Keeping the romantic aspect would have been nice but I will be happy just to have more content

If you romanced Alistair you'll see him again. Thats it.

No Morrigan as she's supposedly in Orlais.
No Zevran because his voice actor was too busy.
No Leliana because her voice actor was too expensive.

That's all I want.

I have come to grips with the fact that there will be no romance in DA:A. It makes sense---it's bad enough that the newlyweds will be separated, but I don't think it would be fair to have poor Ali boy worried that I'll be knocking boots with anyone while I'm away on business, he has enough stuff to worry him now that he is king....And another thing,....just think of the reunion when I get back.

I'm bummed that there won't be any romance options. I have to wonder if BioWare knuckled under to the pressure of a very specific set of nay-sayers when it came to the romance aspect of DA and ME. I really hope the relationships between the PC and NPCs are in some way evolved throughout the game. It really adds to the feeling that the player is in the game..it plays like a great book reads that way. I grow to care about my character and his/her interactions with the others. I really love DA and ME and am really hoping BioWare doesn't end up making the HUGE mistake of making less PC and NPC story line. The quests are great and the fighting is too but only when placed in context of a deep, meaningful story. After all, DA and ME are supposed to be RPG's. They are rated M for mature audiences so if a specific group of people find the game not to their liking they can avoid buying it for their kids.

I'm hoping that either in the beginning or end of Awakening you're able to get some good interactions with Alistair if you married him. I'm not that concerned about romance options, just want Alistair and my PC to act appropriately toward each other if they are engaged/married (not sure if wedding has indeed taken place yet in Awakening). I would love to either see them actually wed in Awakening or even more interesting, against all odds, my Queen PC expecting Ali's heir. Now that would be truly epic.

I highly doubt BioWare did this because of any sort of fan pressure.  They've been including romances in their games since BG2.  And every time, the same very small set of nay-sayers complains, and BioWare shrugs and goes, "Eh.  It's an RPG.  With, ya know, character development and stuff."

And it's perfectly possible to enjoy an RPG without romancing anyone.  In fact, due to my own pickiness in my romance interests, I do this more often than I would like.  Didn't romance anyone in KOTOR, and found the RPG experience just as fulfilling.  Same thing in ME1.  Same thing in vanilla BG2.  The game has to have good plot, strong characters, emotional punch, and immersion--romances certainly help, but they're not the only thing, and poorly implemented ones hurt more than they help.

Same. Maybe If Awakening sells a ton there'll be a bigger budget for the next one.

If it sells a ton then it's more likely they'll continue with the same 15-hour-no-romance-formula expansions.

Now, if Awakening flops and everyone complains about it... then.. maybe...

My guess is that romances are left... on purpose. I mean, for a, what, 10 hours expansion, having new romances, seems excessive. We need to know the folks first, and then we'll have romances with them in the next expansion.

That seems like an excessive amount of commas to be used in one sentence

The best idea i've heard in this type of topics! In ME2 you can romance ppl that you couldn't before (see Tali) but you could keep the other one as well. I'm guessing you can romance some of the Awakening char in a future sequel or expansion, or stay with Alistair/Anora/Zevran/Leliana/Morrigan etc.

I think perhaps finding out she's 'with-child' at the end of Awakening would be interesting. This way it allows time between expansions for her to be pregs and have the baby, so it doesn't interfere her with fighting Darkspawn, of course.

I think they should have a quest in another expansion on finding something that can get you preggers, maybe even lessen the deadliness of the taint (ala sacredashes mixed with deathroot & demonic ilchor). Then if you decide to take it, you can get preg, or decide not to, and keep fighting the darkspawn.

[Bratt1204]

I think Alistair be a wonderful Father. I could just see it now......

[rak72]

I can see him now, taking little Alli to the Wonders of Thedus, to get him a golum doll. Then playing sword fight with him.

Explaining to him/her that dragons are not actually cool. Because they eat people, and mommy and daddy had to fight a big nasty one.

I'd also like an epilogue to Awakenings where the HNF ends up pregnant.

Do you mean Rendon's son, Thomas? If he looks anything like daddy ---- as my character told his dad in the beginning of Origins---Don't hold your breath....no way no Howe.

Waaa...let's boycott Bioware to do this! It would be so sweet for Alistair and the HNF to be parents!

Fiona had a child with Maric when she was tainted. Why can't we? Oh and she did get rid of the taint as well.

The only issue is that then people would complain about not getting a choice about it.

To which my only response is "Well, you don't get much of a choice when it happens in real life either."

Sometimes romances just don't fit and feel forced. I have a feeling Awakenings is going to be one of those times. The mission takes priority, like it or not.

And anyway, I feel romances waste developer time and detract from the length of the game... which already being short as it is an expansion, I'm really glad they didn't waste their time on a bunch of NPC's who quite likely won't be around for the next expansion.

 I agree but would be nice if they could have your romance from the first game in it. Maybe at the end you are are reunited with them. Something as simple as they come to see how things went or you comeing back and they are there. It sounds simple to me but I am sure it is harder to do. That problay did not make sense feel free to ignore it.
