Welp I made a gay ginger dwarf in DOSII in honor of @daveliam to romance the dwarf pirate and I'm dyin', it's so beautiful 😭 Stocky beard daddy we've all been waiting for. Where is Andraste_Reborn ...pls tell me my dwarf stans know about this and I'm the one who's been in the dark. Next I'm gonna be a lizardwoman from the dawn of time and go after the Inquisitor that elf voiced by Alix Wilton Regan. Or maybe the possessed bard. Or the salty skeleton. DECISIONS.

I am sorry that I did not do enough to inform you and all the people in this thread of the joys of romancing pirate dwarves, lizard princes and skeletons!
(I admit I haven't finished Beast's romance myself yet, but that's because I need the PERFECT DWARF to romance him with and I'm not sure what build I'm going to use for them.)

Not your fault I don't pay attention to games outside my very narrow Bioware sphere. 😂 I rolled a plain ol' rogue for him 'cause I'm basic. 👌 Also so I can backstab all threats to the thicc beard daddy.

Imagine if Harding returns just to be unromanceable. Or even a non-entity as a character.
(Not saying it'll happen but it'd be kind of funny considering how much build-up she's gotten)

I think Bioware has traditionally been by far the best at creating richly developed characters and romances that genuinely add depth to the narrative. DA2 (Anders) is my favorite romance in a game, but I actually find the romances in Fallout 4 to be comparable to average for Bioware. I love how much variety is available. I know these are both controversial opinions, but I think Bethesda has an advantage by not having varied sexualities and by not making cut scenes for romances. Bioware is so limited in comparison in how many base options they'll have resources for and, imo, the reason doesn't make the characters any deeper. Good dialog and voice acting sells a romance arc, but I couldn't care less about seeing a pixel butt, personally. YES, THIS ALL I care are dialogues, so screw pixel butts I romanced MacCready and I remember visiting this forum right after final romance dialogue to complain that I've never had anything like this in any BioWare game with no all-bi cast. Romance felt just... normal. Natural and sweet. Those few lines that character said made a bigger impact for me than carefully crafted cutscenes, for, let's say- Dorian... who was annoying brat who never dared to say something like that F4 character did, but instead, he always left me puzzled after each conversation making me unsure if he ever fell something for my Inquisitior or not. I remember screaming to myself "COME ON" after every cutscene with him. (Remember, I'm more of a DA person, not ME, so I only care about DA romance situation.) Never even tried IB or Zevran romance. So fucking tired of promiscuous bi characters. Bioware is trying to be so open and lgbt-friendly, but sometimes I just don't feel it. Especially after "sexuality need to fit character's personality" statement. But uhh... was that statement even real? Who said that? Maybe I'm mixing something up? DA romances still sucks to me tho Anyway, I HIGHLY encourage to spam Patrick Weekes and other writers like, everyday. I believe our twitter spam made ME:A Jaal bi, so... LET'S FIGHT Remember that Solas, Cullen and Thane were supposed to be bi. There will probably be the same situation in DA4. I don't want to feel this huuuuuge anticipation and then disappointment yet again.

I have a romance related question for you guys. How do you think Bioware compares to other games with romances? What do you think Bioware does the best (if anything) and what influence do you think they could take from other games?, I like the romance-specific cutscenes (and quests) because that’s pretty rare. I think where Bioware really shines is that the romance feels fully integrated into the story and isn’t just a tacked-on extra, and romance cutscenes are just one aspect of that. Other characters comment on it, there’s ambient dialogue about it and other specific dialogue options, non-romance cutscenes can change depending on it. Like, for example: approval at Well of Sorrows changes based on romance, and if your LI is there with you and you drink from the well they will be fussing over you when you wake up. A smaller example is how some LIs will give you a nickname which they’ll call you by outside of romance-specific dialogues. Oh shit, I don't like BW romances because they're unfair for gays, but yeah, they're the best in other way for me- those romances are integrated with the world. I love banter where characters talk about your relationships, little changes in other characters dialogue or in cutscenes. To be honest, This stuff made me happier than romance itself. Ohh I remember Dorian screaming "Amatus, are you alright?" after random enemy encounter. Same stuff was in DA2 if I'm remember correctly. I luved it.

Isn't Harding already made official in Trespasser if she's the only person you flirted with? Vivienne makes it sound like the two of you are in a relationship-which by the rules they set up means she off the list of options. Unless they are going to throw that rule out the window...in that case bring Alistair back as bisexual as fuck!

Spoilers spoilers spoilers for Beast's romance arc, haha whoops. Beast: I always preferred a starlit beach, m'self. You prob'ly figured ol' Beast here to be a, well, a beast about... this. But I've not had much time for tenderness these last few years.
*He twists his whiskers into knots as he speaks, making a mess of his glorious beard.*
Player: *Smile at him and say you know him to be more than a brute. He contains multitudes.*
Beast: Well, I don't know about multitudes. I jus... I jus' want good things for people, you know? I don't see much good anymore. Some, though. Mostly in... in you. Didn't always seem right. I watched you back in Fort Joy, 'n' felt that pull. But I shook it off. I'm a free man, dammit. Can't let some stud get the best of me. But once we took to the sea together... I couldn't keep my mind off ya. I ain't as much a free man as I thought, it turns out. Anyway, here I am, yammerin' like a newborn otter pup. As prone as I am to talkin', I don't always have much interestin' to say.
Player: *Shake your head and tell him you could never tire of his stories.*
Beast: A sweet thing to say, but I know the truth. It's jus' - jus' that I didn't always feel anyone was ever listenin'.
(...)
Beast: I just get all jumpy around you sometimes, like if I don't keep my lips busy with talkin', they'll get busy with kissin'.
AND HE CALLS YOU LAD AND GAZES INTO YOUR EYES AND BLUSHES A LOT AND ATTEMPTS A STRIPTEASE, BLESS HIM. Meanwhile, me:

Vivienne makes it sound that way, but the Inquisitor's response is really weird and there's no actual romance tile in the Keep, meaning as of now it's not recognized.

Welp I just found out you can romance a dwarf pirate prince, a lizardman, a skeleton, a possessed bard and others in Divinity: Original Sin II. Thanks for namedropping that one Artemis - there goes my weekend. Weekend? It took me three weeks (~130 hours) to finish D:OS2. I loved every minute of it, mind you, but if I needed definite proof that I have no life, that is it. Out of curiosity, what party did you stick with?

I suggest against taking Red Prince with you (and strongly against romancing him). He will spend half of the game day dreaming about, lusting over, and chasing to have sex with a particular woman. Take the dwarf instead.

I guess there goes my day tomorrow. LOL. It's amazingly fun! You know how generally I suffer through games for the romance? (or maybe not) Well anyway, the romances are great, but honestly, the game itself is just so much fun that I would play a sequel even if it didn't have romance. I haven't enjoyed combat that much ever really. It's just a joy to find a strategy that just crushes a boss, and finding ways to strategize out of a tough situation. My tip to anyone who plays that game though-grab spread your wings on as many characters as you can. Positioning in a battle is honestly the most important aspect of combat.
