What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

Finished zTresspasser today and really enjoyed it. Reminded me how much I am looking forward to DA4.

@domi
What do you mean, more flirts? Am I missing flirt opportunities in ME?

I flirted with Thane once, he said interesting.
I flirted with Thane twice, he called me siha
I flirted with Thane thrice, he gave me his full back story and we held hands.
I flirted with Thane the 4th time, we made Post Save the World Vacation Plans.

I did a bit of Jacob and Garrus, they mirrored this.

And it's not that you can flirt differently at all o_O I think the way Shepherd came on to all three of those options, there was only one dialogue choice. And none of them came onto Shepherd, player had to initiate. Kelly sort of flirts with Shepherd even if they don't flirt back. Not like all three options of DAO or Anders and Isabella of DA2 and no one hits on you in DAI. Well... I guess Sera, if you're a dwarf/Qunari sort of comes close.

In DA2, I'm pretty sure you can flirt with nearly all of them during their recruitment mission; if I recall correctly, pretty much any significant conversation with each one has a flirt option, that can be carried over years. And when the romance happens with Fenris and Anders, it's not sudden- they've been reacting to your flirts for a while.

LOL I think it's funny. My playing ME2 makes Domi want to play Mass Effect. Domi playing Dragon Age made me want to play Dragon Age. We both have our favorites, quite obviously!

Just picked up my Dalish Elf Jaheira playthrough after i lost interest 6 months ago.
Just had Leliana kill some assassins & destroy a contract because she certainly wasn't wasting the time on the roundabout way Josephine wanted things resolved.
Listened disinterestly to Cass as she droned about the Chantry, not catching on that i'm a dalish elf who follows the Elven Pantheon not her maker.
Crafted a sword named after the old god of beauty.
Also went out wandering closing rifts & exploring some elven ruins.

Started Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. How we detest the game.
Elf savage? I'll show you elf savage you pompous pile of nug shite.

Sacrilege! The thrasher maw is not Shai-Hulud / Shaitan / The Great Maker. It's just a tube and a mouth with bad breath, a useless mindless worm that likes to road kill.

I did not like Mako in the first game, but honestly, it's such a small part of the Trilogy...

Just to to keep it OT.

Went to HW and ran into lots of RTs. Out of like 15 encounters, only one is venatori. I supposed the RTs ate the venatori.

I've been meaning to bring this up but keep forgetting. I have the Brand schematic even though I did not get all the five harlequin. This is due to a mod, I can't recall which one but it ended up in the schematic collection.

The stats is super poor for a T3 sword. Is this even right?  it deals elemental dmg. Has anyone used it?

Just recruited Iron Bull and Blackwall (I have no idea what my Isa will do with him when she'll discover the truth), escaped from the Hinterlands and on my way to the Therinfal Redoubt (my rogue Trevelyan is doing well with Vivienne, she wants to restore the circles).

Right. What I like in MET is that I can repeatedly flirt with the same lover over lots of options popping up in many characters' conversations only one time, and then you can't talk to them. I would have preferred multiple conversations on a romance track, like in SWTOR, and the earlier games (harking back to Baldur's Gate). Basically, I do not think there is enough conversations with the Player in DA2. It makes up for it with scenery banter as you do quests, but the lover do not offer you flirts during the interjections.

So, DA2 feels very much void of romance for most of the game, save for the two talks at the beginning of each chapter. It is an uneven distribution, and they are never initiated by your lover. And, yes, companion initiated lovetalks are retro, but I wish we still had them.

I actually prefer more scattered courtship chats in the game over one elaborate cinematic cutscenes with nudity and all that jazz.

I am coming from the older generation, and we used to add randomized flirt trees to our companions, which produced a bunch of different results every time you selected it, and they were appropriate for a romance stage. We also added random timer companion initiated flirts, where companion might just stop and glance pc's way and crack a smile or things of that nature.

Obviously, commercial romances cannot go this far, but I prefer being able to chat with the lover whenever and feel that the romance is active outside two talks at the beginning of each act.

My ideal is flirts scattered throughout the game. SWTOR does it well in Smuggler's story.

fylimar I played basically every race available in MET in MP. ME3MP does not lock names and backgrounds of the MP characters, so I RP them a little. Made me interested in Batarians, heh.

Well-played and consistent with a pro-Templar outlook?  But what of Cole, the rather odd spirit boy?
