What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

ME seems to go by a template too. Everyone in ME1/ME2 comes to Shepard's cabin to have teh sex. Teh sex also just seems to swap out bodies rather than do anything especially unique. I didn't do a romance in ME3 because my space boyfriend died and I was in mourning, so no clue if they shook things up in 3.

I love that Cullen swept his tidy desk into the floor and kissed me with unbridled passion and we woke up in his room. 

I especially liked the romantic picnic in the woods with post sex talk with Cassandra.

Blackwall's barn scene is a bit weird considering we had to bypass the Quiz's room, but still- cool.

We Kiss Solas in the Fade, we kiss Solas on the Balcony, we kiss Solas by a Waterfall.

DA does romance very uniquely, the romances aren't just swapped out bodies.

I randomly did one because no one appealed to me. I'll confess to being in love with asari.  :P  But the new ME team made all the MEA asari into whiptail lizards so everyone looked alike except for PB who stood out like a priest in a bevy of sexy dancers. This is the worst thing they could have done because there is a moderately interesting NPC asari char but because she looks like a crewmate, I cannot reconcile that personality with the face. This is one of many negative points of MEA. I'm just happy to go back to the MET asari where the NPCs don't look like each other and have more vibrant and interesting personalities. 

I borrowed Phoray's pingpong romance style and just hit anyone who's possible because I don't care for the chars, I just want to see what happened. In the end, nothing much. I didn't even know they had a roll in the hay until I read the email. How's that for sex in MEA?  I read further up on this and it turned out there're only three explicit sexy scenes; all with crewmates. 

^ Actually, I'm afraid I didn't see your point about the DAI elves. They don't look alike to me. The only thing I have to complain about them is their physique.

Thank you - I think is just a lot of experience with the DA  character creators, since I play all three games a lot. When I'm hooked to a game, it's like reading a good book over and over again: I just can't stop. So I've made a lot of characters in my DA life  - if you are interested, I have put the sliders for Lyana (and Riya, who is based on her) on Nexus www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/1663/?

 

You should give the "deadly dwarf" run a try!  It's actually a very nice romance - ultimately sad - but still very nice and very serious.  I'm not totally done with the Blackwall romance yet, but it's still my favorite "female PC romancing male" romance.

The deadly dwarf-run it is then. I have avoided the flirting diaogues in Skyhold for now (apart from Josie, but this doesn't lock anything in, I just felt the urge to be nice to Josie, because she was so afraid of Corypheus), so I will talk with eggy in the fade and give it a go.
I think my favorite female/male romance might really be Iron Bull - he has Zevrans charme and easygoing nature but is also (again like Zevran) a very down to earth and helpful-when-you-need-it guy. DId I mention, that Zevran is my favorite romance, the one, all others are judged by?
Solas is charming in a Data - or  Odo -kind of way. And Odo (the constable from Deep Space Nine) is one of my favorite Star Trek characters, so this is a good thing. And you know, what made me change my mind about Solas? His outbreak towards Riya after she drank from the well - I adored him to pieces at that moment


Oh wow, now I'm a  great artist? I can't draw a sharp line, if my life would depend on it. But I admit, I like character creators, it's nice to be able to make the character, you had in your head. And I tried quite a few things out with it (I managed to make Tywin Lannister with the cc in SWTOR - the book version with the bald head and the whiskers, not the tv version, although Charles Dance is adorable. He was of course a Sith Lord, what else could Tywin Lannister possibly be in Star Wars?)

I have made a Shepard in ME1, but I have no idea how to take screenshots. Print isn't working and I found nothing in the manual about it. I actually made two female Shepards, a hispanic looking and a black one. I was so thrileld, that you finally could make black characters. DAO and DA2 were a bit lacking in that regard. So I made the darkest skin Shepard I could and liked her. Sadly, I didn't like the class (vanguard) and wanted to switch to the ME equivalent of mage/thief (don't know how it is called - the one with bionic and tech power) and made the hispanic woman, because I couldn't recreate my first Shep (Me needs a Black Emporium, I'll bet Xenon would be thrilled to call a Shepard or Ryder among his customers and traveling through time and space doesn't really seems to be a problem for that curious shop)

So basically, if someone could tell me how to take screenies in ME, that would be great. I like my two Sheps btw. I think, it's possible to make decent looking characters in that cc, but BW really has problems with hair. Plus I never finished a playthrough, because it's too military for my taste. Love Garrus though, he is my favorite companion there. That Asari chick is cool too, but the racist human (Ashley?) is not my cup of tea. I never take her with me anymore, although I should put her in a group with that Krogan, hopefully he'll smash her, when she get's nasty again about aliens.

I startetd the romance with Solas and choked on my tea during the 'fade tongue' conversation - very nice
