Incest - knowing or unknowing - has
promise but would be too controversial; the same with abusive
relationships.  Relationships with people who turn out to be using you
have good story potential but would make people go insane with anger -
relationships with unlikely figures, such as very ugly individuals who
are nonetheless incredibly interesting characters, might be an
interesting way to go, but you'll likely find the people who appreciate
them in the minority.

Personally I think what they need to do is
pursue the relationships beyond the scope of the first game ... there
you meet the person, get to know them, fall in love, deal with their
hangups and decide to live happily ever after ... but that isn't the
way it works long term.  I'd like to see you come back to those
relationships, deal with more hangups, family dramas, deep dark
secrets, the question about children, and a number of other questions
appropriate to both fantasy and real life long term relationships ...
leave the Honeymoon period behind and have them deal with tougher
issues ... and see if they come out of it on top.

And I think a
lot of other players would enjoy the same thing.  This would overcome
the problem of predictable romance plots, give people the chance to
continue getting to know their beloved npc, and offer new and
interesting story material with some real room for consequence.

Actually, you may be more right than you know about the incest thing. In The Stolen Throne it's hinted that Morrigan and Alistair might be related. Haven't read the book but have heard the same thing numerous times from posters here.

MadCat, I agree with you 100%. BioWare and ME2 have been BioWare's least formulaic, and so far, best games. I was so glad that the Morrigan romance ended the way it did - it was completely appropriate and not at all cliched. Using commonly established tropes isn't a bad thing of course, but using the same one every single game becomes stale, as each subsequent attempt at doing the same thing tends to become less and less inspired.

My favourite RPG ever is probably Torment. It basically was a conscious attempt to avoid every single RPG cliche out there, and it was all the better for it. I for one am glad BioWare's recent games are a bit different. Honestly, I'd groan if I had to sit through another batch of companions like the ones in KOTOR or Jade Empire.

So the child I gave Morrigan by Alistair may even be more messed up. Great. Sure loving that decision.

What?! You mean I have to go find secks and romance in real life?? Bioware how could you?? (On a side note, this should make my husband happy.)

Yeah right. In Awakening, you'll receive a letter from Alistair while you're in Vigil's Keep and then start swooning all over again. You'll come crawling back... they always come crawling back.

Guilty as charged.  *shame*

They only said there was no sex/Romance for you.

Oghren on the other hand....

Hence the sex/nudity advisory. You get to watch Oghren have sex with talking darkspawn. In their underwear.

Bah Oghren likes them big, he'd be looking for a Broodmother. I wonder if they'd put underwear on a Broodmother if a sex scene involved one.

[Skadi_the_Evil_Elf]

Given the broodmother's unique "bustline" they would have to be pretty innovative with the bra. Though in game, she's wearing nothing, and you see all sorts of nipple. But of course, if you're going to have sex with her, then they have to be covered. It's Ferelden law. Bare boobs while shagging is a criminal offense. Punishable by a fine of 10,000 Soverigns and disapproval from Morrigan not exceeding -20.

the esrb rated sexual content in Awakening.And Destuctoid says no sex and romances in Awakening.
maybe awakening has romances or maybe not.come on bioware please give us an update

DAO is taged 18+ they won't under rate it just for the expansion imo, it will be less attractive :innocent:

[supersims796]

Yeah...I can do with less sex in Bioware games. I understand romance - I couldn't care less, but I can see why it is important for others. But sex...that's something I can't understand arguing FOR in a video game.





Jeex, you could tell my elf was a virgin. That was the most awkard thing I have evar seen. That made me swear off sex for the next 4 minutes, including ******. Now, I skip the thing altogether. I wish the graphics at least looked plausable for the 360, it made a bad sex scene worse.

[Uidori]

The romancing option is one of the main reasons to keep playing through with the same character and choosing different branches and tweak the ending so I will miss it. It's a little strange that the assumption is you must be lonely with no SO if you enjoy the romance of the game. That's like saying you don't go to romance movies if you're taken.

