Alistair when he asks to sleep with you I think the I'm not ready choice keeps the romance going.

 

I'm not 100% on this tho.

 

But yeah ME was especially bad. Reject sex and the sequel acts like you had sex anyway.

Hmm, I'll have to try again next time I romance him then. 

 

Really? I didn't know they did that. Eventually I either had to suffer through it or just went romanceless.

Yep. I guess you can get close if you decide to marry him with a Cousland and just decline the sex.

 

Yeah ME1. I got ninja'd by Liara tried to reject her and nope that's one scenario I wish it had ended the romance. But noooooo.

 

Edit: lol Liara not Leliana.

[Br3admax]

You're asking for the writers to change the core aspects of the universe. It won't happen. And yeah, it did. BioWare wants that optional content. They don't want marriage for the player.

Not really. It happens in the epilogue. Wouldn't be surprised if they retcon it anyway to they were lovers before marrying. 

Yeah, the Liara ninjamance.

I was going to say, what version of ME1 did you get?

I'm still allowed to ask. And since it likely won't happen, why do you or anyone else who is against the idea even care? 

No, my question was "What purpose does any optional content serve in the game?". You response did not answer that.

In-universe, why would it change now?

[Knight of Dane]

Marriage seems to be a  very political thing, at least for small populations like the Elves (both Dalish and City) and for nobility. See Anora with Cailan, Alistair or Cousland, possibly Alistair with Cousland. There is also a couple of high standing in the newest book (won't spoil which) that is mentioned to be "one of the rare cases of true love in a noble marriage" where I think one was not of noble blood.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Because cultures change over time. 

In Inquisition the entire treatment of mages for example may change drastically. Something rather small in comparison changing in the future isn't that surprising.

Except that there's credible reason for the Circle system to change now. That system's failings had been made entirely clear. By comparison, the failings in the way Thedasians view marriage are small enough to be swept under the rug.
