Why Bioware ? She is cute, adorkable and funny. She is voiced by Ali Hillis. She gets along well with everyone. She gives us gifts and calls us by our character's actual surname in Jaws of Hakkon.

 

Does Bioware have something against Dwarven romance or something ?

You aren't Captain Kirk. That's why.

Most people think she is a test to see how people would respond to a dwarfmance. I think she passed. Maybe next game?

I don't know why they'd need a test. So many people were outspokenly bummed they couldn't romance Varric, both in DA:2 and DA:I. I would have romanced Harding in one playthrough or another, she's pretty rad.

I remember one of the devs saying something about pedophilia in regards to dwarven romances. Which is just wrong on so many levels. I wonder what Peter Dinklage would say about that?

I think it was a joke by Gaider? I think he may have also said that he personally didn't like dwarfmances? I don't know, maybe someone else can source these quotes?

Wouldn't actual dwarf gamers feel left out? I'm sure they don't view themselves as pedo-material. We have hetro, same sex, cross species romances. But Dwarven romances? It's too far! Lol.

PS- I would have romanced Harding as a Dwarven Inquisitor, btw. More options, more replay ability.

I hope one of the devs didn't say that. My respect for them would drop by a sh*t ton if one did in fact say that, and that it was enough to not do them.

It was David Gaider (PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE REST OF THIS POST) and he said that, jokingly, about someone who put together a video of Alistair going at it with a dwarf with very infantile features, including piggytails.

 

Say what you want, but it simply did look awkward.

 

Also, he reaffirmed numerous times that he was relating to that depiction specifically, and not dwarf/non-dwarf romances in general.

It was a DG comment taken out of context by the fanbase

It makes me wonder.. is that where their mind wandered off to.. or did they get a consensus elsewhere?

That clears it up for me, thanks.

Yeah, geez, glad for some context there. I would have been like, "If romancing a Dwarf is pedophilia, then romancing a Qunari is beastiality."

Taken out of context or not, there still isn't dwarf romance option after all...

Was more about what the cutscenes could look like if you're intentionally trying to make your dwarf look like a kid, and from that point of view its a bit more understandable.

They'll probably have 50 dwarf romance options next game.

Actually... yeah. That makes sense, come to think of it.

Well, that doesn't help explain this particular issue because it only applies to the player controlled character and not NPCs or companions, who have set appearances. If a player wants to make a Dwarf that looks like a child they already can. It wouldn't be a reason not to be able to romance Harding or any other Dwarf character.

I'm still waiting for us to be able to hang out in the Tavern like she said we should. If only becomes a romance in the next game with a new protagonist, then all the flirting she did would have been leading me on for no reason.

Because Ali Hillis got so much love in ME, they wanted to give her a break?

Dwarves look like kids ? We are talking about Dwarves. The race with the highest percentage of neotenous features are Elves, not Dwarves. This is not just true in Dragon Age but in many other fantasy games and literature as well.

 

It is the Elves that have very sparse facial hair and body hair. It is that Elves have large expressive eyes similar to a young child. Dwarves are short and stocky and have lots of hair all over them. How can they be childlike or even look childlike ?