[ThingsThatGoBoom]

It's not like it's a damn requirement, but romance just adds some more interest for the characters and makes the characters more realistic, as in real life you would be able to romance certian ones.

I agree completely, honestly the sex scenes in this game have nothing at all to do with why I really like the romance aspect. So long as they add romance into the next expansion after Awakenings or DA 2 (whichever comes first), I'll forgive Bioware for not adding it in this one. If not though... then I probably won't be buying any further games, lol.

I liked the sex, I like being treated like an adult in the games I play. Why does being an adult rated game usually only involve big guns and violence and not sex? But I guess I can get by without it.



But romance... that should be a Bioware requirement, it's what has always set them beautifully apart from other gaming companies.

[D LOW]

I forgive Bioware for not having romancing options in Awakenings as long as their are some clever references to the romance choices and outcomes character experienced in Origins... such as people you meet claiming to have seen a sexy looking witchy brunette with child passed thru town a few weeks ago or a love letter from King Alistair delivered to you by a messenger elf... the point being that this is a warriors tale (or mage, rougue, etc.) and sometime a warrior has to put his/her feelings and love interests to the side to go kick some ass. Of course, there will be moments between battles and high adventure to think of the loved ones and I think Bioware can work those into Awakenings in order to setup future DLC or maybe to bridge the gap to DA2. Absense makes the heart grow fonder!!!

[Rohx]

i like romances in DA:O, im kinda disapointed that we don't have any on, DA:A.



i makes some characters more interesting.



to bad i wanted to romance all 3 of the characters they have shown

[shedevil3001]

whilst the sex scenes were tasteful and not over the top the romance was probably the best part of the game play as it allowed you to bond with your companions and get quite attatched to them which made the game spectacular in my opinion i dont understand why the romance options were taken out but i guess it wont put me off playing awakening even if its not as good as the dao base game i can only hope that dao 2 or an expansion will bring back our companions and the romance choices we made fingers crossed but on a good note at least bioware are trying to sort a patch out to resolve the dlc issue yeah

[tacopacabana]

maybe its cuz im french but, with romance... comes sex. no? and with romance ... comes envy, lust, character depth, jealousy, passion, hate, awkwardness, power, weakness. Romance is an primordial part of all our real lives ... so its only logical that it should be in this dark fantasy.



if they take away sex (which they won't) then they should also discontinue the romances. dont do something halfway. and if some people don't like the fact of nudity/sex whatever, then skip the scene. everyones happy!

[Alandros]

Some of my characters are going to get quite sexually frustrated, I guess they'll just have to take it out on the Darkspawn.

[Suilebhain]

For those tired of the Underwear, there are some very good mods that take care of that...



As far as Oghren being considered the "one most likely to succeed", our old favorite and all that rot, there is an axiom that an original may be great, well-rounded, artistic, but the sequel will be a satire on the first, and the next sequel a farce. Perhaps they just went straight to farce. Hey, I liked Oggy, but as the comic-relief, not as a main character. It's like having Lou Costello as one of the Magnificent Seven.



No romance just means that they can focus on blood and guts, the stuff that keeps the kiddies coming back for more.

[Jyces]

I was most definitely disappointed when I read that with the new expansion, you cannot engage in romance with your party members (as you could in Dragon Age: Origins). I think building a relationship with your party members was one of the best features of the game...one of which made it unique from the rest of the games out there. In many ways, I think it gave your character more personality. It was almost as if you took in real life characteristics of yourself, and transferred them into your game character? I don't know. As for the sex part...I don't love it, nor do I hate it? I guess you could say I am neutral about that. I just really enjoyed being able to choose who I wanted to build a relationship with. I don't fully understand why they decided to take this feature of out the expansion. The reason they claim that romance is not available in the new expansion is because "The story is focused more on the mission at hand and the new threat to Ferelden" Correct me if I am wrong but for the most part, wasn't Dragon Age: Origins focused on saving Ferelden by defeating the Darkspawn and killing the Archdemon? All I am saying is that Ferelden being in danger really is nothing new to us players and I don’t believe that the romance aspect of the game ever took away from the main purpose/point of the game.
