![]() ![]() I was pretty stoked on a bad-ass lady-duo with Vivienne, or perhaps replacing Bianca in Varric’s affections (though I suppose that wasn’t very realistic). Tragically, this means that Varric, Vivienne, Cole, and Leliana won’t be romance options in Inquisition, which is kind of a bummer. Solas is interested in female elves only.Cullen is interested in female elves and female humans.They are more limited in scope, largely for reasons directly related to their story arcs, but are otherwise the equal of the other options: Two “additional” romance options were added to the game as a result of the extra development time DA:I received. Dorian is interested in male characters.Sera is interested in female characters.Iron Bull is interested in both male and female characters.Josephine is interested in both male and female characters.Blackwall is interested in female characters.Cassandra is interested in male characters.They are available to players of any race, and fulfill our first design goal of providing multiple options to everyone: Laidlaw did admit that not everyone might find their particular options appealing, like they might if every character was available for every romance, but that they hope this system “ideally lets each player know they’re not an afterthought in our development process.” ![]() Laidlaw prefaced the list of options by saying that BioWare wanted every player to have a myriad of choices, so that “no matter what type of character you choose to play, more than one possible romance option will be available.” Each character’s romancability is based on their story, characterization, and personal goals. “As a result, you could play the game for a significant length of time before discovering that a follower isn’t interested.” For that reason, BioWare wanted to give us folks a heads-up, lest we find ourselves disappointed after a ton of gaming hours. “The story takes a great deal of time to unfold, as do the relationships players develop with followers,” he said. Romance options are a huge part of roleplaying games, especially in BioWare franchises (brief pause for uncontrollable sobbing thinking about my in-game bbs), but Laidlaw knows that playing through a game as extensive as Dragon Age: Inquisition without knowing all your choices ahead of time might make things difficult. ![]()
