I'm still chuckling at some of my old predictions coming true.  

 

--Vivenne was not romanceable

--The Elder One being Corypheus

--The Divine would be dead in the first few minutes.  I did not see her dying when you hit "New Game" though.

--Josie being bisexual

--Fiona would get handed the Idiot Ball.

--Solas' final version of his looks would be more attractive than Alpha.  For those that weren't around, "Nosferatu" came up a lot.

--They wouldn't give the gold eyes to Morrigan's kid. 

--The eyes and makeup were going to be amazing.

--That customizing the bedroom was going to be useless.

--The fans outside of the forums were going to hate the PJs when they found out.

 

Oh and sign me up as another that liked the look of the Arishok's men in DA2 over Iron Bull's design.  I like the Bull, but it seems like they made the Qunari we do see look kinda human again.  They had just gotten elves to a good middle ground.  I guess they wanted to make him more approachable because he's a LI?  Or there is some slight genetic differences among the Qunari that Bull's area didn't have?  Like having darker skin or blue eyes in our world.  Or like how some people have a history of being double jointed in their family or are predisposed to athleticism.   Just wild guesses.  After all, the comics do state that Qunari and dragon's blood have a long history.   <shrug>

 

Edit: Gah, had to change a word!  Sorry for those that caught my original draft.

Hmmn... I had many of those as well including Viv not being romanceble (though I had wished she was) and I also had:

-Fans outside of the forums were going to hate the limited hairstyles when they found out

-That several of the guys cheering about so many more male companions were going to be less happy when they really noticed what it did to their 'romance options'

-That the mage/templar war wouldn't allow us to really resolve it (though the way you pick a side is even more limiting than I was thinking).

-That 'god-child' wouldn't really mean anything and they'd find a way to neutralise that for future DA instalments.

Didn't have the makeup or the customising bedroom ones though if I'd thought about it I would have figured the bedroom would be underutilized anyway so yeah.

 

And yeah I liked the qunari in DA2 also and think the qunari have been made more human as well, admittedly playing a female qunari is my first real look at females of the race but still I would have liked more differences in the races than what we have. Also more horn and hair choices would have helped too.

One thing that still confuse me is that Cullen, who is in every aspect a very attractive potential LI for female characters and players (and not only for them) was an added romance instead of the "default" one. :huh:

 

because with all due respect, he was definitely more attractive in many ways than Blackwall (original prominent straight female LI). Not just for the look, but for the story and character. I can see (and I have seen too in my circle of friends) how his story can appear too much problematic and sad for many players.

 

By the way, grateful for the plus romances for my preferred gender/sexuality to play, after all the bad that there was in ME3. And I'm expecting of course much less in the next games. Just... hoping there is less heartbreak too. I'm a little tired of having all the romance for my preferred combo sex/gender to play being the sadder ones  :P

Eh, IB didn't look that human to me and I kinda disliked that every Qunari minus the Arishok looked the same

So I'm willing to say that every Qunari looks different because Sten still looks human

I know what the explaination they give is but I've always imagined Sten is the result of a human and horned person's union. Don't know why, sometimes I just feel like I can see bits of the horned people in his otherwise human appearance. Could be a headcanon that the black eyes occur in offspring which bloodline is mostly or all from the horned people race with Sten being the opposite and mostly human.  

 

Yes, I'm calling them horned people now because I've forgotten what's appropriate to call the race itself and don't feel like starting it up again.

I liked Blackwall first. Reminded me Duncan (ah, Duncan...), charming, manly (still waiting for some romancable "hairy chests"), but after I saw on YT his sex scene with a dwarven Inquis... it killed any romantic feeling I could ever have for him. She looked like a child in his grasp, quite perverse. The mural on the wall in "his" barn is accurate. Too bad... for him anyway ;)

mmm... no, never felt that way. The female dwarf body is way too much..."developed" to ever think something similar. On the contrary, I find cute the contrast with a petite short girl and a big tall man (or the inverse: my male brasca with Morrigan is one of the cutest couple ever in my book  :wub: )

 

surely a dwarf romance sometime would be good even for these kind of things  :rolleyes: (still waiting here, BioWare!!!)

I can't help it, when they kiss embracing each other and he is slowly "pushing" her (hmm... Cornellius from Planet of the Apes from 60's ... remarkable resemblance). Just this moment...

