Wait, you can actually marry Sera? Oh hellz yeah!

 

Yep! My female Dalish rogue was an archer too, so the girls had that in common. Sera's romance is one of the sweeter ones experienced during Inquisition and the devs really effectively paid off that relationship in Trespasser; and do not skip reading Sera's notebook prior to her proposal. Or afterwards!

[KitKat21]

Agreed. I was hoping to marry her and retire to Antiva. Alas, that was not the case.

Well we got one of the two at least.

Like I said before, marriages for all the romances would have been interesting. That doesn't mean I think they'd make sense. To me Josephine's character and romance arc could easily culminate into a marriage. Solas? Not so much.

Have to admit though, a marriage proposal from Sera about knocked me out of my chair.

Bull's ending slide if he's romanced and survives?

[NessCraig]

I really really wanted a marriage for my inquisitor for Dorian especially.

However, I understand why it didn't happen. They needed to make sure certain characters were in place where they needed them without the need for the inquisitor to be there connected. My guess, because marriage is an option, the inquistors story is over or Cullen and Sera will have to be companion options in 4 where the inquistor is the protagonist.

We won't accept any of the three above ( sera Cullen or inq) saying " I left that powerful spouse at home while I help find Solas. It just won't make sense.

[WidePaul]

I'm surprised you can't marry Josie considering what you do to be with her, that's bummed me out a bit.

[Han Yolo]

Well you've been together for what, 2, 3 years? No need to rush anything. Still loads of time.

Am I the only one that had my Inq politely decline Cullen's marriage offer?

I will never understand the hype around marriage... Am I a heartless shrew now?

[Rekkampum]

Those are the only two unfortunately.

 

Blackwall, Cassandra, Dorian, Josephine, Solas, and The Iron Bull don't have an option for them and the Inquisitor to get married. 

 

That's not entirely true, mainly in part to the new DLC.

Spoiler

The Trespasser DLC allows you to talk about marriage with The Iron Bull, and he agrees to it if it's that important to the Quizzy. Just hope he's a Tal-Vashoth, because if he isn't, things are not gonna end well.

[Beren Von Ostwick]

Solas runs away before you have a chance to propose. He also destroys one of your hand, to make sure you understand he ain't gonna put a ring on it.

Just need to make it clear to him, then, that a ring isn't the only thing he ain't gonna put places.

I would suspect that's why the option was there.
And no, definitely not heartless.

[DreamSever]

Bit late to this but josephine shouldve been an option with non divine cass, its not a rant but i would like closure at least like the fem quizies get

I didn't know that was possible. How does he react? (Yes, I know that's an old post.)

Hm... for some reason it didn't sink in before that the fem Inquisitors are the only ones who get a marriage option. However, given the immense popularity of this mod, I suppose I'm not surprised.

I think it makes sense for Josephine to not "get married on the fly" as such. As you could see with her personal mission everything involves a lot of paper work and the approval of her family with her character. In the epilogue if the Inquisition was disbanded the Quizzy travels with her to Antiva where her father approves of the match, regardless of gender. Which is nice.

 

Still would have liked to be able to propose.

 

Also with Cas, I have to admit the conversation with her ended a bit suddenly. "Maybe we should get married?" "WE DON*T HAVE TO RUSH INQUISITOR" *silence*

[thats1evildude]

I just don't see the big deal about marriage. I'm perfectly fine not marrying my LI. I'm more saddened by never seeing an inch of skin below the neck.

And I can see the point made by Jpsie's writer: it's not really in-character for her to get married without her family present.

[AlanC9]

I can't speak for any of the others, but Josie and Cassandra (non divine) romances are happy endings. While there are no marriages, there are hints at it happening in the future. (More directly with Cassandra). You move in with Josie, and Cassandra and the Inquis stay together.

What do you folks figure happens if Cass is the Divine? The epilogue talks about what people say was going on, not about what was actually going on.

I don't necessarily want or need to get married to my LI either. And to be honest, I don't think it's something that Dorian would want to do for various reasons that I've posted about elsewhere, including his thread, so I won't elaborate here. However, I do think it's a shame that none of the other LIs even have the option to broach the subject. But... I can see why they did that as well.

 

From the writer's perspective, imagine you don't think it's in-character for your character to get, or want to get married, regardless of however much they love their partner, and for whatever reason. Then you are forced to write a dialogue response where they turn the PC down. I don't care how tactfully it is written, how wonderfully the LI responds, how reasonable their answer is, or how in-keeping with role-play it would be, it would still be a huge blow to a LOT of players to be refused in such a way. In that case, I think they made the right choice in just not allowing the option to be addressed at all.

 

Of course, the monkey wrench thrown into that is the "joke" Varric plays on Cassandra that has her inquire about marriage prospects, regardless of whom the Inquisitor romanced. I think that rather ruins any sort of forethought that the writers had in disallowing the option in the first place. As I've said elsewhere: it makes Cassandra look like an idiot, Varric look like an ass, and the player feel bad**.

 

 

** Obviously, does not apply to everyone.

I thought Cullen's and Sera's marriages were cute, though I feel it was a little... unprofessional to include a wedding JUST for those two characters, and no one else. (I know, there were eight love interests, but still. Only two?) Or, at the very least, I felt they should include a marriage for male Inquisitors since they have two weddings for female players.

 

I know, I know, time and budgets. But still. Cassandra is a huge romantic, and Josephine is the proverbial "Disney Princess." Heck, last game you thwarted her fiance so you could be with her. Cassandra even invites the discussion by mentioning marriage. Would it have really hurt them to include a wedding for dudes?

