midnight tea Rather than gender/race restrictions, I wish it would be Choice Restrictions. Like, giving Fenris back into Slavery should have caused anyone dating you in DA2 to break up with you. Anders breaks up with you if you deal with Torpor. Leliana would attack you if you spoiled the Ashes. Sera breaking up with you if you're Devout Dalish-- break ups over personality and actions, rather than not dating you at all because you're too tall/short and have horns. I kinda think that someone who Allies the Templars shouldn't be able to start a relationship with Solas or Dorian. I know the approval system makes it more difficult to romance these two, but the system is too easily controlled. And I don't want it based on approval anyway. There should be deal breakers for all the LIs irregardless of approval with them? Would be cool.

There should be deal breakers for all the LIs irregardless of approval with them? Would be cool. Only as long as there are supporting options to rekindle the romance via the player-initiated options, or with 1,367 gifts like in SWTOR. The thing is, no matter how much they try to make it obvious that the LI will stop romancing you should you do this or that, and why BioWARE thinks it is important, you could never make it clear enough. Why does Corso Riggs lose interest in the female PC if she does not tell him he's pretty when he is tipsy? It's really impossible to get those hard cut offs well without taking the initiative away from the player. And that can ruin a play-through in a hurry. To be honest, for me the feelings/desires of a real human being, the player, should always override the feelings/desires of the bunch of pixels. You cannot approach the game with a thought that a player should always be able to get it right on the next play-through. That was Okay in 1998, but expecting your player replay the game multiple times in 2017 is self-indulgent of a developer. IMO they need to focus on making the romances that make it possible to run the game only once, without being spoiled before-hand and be able to get to know and chose a romantic interest you like without being told "better luck next time, Charlie" a lot.

Preferences are preferences. And don't get me wrong - I'm not saying this in favor of specific gender or race restrictions. But IRL it'd be almost impossible for me to date someone with a bushy beard or too-bulky physique, for example - it's a turnoff. Now... it IS possible that eventually all the other things I appreciate would overpower the thing I don't like, but it'd be a tall order. ....Actually, that'd be sort of interesting, if hilarious You pick a beard in CC? Sorry, but no matter how heroic or romantic, this NPC will simply NOT romance you until you shave that thing! Unlock additional quest to find the barber!

@domi I think in all the choices I mentioned, it's pretty obvious and not obtuse. Giving someone back into slavery is repugnant across the board. Isabella, Merril, Fenris, Anders-- All against slavery pretty clearly before this point. Anders will tell you on multiple occasions that he doesn't like Merril dealing with demons. He doesn't think you should deal with the demon in the Deep Roads. And in the Fade, Justice is just as against it and ATTACKS YOU for talking to Torpor. If you go ahead and deal with Torpor, you should not even pretend to claim you've been blind sided with that break up. It would be absurd. Leliana, the devout andrastian, tells you not to defile the ashes. I even think she warns you she would attack you if you did. Not a shocker that she does or that you have to defend yourself, regardless of the undying love she's declared to you beforehand. Sera breaking up with you wasa bit unexpected. She's shared that she's disliked elfiness, but I don't think she'd made is so clear as to make sure you know there is a line you can cross than can make her think you're too awful to date. The information is there, but it's too subtle. What I'm suggesting is more the obvious stuff from the first three examples, not so much the latter. OR they could make the disapproval gains higher. It's too easy to be everyone's friend in DAI. In both DAO and DA2, I felt like I earned the friendship. In DAI, my first PT, the only two who weren't my best friend ever was Sera and Vivienne. And when it came to Viv, the problem there was I couldn't find her.

If Cassandra's request to be woo'ed had also involved a muttered comment about beards being too beardy... Yennifer in TW3 certainly had facial AND clothing requirements for the Skellige Ball! It can be done, because it has been done! Although, I really didn't like Yenn insulting me when I'd gotten all dressed up.

IMO they need to focus on making the romances that make it possible to run the game only once, without being spoiled before-hand and be able to get to know and chose a romantic interest you like without being told "better luck next time, Charlie" a lot. But... replayability has always been at the heart of how these games were designed, so asking them to remove that aspect is like asking them to get rid of romances It's a staple, not an old-school hindrance. I don't know if it is just me, but the charm of Bioware game IS having to replay it and see how things would play out differently, or piece the big picture together the more I delve into the content. Also - I always thought that the big draw of BW and similar games is that the bunch of pixels doesn't just act like a bunch of pixels... Like: this is not Skyrim. This is not a sandbox game. We're playing a more focused story with more defined characters. That's not to say that there aren't things that can't be done and some limitations to overcome, but ultimately the point is that the agency of the NPC rivals at points that of the PC.

