I was flirting with Harding as Tal Vashot to see her afraid of the perspective. Not a bit. What a brave girl.

OMG! WHERE IS MY SAMAAAAAARA! 

 

rectify at once ! or I throw a singularitee!! 

[Andraste_Reborn]

I'm not counting Samara as a full romance because she ultimately turns you down and doesn't grant the achievement.

[AlexiaRevan]

She is a romance and she has content in the dlc and screw achievement 

 

heck even the save website for the trilogy count Samara as a romance . 

[Felis Menari]

Samara is a romance option with the Citadel DLC. There's no sex scene like there are for other characters, but nonetheless Samara still is a romance option.

[Andraste_Reborn]

What counts as a 'full' romance is somewhat arbitrary. With games that give a romance achievement, I chose to only count the characters that trigger it, not everyone you can flirt with or sleep with. (I mean, if I count Samara, I'd arguably also need to count Morinth, Javik, Vega, and Diana Allers.)

 

In any case, this is pretty off-topic. How about those dwarves?

[Octarin]

IIRC male dwarves who were of the royal line in DA:O (but not if you chose a darktown dwarf or a female dwarf) had the option to romance a darktown girl, and father a son as well. Yet another choice that seemed meaningful at the time, and maybe also at the time when the Keep was laid out, but is basically used as pointless fluff. And I wonder why, since dwarves are a rather important and much extended element of the DA world. Yet, they seem to be consistently left out. I wonder why. I also wonder what happens if you had a male dwarf warden who fathered a son with Morrigan. Just one of those cringe-worthy discrepancies.

[Toasted Llama]

If that dwarf-romance is going to be romancable by multiple races I feel sorry for the animator.


Anyway....


IM HARD FOR HARDING, BIWAER PLIZ!! #HardingRomance!

[daveliam]

Meh, it's no more difficult than to have to animate a dwarf PC with the other characters, right?  I mean, they already had to animate dwarves with 6 LIs in this past game, right?

[themageguy]

Yeah im hoping for dwarven romance options in the future.

Maybe by the next game Dagna could be an option?

[caradoc2000]

Alien romance?

-Ellen Ripley greatly disapproves.

 

Apologies, that was just too delicious opportunity to miss.

[PhroXenGold]

 

I hope Scout Harding is a test for a dwarf character romance (or a dwarf female) and not a Scout Harding romance (because we could flirt with Varric in DA:2 as F!Hawke, yet no Varric romance). I very rarely am actively against a returning character, but I just am not a fan of her specifically. She's just so mundane and uninteresting. 

 

I have to admit, her being "mundane" and "uninteresting" is a big part of why I like her. Not everyone needs to be complex and extraordinary. In fact, most people aren't. I feel games (and other media) often lack the more "ordinary" type of people. Harding, is for me, a more convincing and believable character because she's like that. 

[berelinde]

I'm hopeful that DA4 will rectify this.  I'm expecting Scout Harding to be back as an ungated bisexual romance.  I think that the flirting with her was a way to gauge interest in a dwarf romance and, since she's been popular, I suspect she'll be back as the 'returning character' companion. 

 

I just hope that they continue to offer racial choice in the next game too. 

I'd love that, I really would... but I'm not going to get my hopes up about Scout Harding in particular.

 

My opinion isn't based on any perceived lack of player interest or inferred developer bias, but upon Scout Harding's background. She was born and raised near Redcliffe and she was a shepherd prior to her recruitment into the Inquisition. We have *never* had a companion who was "nobody special" before they joined the team. Every one of them has had some kind of exotic, romantic past. Me, I think it would make for a refreshing change. I guess we'll see (eventually) if the developers agree.

 

Edit: See @In Exile for what some players have to say about it. I share @PhroXenGold's opinion myself, but I doubt we're in the majority.

DID SOMEONE SAY DORF ROMANCE

/flies in like a gale wind

I remember beating the main campaign, which was rather...lackluster. Aribeth was cool though. I bought it last year on GoG, so I might replay it at some point. But right now I am actually drowning in good games. And I have yet to beat Planescape:Torment and Neverwinter Nights 2, as well.

Both Hordes of the Underdark (for NWN) and Mask of the Betrayer (for NWN2) were sooo much better than the OCs. If you play nothing else, play those.

I don't know, I'm worried a dwarf romance would have little content, and make for a short playthrough.

YOU DARE--

I feel games (and other media) often lack the more "ordinary" type of people. Harding, is for me, a more convincing and believable character because she's like that.

I absolutely loathe mundane characters. There is nothing I care to learn when it comes to them and if a game has a critical mass of them it's either never getting purchased or if I made the mistake of being it getting thrown into the garbage at the highest possible speed.

Whenever fiction looks to "ordinary" characters is the point fiction loses me.

I don't mean to sound combative but that's just one of my few deal breakers in fiction. It isn't just that I don't like the trope. It's that I actively don't care for it that it harms my enjoyment of the product.

[vertigomez]

^Tbh, I'm sure if Harding did come back as a LI (and that's a huuuge if. You could flirt with Varric in DA2, after all, and when he was announced as a companion in DAI folks were pretty certain he was on the map...), she'd be more fleshed out. That's certainly been the case with Cullen, who started as a random flirt-only NPC (in one origin!).

[OhNoWhyHow]

I wholeheartedly second this motion, though I'd prefer it's a male dwarf.  Still any dwarf is better than no dwarf. 

[vertigomez]

Hybrid thread time: what if we got a dwarf KISA? Eh ehh?

[berelinde]

^^ I would be on that so fast...

That's why you're my friend, gomez.  Rock-Knocker KISA ftw.

You and me both! *brofist*

Oh, you.

WHAT DOES YOUR ROCK-KNOCKER DREAMBOAT LOOK LIKE, DAVE? I need details. Beardy, bear-y details.

I'm sorry Vert I didn't mean to belittle your preferences.

Of course, he'd need to be all bara-bear like.  Like Blackwall, but condensed down a bit.  I'm a fan of light hair, light eyes, and pale skin, personally.  I'd love to see a ginger m/m romance, although two of the four prominent dwarf allies have been redheads so far (Oghren and Harding). Come to think of it, I could probably use the four dwarf allies to create my perfect Rock Knocker dwarf romance, a la Frankenstein.  I'd give him:

• Oghren's blue eyes and awesome facial hair
• Sigrun's facial tatoos
• Harding's ginger hair and freckles
• Varric's chest hair, naturally

 

I'm sorry Vert I didn't mean to belittle your preferences.

C'mon Sardaukar.  You'd better stop before I get short with you.  I'm already a wee bit annoyed.

Another slight to dwarves happens at the celebration. Why was Scout Harding not invited, that would have been the perfect time to have a drink in the Inquisitor's private quarters where a romance or at least the hint of more romance to come.

Because she's an irrelevant side character. Like Dagna, the blacksmith or horse master Dennett.
