The Character Romance thread (Official)

mein gott. they're rly did this? I wanna see it.

So maybe the character is missing a leg, or both, and gets some biotic ones. Or yes, they live with a chronic illness. I hope that this happens at some point, it would be a great thing.

I'm pretty resigned to never seeing myself in a video game but since Bioware seems to actually be taking things into consideration I still have the slightest bit of hope. 

Probably. 

With them doing this, I guess the next step is having squadmates that are gay and lesbian. After that or around the same time is adding characters of other orientations on the crew and squad. Not that I'm expecting that this game, but maybe in the sequels. *crosses fingers for Lexi to get the Garrus and Tali treatment and become an ace/demi LI in MEA2*

I think post-game Ryder could also conceivably have a disability considering the trauma they both went through with the Archon, especially the twin who was in the coma...but whether or not they would implement that is another story altogether.

I'm so happy we are getting happy Jaal gifs/memes now haha. I mean, the salty ones were funny, but I am glad that the mood has changed for the happier xD

Then more people can be disappointed in the rest of the game

I'm still in favor of dual protagonist with 80% of new protagonist and 20% for old protagonist. That way, we'll have a new protagonist who can explore the Tevinter Imperium including, like, from the background of a slave that rises while we also have an old protagonist in the Inquisitor that we can play like, say, during a showdown with Solas thereby taking advantage of the personal connection between the two without needing to base the entire game around the Inquisitor. Given how the Inquisitor is perceived as in the Tevinter Imperium and how well-known their appearance would be, I don't think operating incognito would be possible and I think operating openly would be too limiting. I also think it'd be badass to have the Inquisitor make a return like showing up in some dire circumstances to help out the new protagonist. 

Don't mistake me, I don't think that'd exclude a disabled Inquisitor: I really hope we see the Inquisitor with a prosthetic and there won't be a case of them somehow regrowing their arm because of some magical shenanigans. Mages don't need to wield a staff to cast, we saw a crossbow prosthetic in one of the Trespasser slides and there exist accounts of prosthetic hands that allowed sword wielding. An example of the last would be Götz Von Berlichingen, a mercenary from the 16th century, who lost a hand during a battle but took on a replacement prosthetic that enabled him to wield a sword and continue to fight until the age of 64. 

The problem with that is that the Inquisitor sans a hand would require an entirely different set of combat animations than the main protagonist, assuming they stick with the same fighting methods they have been for the past several games.

Just giving the Inquisitor a prosthetic just sidesteps the issue entirely, and would leave him with no reason to be the protagonist again.  Something I doubt will happen.

Yes gawd!  We gonna do this!  We gonna party like it's 2017..cause it is!  Love wins!  Jaal baby!!!
