In modern militaries it is forbidden for officers to become friends with or even romance their subordinates. This is called fraternization. Both the System Alliance Military (ME) and the Templar Order have these kinds of rules.


Should the Inquistion also have anti-fraternization rules? Can romancing someone, like say Cullen, really mess up the chain of command?


In my personal opinion it is a bad idea to romance anyone who goes into combat with the inquisitor. That leaves only Josephine left to romance.

It worked for the Theban Sacred Band.

 

Though honestly this is one reason I prefer a more informal adventuring party type of vibe.

Um..what?

 

Do you do realize that Andraste's husband was King and Commander, yes?

 

Not to mention in-game history and real life history is riddled with romance when wars go on.

 

Should there be a new decree? Any man joining up gets snipped and women must wear chastity belts.

 

People with strong willed minds can separate duty and romance.

 

 

**Edit***

 

And I have no idea why the OP felt the need to post this here and in Stories and Characters.

Perhaps the Inquisition is more along the lines of the Sacred Band of Thebes, believing that lovers will battle more bravely together than apart.

And I would totally like your posts Wulfram and Cantina save I ran out of likes already.

You can ban it all you want, but guess what? It still happens. Fraternization is something that will always happen. If you are on top then hey even better because the rules don't apply to you.

[Phoe77]

The fact that those rules exist has never prevented the kind of relationships that they prohibit from existing, whether you're looking at real life or fantasy.  

[Gannayev of Dreams]

As the Inquisitor you get to make that decision. If you believe that fraternization should be against Inquisition policy... then simply do not engage in it.

I'm sure there was a reason this thread had to be made twice.

I pretend as if there are customs and rules against fraternization.  I imagine that Cullen is more aware of the reasons and dangers against fraternization than any, having spent time serving in the Templars.  Then I play a mage and romance him anyway because I love feeling like I'm a naughty rule-breaker who is naturally drawn to a counterpart, in a yin/yang manner of speaking.

 

I hope we get caught someday.  Getting thrown into jail was really fun in Origins.

LOL, if the Alliance had such kind of rules, it completely failed to adopt them.

 

Are... are you trying to come between Cassie and me??

 

 

Maybe you meant between Cassie and me?

Inquisition isn't a modern military. The boss can sleep with whomever s/he damn well pleases.

 

Now, in Mass Effect that was a better question. Shepard seemed to play very fast and loose with fraternization rules aboard ships.

[LadyLaLa]

Well, the Inquisition isn't the Templars. Sure, it's dangerous, but you're not required to play it safe as the Inquisitor. Some people, like myself, like the idea of "improper" relationships. Makes things more fun to role play

Shepard was also a Spectre who doesn't answer to the Alliance.

 

At least, up until 3. They just kind of forgot about that in 3 when Anderson reinstates Shepard.

It's the future, perhaps it's even encouraged, space is a lonely place (look it rhymes!)

The Alliance does have rules against fraternization. Ashley and Kaidan bring it up in their romances. 

 

But Shepard is also a Spectre thus not really part of the Alliance anymore.

And they get broken a lot, fit men and women stuck together for months and years enduring all kinds of nonsense and getting no tail.

 

People get lonely real quick.

As long as they remain professional on the field, I don't see the problem with what they do in their off time. 

 

The second the relationship starts effecting unit cohesion, then that's a problem.

Why? Having your lover by your side could be a good morale booster as shown with a particular group of Spartans.

Even then it doesn't work, since Dorian breaks that rule with The Iron Bull and The Iron Bull breaks it with a lot of people.

That would mean that there's no rule against fraternization by default.

There ya go.

 

The Inquisition is one big orgy.

^I thought it was impossible, but that is more creepy than the smile IQ gives Cullen at the first flirt.
