Open to Polygamy?

I mean, if they can make it work, sure, but it seems like a lot of variables to consider and I think the current allocation of resources to romances vs other content is quite high. I'd rather scale it back to DA2 style. Four options, open to everyone.

no thank chu.

Only polygamy? (Multiple wives) What about polyandry? (Multiple husband's) or the less specfic polyamory ? (Multiple loves?)

The word for two or more wives is polygyny. The definition of polygamy (from Merriam Webster) is marriage in which a spouse of either sex may have more than one mate at the same time.

Is it pronounced like poly-ginny or poly-jai-knee?

No thank you. I already feel bad enough about love triangles. I hurt enough people with gun and blade in video games, no need to hurt anyone through relationships on top of that.

Oh they did? I didn't know about that. Hm, their suggestion makes it sound like we would be butting in another relationship. Not quite how I would want to get in on it.

Well, I may be misremembering. It may have been the two characters are in an established relationship and/or will get into one whether you romance them or not. Either way that cuts down on the flags to something closer to other romances.

I guess I am in the minority with relationships in the game and rather see less in the game and spend more time making them better. Since they started to add more and more relationships into their games to satisfy the requirements of the internet without going back to the outrage of "playersexual" nonsense of Dragon Age 2 it just seems to be "hold upper right and press X for relationship".

To the subject at hand I think it would just be a coding nightmare to get it to work properly within the game unless you want even less depth to them and they are more like Fallout which seem to be just another NPC, but you can have sexual relations with them.

If it were a game purely about romancing ppl and living your life then sure, I'll bang all the options. I'd want them to acknowledge it tho and not just act as if the others don't exist.

However DA is about so much more than romance, allocating any more time than is already put towards romance will just harm the main story in the long run. Just think, if they'd cut 1 or 2 romances from DAI they might actually have had the time to make a good ending.

Even if they didn't apply it to our romance options, it does raise an interesting point that among all the cultures that feature in Thedas, not one has polygamy as the norm. They have monogamous marriage and mistresses, much as was found in western Europe right up until the present, or no marriage at all and just an ordered breeding programme that I can't recall featuring anywhere but religious cults IRL, but none of the marriage arrangements that have featured as normal culture throughout history around the rest of the globe. May be we shall discover it is something that was common in ancient times among the human tribes but was conveniently "forgotten" by Chantry historians.

Every game, there is at least one romance that will break up with you based on their own beliefs. Alistair, Anders, and Sera. So not always that easy
