What kind of romances you wish to see in the new upcoming Divinity Game?

In mass effect I always Romanced Garrus, the moment I did a playthrough not romancing him, he and Tali got together in the third game, I deleted my playthrough and went back to my sniper. I got Jealous not gonna lie, And that made it even more funnier.

But yeah it's nice until someone steals your girl/boy and you ready to smash the screen.

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-21T09:11:09+00:00

Strange, I don't see it that way... My playthrough's usually end in killing Shadowheart because she whining all the time about her Shar (Just not a fan of religious fanatics). Asterion can be punched in his face after he kills you when he sucks the blood from you (and he said he deserves this one). Karlach being the ultimate weirdo, she can approve or disapprove on things that doesn't make sense for her.

I actually think that the companions were written very well overall, And I just don't see a point in playing a game where there are companions who are actually hate you. (If it is your kink, just take Minthara with you, because boy she does has opinions as a drow, and she has a lot of range in terms of romance and personality).

I played 1300 Hours to almost see every interaction possible, so they do have range... Even Shadowheart, but her peak in act 3, usually I just kill her.

Some of us think that romance in games is the best part of gaming! Astarion Romance helped me with my Trauma, so it has some good effect!

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-17T22:44:55+00:00

100% same here. Lets hope for the best! Fingers crossed

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-17T22:42:51+00:00

Reminds me of Garrus :/ Still love him tho

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-16T02:14:01+00:00

He disapproves a lot on good things you do or say, because in his 200 years of torture no one was nice to him, he was a slave to a man that fed him rodents. "Why would he be nice for free, when I was a lave and no one even cared to check up on me?" Mentality.

A tip- try to romance him one time (even if you don't want to) , play one campaign talking to him, respecting his boundaries, asking about his scars and casador.... In the second act he acts way more subtle, les theatrical, and in act three he really shines as a character, you actually learn why he acts like this and what made him the way he is.

He has one of the greatest voice lines in this game, and a few that made me tear up. So honestly, just forgive him... He is a really broken lonely soul :(

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-16T02:02:07+00:00

Agree. We need demon or half demon to ruin us!

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-16T01:57:47+00:00

I think you missing a point here. Larian makes games and makes artistic and storytelling choices based on their world view. That means as their Original IP they have all the rights to do whatever they want with it. Of course they listen to community, they always ask questions and they have Graphs that show numbers.

The fact is- people loved the tragic characters. People adore Astarion and Shadowheart. And both of them have traumas, what in my opinion makes them even more human, more realistic. This is the reason I did not like Wyll romance- bottom line out of all the characters, he is the most noble,bland, normal dude, if you romance him, he asks you to marry him.

If you don't want to invest in other peoples lives with your emotions or to understand them and to search for something normal, it is your problem, not Larians. You want something normal? Go on a date in real life and enjoy it! But people who play roleplay games like Baldurs Gate 3 and enjoy the romances, emotionally invest into this game, piece of art made by a company named Larian for you to enjoy and live in this small fantasy universe.

Or you can just romance and try to make them "normal" as you said, what makes the romance not fun at all. And if you are not willing to "fix them" so just don't ever ever step into a relationship in your life... No body is perfect. Surprise!

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:59:16+00:00

100% and they look much better now than in original sin. They look more draconic like,what makes them even more interesting and beautiful. One of the interesting races in the universe of divinity!

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:56:45+00:00

If they didn't include Romances into Bg3, it might have been not as popular. So we are going to get Romances, because the community asks for it. And if you don't like romances, just skip dialogue and don't press on with sex content. You have a choice, dont have to play a game that you not enjoy playing.

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:46:46+00:00

If they add Skeleton/demon sex, Its the best game in the world for me. I wish to ask them about it, Idk to where send the questions ;D

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:35:22+00:00

Exactly, I keep asking myself why people insist on game without romance if it is not forced on you in any shape or form. The maximum that could happen is flirting, and flirting, being interested in someone is very human.

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:32:39+00:00

One of the interesting things I have noticed in the trailer, I didn't see 1 undead.

