The only major issue I had with Iron Bull's romance is that he establishes dominance no matter what, telling you that it's "what you need". Bull, Iron Bull. Both of the male characters I romanced Bull with would've totally been the top in the relationship. I love how Cole tells him he's full of it. It's glorious.

He's not that bad... with a big strong qunari mage. I played a male dwarf. I'm pretty sure Iron Bull's thing is bigger than the whole dwarf. dwarves ares stocky at least wheres elves are just...bones.

I'm kind of not holding my breath over those potential cliffhangers, due to what happened in the DA series. There were so many hints at possible plot twists in the games that went absolutely nowhere. The old god baby (I doubt his existence or lack of it will influence Solas in any way in DA4), Sandal and his creepy prophesies, Flemeth's daughter-body-snatching ways, the Thedas-wide Templar/Mage war resolved in one quest... I suspect they will never really come up again because hey, Solas the new guy wants to destroy the world, lets deal with that now! They really created too many variables that they can no longer deal with with limited resources, so all those plot points kinda fade into obscurity. Weekes said they throw out a lot of "hooks" (I think that's the word he used) and see how people react. They use those reactions to determine what their focus will be going forward. I think it's gotten a little more refined since DAO - since that was really all over the place - but you still see it even in DAI: Like how Hawke mysteriously goes to talk to the Wardens, and then just shows back up in Kirkwall post-Trespasser. That was clearly a setup for something. I think everything they've brought up that is Ryder-specific can be tied up in DLC. NPCs on the Meridian even say that Pathfinders are supposed to become "obsolete" one day and that others will quickly be able to figure out how to use RemTech. Plus - while the crew wants to stick around now - most express a desire to eventually "settle". I think the character arcs for a lot of them would lead them off the Tempest, and we'd see something more like what happened with the original trilogy, where maybe some NPCs and one or two companions stick around but the rest only have auxiliary roles. In regards to the second spoiler That's contradicted by the very fact that Angaran still can't figure out rem tech to a decent extent despite having centuries to do so. So either that's BS or we have another case of humans are special (and I really hope that's not the case). Considering to even learn to use Rem-tech involves a great deal of pain most likely an AI will always be needed for the first steps and not that many people are gonna be willing to have an AI stuck in their head to get to the point where they can learn it alone. Agreed on everyone eventually going their separate ways tho.

Versatile master race, only weaklings limit their potential. I don't care how limiting it is. I'm not taking on Iron Bull. *snip* Nah he's great at foreplay I think my little fem elf will be fine. (That said the size difference between them my god).

To be honest, it's really depending on the group they aim the content at. Males in general prefer sex in their relationship. Materials at aimed at straight/gay guys are generally very sex driven. Porn for them are very explicit and they are the major consumption of those materials, bara which is gay porn aimed at males is 90% sex and 10% plot while yaoi which aimed at females is generally 80% plot and 20% sex if any. The differences between yaoi and bara are more complicated than more story and more sex. Yaoi can be very explicit. Bara usually features much more healthy relationships, though. In many cases, yaoi uses the seme/uke trope to mask what is essentially raping the smaller partner into submission. Studying/comparing male and female sexuality based on those two specific genres is not a great idea. Yep and there's some shoujo that's questionable as fuck. (I still hate how Hot Gimmick ended)

Not really? Jaal just requires you do what he asks during the quest (During his LM he repeats himself so much I was screaming I GET IT BRO.) as for Peebee I haven't romanced her yet so I'm not sure. I assume it's don't do the obvious one night stand choice. Actually, people were able to romance her even if they did the zero g. You gotta earn her trust and it takes quite a lot of time to do so but once you do... the reward is great. She tells you she never ever trusted anyone this much. It's strongly hinted it's her very first time embracing eternity with someone because of that. And then she shows how much she cares via autodialogues. Oh sweet. That's good.

And then the dialogue you get when they hate you Fallout 4 has the same system as Dragon Age. It really hurts when you try to lower their approval just to hear what they says. Hearing McCree cursing at you was kinda hurt. While not perfect, approval system makes sense more than Mass Effect where they just follow you regardless of what you do as long as you do this one thing they like you to. It doesn't matter if you are a psychopath the rest of the game. Oh yeah also the whole getting dumped then getting back together. (I shamefully admit to doing that to poor Danse and McCree on purpose). Seriously it's freaking weird how Tali was fine with my renedouche ra ra Cerberus dude (and even boned him despite him handing Veetor over to Cerberus).

To be fair this is the case for the entire series. DA was the one that made you work for friendship that was never ME's thing. Although you gotta work if you want to romance PB or Jaal. Other characters... not so much. Not really? Jaal just requires you do what he asks during the quest (During his LM he repeats himself so much I was screaming I GET IT BRO.) as for Peebee I haven't romanced her yet so I'm not sure. I assume it's don't do the obvious one night stand choice.

Pretty sure you're not supposed to get the egg scene if you don't save his men. Least I didn't get it without doing such. That said yeah Jaal gives you pretty much all his content (you might miss some unique comments due to him brushing you off about how upset he is but it's minor). Then it was a bug, bc we definitely saw that while having his scouts killed. I guess bugs don't surprise me anymore... The sad thing is I'm not sure if I got the bug or you did. This game is a mess.

You lose Drack's final friendship scene if you let his scouts die. So there is an actual consequence to it. Not sure about Jaal tho. Uh-huh, what "final friendship scene"? Kadara fight? Or about Kesh's eggs? He had them both if you're talking about it. Jaal had all his content too because from other save he romanced Jaal and basically all content minus Jaal's sex scene was there. Pretty sure you're not supposed to get the egg scene if you don't save his men. Least I didn't get it without doing such.