I also hope there would be romancable dwarf for my dwarven lady... with hairy chest  :wub:

I was so wrong with all my predictions really that it's embrassing. I was sure I would be able to romance Cullen with qunari Inqusitor so I planned it like half year before Cullen was announced to be only intol elves and humans without any loreish reasons to say why it's so. I predicted that Blackwall would be gay and live up to name Ser Bara, but no he didn't. I thought Vivi would be romance for straight male Inquisitors, but no for that too.. and I delusionally predicted that Dorian would be gay only that I would get my ideal LI for female quizzy, but that was wrong too :P

 

One thing that still confuse me is that Cullen, who is in every aspect a very attractive potential LI for female characters and players (and not only for them) was an added romance instead of the "default" one. :huh:

Just... hoping there is less heartbreak too. I'm a little tired of having all the romance for my preferred combo sex/gender to play being the sadder ones  :P

 

Apparently they first were going to make him look lot older and grim at least so maybe that's one reason.. though Blackwall already looks grim and old. Hmm, maybe they didn't have writer for him at that point who would have been intrested to write romance.

I still have that name candidate for the role, if they even decide he have enought of his married-with-another-man girlfriend. :rolleyes:

 

but really, a dwarf romance, male or female, would be appreciated.

I almost have the suspect Cullen wasn't going to be in Inquisition at all. Is the only way I can explain myself why he wasn't a "LI candidate" from the start. I can't think it was for the look. Blackwall and Bull aren't (not even in their artwork) all that young and good looking either. They should have like...burned his face completely and became Super Slot to have him worse looking than Blackwall and Bull  :wacko:

Please forgive all the parentheticals I'm about to subject you to, but my tin hat theory (based on 1. the other five of the "original 6" + Cullen being the only characters pictured in the survey leak and 2. the non-Cullen-related cut dialogue in the only scene with m!Inq lines for Cullen suggesting that that scene might have been one of the first ones made, when a lot was still being hammered out) is that Cullen was in the original 2x2x2, but in IB's place rather than Blackwall's, and they swapped the two of them some time in late 2012 or 2013 (either because they didn't think it was believable for Cullen to discover he was interested in men during DA2, given that in the end product he says several times that he wasn't interested in anyone at all during that time, or because BW and Cullen were too similar as "knights with dark pasts", or just because they loved IB so much), then added Cullen back as a straight guy with the extra year (if the reason they took him out of the 2x2x2 was because they were pumped for IB and not because bi!Cullen didn't work, another possibility is that they tried to add Cullen back as an LI for both Inquisitors, but despite that tweet I still think there's a good chance Solas was the time-reasons-only one and Cullen the at-least-partially-story-reasons one).

wouldn't have been than more simple making Cullen straight and Blackwall BI, instead of dropping Cullen completely and making Bull the Bi male LI?  :huh: after all, Blackwall didn't have anything that would have stoned (while Cullen had a past as straight guy in DAO at least)

not that I don't like Bull, I adore him (he is my canon LI for my Qunari girl :wub: ) but I find it a little strange, that's all. Probably is as you say. Cullen had to be the BI male LI, but than remembered he was always depicted as straight, contrary to Anders that was more subtle, and Bull was probably seen as a good alternative. Maybe Blackwall's scene/voiceover was already done.

This isn't meant as a jab at Blackwall (he's almost definitely my favorite new character in DA:I*, and I think he's a good person by the time we meet him), but given how excited everyone would have been for a romanceable LGBT "knight in shining armor", I think his plot twist would have been a huge letdown for some people if he weren't straight. Also, Bull + Blackwall (or Bull + Cullen) presents more variety than Cullen + Blackwall IMO. Either way, I don't mean this as a complaint about any of Cullen, Iron Bull, or Blackwall; I like all three of them much better than any of the DA2 male options.

 

EDIT: Also: tin hat theory. :) I don't mean to present it as fact, just my casual guess based on the tiny amount of information we have.

ANOTHER EDIT: * in terms of best personal quest, at least. Might prefer to hang out with Dorian or Sera. Whatever.

whait whait. whait whait whait. This is quite one of the gripes I have with the romances for straight female. And is the trend "everything that can be bad is ok if happen to a LI for straight female".

 

I find this a little annoyng. Now, I've seen the KISA being very requested as a LGBT only after DAI, so I don't know if it was something already requested before. But. the implication gay players would have felt Blackwall was a let down, but "who care, is for the straight girls", this is a little on the offensive road. :( expecially in the case the plus romances wheren't there.

 

I think many girls are quite tired of the trend as myself. Sayng "is ok if bad stuff happen to the female protagonist romance, is not ok if happen to the others", is a little the trend I had seen in ME3, and it make me a little sad and annoyed. I think this time with DAI I was lucky because thanks to the quantity of LI, I could find a more serene relationship too for my female characters, but in the end, even this time, at least half the romance for straight female characters are one potentially and the other damned. :(

The bolded is not what I said at all. I'm also in favor of the heartbreak being equally likely for everyone instead of concentrated in straight male LIs, if only because it gets predictable otherwise. :P What I was saying is that because the pre-release excitement would have built up more in that case, the twist would also have hurt more. That's all.

