That's not the point. The point is that it would be out of character (and utterly spiteful as a developer move) to have her sleep with the Inquisitor without giving any chance to set relationship parameters beforehand.

 

What relationship parameters, isn't that what the Keep is for? If she's not single and has a previous existing relationship, we're locked out entirely of that option and our flirting would get shot down? If she's single and unattached, she's might be more receptive to our advances, what's the problem?

 

As Heidirs said, let us have the option to flirt with her, even if she ultimately rejects you, kinda like Samara in ME2?

 

What's up with this mentality among fans that we should lock former LI's in chastity belts just because they happened to romance them... that's fine, but not everyone did? Maybe they might actually be more interesting to romance another protagonist they might be better suited to, rather than the protagonist they were assigned in a previous installment?

 

With all the rediscovered Elven lore, the Eluvians, as well as the encounters with Ancient Elves (knowingly and unknowingly), imagine how interesting the Merrill romance would have been with an Inquisitor, since they're part of an organisation that would have supported her endeavours and given her more access to forgotten elven history than she ever dreamed of?

 

Not to say that the romance with Hawke wasn't cute and adorable in DA2, just that in Inquisition, it'd have been different enough and given her way more involvement, that would have likely allowed it to avoid retreading the same old beats as before?

My .02, it's not that I feel possessive over "old" LIs. I was totally cool with Zev showing up in DA2 (even if it hadn't been bugged, my Tabris would've been on the sidelines like git it boi), and romancing Isabela with the foreknowledge that she maybe possibly perhaps had a fling with a previous player character, eyyy it's all good.

My only issue with Leliana (or anyone else) returning as a FULL romance option (you know, not just a quickie) would be annoyance because I don't want resources spent on characters that I may not have even liked the first time around. If Leliana was an option for the Inquisitor, I'd be grumpy because why not Alistair, or Morrigan, or..? What makes Leliana so special that she gets to be a romance TWICE? That's double the content for this one character when you could just, you know, spend those resources on somebody new. Like Scout Harding. Or Varric.

Not that Leliana's not great, but... damn.

I regretted getting that thing the moment I heard its incessant squeaking in the camp.

 

Which is why I only give it to her right before the end-game kicks off by going to Redcliffe for the final time, that way I know I'll never be entering camp again to ever hear the irritation.

[Heidirs]

They just need to...

 

Let it go.

I know what you mean, rather than Leliana, half the time I really wish I could have flirted with Morrigan in this game, her playful banter with the Inquisitor was a lot of fun to listen to and I really enjoyed their scenes together? While she's got a lot of plot-baggage, perhaps some of us might actually might have been interested in romancing the single-mother that Morrigan can be in a lot of world-states?

 

My only umbrage with Leliana being non-romanceable, is that if she must be the Liara of the Dragon Age franchise and the writer's pet darling, who's met everyone worth knowing in the series, has shown up more often than any other character and can even survive death, then allow me to at least have some option to flirt with her?

 

To be honest, it's not like Leliana didn't need more dialogue in the game either?

 

Has anyone actually noticed that aside from talking about Justinia, finding her place and her work, we really don't get a lot of actual conversations with her that flesh her out as a person and allow us as the Inquisitor to get to know her? I feel like she's the advisor my Inqusitor knows the least about, compared to the others? Even Cullen, who's rather work-obsessed and closed off reveals more about himself and his past than she does!

 

Just because the players know her well, doesn't mean that the character we're playing has access to that information?

[Andromelek]

Sorry for being a party pooper, but if we can't even romance any DLC character how do you expect to flirt with a DLC character that already has been romanced?

Oh no, I totally get where you're coming from! Leliana, Morrigan, etc. are very different people than they were even at the end of Origins. If DA4 takes place, I dunno, fifteen years from now and Sera and Blackwall show up as companions, they'd be different people, too... and it's entirely possible that single-mom Morrigan or an older, more mature Sera is EXACTLY what the Inquisitor or DA4's protagonist (or whoever) is looking for.

