DA 4 Romances! New info for real this time!!! Zom-bangin'?

My people are amazing






those trying to trash-talking us can sod off tbh

Love that movie! She's a female werewolf from the movie Cursed (2005), that scene is hilarious lmao


talking about female werewolves whom are very rare, I love the ones in the movie Trick 'r Treat 

(slightly nsfw because well, werewolves being nekkid shifting and blood and skin falling apart lol)

Still angling for that government-mandated horse-husband to bring you breakfast in bed?

"Hope you like hay, honey!"

Lamia or medusa anyone?

Cute dragon girl? Chronormu, alias Chromie, World of Warcraft

By the way, WoW has nice dragon girls/guys.

If I wanted Chromie, I would have suggested popotoes...errr...I mean lalafel/gnomes.

...but then I would have to resist the urge to /pet them each time I saw one. Or just give in, because I already /pet most lalas I meet. 

Eh, I don't know, those are just dragons who use the appearance of mortals for convenience. My screenshot was of Au Ra, humanoids with horns, tail and scales...and not actually related to dragons

Of course, DA:O opened that particular door itself.

You're seriously moving goalposts here. First a werewolf companion is against some unwritten rules about werewolves in general, now it's against the lore, but mostly the one in Origins. You cited "painful transformation" as one of the werewolf staples, yet now you claim it's about the lore in Origins, where the transformation back to human wasn't accompanied by howls of agony or similar.

What we have seen is a singular group of werewolves, all cursed by a single elf.

World of Thedas, a canon lore source, says:
"Tales differ on these werewolves of human origin, with some claiming that their transformation into a bestial form happens temporarily, while still others say the transformation is irreversible."

Meaning that Zathrian's permanent curse isn't the only way to make werewolves (the rage demon possession part was about wolves turning into humanoid creatures). You don't need to retcon anything, because the situation was specific, and the lore, from the start, left a wide opening for other stories by being vague. And yes, by also including that tale. Entirely dismissing it isn't backed by anything, since DA likes to realise many of the legends it introduces (like how it was unthinkable that the stone was alive or how quirky dwarves were for saying you could fall into the sky, and then Descent happened).

Also "protagonist achieving something no one else could for years/centuries" is a staple for BW. I don't see how DA4's hero being the only one, who's able to help a werewolf find peace is any different from the warden waltzing in and ending a curse that lasted centuries (or Shep ending the Geth-Quarian war by brokering peace).

About DA being grim and realistic - we have a grandma, who is asked to sew, a golem, who is traumatised by pigeon crap, an assassin, who hits on you after failing to kill you, princess stabbity, a dropout turned king, a no-nonsense guard, who's hilariously terrible at flirting, a bull-man, whose friends make fun of his soft pecs, and so on. You can save 100% of your companions and protagonists. BSN's recent idea that DA (or Origins) is as bleak and gritty as GoT or the Witcher isn't based on facts. If anything, DA2, way more than DAO, was the one to lean on determinism and bad outcomes. But people ignore this, because Origins was more similar to BG2 or something.

Besides, the characters in the games keep telling you how homicidal and uncontrolled abominations are, and then you meet Anders, Wynne, Sigrid, and so on, and you come away with "it depends." Not all abominations are mass murderers, not all spirits become demons once crossing the Veil. Even Grandin's rage was only directed towards the people, who murdered his loverfriend, and not uncontrollable. DA doesn't want to paint things black or white, and the companions mirror that.

You also ignored the part, where I said the companion could lash out (or about young werewolves losing control). A looot of companions in DA have killed someone innocent. If the story calls for it, I don't see why they can't do the same for a werewolf companion. A++ if that companion is cornered and provoked by some templars, who think he's an apostate, and he turns them into a pile of meat.

If you don't like the idea, just say so, instead of trying to blame it on (past) lore or some personal definition of what a werewolf should be. And if your main point is that Origins was so cool and dark, and BW ruined it then a ) this is not the thread for it and b ) discussing what, according to you, is allowed in DA4 in accordance to a 10 year old game from a franchise that has greatly expanded since is neither here or there.

Besides, if Inquisition retconned so so much, like you claim it did, then I guess including werewolves in DA4 that are different from the Brecilian ones won't be a problem

Wynne. Alistair wanted her to patch up his socks at one point.


Meant Sigrid, of course, fixed.
