She just wants to messing with his hair 😄

How on earth did the DATV team allow that scene to be placed at that point in the story???

HUGE VEILGUARD SPOILERS.

I romanced Harding (been pining for 9 yearssss) and after I did her personal quests and got her to 10 Bond I was surprised I didn't trigger a scene. As I headed into the final quests, I thought maybe it was a post-climax . . . climax (ehehe) but I just received the scene.

I'd just done a loop around the Lighthouse, talking to each of my incredibly distraught friends, spending time in Davrin's place mourning his and Assan's loss. Then I went to "Varric's room" to mourn him as well. To say this was the most depressing visit to the Lighthouse would be an understatement.

And *now* Harding's dtf? I think I needed a "I'm not in the mood right now, babe" button to delay it til a post-credits scene or something. After we get our fade-to-black after kissing, Harding's smiling and saying she could be happy like this forever.

WOMAN, DAVRIN AND ASSAN AND VARRIC ARE DEAD. WE AIN'T GOT ANY IDEA WHERE BELLARA IS. MINRATHOUS IS UNDER OLD GOD OCCUPATION AND THERE'S A PERMAECLIPSE. WTF YOU MEAN YOU'RE HAPPY.

Then we're cuddling and being silly and I'm like "This is how it's going to be from now on, huh? /giggle :D"

Um, pretty sure the world is probably going to end shortly if we don't put our pants on and get this sorted??

I'd seen some complaints about "pacing" for the story, but I've not felt any strong way about it until now. One of my favorite things about games with romance features is how giddy and giggly I feel when I get to flirt with my romantic interest. I'd always run to Josephine for my kiss and accidentally port myself to the garden. Life was tough back in the Inquisition.

Do all romances occur at the same point? What happens if you get your romantic partner killed (or kidnapped?) with choices before? You're just SOL?

Writing Ideas

Or, romantic snippets I've yet to find the right story to weave into. (Feel free to use and tag me; they're cluttering up my google docs)

“How long were you waiting?” he asked her as he approached.

“Not long,” she lied.

It always felt like forever, but she didn't mind the wait.

~~~

"I hate you," she said.

"Is that so?" he said, unperturbed.

"I hate you," she insisted. "I can't stand the thought of you."

"How considerate of you to tell me," he said dryly. "And at our wedding, too." He gestured towards the grand hall packed with loved ones and tolerated friends and forgettable acquaintances.

~~~

She knew he loved her, and she knew she loved him, but there were still so many parts of him she had yet to discover and learn.

Such as the fact that he hogged the sheets when he slept.

Or that he snored.

Or that he kept putting his freezing cold feet on the backs of her legs.

"I am going to smother you with my pillow--once you get off of me," she muttered at his sleeping form as he dared to drool onto her shoulder.

Dear users of reddit, am I the asshole? My wife and I were having a debate. She thinks I’m being ridiculous, but I assure you, I am the sane one in this conversation...

Yes please 🥺 I love how you wrote the romance scenes in CoE, esp. the spicy scene with Irus. Very poetic it's like reading those classic romance novels. It so good I want more ❤️

Thank you, Anon! It means a lot 😊 I try to keep things more prose-like for romance and ahem, smut scenes 😅 Personally, I feel that it adds more to the emotions and it fits better for a high-fantasy setting.

Sometimes I wish that COE was finished so I could focus on something else, more specifically romance, but we are still months away from that, so we'll all just suffer together 😞

Whenever I embark on a new chapter, I always have some outline or idea in my head on the events that will unfold. Often, I can tell immediately if the chapter will be a breeze to write, or if it'll take me forever. Just now, I reached a certain part of my chapter: a fight scene. I love fight scenes, I also love writing them (doesn't matter if they're sword or martial arts or something else), and I do love the result after writing them. However, I also know that it's one of those forever-to-write scenes. There's that nagging need inside me as I write to be mindful of several key details. The same goes for smut scenes (if I'm choosing to write one, which isn't always the case).

So, I was curious - fanfic writers, or writers in general - what are the most difficult scenes for you to write? It could be for any reason why that scene is the most difficult for you to write. What scenes in your writing make you both excited and reluctant, make you wish you could skip time to see the end result, or make you a tad anxious because you wonder if you've missed an important detail or not?

I've tried to include as many different types of scenes as I could think of, but do let me know if I've missed anything! I'm so very curious on other writers' experiences!

also since im still up i have to do something on brand. Are the sex scenes gonna be skip to black or explicit. Personally explicit is best but thats just me

You can choose in game whether you want to read the smut or not.

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

This is how a touch starved man looks like

The relief in his eyes because she's finally touching him, and his cup is being filled is unreal. And it doesn't matter how many times he had sex with some random chick he paid before this. THIS is what he needs, THIS is what matters.

Someone finally give Luke Newton some award!!

UPON CLOSER INSPECTION

IT IS HIS MIDDLE AND RING FINGER HE DOESN’T USE

Kinda blurry but

HE USES HIS THUMB TO PULL THE DRESS UP AND POINTER FINGER TO MOVE THE HAIR

COLIN DID IN FACT SPIDER-MAN HER

THE RING. THE RIIIIIIIIIING.

( @dollypopup you inspired me to investigate…)

In my mind palace my tav and Astarion are playing the exact same game of 5D chess and they don't realize it yet
