Re: New DAI romance confirmed!

I'm getting a little tired of those "you have to be this, that and that to be able to romance this fictional character". It takes the fun out of the game, in my opinion. I think a Fantasy RPG doesn't have to properly reflect the real world's political, racial and sexual facets. It's annoying and an inconvenience to the people who play the games. And I really don't know why they would do that, other than saving money by not having the voice actors record all romance lines for different genders.

Sa

Also, I'm not even incredibly invested in romance plots, but it was a fun little thing in the games. I just really dont understand why they would take such a big step backwards in terms of "equal opportunity romancing".

I can understand why people want to have as many options as possible and I get frustrated when I can not romance someone the way I want to (I really love you, Morrigan, I am just really bad at playing straight men), but I am actually happy they don't make the characters "playersexual"?

I think it is just that the fact that the characters have a sexuality that is not dependent on my wishes or decisions make them feel more real and fleshed out.

Yeah, me too. Just let me romance who I want to romance with my lady Qunari inquisitor, okay? I don't want to jump through hoops to make sure I have the right character to have this romance or that romance, honestly.

I like it, because it makes them feel more like real people. Not everyone is going to be bisexual and attracted to every sort of person IRL (not even just in terms of fantasy races but in terms of personalities, that sort of thing), so why should fictional characters? If anything I'd rather them make it a little harder to romance companions in terms of your PC's personality just being one that grates on them, or something.

It's already like that in Dragon Age, there were decisions your PC could make that would shut down a romance cold, if not cause your companion to abandon you entirely. More so in the second game than first, though, where it was easier to ply hostile companions with gifts if you were shady like that (kinda glad they removed that mechanic).