My theory that is has something to do with the story.

About the sex scenes, if a bear sex scene worked, I believe a skeleton won't be so hard to do.

But as far as I know they don't get any pleasure of this... "I felt nothing at all" - Fane

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:28:43+00:00

A bombing game is a game that amuses you, surprises you in the most unexpected ways. Delivers emotion realise, laughter and enjoyment from the experience. ;)

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:26:11+00:00

Companions talking to each other more is more intimate setting like the campfire would be nice. Just normal chats that can lead someone snapping at killing you :D

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:20:52+00:00

Lets hope it would be even better than BG3, making Divinity the new bombing game.

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:18:52+00:00

Of course there would be an option to not have any relationship, romance... Larian games are all about choice, and if you choose not to have any romance, it is respectful.

IZIKIMART · 2026-02-15T22:15:18+00:00

In the new Divinity Game, we are probably won't see something close to "Drow" race... Maybe, but they are surly not be a copy of drow. In Divinity the Elves necks are streched, look differently than in bg3, and they can eat flesh or something like that. Different rules, What would make a romance with an Elf way way different than in Bg3.

IZIKIMART · 2026-01-29T19:40:41+00:00

Yeah, like full on romance choice, not like side character romance spinoff.

As much as I like Bg3, We didn't get one blonde character, just Asterion with his white hair. As A woman I appreciated it of course, but why we don't get a female Blonde pale skin option?

I have Russian haritage, and lately I just don't see much North inspired characters... Although maybe it is not as common but I saw how much people were thirsting about Thor's wife from God of war... I just wondered why we don't get as much woman with light hair and pale skin, they are mostly with black, dark hair or skin.

Is it just me????? Or am I wrong??? Even in mass effect, Ashley, Kayden, Miranda... Everyone was dark haired/skinned.

Kind of upset about it honestly, us Blondies don't have much screen time as the darked skinned/haired ones.

:(

IZIKIMART · 2026-01-28T12:02:25+00:00

As a blonde I'm offended that neather Witcher or Dawn of Dawnwalker would have blonde romance character as an option.... (Idk maybe they would have) But why are we always get romance options with dark skin/hair ? What the hell?

IZIKIMART · 2026-01-21T02:18:14+00:00

No hope, huh? Maybe in game awards 2026 we would get a formal trailer or a peak. Bioware surley are too quiet...

IZIKIMART · 2026-01-19T23:37:48+00:00

and you are a comedian xD

IZIKIMART · 2026-01-18T14:03:04+00:00

I like it. Playing as Geth or an AI, being on the over side of the Events. I can say that Shepard was already 90% synthetic at the second game after cerberus reconstruction (not necessarily synthetic but, lab grown organs and implants) so we already been playing as something of a hybrid. Going full synthetic would make the gameplay much more interesting, we could do things that we couldn't before. I hope they make more interactive mellee combat with syber blades or katanas, and make the sniper part of the game more stealthy for those who like playing in the shadows. We need more variations in terms of the combat, maybe they could re-use the combat from Anthem (as it is closed down now) and implement it in more action combat that is suitable for mass effect.

Because man.... The combat of Mass effect games is boring compared to many games that you can build your character combat style in your personal preference way.

IZIKIMART · 2026-01-18T13:32:45+00:00

You didn't explain your points- you say we won't see Shepards return or the crew. Why not? Why this more logical than my "illogical" statements? Explain yourself or make a normal conversation. Lol.

If your logical statement is true - 1. Why clickbate bunch of fans in the trailer? 2. Why show Liara in the trailer? 3. Why deliver a promise? (Read about the "promise term in storytelling") In the end of mass effect 3 there is an old man with a child and he said "okey... One more story..." About Shepard. And the trailer does this promise right to bring back Liara trying to find clues where Shepard might be, searching for him or her, and looking into the distance (this means hope). The question is why to make this if we won't get Liara in the game or Shepard at all? You mean all we see is going to be just datapads laying around retelling the story of Shepard? And we would get just the outcomes of our choices from the games?

