Actually, Thane's death was forced. In ME2 he said he was going to feel the first synthoms of the illness in a year. Six month after ME2 he should have been dead by months? WTF?!?! And in Shadow Broker DLC there where files where it was explained there was the chance of a transplant to give him more time to live. When he romanced Shepard, he is willing to fight and live. But in ME3 his charcter grow has been destroyed to have him again ok with dyng. Again. WTF?!?!
And there was a mission that was scrapped where Shep could find a cure for him in ME3. Still, even without a cure, Thane should not have been already dyng in ME3, but starting only to have the very first syntoms of the illness. At least he should have been present for the entire game without problems. But Bio decided the game wasn't already depressing enought, and that straight female players actually loved being left in the dust by a jerk that can't keep it in his pants and doesn't know what a contraceptive is, and see their loved one die jumping on a blade.
But enought, I've decided a lot of time ago the only LI for my Shepard is Garrus.
I'd like to see more different culture in the next DA, than actually races. Non andrastian humans, actual city elves, Kal Sharok's dwarfes. There are many chance to expand the actual races without creating new ones.
I do not know about female MC romance options on any game lol
But time wise a year passes during the events of ME2.

It felt more like DA:I was looking to get rid of cultures tbh.
Sera had no culture. Solas had a culture but was different for reasons.
Iron Bull didn't feel like he had a culture as his ethnicity was gone.
Varric definitely has never shown any Dwarfen culture.
More culture would be nice as it would help set characters apart and more solidify them in my mind at least.

I don't think I'd be up to Krogan romance myself, but I'd really love to see romanceable Drell, Salarian, Turian and Quarian in next ME game. I'd rather have more alien options than human options too. And having female Drell and Turian squamates, maybe male Quarian as well would be cool too. Turian and Drell especially when we haven't really seen females of them (well there was one DLC with female Turian where american female Inquisitor voiced her I think, but haven't played it).
Krogan fan here. What are they, chopped liver? They can be poets, scientists, mechanics, mercs....um...okay, that's about it. No reason to overlook them though!
I don't think I could romance a Krogan unless Krogan ladies ever became a playable race in ME. However, Tunchunka is still pretty/pretty dangerous and Eve is still awesome.

Still didn't make sense. Thane should have started to feel ill, not "should have been dead month ago"
for ME3. it was a fat retcon to make the story even more dramatic without a real reason (beside ****** off those who romanced him and make it all more tragic "because")
But I agree about the whipe out of cultures in companions. Even Vivienne is basically a non-Circle mage, since she is all pro-Circle, but she didn't even live in one ![]()

Yeah a lot of ME3 was over dramatized to try and move it's audience, but it only got a blank stare from me lol.
Wait a minute....
So Vivienne is an apostate then?

Sorry, worded badly...(stupid phone) Vivienne is a Circle mage, but she is pro-Circle... without living in one! (easy being pro-Circle like that...)
She is a Circle mage, but she doesn't live in one. So she doesn't really know how actually people live in a Circle for at least years byt the time of DAI.

My problem with Thane's death was the idiocy of getting close to the target to shoot it (no confidence in your aiming skills?
)
@RINNZ I couldn't agree more about how everyone we meet is andrastian or very...uhhmm what word to use?...tolerant?...of it. I really hope we will see very little of the chantry in the next DA, or maybe BW can ease down on kissing its a**.

Ok so she was taught like those raised in a circle but she has never had to suffer the living conditions of being raised in a circle... Got it ![]()
I guess they tried to bring in a new culture with Val royaeux but it just seemed high class than an actual culture per sey.
@CathyMe
Fair point about Thane

I don't actually have problem with Thane's death. I like some drama in my game and my characters story and I think his death was quite well done and touching too...
Also on Vivienne's case I think she did live in the circle when she was younger, but when she rose on rank and got noble lover she didn't have to live there anymore. I don't also see her views very far from the truth in circles, I'm pretty pro-circle myself ![]()
And I don't have problem how Iron Bull being qunari was handled nor Varric being dwarf since on their own I don't think those cultures are that intresting ^^;

I rather enjoy Varric's separation from the rest of the dwarves in terms of culture. I'd rather not have every dwarf companion be all gung-ho life underground is the sh*t and I'm still getting used to this whole sky nonsense.