I have been thinking why IB and Blackwall were chosen to be LIs for straight female inquisitors. One thing is probably that those romances are very different which is a good thing and I also believe that devs chose those romances because they thought that they were most suitable romance options.

I'm not sure how popular Blackwall is but I don't like his romance. However I think that there was potential in his romance and I might have liked it if it would have been handled differently. He has quite dark past and how he left you wasn't a good way to leave your woman. Anyway I think how he behaved in that judgement and how you had to forgive him right away were the main reasons why I don't like his romance. I guess I would have wanted to be angry at him. I think I would have liked that he would have to beg on his knees for your forgiveness :D

I like IB romance and I think it's surprisingly sweet. Although I'm not sure why you'll have to let him be in charge in the bedroom. I would have let him do that but I have been wondering why it wasn't an optional thing because I don't see any reason why it couldn't have been optional even though he likes that or maybe the reason is that he thinks that you need that but then again why couldn't you just decide that for yourself.

I was a little bit offended by your original post because it sounded like it's much more ok that he is straight because of his story and that twist. If he would have been the LI who I like the most and I would have romanced him on my first playthrough I believe that I would have been quite frustrated not because of that twist but how I would have to play that romance in order to get a happy ending which I always want. Because there have been sad romances quite recently they would have increased my frustration. Because there have been sad romances before I don't know who would have been more hurt those who would have wanted a KISA or those who play straight female inquisitors.

probably it was how you worded it. But the thing is, is a now sadly common trend for straight female to have the most hard to keep romance, or the damned to end no matter what.

 

Seem like it was dropped the "dead wife/sister/lover" just to replace it with "morally terrible choice to keep me" or "no matter your choices, I'll leave you!"  :wacko:

And I'm repeating myself, this time the straight female Inquiz where lucky because they had more choices, but I'm scared in the next game the trend will repeat itself but without the extra romances, leaving one option only for a non damned romance, maybe? :(

 

Sorry if I sound pathetic, but I like my characters to have a happy love life :unsure: and it wasn't always an option in later games.

And yeah sorry about that, I feel pretty similar to you on Rainer as far as I can tell which is why seeing those messenger scenes (also here on the forums) really disappointed me because Josie seemed more interested in that than in the inquisitor for most of the romance. 

Yeah, there's that. But there's also them putting her in an NPC relationship which makes hard if not impossible to romance her anymore. Which sucks because she is how I've wanted a LI path to go for over a decade.

I'm not sure how popular Blackwall is but I don't like his romance. However I think that there was potential in his romance and I might have liked it if it would have been handled differently. He has quite dark past and how he left you wasn't a good way to leave your woman. Anyway I think how he behaved in that judgement and how you had to forgive him right away were the main reasons why I don't like his romance. I guess I would have wanted to be angry at him. I think I would have liked that he would have to beg on his knees for your forgiveness :D

I agree... and he should definitely beg for forgiveness :D

 

Hmm...if Solas acted like him - I mean left you after a night spent together - that would be... I cannot find the right expression for that... But I really enjoyed his romance, so full of passion and... just love :) Though the ending after party should be better (swift look into a mirror on your face or just touch - as a remark he is with you in your heart and thoughts... not like "I am alone, enjoy the view!")

 

I don't mind tragic romances, in fact I like them... sort of :) As long as there is a "happily ever after" choice ;)

probably it was how you worded it. But the thing is, is a now sadly common trend for straight female to have the most hard to keep romance, or the damned to end no matter what.

 

Seem like it was dropped the "dead wife/sister/lover" just to replace it with "morally terrible choice to keep me" or "no matter your choices, I'll leave you!"  :wacko:

And I'm repeating myself, this time the straight female Inquiz where lucky because they had more choices, but I'm scared in the next game the trend will repeat itself but without the extra romances, leaving one option only for a non damned romance, maybe? :(

 

Sorry if I sound pathetic, but I like my characters to have a happy love life :unsure: and it wasn't always an option in later games.

I'm also scared that this trend continues and it worries me so much because I want to have a happy ending to my romances.

I agree. And I'm mostly fine with the tragic romances, I quite like the struggle after all... but if there is a chance for a happy ending.

 

Give me the hardest journey (even if having always to have it is quite tiresome) but give me the hope (and the chance) to finish it in happyness  :)

I think that Solas romance is the best romance in DAI and I think that there is still hope to get him back and I'm really hoping that it will happen. I know that it might not happen and I will probably be sad, frustrated  and dissappointed if that happens but still I keep hoping until  there is no hope :)
