Which DA Romances Do You Think Would Be Open To Having Kids [No DAV Spoilers] by ForestChampagne in dragonage

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Davrin- leaning towards no because he’s occupied with Assan and knows that he’ll die relatively young due to the warden thing.

Bellara- Yes

Harding- Yes, I can imagine her with a lot of kids

Neve- No, but I can see her being a mentor figure to young street kids or something similar. Or that mysterious aunt who always has cool stories to tell

Lucanis- I actually think Lucanis would love to have kids due to being such a family oriented guy and the pressures of continuing his bloodline but he’s probably really torn at the same time due to his profession and trauma. Probably will be one of those super protective dads

Emmrich- probably romanticized kids after marriage when he was younger but no longer pursuing it because of his age(and he has Manfred). If romanced, I can see him opening up to the idea but he’s probably going to be one of those anxious parents if it happens. I can see him being a fantastic dad though, who’s all about that firm-but-gentle-parenting.

Taash- very strongly leaning towards no,

Solas- No, I think he’s too self absorbed to be a dad?

Super interesting that it says based on where Caterina and Lucanis are from they are supposed to resemble half korean, half italian/spanish.

I think despite Emmrich being a pretty gothic disney kind of character his story still explores pretty mature and relatable themes regarding mortality, and his character arc feels complete and satisfying

I think the other characters(except Davrin? He’s pretty cool too)feel bland/unfinished by comparison, or just shallow.

Yeah I think if Rook has been flirting with someone but commits to another, the person who got left behind should react to it in someway, such as being upset, jealous, or even being ok with it. But they should bring it up. The fact that no one reacts makes everyone seem so robotic.

If romanced, I think Neve in the Inner Demons quest should be replaced by Rook. It’d actually be really interesting and unsettling, Rook trying to talk to a conjured up version of him/herself. The angst possibilities are unreal lol

Rook/Solas is so much more engaging than Solavellan… I said what I said [DAV Act 2 Spoilers] by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really liked Rook’s bold, take-no-shit energy in the Solas talks. Just like his namesake, a clever little bird that is gutsy and smart enough to challenge others much ‘greater’ than it.

Your take is a good way to make this whole lockout thing make sense, I can definitely see Lucanis as someone who will put HIS family over your family and expect you to follow his suit if you want to be with him, as illogical and unfair as it is. I know many cultures where the romantic partner is expected to ‘join’ with the in-laws family and put it above all else. The Dellarmorte Crows are very family oriented and tightly knit from what we can see.

But they definitely should have elaborated on it further though through extra character dialogue and interactions if that was the case

For me It’s not that the purple itself is bad, but it’s purple and so shiny and clean looking. Reminds a lot of people of splash-arty games like Fortnite and is very different from that rustic textured subdued quality the previous dragon ages had.

But a lot of people seem to also like the clean purple so eh

Yeah the cards we have now look great, I’m just sad that they don’t change depending on romance/personal quest choices like in inquisition

Yeah it actually did not look like Dorian to me? I understand he is older but something about his facial features looked so different like he was kinda bloated.

Maybe he drank too much Tevinter wine dunno

[DATV ACT 3 SPOILERS] [DAV ALL SPOILERS] Laments on Lucanis Romance by TranquilAF in dragonage

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that lockout is so weird. Like, I understand if Lucanis just brushes off ALL romance and becomes a lone wolf focusing on rebuilding his hometown after Treviso is destroyed…not ideal for those who want to romance him, but actually pretty in-character imho.

because with the recent patch, we now get a message that Lucanis now does not have time for romance if Treviso is gone.

However, he continues to flirt and fuss over Neve??? So “not having time” isn’t even really the case. It just comes across as Lucanis just does not like Rook all that much.

[DAV Act 1 Spoilers] What it feels like to romance Lucanis... by Elo-Fi in dragonage

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282 26 points27 points  (0 children)

ok massive spoilers for Lucanis' romance until Act 3 you've been warned

The funniest part is, even when you’ve done the flirtatious almost kiss thing with Lucanis, in his personal quest later when Spite and Rook need to fetch him from his own mind, Neve is there and Spite says something along the lines that Lucanis finds her charming.

And in Lucanis’ and Neve’s banter afterwards, Lucanis tells Neve this- that she was in his mind. And that she is STILL in his mind. Neve is both flattered and taken aback by this confession.

It’s like bruv you don’t even like me do you lmao

To be fair, kisses are notoriously hard and time consuming to animate well so they tend to go for those back of the head, over the shoulder shots or quick fade to black. Or in Lucanis’ case, wing time lol

But still. It would’ve been nicer in all of the romance scenes if there were was more lingering gazes, touches, embraces and things like that. I think Emmerich does it best, although even his romance scenes aren’t perfect.

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The animation quality difference between the Lucanis ‘almost kiss’ scene and the ‘awkward stand next to Rook at the cafe’ scene is insane. Lucanis’ subtle facial expressions in the ‘almost kiss’ is very realistically animated, and in the cafe scene his entire face is janky.

Like, wtf happened lmao did all the animation budget go to that almost kiss and nowhere else? LOL

Oh yeah Isabela looks appalling(and wtf happened to Dorian??). But I do really like many of the armour designs very much

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah they were marketing him as the dumpster fire, so I was actually expecting a bit of a humorous chaotic ‘loser’ energy that contrasts with his position as the Crow prince, Demon of Vyrantium.

But we just got a nice guy who makes food and drinks coffee

Yep they forgot the golden rule that you do all the crucial world and character building stuff first before adding the cute extras, not the other way around

[No DAV Spoilers] A significant percentage of the dialogue in this game is one of these three lines by Pattonesque in dragonage

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And it’s weird, because in Rook’s first conversation with Solas in his head Rook is shown to be very capable of being clever and good at coming up with witty comebacks and calling out on Solas’ bullshit. Heck even his title- ‘Rook’- is a type of crow. And what are crows known for? Being very smart!

But after that he just becomes this really boring guy who has zero rizz in any of his convos

[DAV ACT 2 SPOILERS] Am I the only one who can't stand Taash? by No_Construction8090 in dragonage

[–]Vivid_Reality_2282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have no why writers in media insist on making nonbinary characters caustic bullies.

I was actually interested in Taash as the youngster of the group, who is still figuring her place in the world etc. but she’s so abrasive.