Yes I understand what your saying.
It's like when I was young and I would be in love with a girl but then put her in this mental bubble of purity in which there could never be any kind of sexual act and she couldn't possibly think of wanting to do such things as it would "spoil" her lol.
That kind of thing right?
I honestly don't know what you mean, so I'll just have to go with... "No?"
If the person in question was a man, they would be someone who is attracted to a woman but isn't attracted to them sexually. Or to use the Primary Attraction/Secondary Attraction/Primary Desire/Secondary Desire model, they would only feel Secondary Sexual Desire for that woman, as in would only desire to have sex for reasons like wanting her to feel good, procreation, etc.
I see, thanks for the explanation.

That's a worldly view not culture.

Well to be fair Vivienne lived in the circle until she passed her harrowing and probably until she became the mistress of the Duke or the court enchanter, whichever came first after which she had rooms... somewhere in Val Royeaux and a residence with/at one of the duke's estates. She does also say that each circle did things differently but that at most of them once you'd passed your harrowing you could ask for leave to live elsewhere and do so IF it was granted. (It explains why Shale's mage owner in Origins was living in Honnleath rather than a circle but was still in touch with the circle, he had permission). I suspect Viv spends some time at the circle when she is head of it because she would still need to deal with some of the matters that come up.
She's pro-circle one because she acknowledges mages are dangerous and need to be trained properly and two because she actually enjoyed growing up in her circle being able to study freely and safely so her experience in the circle has been completely positive and allowed her to get as far as she has. She's also very devout whatever else she is or isn't her faith matters to her from what I gathered from her.
Varric was good from the perspective of the surface dwarf culture and really the way many surface dwarves still cling to aspects of life in Orzammer as his brother was trying to do, he was just disillusioned because of the toll it took on his family. I think it would be good though if our next dwarven companion was different, someone either from Orzammer or better still Kal Sharok since we know so litlle about it and how it works. I'd also like a real city elf and dalish elven companion at the same time, that could be a very interesting dynamic. ![]()
And a female qunari who offers another viewpoint of the qunari (not a ben hassrath), or tal vashoth would be fine, I'd also want her to be an f/f option, bi or gay would be nice.

Hopefully she would be part of the Arigena's domain.
We've learned a bit about the Qun from the Arishok's domain, though Sten and the Arishok, and from the Ariqun's domain, though Tallis and The Iron Bull, but we have yet to hear from the third part.

Yeah that's what I was thinking because we really haven't seen their perspective yet. The closest we came is Bull's bake off... er baker's comparison and he's still looking at it from a different perspective even within the Qun.

Nah I aint the only one that has thought like that when young, that I know for a fact. ![]()
But I am kind of surprised you have never felt like that before and now I am curious lol.
So you have never thought of someone that you liked but watched from afar (non-stalker ok lol) because you maybe never had the courage to ask them out as "perfect" and "pure". Something like your personal "goddess" no?
And then that mental image or pedestal that you place them on shatters once you find out they have slept with a guy.
Never experienced that no? ![]()

Interesting how this topic got away from this being about Dragon Age, but I would have preferred a lot more women in Inquisition to be able to at least tap, like in Origins. In the first game you had the opinion to be a little male hoe. Now they seem to be converting into a bit of a fanny or panties loyalty choice. At least in Origins you were able to have an orgy.

This is a Bioware forum; shouldn't be that surprising, really... ![]()
Holy crap, this thread exploded while I was off visiting family. And why do arguments always seem to break out while I'm away? Tsk, tsk! Finger waggles for everyone!
Also, you all can discuss what kind of LI's you want for both DA and ME. I'm interested in everyone's thoughts for either franchise.

It is when you're new to Bioware forums lol.
I think enforcing cultural differences between the races will help make characters more interesting rather than just making them all under one type of banner (andrastian) and making different sexualities their difference.
Characters need to be deeper than that.
It's why I liked DA:O because each character race you chose had their own story which would change the way you looked at the world you was then put into.
And your companions each had their own stories which were interesting.
DA:I tbh i didn't even bother with that many personal quest as the game it's was not engaging as my own character had nothing to keep me invested as "The Herald of Andraste" was all he was and all that was focused on.
It was BS.
Who was I before this? How did I come to be at the gathering? What was my standpoint? How was my life?
I have to headcannon all of this? fuk that might as well not play the game and just headcannon the entire story then as it will be more appealing and fulfilling lol.
I don't wanna romance superficial characters just like I don't want to be one!
Character depth is very important to me on a whole.
