I've never wanted to romance this many of my BioWare companions before; I genuinely love the majority of them and think this is one of BioWare's strongest casts.


Same! (Actually, I wanted to romance EVERYONE in DAA but that wasn't an option.) DA:O had the worst romances of the series, imo. Not terrible, but none of the arcs were as good as DA:I. And in DA2 every romance option was a horrible selfish asshole, which was cool in its way but damn. In DA:I at least SOME of the romances are with generally decent people (Dorian, Bull, Cass, Josie, Cullen, Harding) even if the remainder were DA2 level 'But I am a monster!' fair.

I would've romanced the hell out of Sigrun, Nate and Awakening!Anders. Maybe Velanna, too. (Never Oghren though. Sorry, Oghren.)

Alistair is still my favorite and I really loved Zevran and Leliana's romances so I don't necessarily agree with your opinions on Origins, but I do think that DA2 did a pretty good job with the romances themselves. (Even though the characters...well, despite liking most of them I only bothered with Anders and Fenris and enjoyed those, but I think most everyone in DA2 is crazy in some way; they aren't perfect, and I don't even think they need to be.)

Most of the romances in DA:I aren't quite so...dramatic though, and for that I'm glad. If sweetness and humor is your thing, then there's a lot to go around. The characters feel well developed too, but overall Inquisition isn't as depressing as DA2.

OP : That's just what I disliked about the romances in DA:I - everything was so fluffy and nice, it bored me half to tears. Bull's romance especially - it all sounded like someone took the most vanilla bdsm 101 handbook and built the romance based on it without checking if all those explanations actually fit the game world's atmosphere (which I personally think they didn't).

Well, that would explain it. I liked the romances this time around and thought they were a nice change of pace. There is some 'not fluffy and nice' stuff, but even most of that tends to allow for a happy ending. (You don't always have to take the happy ending, but it is mostly optional.)

We just have very different tastes; I loveeeeeeed Bull's romance and thought it was sweet, hot and fun. I've been wanting BioWare to include a BDSM romance in one of their games for a long time and thought it was well executed. Vanilla...well, idk, maybe to some, but regardless I dug the hell out of it.

and yet they still called the iron bull a rapist and an abuser.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what I don't get. I mean, it doesn't get any more safe, sane and consensual than the way the Bull romance is written. How can they rip shit out of context so much that they actually believe this "he's a rapist" makes sense to them?
