Other Romances

Trillian — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:27:26 GMT

So we have out favourite of course, and the other three companions. But what about other characters in the game. It was something I just started thinking about last night after playing the mage origin and found the whole thing with Cullen extremely cute. It may even give me the willpower to resist Alistair on this run, as my mage cares too much for another templar. And with my original human, I was disappointed I could sleep with the elf and the guy (can't rememember the names) but not Gilmore. ...

Is Zevran worth it?

TrishaMcMillan — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:07:04 GMT

I have a small dilemma on my hands. So I made a city elf and at first I really wanted her to romance Zevran.Until she came to Ostagar and there was our favorite subject and some comments about him in a dress and dancing and I had a serious case of relapse... Does anyone have first hand expierience with the naughty elf and how fleshed out is his romance in comparison with Alistair? (we all know that he's got pretty big shoes to fill, don't we?)

Who robbed you of your virtual virginity?

Amerou — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:49:15 GMT

Inspired by a comment on the other forum....

I'm going to go old skool and say Reno from FF7. I used to say that he was single-handedly responsible for jumpstarting my puberty.

I know there's plenty of Bioware luv on the forum, but where are the heart-ons for the previous generations of hotness that paved the way for cuties like Alistair?

Your favorite ending? (endgame-spoilers obviously)

TrishaMcMillan — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:21:21 GMT

I would like to hear your toughts on this. In my first playthrough Alistair ended up beeing king with my PC as his queen (excuse me, prince consort! *what the heck!*). I didn't like the way my PC was proposing to him in the middle of a gathering of nobles without having the option to first talk about it with him. But in retorspective it made sense for the character I was roleplaying, in her eyes he was the better option next to Anora who not only doublecrossed her once but twice and she ...

Hi my name is Elusive and I have a crush on an NPC . . . Isn't that how these meetings usually start? Let's see, where did it all begin? Ah yes, I remember now. I bought Dragon Age as a gift for someone this past Christmas with absolutely NO intention of playing it. I was a hardcore WoW girl, raiding and what not, but then one day I said, "Meh, why not?" I popped in the disc, installed the game and my life was changed forever. Never have I played a game I fell in love with so ...

Just another one of these "Hello" topics.

So, um, yeah, hi. I just managed to beat DA:O for the first time, got a little obsessed with Alistair... Good, I see I'm not the only one... xD" Uff!
What can I do for you...? I'm drawing a little, but I'm not very productive. I'm fighting with one of these DA art memes for 2nd day right now...
So, a big hug for all of you, I'll try not to break anything here xD

I know we just met, but we're in love

transmogrified — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 02:43:47 GMT

Hello everyone. So i just recently started playing Dragon Age, but am already head over heals for Alistair. Not really, but I think Bioware did an excellent job on the Alistair character (and the game in general)... His dialogue is quirky and often makes me laugh out loud, his voice acting is superb, hi facial animations make me blush, and he just seems like a real 3-dimensional character that, over time, I've actually grown fond of. My favorite conversation is between him and the dwarf ...

Sybelia — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:29:11 GMT

Hi girls! (and guys? You may never know.) I too am a real Alistair fan, I have been playing DA:O for some time now and I think he is one of the best game characters I have ever seen. But there are some downsides to all this, so I wrote a little blog post of it. Feel free to give comments in the blog if you like. I really start to feel sorry for Alistair after watching those images. Girl's blog of videogames / Dragon Age: Origins - How to break up with Alistair

I started playing DA:O about maybe a week ago. I'd heard a of people talk about how great it was, and since I loved Knights of the Old Republic, I figured it was worth a shot. Before my boyfriend went back to Chicago for law school a couple weeks ago, he lent me the game for the 360. I'm still in the midst of my first play-through as female Cousland and of course loving it (I'm currently in Orzammar), and due to my newfound fan-girlishness and the internets, I've kind of accidentally and not ...