And when it came to Viv, the problem there was I couldn't find her. :D Well, thing is that's what they did in the older games, and they moved away from it. Because it is very hard to predict how people feel about things, and how obvious those breaks are, how much you pay attention. Trust me, I fell into those Bio-traps, and I was playing romances with a walk-through, and had the CLUA console handy to reset the variables. And I wrote/coded romances myself that broke on one decision, on a completely crazy decisions, on a cumulative dislike index, branched out into 3 paths (gods, never again), with soft breaks via player-initiated, with ability to restart romances if no other romance is active, adding checks for every other possible modded romance... I have written and coded some dozen romances in my modding times, and in my heart of hearts I long believed I am doing better than BioWARE in that particular aspect (as much as the net hated me for one specific romance, lol) and I believe that Bio beat me as a modder for my own heart twice (Thane>Kivan, Anders> Jaemal). I am not bragging, just trying to explain that I have given it a LOT of thoughts over the years and saw the other side of the moon in my own small way. In the end, after a decade of that, and many hours thinking, talking to my peers (and bitterly arguing with them sometimes), writing, coding, testing, listening to comments, both well-meaning and scathing, what I came to believe in is that DA2 was the best approach. Plot-important, player-sexual, player-controlled, and adjusting to whether the character agrees or rabidly disagrees with the protagonist. DA2 was the best. Also, required the most backroom efforts to make it work so smoothly with the game for each romance. Respect and hats off for DA2.

Remove her story arch from the game and it doesn't affect the Deep Roads Expedition, the Arishok declaring war, or the mages vs Templars show down. Isabella was the reason the Qunari was there, and Fenris is from the country that is at war with them, as well as having a very strong opinion on the mages vs Templar debate. Her romance is also a bit weak- she is oblivious to all flirting as being even remotely sexual, from my experience, making her suddenly showing up at your house and open to sex with you really strange.

I know, but I am under the impression that Eluvians and Flemeth were supposed to be more than just a nod to DA1. I also feel it is the part that keeps getting cut out by some reason, and that in DA:I Morrigan amalgamated Merill's role. Merril just seems to be a character they really wanted to promote to important, and did not succeed. She would have been a far better participant than Morrigan tbh as she could have been a viable opposition to Solas, someone loyal to the other elven gods. Anyway, this is out of scope of a Twitter thread. Elsewhere if you like.

Re: romances
I just don't think anything will make everyone happy. I don't particularly care as long as everyone's got at least one option and every option has the same amount of romance content and plot-centered romance content. Gay men want a sex scene too and if you're not going to give them what they give to straight men as far as explicit content better just save the money and fade to black for everyone.

First off - cool find! Second - In the future, for posting tweets please just copy/paste the contents of the tweet and not link to the tweet itself. There's just too many issues with linked tweets on the forum. But back to Alix for a moment, it certainly sounds very Dragon Age-y, but the timing seems... odd. I wouldn't have expected any VO work to be begin for like... another year-ish. The Writer's Pit (as far as I can tell) has only been assembling since min-January. Maybe it's a DA promo thing? Something else entirely? I dunno...

This summer, Bioware pulls a Beyonce and drops DA4 the same day it's announced. Honestly, I would do this if it weren't for missing pre-order sales, which the industry seems to think is super-important. Minimize players expectations, which are like 40 per cent of the reason people get super-pissed these days.

A demo? Something for trailer purposes? I mean SOMETHING is definitely happening

midnight tea Rather than gender/race restrictions, I wish it would be Choice Restrictions. Like, giving Fenris back into Slavery should have caused anyone dating you in DA2 to break up with you. Anders breaks up with you if you deal with Torpor. Leliana would attack you if you spoiled the Ashes. Sera breaking up with you if you're Devout Dalish-- break ups over personality and actions, rather than not dating you at all because you're too tall/short and have horns. I kinda think that someone who Allies the Templars shouldn't be able to start a relationship with Solas or Dorian. I know the approval system makes it more difficult to romance these two, but the system is too easily controlled. And I don't want it based on approval anyway. There should be deal breakers for all the LIs irregardless of approval with them? Would be cool. Yeah I feel that's more realistic.

First off - cool find! But back to Alix for a moment, it certainly sounds very Dragon Age-y, but the timing seems... odd. I wouldn't have expected any VO work to be begin for like... another year-ish. The Writer's Pit (as far as I can tell) has only been assembling since min-January. Maybe it's a DA promo thing? Something else entirely? I dunno... I recall a particular dev mentioning that lately they've been working long hours on something for reasons , so it'd seem to me that they're cooking something - I have no idea what that could be.... A demo? Something for trailer purposes? I mean SOMETHING is definitely happening And I'm over reacting, but having fun with it. ^^
