The payoff for any investment in any relationship is having a friend / companion - which requires the other party to make a similar investment.
If you're looking for transactional sex, you might want to seek the services of a professional.
If that is the case, then I have no interest in pursuing the relationship...
I have friends and let me tell you, they don't require that much upkeep...
>Implying Cassandra isn't extraordinarily attractive.
Women with scars and an aggressive tone are sexy
Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad, **** taste confirmed 0/10. Romance I like > Romance you like
The real disappointment is that you cannot gaymance Cullen, or romance the scout dwarf girl at all.
Or Varric!
Two whole games they dangled Varric in front of us, and then pulled him away at the last second!
Wow 7 pages from what was a joke topic. Good job BSN!
As an aside, you don't get to sleep with Solas, either. Yet I don't see a bunch of people whining about that.
Sex isn't required for a relationship. It's not wrong to want it, or to want it in your relationship. (And there's nothing wrong with headcannoning you and Josie or Solas went the full way, if you so desire.) But there's nothing wrong with not wanting it, either, and there are many happy relationships in this world that don't have sex as a part of them.
As for Cassandra, I think she's beautiful. I also think Josie's beautiful. I identify as bisexual, but I think they're definitely my two favorite in looks. Romanced Solas on my first playthrough, though, just to see the fuss. Whether it will be Bull, Cass, Dorian, or Josie on my second... we'll see.

What!?
Well I guess I'm dumping Solas then since he's going to refuse to put out.
Why are you playing a BioWare game then? I'm trying to think of a prior BioWare game, with romance, that didn't finish in a sex scene. ME1? ME2? DAO? DA2? SW-KotOR1&2? SWtoR? Jade Empire? Seriously how far back do you have to go where there wasn't a shown sex scene or a FTB? I don't think it's unrealistic to expect the romantic couple to be getting it on in a BioWare game.
KOTOR didn't have sex.
KOTOR 2 isn't Bioware and didn't have sex.
Never played Jade Empire so can't say.
I'll give you Mass Effect and SWTOR.
DAO had Alistair and Leliana able to be romanced without having sex.
DA2 had Sebastian who was celibate.
So Bioware games having sex as part of a romance isn't a set truth, for which I am thankful since there are those kinds of romantic relationships in real life as well.
I've been experimenting with the Cassandra arc on a male character and...I can't say I find it impressive.
I'm not even really taking looks into account here. Its that its literally a formulaic "buy my love" scenario. Prove to me that you are the perfect man...and then, maybe, I will love you in return.
Ooookay. I'm not sure how many perfect people are actually on the real world but I'm pretty sure the numeric value for that is statistically irrelevant. Simple facts are love isn't perfect, love is love because its love. My significant other is not perfect, our relationship is based in friendship and a comfortable acceptance of each others presence in close proximity for a long period of time.
There were no extravagant gifts exchanged, no requirements of over the top romantic moonlight cruises in the Bahamas...no poetry, just two people that have professional lives, that also enjoy games and happen to find each other intelligent, funny and easy to look at.
Cassandra's romance is...as idealistic as she is. And frankly I can see why people complain, it has very little to do with her physical properties, which in all fairness aren't horrible for a woman that is 40 years old...but her idea of what a relationship should be is a pretty far cry from what relationships really are.
I'm not even really interested in sex with Cassandra I'm just looking at the romance arc objectively to see how it plays out.

That's not how I saw it. If you listen to her she has already decided that she likes/loves you before that. It was just more her way of saying I want to be wooed. I want all that mushy stuff in the books I read.
And as anyone who is in a relationship would know part of the fun is making your partner happy.

Aerie in BG2 can even get knocked up. So deffinatly sex in that romance.

Aerie is an elf. Everyone knows that elf women get pregnant through kissing, no sex necessary.

From what I understand, and maybe I've misheard, there is implied sex in the Solas romance - you just don't get a sex scene like the others.
She is awesome but far from adorable. She also looks like a guy.
er no she doesn't. IMHO she's very attractive as a female.

Sometimes just exchanging shy glances is enough.

A wide jawline, chin, and long face.
Mind you, nothing else remotely looks masculine, but that's what picky guys hone in on. As someone with a similar face, I get it a lot, too.
DA 2 Cassandra had generic attractive female face #1, I think. It didn't look much different from Leandra's, minus the obvious wrinkles, make-up and gray hair.
My boy, the friend zone is a figment of the imagination. An arbirtrary construct based on the idea that just because you are nice, the girl should want you to be her boyfriend.
Who said anything about being her boyfriend?

It's also expressly present in the other three -- IIRC sex comes up quite early in Vicky's track, same way it does with Morrigan.
I honestly can't remember how HotU handled it.
Honestly, I could care less about the "romance" - - -

You mean Jaheira. And I don't remember it coming up in the Jaheira romance at all. Sadly there is no Imoen romance and even worse no full Haer'Dalis romance.
