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

Since I usually play archer myself, probably dual-wielding. Then they could compare which is a better way to rogue. But then again, archer do got that upper body strength, good strong arms and solid back musc.... I mean, both, both are fine. But since we've had so many rogue that are archers, for the sake of difference dual-wield. Bet they can multitask better.

Cool! I love bows with passion being my weapon of choice if a rpg does not let me be a magical boy, last game I finished was DOS2 and I fulfilled my dream of being a archer witch   

I do prefer mages that can do some fights by themselves though, that's why I love the knight enchanter/arcane warrior class. 

Sometimes I find it a little annoying when a love interest is the same class as me XD 


edit. vertigomez  just answered that! I love being a different class, for me the perfect combination is me being a mage with the love interest being a tank, but I'm fine with other magic-based classes or rogue being the LI. I didnt change Fane's wizard starter class but I turned him into a 2H user too because I needed some muscle in my team (love that game's freedom to choose)

all my DA canon romances have been warrior, like I said, I have a type lol

*high five*
The day I start my sapphic DAO run will be the day I'll play other races and classes I think because I cant play without being me lol, thinking about a f!Brosca for Leliana and f!Adaar for Sera/Josephine (still undecided )

out all the rpgs I've played and being canon:

DAO Amell-Alistair (my Amell made ultimate sacrifice tt.tt)
DAA Warden-Commander Caron (Rogue-archer/ranger) headcanon with Anders (  )
DA2 Mage Hawke - Fenris
DAI Mage Trevelyan - Bull

if you count biotic as mage-like class
MET Soldier Shepard (because I like the idea of being a badass gay soldier without powers) - Kaidan
MEA Biotic Scott - Jaal

TES Skyrim Mage with bound sword - Vilkas (2H) + mod that gives him werewolf abilities 

DOS2: Archer Witch (Geomancy and polymorphism) - Fane (Wizard and 2H -ax as weapon-)

POE: Wizard - Tekehu (Druid)

Somehow it's balanced but I need to play Technomancer and I think Andrew belongs to the mage-like class, I dont know what I'm gonna do 


The only thing I hope it's that my favorite m/m romance is not a mage in DA4 lol although if he's plot-relevant I would like to do a reflected image of him, maybe he likes blood magic (rivalry needs to come back) and I would have to play the role of being a pain in his ass haha... i dunno hate how long we are going to wait til we get something r.r

Also since there's been some talk of qunari, I think a qunari rogue might be interesting. The female qunari at the bottom of this image looks like she's wearing some kind of sneaky assassin robes or possibly priest robes. 👀


Or a Fog Warrior/Fog Dancer. Doesn't have to be a romance but after hearing about them from Fenris and Bull I'm eager to get to know more about these Seheron freedom fighter natives.

I've got a bad habit of romancing the same class as my character - rogue with Zevran, mage with Anders, rogue with Isabela. Not so bad with a mage, but two rogues in the party usually isn't the best setup.

Female non human, literally any female non human.

Everyone wear tight suits in mass effect.

Stereotypes are not exactly a rare sight among other romance options. See Dorian for example. 

The weird obsession I see to stereotype in this thread aside, Jacob is without a doubt the most unoriginal character Bioware has written: lost black dude with an absent father, lol. I mean really?

Honestly with regard to romance, the best thing Bioware can do is NOT coddle the player. I never got to romance Ashley, Samara and Morrigan because I wasn't up to scratch. They had values. They had preferences. This idea that we'll get to fuck a prescribed number of people based on immutable characteristics is so counter to good story telling I don't even know where to begin. That can include characters being gay or straight. Not 'player sexual' which is an absolutely retarded idea. 

Out of curiosity, what stereotypes do you see each LI fitting?

It depends generally-but I do like have a team of 2 mages, 1 warrior, and 1 rogue generally when I play Dragon Age. So it helps if I romance a different class from my own-however two mages is easy enough to pull off since I like having 2 mages anyway. 

Ideally though I'd love to be a mage this next game with that gay kisa warrior keeping me my squishy body and heart safe! 

So I was thinking about race distribution. I don't think everything needs to "even out" or anything, but it's interesting to see it laid out like this, especially as there are so many non-human enthusiasts on the board as well as people who prefer to romance humans exclusively. (I only counted romances that have tiles in the Keep, so no Harding or Anora, Tamlen or Gorim, etc.)

M/F: 5 humans, 1 elf, 0 qunari, 0 dwarves
F/M: 5 humans, 3 elves, 1 qunari, 0 dwarves
M/M: 2 humans, 2 elves, 1 qunari, 0 dwarves
F/F: 3 humans, 2 elves, 0 qunari, 0 dwarves

And classes... (counting Josie as a rogue because she was a bard for a bit)

M/F: 1 warrior, 3 rogues, 2 mages
F/M: 5 warriors, 2 rogues, 2 mages
M/M: 2 warriors, 1 rogue, 2 mages
F/F: 0 warriors, 4 rogues, 1 mage

Ha! Yeah, given how the "weirdest" female LIs for straight guys for a long time were Tali and Liara - and quarians are described as having human hair, and 99% of Tali fanart just has her looking like a human with purple eyes, and asari are basically blue human women - I think there are just a loooot of guys out there who aren't comfortable veering far off "conventionally attractive". People even said Merrill looked like an alien or a twelve-year-old, so maybe that's why there are so many humans for straight guys..? That or the devs THINK that's the case. Maybe if they threw a qunari or dwarf in there they'd be pleasantly surprised. Harding and Dagna and Sigrun are all pretty popular, after all...

Surplus of F/F rogues and the boatload of warriors in the F/M category is definitely notable. 😅

I hope you get that dwarf warrior guy. 😁
