Lace Harding - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

Sigrun...

The first three should have been up to the player not forced on them. Remember the justified outrage with Jacob in ME3?
Only being dead is a different way BioWare would fuck over the players.
There are scenes that confirm it so not just rumors.
Possibly, but with how much BioWare fawns over her and wants everyone to feel the same way I doubt it.

Don't forget her sense of humour over our continual quest for elfroot. 

Also she is sensitive to other people's feelings and apologises if she says something out of place, e.g. to Lavellan in the Emerald Graves.

For me, it’s a combination of things;
1.) We’ve yet to have a dwarf love interest and I’m a huge dwarf fan, so it would be great to have one in DA4.
2.) She was cute; short, freckles, gingery hair, scarred face because she’s also a badass.
3.) She’s also a badass; she is tough and capable
4.) But she also seems kind and compassionate. I’d be interested in seeing how she reconciles those aspects.
5.) I’d like to learn more about her. She’s a Ferelden surface dwarf shepherd turned scoutmaster for the Inquisition. It’s an interesting story. And the LIs tend to get the lion’s share of backstory.

Is she the MOST interesting character from DA4? No way. If that were the criteria then I’d be asking for Vivienne because, love HER or hate her, no one can say that’s she’s not interesting. Harding’s a little vanilla but I don’t mind that.


ETA: oh, she’s bisexual, which is great because I typically don’t play any straight characters and only do one female playthrough so I typically only get to romance a female character if she’s into ladies. I’ve romanced Leliana, Isabela, & Vetra. And what do they all have in common (other than being awesome)? Into ladies.

Non-romanced Inquisitors aren’t forced into a relationship with her.
Because other players already romances Harding. Same reason why people couldn’t romance Leliana in DAI.
If they did that Harding wouldn’t be an option anyway. Meanwhile losing what makes BioWare unique.

Why is this a discussion again?

Whoops! Quite right. LI thing still stands -- I actually ship Sigrun and one of my Wardens, but I don't pretend it's canon.

Concerning that convo with Vivienne, I wonder if maybe the Inquisitor is supposed to be lying about having an actual date. That reply seemed a little off.

Why would they lie? What purpose does it serve?

Last I checked, BioWare has confirmed that you are wrong. Harding was never presented as a romance option. She didn’t unlock the achievement and she’s not in the keep. If someone took a single optional line and turned it into a full-blown romance, then that’s their own fault. And BioWare isn’t obligated to account for head canon.

Stop using fallacies please. Your slope is so slippery that’s it’s not functional. None of the examples that you mentioned are the same thing. Although I suspect you know that already, in which case, just stop.

Can someone explain how that video clip is meant to be showing the Scout Harding romance? So far as I can tell I had everyone of those conversations with her and I was in a relationship with Dorian or Cassandra at the time, so does that make me a cheater? No, just someone who had a good friendship with Lace.
