Hi all

 

so my current play-through is an Elf Female Inquisitor and im replaying it coz initially when i was at it i was romancing Solas but after events at what pride had wrought i ended the romance but apparently i couldnt start a romance with Sear or Cullen. Now on my replay of the same play-through (coza that little what so ever with the romance with Solas not ending even after me ending it) i didnt romance Solas but Blackwall instead and after completing Wicked hearts and Abyss and during judgement of Thom Rainier i ended the romance and then went to Sear and again there no romance option (but it was there just before the judgement of Thom Rainier task!!??) but this time around i do have a romance option with Cullen though...but what happened with Sera (both the times at that!)? isnt it so that if and when u end 1 romance the other 'romance options' are still available??

 

thx

You can also go ask in the Sera thread. I'm sure her fans there will be happy to help as well.

 

I can't speak to the Sera romance specifically, but the different LIs have different trigger points that you need to hit in order for the romance to happen. It might just be that those for Sera have already passed. All of the romances are not the same and they interact with each other in different ways.

 

If you're really wanting to romance Sera, you might want to just have a play where you just go for her alone and ignore everyone else.

Well, I'm not enough of a "fan" of Sera but i get what u mean and i see about the trigger points ...i was just wanting to have 1 of the many play-through where my Inquisitor has romanced more than 1..alas!

 

anyone know about these 'trigger points' please

 

thx

You don't have to be a big Sera fan to post in the thread. You can just go in there and ask a question about the romance. The reason to do so is because the people that post in the character threads will be really familiar with all of the various paths and such and will know what is required.

These games always seem to have very long memories with regard to romance. Some characters will be treated as a potential partner if you *ever* choose a romance option, even if its just a casual flirting remark. Its best to remember that and plan ahead. So whenever you see a romance option (and there's one in her first conversations in Haven), then take them. And to be safe, never flirt with anyone else - ever!

 

In DA2 for example, if you ever flirt with Merill, even just once, it will trigger the scene at Hawke's house where you are given a very draconian choice (either accept a full romance or shoot her down in an extremely heartless way).

 

The games can easily get themselves tangled in all kinds of knots, losing track of who is and isn't being romanced. If you want a specific outcome, its best to decide right at the start and focus all your energies on making it happen (i.e always say what they want to hear, flirt whenever the option appears, never flirt with anyone else). Also get it done as soon as possible, to minimize the risk of other quests interfering, taking characters out of the party etc.

I think you climbed too far up the Wall and can't get back down....you're stuck up there.

 

It seems you locked in Blackwall's romance and others aren't available anymore.

Hum, from what I know, if you keep on flirting with Solas, Cullen and Sera you can break up with Solas and go to Sera or Cullen. I have a gameplay where I flirted them, established a romance with Solas after Fade quest and before Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts. I made sure that all dialogues with Cullen and Sera were completed except for the one dialogue in which you establish a relationship with either of them. Then I broke up with Solas after returning from the temple of Mythal and both Sera and Cullen were romancable. Also, it is easy to find out if Sera can be a love interest later (after breaking up with Solas), because if during romancing Solas you ask her to start a relationship she will express jealousy.

Yeah true... Gotta be careful when flirting Blackwall. It locks other romances and his romance very early in the game.

^ Oooo dang. "Not interested in being your second." I love that.

 

The only other remarks of this type that I've heard have been Dorian's and he suggests that he doesn't want there to be any misunderstandings with the other people. It's interesting how the various LIs respond in the circumstance.

 

However, I will say that, while I know that such things happen in real life, it doesn't seem to me that there is enough material in the game to make it seem like establishing a relationship after initially pursuing someone else is a "real" sort of thing. You have a conversation like this one with Sera, you go break up with whomever, then go back to her and she accepts and it's likely never brought up again. To me, it takes away some of the romance, and also has the unfortunate result of making the new LI seem like a rebound, which I don't consider fair to them. But again, because it's a game this isn't addressed in any sort of real way.

 

Of course, I generally dislike the idea some players have of wanting to hook up with all the LIs that they can just because they can. But it's their game, so I don't really care overmuch, and I know there will always be players wanting to do this as long as there are romances in these games.

I like multiple romances in two Bioware games, Jade Empire and DA:O (in DA:O I mean first get with Morrigan, then with either Leliana or Zevran). I appreciated that with Morrigan you could acknowledge that the relationship was just a physical one, and then still have a friendship with her. I think David Gaider once said that that was intentional, that Morrigan was more comfortable having sex with someone than being emotionally intimate.

 

What I liked in Jade Empire was that if you romanced both Dawn Star and Silk Fox right til the end, you could lock yourself into ONLY being with both of them, not one or the other. After telling them the whole game that you're close to both of them, they'd work out some sort of polyamorous relationship between the three of them. It could have been done better (the game doesn't really reflect that you're with both of them, treating it as a variation of the Silk Fox romance, and the fact that Silk Fox and Dawn Star are related is never dealt with), but what was there felt authentic, not cheap or sleazy.

 

I also like in ME2: Lair of the Shadow Broker that a romanced Liara calls you out on seeing other people if you did a ME2 romance.

i see about the 'chance is over at the part of the play-through i am' fact..sad but ah!  well..

