[Megathread] Dragon Age 3

[zealo]

well it depends what you compare them to. compared to a real life romance obviously they can't compete, but compare them to romances in most games and even in movies and I'd give BioWare the victory

Most of the "romances" in Bioware games are pretty wooden at best. A better example would be the witcher series, and even there it have issues.

Witcher does not have really romances, there's ONE romance (if we even want to call it that) and then lots of random casual sex

I wouldn't really call out Witcher "romance" stuff as example.

Whereas Bioware romances are poor fanfic combined with blatant fanservice, Witcher "romances" aren't really that. It's just either someone trying to get into Geralt's pants, Geralt trying to get in someone's pants (which besides being player decision in lore is far rarer occurance) or just two old friends spending time together like Shani&Geralt or Triss&Geralt which does seem a lot more natural.

Casual sex with prostitutes mainly. Not that most women would have an issue with banging Geralt.

It's actually very objectifying as Witchers are considered that very rare catch (and especially Geralt of Rivia) and whenever they're not treated as inhumane trash they're used in many ways including sexually to pad one's social status

Think of some woman banging up a extremely famous actor and then posting it all over

well in the first one there was lot of casual sex with pratically everyone. :P

"Oh witcher, you saved me" said the young woman farmer
"Oh witcher, you saved me" said the young woman citizen
"Oh witcher, you saved me" said the young female doctor
It went also as far "oh thanks for the gifts witcher, wanna have sex?"

Was mostly referring to the non sexual interactions between Triss and Geralt but yes there is a lot of random casual sex in those games. I'm just glad they dropped those cards you collected after the first game.

Shes used to a good plowing I bet.

considering that a bunch of flowers was enough to bed her, yes, yes she was

While on the topic of the Witcher series, design documents for the third one got leaked recently, so beware when browsing the web if you do not want to get spoiled.

I look at the romances in a simple way. If I'm playing let's say, a nice Shepard, I'd go with Liara. If I'm playing a bad Shepard I'll go with Ashley. Simple stuff like that.

I never played Dragon Age though, is the concept of the "upper part of the wheel being good" and "bottom part being evil" same for Dragon Age too?

Didn't Geralt bang a naga/lamia in the books?
His relationship is pretty open, i don't think the old dog really understand (or can even feel) love. Not that he needs to, he got a pretty sweet thing going on.

Origins have a bunch of different things to say and you have to decode for yourself what they mean, and hope they mean what you think they mean.
DA2 have diplomatic top, sarcastic middle (which is the best option in any situation), and asshole bot.
The funny thing is that Hawke will in some scenes reply in the manner that you have used the most. I liked that, the character was bending to my will.

I think the only thing Geralt have not fucked are probably lamp post at this stages.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

one can only wonder, at this point, how far rule34 can apply.

[Deleted]

*dont' remember exactly rule 35*
*find a link on urban dictionary*
*read rule*
*read example*
*cringe a lot*

[Deleted]

Get all those shitty subversions out.
It's the simplest shit.

34. If it exists, there is porn of it
35. If it does not exist at this point, it will be made

[Nirawen]

Can you blame them? RAWR!

I think I'd prefer Roche to Geralt if I was gay, although that may be because of my hatred for elves .

Geralt isn't an elf. O.o

Nirawen wants to go on elf-slaughtering adventures with Roche. I do too.

Can I have Iorveth then? Not being able to romance him made me really sad, and is the reason why I prefer to play games like DA when it comes to stuff like this.

Exactly, noone kills elven women and children like good ol' Roche .