 

Then again... there's that social expectation that the man is supposed to propose, and it would have been weird if the player saw a "Marry me" heart icon seemingly out of nowhere. And Cassandra is a HUGE romantic who wants everything done "right": spring, flowers, poetry, doves, the whole shebang. And while Josephine is not quite as determined a romantic as Cassandra, she still has her girlish fairy tale fantasies. Plus, she's a workaholic. If the Inquisitor proposed to get married out of nowhere, Cassandra would want to wait till you could properly plan the ideal wedding, and Josephine would be stressed because it would throw off her whole schedule. It might also stretch disbelief if the Inquisitor suddenly says, "Don't worry, I already have it all planned; the flowers, the band, the vows, the doves; etc; all you have to do is show up" and the player is sitting there going, "Wait, you have? Why wasn't I told about this?"

 

Then again, would it have really hurt to have the Inquisitor formally propose and the two become officially engaged during Trespasser (not just answer Cassandra's question with "maybe someday,"), and then the ending slide confirms, "After all the craziness of the events of Trespasser died down, the Inquisitor and Cassandra/Josephine got married" with a pretty little slide with a lovely picture. It's not the same as a pretty cutscene like for Cullen and Sera, but at least it'd be something.

I thought Iron Bull marriage could've worked well... say you rescue the Chargers and Bull is declared Tal-Vashoth, he is thrown out of his community, and his only safety net is the Chargers, the Inquisition and the Inquisitor if you decide to romance them. The first months would be troubling for Bull, as he tries to reassemble his life, thoughts and beliefs. He has to reform himself without the help of the Qun. He now has to hang with people who don't follow the Qun, and whose beliefs and customs are more or less new to him.

 

His stance on marriage is one of those things that are hardcoded into his brain. He discards it as something useless, or something unimportant, because that what the Qun has taught him. It's hard to discard your beliefs and opinions that your community has taught you, even if you are branded an '' enemy. ''

 

As he learns new things and maybe discusses the significance and importance of marriage as something that brings two people closer together, he might start to rethink his beliefs. While still adamant about marriage being whatever, he could slowly start understand it's importance to the people outside of the Qun. It's about growing up, and letting people near you, and understanding their opinions. In his romance, Iron Bull does say something aching to '' you've made me a better man '' and I like to think that he meant something like '' you gave me courage to doubt and think for myself, and escape from a community that I've belong to for so long, but deep inside knew wasn't good for me '' by it.

 

So between Inquisition-Trespasser, Iron Bull and the Inquisitor probably had a lot of amazing moments, exchanged opinions, discussed, loved, cared, embraced each other, all that nice stuff. The Inquisitor is the most important thing to him, and the only person he has really opened up to and loved. The Inq has influenced him greatly, and has let him be a free man and give him time to work things out for himself. 

 

In Trespasser, it could've been wonderful to finally see the result of him growing up as a person and how he has changed after being thrown out of his community, and declared a traitor. And finally, marriage being the ultimate nail on the head. He might have his doubts first, but when he is actually there, sees his partner in a beautiful suit/dress, looks them in the eye and finally realizes why people outside the Qun get married and why people think so highly of it. In the scene he'd be really emotional, and finally showing his partner, the Inquisitor, how much they mean to him. It's not only that the Inquisitor needs Bull, but Bull has come to realize how much he also needs the Inquisitor. 

 

That's character development, right, right?

 

Idk, maybe I'm branding Qun as too much of a brainwashing cult than it actually is, and Iron Bull as a slave to the Qun, and marriage as some kind of heretical belief to Bull. All I'm saying is that being able to marry Bull would've been great and had the writers worked on it, could've been pretty good character development as well. Sure he says '' after this is over, we'll get married '' but I don't remember much from the ending slides of trespasser that it actually happened so...

I just think it's a nice option to have. With Sera you can also deny the wedding and just carry on being a, what do you call it in English; non-ordained couple?

 

I even wish there would have been the option to propose to a character and for them to deny you, this would fit Isabela for example.

 

But as I said, nice option. It's in the same ballpark as the "let the main character have a child!" which I think is the next step. Would be a cool option to have but not everyone would obviously want to take it.

[thats1evildude]

Commonlaw. The term you were looking for is common law.

[Knight of Dane]

Commonlaw. It's a common law relationship.

 

English is weird.

There was nothing wrong in having marriages for two characters and not the others, since you wouldn't even know that without playing those romances and to be honest, I wasn't expecting marriage.   What annoyed me was Varric's stupid joke because it made me think it was going to be a possibility and then it was a big disappointment when nothing came of it.    

 

First time it was with Dorian.  Cassandra asking me about it, took me completely by surprise but I thought "why not" if I'm being given the option.   Cassandra encourages me to follow my heart.   I rush round to Dorian, only to find Varric holding a leaving party for him.   I was not amused.

 

Next run, I was actually romancing Cassandra.    The conversation was excruciatingly awkward and I really wanted to thump Varric.  

 

Finally, I braved my Solas run and it was even worse.   The joke was in the worst possible taste, made Cassandra look an insensitive idiot and Varric even worse, particularly when both Vivienne and Sera had been sympathising with my girl because they knew that after 2 long years she still wasn't over him.

 

So to my mind they should either have had the marriage as an option for everyone or leave out the stupid joke prank about it.

 

Oh and for people who want to be inclusive, how come only female characters get the option of marriage?

Boy, this Varric's a motherflicker. 

 

I've seen the one with the Cassandra romance, but I can't seem to find a video for the other.

[Bardox9]

I was kind of bummed that you can't marry Josephine. I can understand the others, they all have other things to do independent of the Inquisition after the events of DA:I, but Josie? What excuse is there for that? She's the story book romance. There is suppose to be a happily ever after there. It's just... stops... >.< Not even going to get into Harding's... whatever that is suppose to be. If you are going to start something, finish the damn thing.