But if you, as a player, absolutely hated Leliana and all the sudden she's got a second romance arc? D: I'd be PO'd. Like, I don't hate Anders by any means but I have nooo desire to romance him, and if he shows up in DLC as a full-fledged romance option I would be annoyed for sure, because if I'm gonna have a DLC romance I'd rather it not be with someone I've already made up my mind about. I get why people would feel differently -- if Zevran was a romance option for the Inquisitor, dayumn straight I'd be all over that -- but there are folks out there who'd be understandably pissed because they don't like Zevran or his spicy salsa and would much rather mack on... Mother Giselle or something.

Flirting is fine. I'd flirt with a block of wood if I could. Quickies? Also great. I just don't want the whole cutscenes/walking off into the sunset thing with characters we've already gotten the chance to have that with, even if the Inquisitor is a better match for Leliana.

Just feels unfair to rehash those charas, but as with anything YMMV.

[Killdren88]

If I never hear that song again I will be so happy.

[Sifr]

@Vertigomez

 

Yeah, I can get why some people would be annoyed that someone like Leliana got another second romance, for sure?

 

I mean, it bothered me a tad in ME3 that only Liara was available to start a new romance with (save for male Shep and Kaidan) but Tali and Garrus had been sadly locked off for good? Didn't help that in ME3 that Liara had more romantic-ish dialogue with Shepard than the love interest at times, to the point where I felt like the writers were basically making it seem like Shepard was emotionally cheating on my LI?

 

It's not that I don't like Liara and I didn't want to romance her, I just wonder why she's an option, yet we were punished for not romancing Tali and Garrus in the previous game by having them get locked off? I mean, what's really the difference between Shepard embarking on some "Glad To Be Alive Sex" with Tali or Garrus whilst embarking on a Suicide Mission, or trying to stave off a Galactic Extinction Event? Tali and Garrus end up hooking up for that reason, as well as Gabby and Ken finally getting over their UST in the crawlspace under engineering?

 

Yeah, bringing back a previous LI and the VA is costly, the writer's risk repeating themselves, some fans might hate it anyway and it's not a Dating Sim, but still, don't we play Bioware games for the amount of choice and freedom they give us?

 

A flirt option, even if it leads to the reaction of "Uh... no!" from someone, is all some people are asking for?

 

[leaguer of one]

"No...She's mine."

As much as I would love to romance Leliana in DAI, I am sure it won't happen. It would only really work if she was not romanced by the Warden or the warden was dead.

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

*nods*

And then it comes back two games later!

 

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

 

I'm glad I reread through this thread because I GET THIS NOW!

 

And it is funny.

Indeed.

[Br3admax]

Nah, if she squeaked more in this game, I'd hate her less. 

[AnakinSkywalker2]

Bioware could give us a character pack that included Leliana, Isablea, etc., etc. as romances and companions thru some type of story treatment if not romanced or killed previously. These games just feel so disconnected from their previous installments other than the world state carrying over.

Why would Isabea be a romance in this game when she's not even in the game?

 

Recently being adding to MP doesn't count, imo. The Inquisitor never encounters her.

Isabela should of been in SP Inquisition. I'm sure i saw her boat docked in Redcliffe. 

[Handsome Jack]

No

I agree with Ares for once.

 

All you'd get out of this is a lot of pissed off Origins fans.

Hell it'd make the Jacob incident look tame

[CavalierToast]

No. That ship has sailed.

[Master Warder Z_]

Eh.

I got no problem with it.

[MadMadCarl]

I think that the players who tried to kill her would be furious if beside of reviving her bioware gives her a romance DLC

[TravisTrevelyan]

I remember when i posted this same topic 
Good times 

But really, while it would have expanded a bit on the LI's, the ones in it are solid. 
And Leliana has way too many variables to her to really be one. 
She could be with the Warden, have been betrayed by the Warden at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, could have gone over a decade without love at all, sacrificing her life to the Chantry. 
Plus she has way too many duties as the Spymaster, and possible Divine to be anything but a pseudo LI like Harding. 

[BobZilla84]

Seriously B-Ware I dont even want to romance Leliana in DAI I want to romance either Scout Harding or Dagna.

[VelvetV]

Isn't it a bad idea to make romanceable a character that might be at the moment in a relationship with HoF?

 

Did something happen to HoF and I missed it? Mine was alive at the end of DAO and in relationship with Leliana. I wouldn't want her to be unfaithful, even if HoF is nowhere to be seen at Skyhold.
