Me, deciding my romance for a new game:

You’re shady as fuck. I don’t trust you.

Also me:

I hate having to "friendzone" Reyes in order to romance Jaal. He just wants to be loved despite his flaws, and Ryder does that. But bioware just loves making everyone monogamous and/or completely commitment-phobic.

RELEASE THE DA2 VARRIC ROMANCE ENDING BIOWARE

[riddleturner]

he's an apostate. he's a grey warden. he's on the run from the law. he's bonded body mind and soul to a spirit of the fade. he practices one of the rarest and most taxing magical diciplines known to mages. he's a cat dad. he was put in solitary confinement for a full year. he saves lives daily and asks for no payment. he's a massive bitch. he's personal friends with the hero of ferelden. he hates the church. he's hopelessly in love with you. he writes and distributes his own manifesto. he was forced to kill his own ex boyfriend. he doesn't see a way out. he's fucking blonde.

thinking about sten again. thinking about him calling the warden kadan and never explaining what it means. thinking about him offering to take the warden back with him to par vollen, but it's never actually an option the warden takes, even if you agree. thinking about how sten responds the best to a warden who stands their ground even if he doesn't agree with them. thinking about how he loves sweets and art, and how he plays with kittens. "it's training," he says. but come on. he's playing. thinking about what else he's had to justify to himself for liking.

and he calls alistair kadan! shale as well! do you think it was ever extended to the other party members? just,, agh

the most romantic thing about the solas romance is how much love there is for lavellan in the act of breaking up with her.

solas breaks up with lavellan because it is objectively what is best for her. not because it's what he wants. not because his mission is just more important than she is. because he loves her.

it is in lavellan's best interests that she know who she falls in love with and has agency in that decision. solas breaks up with her because he is not entirely truthful about who he is. she can't make an informed choice about being with him without the truth. and because solas isn't ready to tell her the truth, he backs off.

whether we like it or not, fen'harel is part of who solas is, even if solas is part of his genuine character, the face he shows us in DAI is not all of him.

what is so sexy about solas showing his love for her in this way is he sees the clear power imbalance between them (him with all his secrets), and he chooses her well being over his desires, he puts the power back in her hands - by breaking up with her. he says, "it isn't right of me to continue with this when you don't actually know me". only his reveal in trespasser opens the door for her to accept him, or deny him.

ultimately, it is up to lavellan to decide what is in her best interests. does she accept solas, now knowing the truth, or does she say "wow yeah i actually can't live with that" and walk away?

THATS THE MF INQUISITOR 🗣🗣🗣

He's got his wooden arm and cunty outfit and he's ready to kick so much ass.... and smooch a certain magister 🫢

Probably the funniest (and saddest) thing about DAV is that... I feel no urge or desire to replay it. There is just no point.

I can't go back and make different choices. Cuz there is none

I can't go back and look how my decisions from the previous games might change the world state. Cuz they won't

I can't start a new "evil" playthrough, making the worst decision possible. Cuz there is no evil decisions to begin with

I can't go back and not recruit some of my companions. Cuz it's literally impossible!

The only changeable thing this game has is a fucking romance and even romance somehow sucks ass!

"You choose the most extraodinary moments for compliments." "Is that bad?" "Quite the opposite."

Rook CONSTANTLY does the hands on hips meme. It's in every other conversation. It's literally this.

[nematode7]

I apologize in advance about the person I’ll become when this game comes out
