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

Sure. Almost none of it was made for me, anyway, so it's no skin off my back if most of it goes away. Literally the only exception would be in ME:A where, until Jaal was patched in, gay men ONLY had Reyes and Gil.

DA2's approach to romance content is vastly more preferable to me than any game before or since: four romance options, open to everyone. If I end up not liking any of them, then at least I know it's because of my personal taste, and not because BioWare deliberately chose to give me less than everyone else.

Straight guys could romance literally every female squadmate in ME:A.  Straight women could romance all but one of the male squadmates.  Lesbians could romance all but one of the female squadmates.  Gay guys couldn't romance a single squadmate until we raised hell and Jaal was patched months later.  

My choices shouldn't be to take "less content NPC romances" or have "nothing".  I would rather have discussions where devs can see/read them so that they do better next time.  So that the next time they are reviewing the romance options someone around the table says, "Well, shit, would you look at that?  Maybe we should revisit the distribution here so that it's not so skewed......"  

Preach!


I really don't get when people suggest if you don't like how something is done you should just burn everything to the ground. Room for improvement (lots of room...) so let's work on this-see what we can do with fewer tropes and more content. Let's see how things go if we spread the love around more evenly. There's no reason why any one set of fans should have the lion's share of content.

Ah the good old npc vs companion romance debate! My opinion is very clear about this, as much as I truly think npc romances can be meaningful I think that they should ditch the concept entirely and spend the resources in the companions. More chances to get a proper companion of our tastes and eliminates the threat of lgbtq characters being relegated in the hold *cough* ME team*cough*. There is something magical about taking your lover with you even if there is no romance content at all!

like imagine you are playing the urban fantasy rpg that WE ALL WANT TO BECOME  A REALITY (right?!), and you say to your werewolf boo honey lets go slay some vamps, and you go to slay some vamps with your lover, PRECIOUS, he's not waiting in your house cooking dinner (which could be a really sweet scene like Kaidan's ) he wants to go with you, he protects you, you protect him, all is love while you have vamp guts (or dust) in your hair. So so romantic 

Just avoid that game entirely, tbh.

It is a single player title with microtransactions in it's single player campaign 

Why?

Gil was not a simple less content NPC romance. I really wanted to like his romance, it's sweet, like Gil's personality, but with Jill's story and the whole "you're the part of the problem" and the method like the game treated this baby-issues, was an insult.

I adore the base game, why did they have to crap on that? I can't even delete the DLC. If they're so intent on pushing a canon, why not patch Alexios out of the game as misthios?

Malákas!

It is. No matter what choice you pick you still end up with them and having a child unlocking the ‘Growing Up’ achievement.

The DLC even pretends you have a choice, and then goes back to that forced romance. It's even more cruel.
