If you're wondering why there are no romances in Awakening, here's the reason:

http://pc.ign.com/ar.../1072747p1.html


Ah..oh.. this is really fun... I would like to know now what's the thought of all those people who attacked people complaining about the lack of romances saying "bleh.. romances... if you want romances why don't you play a sim-game"?

Yes... Now tell me if you are happy to play a game where you have to rebuild a building, buy achievements, take political decisions and manage people... what is this?.. wait a moment.. ah yes... this is sim !!!!

Zev can come back only if they drop his cheesy accent. And then only if we can kill him.
What an annoying lil prat he was.... I so wanted to stab him when he said he would look luridly at me..

Hmmm it doesn't really bother me that the new PCs aren't romanceable, however I am having huge problems accepting that the old romances won't be returning in Awakening and that their fate for the future is (from what I gather) still very uncertain.

Why? Well because I'm sure a lot of people (like me) buy and enjoy Bioware games for their story, usually very well developed NPCs (that one either loves, hates or loves to hate) and yes romance (please note sadly none of the above is true for NWN - imo).
In my opinion all those give you a great ground to build a character and RP it the way you want (of course inside given boundaries) - however once your character is build and a big part of the story of his/her life complete I do not want GM (in this case Bioware) to interfere with my roleplaying in abrupt and out of character decisions (or in case of playing with the dead warden straightforward absurd).
So no I do not really see a good reason why my PC would leave Leliana, Zevran behind when they came with her to REBUILD Gray Wardens in the first place. Of course I could accept the reasoning behind leaving Alistair King behind but why Alistair Runnaway in the bushes?
Allright so you made a decision for us that our PC leaves their romance behind to protect him/her? Let's assume I could accept this rather abrupt interference with my RP but why is my PC not at least given a chance to speak with them before heading to his/her possible end? (correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've read on Awakening there won't even be cameos for Leliana and Zevran)

Oh and romance aside: Where the hell is Dog? You've better not done anything dodgy to my Teddy

And last - why not just learn from Throne of Bhaal (which was quite possibly the best expansion ever ceated)?

Well said. Seems all games come out strong then go down hill. They know what works then ignore it. Considering news reports show DA:O going triple platinum in sales, the budget should not be that big an issue.

Ouch!  You're brave, I've been burned too many times , I wait to \\read the reviews from players before I buy. DA:O was a christmas present, and I love it, and commend them for giving us a heads up (although pre order customers might not agree as they are finding out after ordering) I'm just going to wait and see. I watch old mopvies I love over and over, so replaying DA:O again and again is not a problem for me.

I've given up on mmo's for just this reason (they take out stuff everyone likes to save money and boost profits). They start out great then tank everytime. I recently quit lotro, it's really gone downhill fast.. shame too.

this game needs the romance option, no only kill and kills hordes of enemys,

for example in DA:O I always after a hard fight in which he had to allister at my side always gave him a kiss, and yes,both covered in blood there is nothing more romantic than that,

bioware so please think also in the girls who love this game.

yeah i agree women need something in the game to enjoy not just another hack n slash but bioware said the romances havent ended they are just on hold so that gives me a bit of hope for future releases i'm more irritated by the dead warden respawning back to life with no explanation hmmmmmm it kind of ruins the us ending

I question a number of things about Awakening, but it's Bioware. They know how crazy we get over romance. It's an essential part of life.

I trust them completely in terms of believing that this is not the end for romance in Bioware games. Heck, it's part of why I was so shocked that Awakening doesn't have any romances. But I'm 100% sure that this is a one-time deal for the expansion rather than a new policy for Bioware.

yes they said that sort of in the faq as long as the companions we romanced are still around and dont just get forgotton all is good just every expansion or sequal apart from 1 that i've played have been rubbish compared to the original game please bioware make the expansions as good as dao for the love of the maker as dao was awesome and it made me feel like i was my character

I'm not too broken up about romances not carrying over.  Especially since most of my characters ended the game single (i.e. dumped by Alistair during or after the Landsmeet).

New romance options would've been nice, but it's not a deal breaker for me.  Even though it will lead to a very frustrated PC.  She might not have time to form a full blown relationship, but damn, the woman has needs.

Just read the first post. What's huge ****ing deal with romance anyways? Okay, kick the sex out. It wasn't really needed. It looked terrible in the game anyways. But at least let us have the ability to romance and get close to other characters. Possible up to where you can 'make out' with a character. Jeeze. We're not trying to be perverse, but we do like RPGs.

My characters, will miss Lelianna. Of all the npc's to bring back, OGREN! Oh gawd he's annoying. Hopefully those playing DA:A can drop him at the pub and leave him there. Like I did with morrigan, she's annoying as well. As soon as I got Wynne, Morrigan was left at camp til the end.

Aneat update to DA:O would be to be able to attack Morrigan when she gets mad because you won't give her a hellspawn child. It would follow with the remark "I should have killed you long ago". Or let Flemeth reappear and they fight. I'd pop corn and root for Flemeth lol

With the removal of romance, you might as well drop the game to "T". >_> The blood isn't even that big of a deal. Next thing you know, they're replacing broodmother models with fluffy giant nugs because FOX News says bioware has games with obesity harassment.

If they dropped the romance because of Fox news, I'm done and out.
