How well is it written? The only game novel I ever read was the Mass Effect one about Anderson and Saren. And while it was interesting it was horribly written. So that turned me off reading any of the others. Tevinter Nights isn't a novel but a collection of short stories written by different people on the team. Thus they can vary in tone and presentation. Neve's was narrated in the first person, as was one of the others, but most are in the third person and they give a feel for what we might encounter in game, both characters and environments. Horror of Hormack was genuinely creepy and would suggest they will be having some darker themes in game if they do proceed with that plot line. I would certainly recommend them over the comic series the Missing as a lead in to the game. Pretty much this. I thought it was written well enough, and enjoyed the stories.

After today's qna and them saying a Skeleton is romanceable, it has me thinking that through Emmrich's story line he could become a skeleton like the one we saw in the concept art in the game. Isn't he pursuing immortality? The head on his staff also looks quite similar to that concept art and potentially foreshadows what he can become based on your influence on him.

I really hope that the "skeleton romance" alluded to by BW isn't a romance with an actual skeleton, or that it's any of our companions. It's just a little too close to necrophilia for my comfort, even though I understand that a living, consenting skeleton probably wouldn't really count as necrophilia. Still. Ew.

Maybe that’s what they meant by “spicy” romances. Instead of, you know, straight porn. Which is what they've been trending towards since Andromeda. Which honestly, I don’t like either option. lol

I romanced Fane, and speaking from experience it turns out that boning a skeleton is quite complicated.

I have to admit I am *fascinated* by how drawn a lot of people are to this character.
I suppose this will be the first time you can romance an older gentleman in the series. Not my type at all but you go girls.

Not my type at all but you go girls. He's not pretty and looks like he doesn't even want to be there. I don't mind older, there are some hot silver foxes out there. So I'm puzzled as well? Granted he could be great, great VA, great dialogue/personality and go from no interest to would bang. I mean I thought Peter Capaldi in doctor Who was hot.

I haven't played Divinity Original Sin, so I had to look Fane up on YT. I have to admit I am *fascinated* by how drawn a lot of people are to this character. I suppose this will be the first time you can romance an older gentleman in the series. Not my type at all but you go girls. I do like mature characters, though I only started being interested when they described his romance as "intimate and sensual". Of course, any actual interest will hinge on their personalities and voices.

Not my type at all but you go girls. Going by the short stories he's part of ( Down Among the Dead Men in Tevinter Nights and The Flame Eternal on the Dragon Age website) he's enthusiastic, validating, shows concern for people's wellbeing, is a bit of a romantic, and enjoys learning new things. He's also a bit of a weird nerd because he's described as likely loving the fact there are uncategorized spirits and undead in the Grand Necropolis. Being described as a "gentleman who's intimate and sensual" is just icing, to be honest.

I think he's rather handsome and so far he's the most attractive of the bunch for me. I do have a thing for older intellectual guys, it's awesome that we can finally romance one. Technically we did have Solas, but he barely looks 40 lol

as well as Champions of the Just. If this includes the part where we meet Cole, I am very interested. Imho it’s the best character introduction in the game and WAY better than the time traveling nonsense.