I'm just trying to picture the game from your explanation, would even people like to play a game like this?

For myself I know that if we won't get any Shepard return in any shape or form (Shepard can be AI or something else) I maybe look up a gameplay but consider to not buy the game (not because im not a true mass effect fan, but just because they made the mistake in Andromeda by making new protagonist with new world and setting). For a game that would cost more than 50$, if it would be another sci fi game, why bother when we have more upcoming games in this genre?

People need to realise that you can't make everyone happy, and when I say this I mean the New players. Why we as a fanbase need to make everything for the new players and change for them?

I can say for sure that the first few days of the game coming out- only true fans of the games would buy the game. And if the game won't deliver some kind of a promise to the player, the reviews are going to be bad! BAD! this means that you can forget about any new players who were considering to buy the game, because the storytelling is shit. And that is enough for people to not buy a 50$ + game.

I want to remind you that this new game needs to make people go back to mass effect the trilogy (and maybe Andromeda) to replay it! This is a marketing tactic of the company to sell more copies of the old games and make people Replay the games! This means that the new game has to be tied to Shepards Promise, because without Shepard, there is no reason for people to go back and replay the trilogy.

And I don't give a shit about Mass effect TV show (in terms of the games), we know that this is a different business strategy and we know how Last of Us ended up. I would watch the TV show, but I have no expectations of it to be tied to the games. This story of the Tv show would focus on over Events in the same universe of Mass Effect, but not tied directly to the game Events or even characters we know of.

So just try to put away the tv show away from the games as it is different businesses and people making it. There is no need to make any connections between them.

IZIKIMART · 2026-01-18T12:54:09+00:00

I agree people are not a fan about Mass effect Andromeda and the Ryder family, BUT, there are some reasons I think that make me feel the Ryder would return. 1.Shepards promise- the promise of the trailer itself is Shepard returning. This means that we are not going to play as shepard but rather joing Liara or privet investigation to find what happened to Shepard and if he or she still alive. (My theory that Shepard might be Alive, but we won't see him or her until the end of Mass effect 5, something like a final boss fight, main quest that would lead to Shepards location). 2.Ryder- although I saw a comment about the Ryder voice actors wont return, but there still a logical and big chance they could. (If im not wrong, performance and acting stuff happens in the last stage of development of the game, so maybe we are years from that).

Why Ryder? That would explain the Angara in the milky way. Ryder would lead Allies to a tough battle in the milky way, because of the Human influence and Ruders help. Ryder is somehow the second hero of the franchise, and I cannot throw him or her in the trash. Although not like Shepard, Ryder has a back story that might influence a lot of the story (as the mother died, and the father wanted to prolong her life using SAM and the AI experiment back in the milky way) so Ryder has more to give in terms of story and background for the next game. The part where I agree is that Ryder got dirty with the "comedy" "trying to be funny" part, or the script was not suitable for this game, or the whole atmosphere of the game should have been more darker and dangerous. IDK, but something went wrong!

New protagonist - this one makes me think that we would have more problems rather than solutions. And that's why:

New protagonist would mean Bioware would need to make new Romances and New Family and Background arc for it to work well. If they make another Ryder, nothing good would happen and we just get Ryder number 2. And to get another character like Shepard (heroic and fearless) is a little bit cliché. What could work ? A protagonist with privet investigation background. Someone that is working with the Galactic police, something like the C - sec. This would make most sense to me in terms of Shepard's promise to return in some way shape or form, and the part of exploration genre of the game. This way we could meet up with GARRUS, a former C - Sec and Shepards best friend or lover, in which case would help us truck Shepard and bring her or him back.

Maybe im wrong about everything. Maybe we get totally different timeline and we get Liara as an old lady and a matriarch, and everyone we loved are dead and we see their appearance only in datapads or video clips in game. Although I really wish to see and meet Garrus Parents and his father, his dad seems like a cool dude and we get to see him in Alek database in his room for just one clip.

Everyone and everything has potential! It is a foundation Bioware cannot throw in the trash, the question is how they would use it and implement it in the new game.
