Forgive the rant... mods feel free to move or delete if this is the wrong place. Just must vent.
...I think my Player Characters just have a terrible history of falling head over heals for the worst possible person at the worst possible moment.

My Amell had a flippant and very ill-advised crush on Jowen. They'd joined the circle at the same time, he was the first friend she ever made, and she just assumed that they'd end up a couple eventually.  She...was incorrect in this assumption.

Then she loved Alistair with gusto, and didn't know it was even possible to be so happy... but then she spared Loghain, believing in second chances, and he declared himself Anora's betrothed and never even said goodbye to her.

 

Crushed, she fell in with Liliana, the one person who always lifted her spirits. And then died fighting the arch-demon, turning that gentle chantry sister into a bloody-minded operator. Well done, Amell. Saddest thing? Her last thoughts were for Alistair... then as she was dying, she saw Liliana's horrified face and thought 'damn, I couldn't even get THAT right.' They made a statue of her, and she died thinking of herself as a f***-up.

And Hawke...well Hawke loved Anders, and he killed hundreds of people. The stupid bloody bastard. She stuck a knife in him. She'd do it all over again too. Like, if he suddenly there, and walking right towards her going "hello," she'd go, "STAB!" Well, no. She'd judo-throw him into bed first, and stab him after that. Stupid as****e. She misses him. Every day.

.... And my Inquisitor... well, she's an elven mage with a lot of curiosity about magic and spirits and the world in general. See if you can guess what happened to her! Really! You will never guess! ... Yep!... it did not end well! Surprised??

...Yeah. MAYBE she'll be ok, given time...and therapy. Do they have therapy in Thedas? Can they invent it just for her? Or psychiatric medication? Ben and Jerry's? Maybe she'll just drink herself into oblivion. That's safe, because drunk texting doesn't exist. It's worth a shot, right? No, then she'll pass out and she'll sleep, and she'll dream, and she never wants to think about dreaming ever again, or the Fade, or the gods, or... crap. FML.

.... I don't even plan for it to go this way. It just seems to happen. I don't know what this means for me as a player or a person but I guess it's a good thing I'm single. Love is distressing.

Just had to vent. Thanks.

*Points and laughs*

 

I've been pretty lucky in love with Leliana, Merrill and Josephine. No one's abandoned me yet.

 

Obviously you love the drama.

[PapaCharlie9]

Aww,w I thought this was gonna have video. I'd subscribe to the DA: FML channel in a heartbeat.

[DarkAmaranth1966]

See, you're the sort that chooses greater good over love/lovers so, yeah that's what happens. Me I choose Love over all else so, My Warden is still with Alistair, My Hawke is still with Fenris and, My Inquistors have never managed to romance Solas, never made it as far as HTLA, he just seems uninterested to the point that it kills the game for me, so I don't romance him.

[DreamerM]

Consisting of what? Dramatic readings of the drunk texts my characters would send to their exes at 3am...if, you know, texting existed?

Probably true. It was especially true of my Warden. She was constantly putting everyone else's happiness and desires ahead of her own. She even made Behlen king after supporting Harrowmont, just because a progressive reformer is exactly what was best for the future.

She also thought Cullen was a huge creeper. He made her very uncomfortable. She had very bad taste...
 

[FloraTheElf]

Yeah my characters have never had a great time of love, either. I always imagine my canon GW dying alone and unloved after Alistair breaks up with her when she makes him king (only after he asks her to when Anora betrays them, then asks my poor hero why she made him King then gives her the boot :'( ) However for better gaming experiences I leave them together in the service of the GW since Alistair in the fade is worth it. ill still love him lol

[Andraste_Reborn]

At least my 'canon' Warden got some happiness with Alistair - before disappearing off to look for the cure, anyway. She was a Cousland, so no trouble marrying her love. (Well, not after she kept them both alive by convincing him to bone Morrigan, but that was a small price to pay.)

 

Since then, though, the love lives of the characters in that world state have been nothing but angst and woe. Hawke romanced Sebastian and refused to kill Anders, so, yeah, that did not work out for the best. Then Cadash romanced Blackwall, which might have been OK in the end ... only she sent him to the Wardens. Now all she's got is a feather and a badge.

[Havyn25]

Aww, that would suck.

 

My Warden is still with Zevran, Hawke is still with Fenris (I tried to leave Hawke in the Fade once, but I had to back to an earlier save and redo it. Sorry, Alistair, Stroud, Loghain) and my Inquisitor is still very much with Dorian.

 

I just wish there had been an option for a Dorian wedding, or even just asking him. I got so excited when Cassandra had that talk with you about marriage and your character could say he'd thought about it. And I was like "Yes, he can ask Dorian to marry him!" And then the crushing disappointment when you find out he couldn't. Still not as disappointing as what the Solasmancer got though. Sorry, OP.

 

Here's hoping you have better luck with romance in DA4.

[FloraTheElf]

Oh, I have quite a bit of Solas angst, too. So much so that my own boyfriend has, word for word, told me I need to stop and give up already and do another Cullen play through.. lol!

Funny tid bit: My boyfriend's LI in Inquisition is Sera, and this was one of our last conversations about the game:

The boyfriend: "I'm not getting any Sera romance options."
Me: jokingly, "Thats because she doesn't like you."
The boyfriend: without missing a beat , "Well apparently Sera likes me more than Solas likes you."

I really think he cooked that one up and was waiting for the perfect time to use it. I didn't know whether to laugh or hit him

Pics or it didn't happen.

That would be a great start.

Thought of this:

[Dai Grepher]

Anora. Sebastian. Cassandra.

You just need wiser player characters.

Excelent work.

I got to do another DA tragedy run now.

[Captain Wiseass]

I did a tragedy run with one of my Hawkes. The ogre got Carver. Took Bethany to the Deep Roads to keep her safe; she caught the taint and died. Put a sword through Gascard du Puis and figured that was it for the serial killer while Quentin was out buying flowers for Liandra. Sought comfort in Anders's arms, watched the Chantry and the Divine go up in flames and ended up murdering the man he loved. Sided with the templars in his rage, and Meredith immediately turned on him once Orsino was dead. Became Viscount, almost immediately got run out of town.

 

And now he's working with this Grey Warden to investigate why all the other Wardens have gone missing...