I'm glad that nothing came of that trust system. Sounded annoying. I hate having to walk on eggshells around jackass party members as in Dragon Age in order to see their personal quests. But this is something they talked about until the game was released, right? Can you be locked out of loyalty missions? I know there are few things you can do to upset teammates. (let the krogan scouts die; blow up the exaltation facility) No. Bf let the krogan scouts die - Drack mentioned it only twice, right after and in the end of his loyalty (which still was do-able). Tried to blow up the exaltation facility too - Jaal's loyalty was still accessible and he never said anything about it too. He also did Peebee's loyalty mission only after game's ending just out of interest how this will affect it - because Ian said that there is some "punishment" regarding it. Well, thing is - it looks like they only affect your ability to romance them (+ in Cora's case if Dunn will survive, but she's the only one who affects at least part of game's ending) + gives one new dialogue in the ending scene if you did it at max. No punishment. She still stays on the ship, she's still alive, she won't say a word about it. Btw, what happened with their "Ryder can fall in love and out of it a few times" statement? There is literally no button "sorry, let's stop our romance" if you want to pursue somebody else. Once you commit, you're done, you can't break up and start something with somebody else (Reyes is an exception and it feels like a bug/oversight because you need specific circumstances for it to happen). DA:I at least had this button for some romances (don't recall IB having it but I may be forgetting already, but Dorian, Josie and Sera definitely had them?) You lose Drack's final friendship scene if you let his scouts die. So there is an actual consequence to it. Not sure about Jaal tho.

I never used him and Vetra honestly and if I have to choose him or Vetra I'd choose him. Vetra...bores me to be honest. Understandable. Vetra was my bff in the game though. So I have to pick her over Liam. However, I'm hopeful they make up maybe? Eh? Hopefully. Drack and Vetra are awesome tho. But Drack's pretty much awesome with everyone so...

So I only had one issue with Liam. He was really an asshole to Vetra in all the banter between them I heard on planet. Do those two ever learn to get along, and/or does he ever apologize for giving her so much shit over taking her sister to Andromeda with her? Cause if not...Liam may or may not be dead to me. :poop: I got frustrated and stopped using them on the same team pretty fast-it was toxic. I never used him and Vetra honestly and if I have to choose him or Vetra I'd choose him. Vetra...bores me to be honest.

I agree so hard with the first bolded but the second? Nah Liam's romance is beautiful. I love it. Reyes should've been the designated evil companion. We don't have one and he's a perfect fit. And it's not like he couldn't have done his smuggling/shadow leader on ship. Liara can be the goddamn SB on the Normandy clearly the job doesn't entail he sit in that bar all the time. Sure his romance might be fine, but his normal content is an insomnia cure, he's not inspiring me to dig deeper. Well maybe he needs to be on site to be competent. Clearly such a feat was beyond Liara lmao I liked it fine tho? But I'm a shameless Reyes fangirl so. Nah he would've been fine not being on site.

honestly the romance content I've enjoyed the most so far is the fling with Peebee, Cora is duller than a butterknife ground 90 degrees on a whetstone, the Aya historian isn't worthy of the title "romance", Reyes is cool but has limited content.
I haven't tried the stuff for Liam or Vetra but they're also trying to best Kaidan's record for most snores induced in their writing. I agree so hard with the first bolded but the second? Nah Liam's romance is beautiful. I love it. Reyes should've been the designated evil companion. We don't have one and he's a perfect fit.

That and no human men that aren't flings for f/m players? No thanks. I do not want to be stuck with just an alien. The doctor character I listed wasn't a fling. But anyways, it's mostly just in response to what I've seen people ask for. Nah I need my human male companion romance. (Like Cullen was an exception and I don't trust the ME team to do a non squaddie justice. Not after this game).

How come there are no straight female characters in the squad? I've seen a lot of guys go on about how they wanted to romance Traynor or Suvi. Now's their chance, while still having an option on the squad. That and no human men that aren't flings for f/m players? No thanks. I do not want to be stuck with just an alien.

Yep all you get is him mentioning you slipping into the storage closet together. Like really Reyes? (I totally would've gone for it though I am shameless). I didn't even get that. Where does that happen? I couldn't find him anywhere on Meridian. The last thing I got from him was the wink after the final battle. He's on Meridian. Near the Angara up the stairs in the corner. He's blends in like the sneaky bastard he is Once you leave though he vanishes. Rip.

The 'You have bad taste in men' scene with Reyes was so wonderfully cheesy and admittedly sexy that it got rid of my salt towards Bioware. Leaving him on Kadara with no new content until the very end of the game brought it all back though. Yeah, I just finished the game and you don't even get a little post-game conversation like every other "full" romance. Come oooonnn Yep all you get is him mentioning you slipping into the storage closet together. Like really Reyes? (I totally would've gone for it though I am shameless).

I just don't get why they HAD to make the baby situation a Thing for Gil. Presumably he can donate and freeze sperm for others to get inseminated by, and I would expect the Initiative brought eggs and sperm in a bank for reproduction as well as intending for the colonies to do their own natural way of population. It's unlikely even a handful of "I don't want kids" folks was hindering any population growth, and hey, you kind of need people to take care of generators and water filters and defense while the others are raising their families, so everyone has a part regardless of their "batter." It would have been great if it just stopped with he would like to have kids of his own some day, and had a friend in reproduction who was a supportive person willing to help. They ruined what could have been a nice story with this pressure crap. Yep if he had been the one wanting kids and trying to get Jill to give him options it'd still be cheesy but it wouldn't be creepy.