 

as for fact of wanting to have more than 1 romances, well...my base goal was finding out if having all the romanced companions in party while exploring would initiate some if any conversation between them (like in DA2 where 2 romances were actually possible till before the 3rd act and after that the 2 companions if teams together would actually talk about it, same in Mass Effect and such...) after i had romanced 1, broken up with them and then gone to another or mayb even had say, romanced Blackwall (who i absolutely regard as an invisible npc in most of my previous play-throughs...) then broke up with him during his judgement then romanced Sera broke up with here after Mythal Temple over being "too much elfy" then romanced either Cullen or Josephine.

 

but i guess ima have to stick to 1 romance for better or worse ...

 

but then again DAI is only 1/4th as realistic as any of bioware's earlier products in same series or other series (even as bioware so proudly claimed before DAI's release that its gonna have a lot of realistic cause and effect and what not have you but ended up messing it all up with the infamous 'multiplayer syndrome' of EA for the piracy protection<no matter how they market it for being a fun element multiplayer element in a Single Player necessary game isnt about fun but about protection against piracy>...in my opinion of course) and  esp. with the fact that say, comparing DA2 to DAI...a common person running away from previous home becomes a mercenary or later on a champion..he/she aint as imp as an inquisitor anyways so going around a city being other people's errand-boy isnt a problem but when u have someone important enough for the whole world to call u 'worship' and Inquisitor and u have a throne of your own and a palace...why would any such kingly figure in 'reality' ever go around collecting herbs and metals and crafting his/her weapons and stuff like that...but i DIGRESS, i truly went off on a completely off-topic note here, my apologies..

[Addictress]

pfft. I prefer sticking to one solid deep (like Solas-Anders-deep) romance for one playthrough. It's just more epic that way. I mean, love triangles are fine. Like Eowyn-Aragorn-Arwen dynamics. But Aragorn aggressively hitting on both? It's just not .... it's not fitting to the noble Aragornesque hero lens through which we're forced to play these epic fantasy games. Even in the case of ignoble swash-buckling Hawke having funz with Isabela. Really, must reduce it to purely physical, vvery brief fling. Else it becomes a multi-dating sim, consuming resources that should be spent elsewhere in storytelling. And we certainly do NOT want that.

I don't know about other romances because I haven't looked into it, but I think Sera and Iron Bull have some back and forth banter about sex with the Inquisitor.

[Navasha]

Sera has some additional flags that pretty much shuts off her romance if you don't activate her first.   I use the multi-romance mod on one of my runs just to experience all the romances that I typically wouldn't bother with during my more 'canon' playthroughs.    Even using that mod, you have to lock in her romance first before all the others. 

[AnimalBoy]

Yeah, i'm a one romance per game kind of guy. Once i flirt with someone i usually stick with them only.

[gldartt]

In my latest PT, my Inquisitor never flirted with Casandra, flirted with both Josie and Sera, and went for Josie right up until the duel (after dancing with her at the winter palace). At that point, instead of saying "I did it for love", my Inquisitor said she did it to help Josie's family. Then said it was a mistake which ended the relationship. However, Josie basically ends it, which sort of saves the Inquisitor from worrying about Leliana's threats in the aftermath (that never comes up again, of course, regardless of how you get to that point, which is too bad. I would have liked to have seen a few snarky comments from Leliana and Josie after ending the relationship.) At that point, my Inquisitor started romancing Sera. So I got pretty far with the Josie romance without ever shutting off the Sera romance.

 

Oh, funny thing, I managed to abruptly trigger the Cassandra rejection cut scene because of one flirtatious comment, which I only used because it seemed like the logical response at the time, and honestly, by choosing the "I'll stop if it makes you uncomfortable" and "I understand" responses, it made the whole cut scene 'feel better'. Instead of flirting the whole way through which garners Cassandra's constant approval right up until she shuts the Inquisitor down, (rejection out of nowhere) this felt like an immediate clearing of the air between two adults with 'no harm, no foul' as opposed to feeling like the Inquisitor had been led on. Story-wise, it just seemed to work better.

[Tidus]

In my current game Tidus is romancing Josie and Leliana  isn't to keen on the idea. Well, the good part she didn't say "I see your wading in Josie's swamp".

They do, and so do Sera and Blackwall.

Spoiler

(If the Inquisitor used to be in a relationship with Blackwall but is now in a relationship with Sera)

Blackwall: How are you two?
Sera: Me and [nickname]? Good, yeah?
Sera: I mean, I'm aching. She's a handful. Two of 'em.
Inquisitor: (laughs)
Sera: Too much? Too much.
Sera: Oh! Didn't you have something for her? Sorry...
Blackwall: Not really. Nothing serious.
Sera: It's not about you. Probably just parts. Like the beard and the... parts.
Blackwall: That is me.
Sera: Oh... right. Huh.

(If the Inquisitor is in a relationship with Sera)

Sera: So Bull, you two are flirty right?
Iron Bull: It's just friendly. I won't step in your business.
Sera: Frigging right you won't.
Iron Bull: Relax. I don't want you lodged somewhere.

(If the Inquisitor used to be in a relationship with Iron Bull but is now in a relationship with Sera)

Iron Bull: So, you and the Boss, huh?
Sera: Oh, that's right. You and she had... Sorry, right?
Iron Bull: (Chuckles) Hey, no hard feelings. Glad I loosened the lid for you.
Sera: Pffffffft! (laughs)
Inquisitor: That's enough, both of you!
Iron Bull: Fine, fine. Touchy.
Inquisitor: If you are going to gossip, don't do it when I'm here...
Sera: Oh, loosen up, you! See what I did? I did it too! (laughs)
Sera: I think she's turning purple.
Iron Bull: Not the first time.
