Sorry if my Hawke want to make babies with Merrill. Why can't we have it as an option?

Well we all want things. Some just ain't gonna happen.

I am not against the possibility. I think it could work, if well done and/or integrated to the story.

They treated to treated FemHawke's marriage to Sebastian with so measure of seriousness. It's just to bad that you have to get married Sebastian.

No they don't. Some of your companions don't even recognize it as a marriage and mock the idea.

I would to see a marriage is to be the final story based DLC for DA:I and used to basically to give HoF, Hawke, and Inquisitor and their various love interests a "happy" ending and basically be the end to all of their respective stories.

In a way, this post illustrates one reason for the absence of marriage in DA: it is typically seen as the ending to an adventure and not the beginning of a new one. It is seen as a form of retirement.

 

I have been happily married in real life for almost twenty years (without kids, btw- can we please let go of the notion that marriage isn't as legit without them?) and I believe in what it can offer socially, spiritually, economically, etc. and support it as a right for all adults who seek it. That said, I don't want marriage in my DA. It's far too interesting as a subject to be relegated to a cheesy cutscene that would probably reinforce everything I hate about how marriages are represented. Just let me kill dragons. Dragons are easier than marriage.

Yeah, seriously as much as I hate the boy I kinda pity him at the same time. Because Hawke was something, allright and also our companions. 

They didn't respect him and his faith at all. It was ridiculous.

One thing about the S/S marriages is that there were two lords in Halamshiral who were most definitely together, and they appeared to be in some sort of union, so at least in Orlais, it doesn't seem impossible.

And the fact that the Divine can be in a S/S marriage as well.

I'm not dying for it, but I would like to see it at least once. Either as an end game thing that won't matter since we're likely moving on anyway, like in an Inquisition dlc (not the focus of the dlc mind you) or in DA 4 as an origins story for one of the characters, which would be rather cool. You can have a mother, father, brother and nephews. Why not a wife/husband?

 

There'd be some kinks to work through of course, but it's possible.

Which is why I said its to bad you had to get married to Sebastian. I always felt they were more mocking him then the concept of marriage.

1. I was not going to ask why you didn't have kids.

2.Now I curious.

3. Do not tell me why(Seriously.)

4.Marriage does not mean the adventure ends. Look at the pc in gd2 and there li.

It's difficult that's why. Well not the marriage (only story-related at this point) but the children. Also, it's ridiculous. I can'y believe I'm saying this, but the game isn't about that.

If it's not done properly and there's no way to skip it many people will be raging again. Many were freaked out already when the devs said that Solas was gated for story reasons and believed it was *that* again. Honestly, I don't think we need something so complicated in DA4 it never ends well.

Yeah. Even Hawke seems to do it mainly as an attempt to get into Sebastian's pants rather than for the reasons he wants when he suggests it.

Felt like both. Especially with how Inquisition has people respond to it. Either the character who suggests it was joking or the person thinks you're crazy and the idea is ridiculous. They even patched Varric calling an Inquisitor who romanced Cullen 'Mrs Rutherford' so that he doesn't anymore.

I´m all for it. But not as a separate thing but something you can tie to the story. A decision which causes changes. Probably too much work for Bio though.

I know, right?  :rolleyes: Half of the times I felt like she's just harrasing him. It was so bad I can't even.

From what I recall about the ring (or earring) whichever it was. It was just something he wanted the warden to have. I only romanced Zevran 2 or 3 times personally, but I remember when he gave my warden the ring he was clear that it meant nothing and to please not make a big deal out of it. And if you press the issue about it being a sentimental gift of love he gets annoyed by it.

Yea, that could just be his personality or part of his character wanting to hide his softer side. But it certainly didn't feel like he was making a life long vow of love and loyalty, especially when he just up and slept with Isabela in DA2 while my warden was in a romance with him. Which could've been a bug, not sure, just saying.

No need to take 'zevran not marriage worthy' offensive, that's just what I got from his character when I romanced him. First time I got the ring from Zevran I gasped in surprise and thought 'is he proposing' and then he made it clear that he, in fact, is not proposing or anything of that sort. The gift was just him saying "I appreciate what you've done for me, take this, and leave it at"

Yeah. Though I give him credit. He was a trooper in putting up with her advances.

Yeah, that's exactly what he does when you start out the romance. And then if you push, you've shot yourself in the foot and grats you didn't do it right. Instead you refuse the ring, and say that unless it means something you don't want it. Later on, he comes back around, offers it again and this time it means something.

 

Zevran didn't put everything out there. He was extremely guarded. But he opened up to you, and he really did love you, happily ever after we are in this forever love. He swore that he would follow the warden to the gates of the black city and back if he breathed the order. If your warden died, Zevran "never loved again." If the warden is still out there, Zevran is still stuck to his side like glue.

 

So I disagree with what you got from his character or his romance because you're going off of the first part of the romance and not the entirety of the arc. Zevran acts as much of a forever-loyal husband to the warden as any of the companions do. He's just as marriage-worthy as any of them. Somehow, I doubt the two of them really give a crap about a wedding ceremony while they are trying to find a cure for the wardens blight.

 

This is also entirely off topic, so, back on topic.

 

Iron Bull would look silly in a wedding dress, and I know if my Lavellan somehow convinced him that a wedding was a good idea, he wouldn't stop until Bull was in one.

 

So for Bull's sake, please no weddings.

Sebastian was tired of praying alone. Now he has his wife to keep him company. Them praying together must be the only thing exciting him anymore.

 

What a waste of a perfectly handsome man.

And no, it wouldn't add anything to the universe or story except for a cutscene. But still, its there in other games with the cutscene and children to go along with it. So why not for DA? Is all I'm saying :/

 

Oh, totally! I love getting married in Skyrim. Heck, I'm in the process of building a house so (modded) husbando Brynjolf will move in with me lol It's fun and harmless good times.

Marriage is a business transaction that is meant to produce heirs and aid in inheritance. Even if the codex on the subject didn't make it clear, Vivienne should have. That's why there are no marriages for the players. S/S players would be singled out. While there are S/S relationships among the nobility, those are publically accepted. They still aren't married.

Beautiful *wipes tear* Couldn't have said it better myself :) Yes, in my eyes, once my Warden accepted that earring, they were engaged/married.

Yup! As much as I love the characters of Inquisition, their romances don't feel near as fleshed out as the winding path to unlocking Zevran's heart was. I also miss Wynne, hauling me off to the side to give me a stern talking to about how Zevran is leading me astray with his wily antivan charms. Where is she now when I'm romancing Iron Bull? I'm sure she'd have a lot to say on that!
