Yeah - modern day romance popularized by the USA mainstream would be - "let me hit it from the back", People have their minds messed up as to what romance is even. Hard to expect something else when kids are rapping along to "WAP"

Oh yes, Dragon Age: the bastion of realistic romantic dialogue. All these haters with these dumb complaints that can be applied to all previous rpg games. Heck it can be applied to Baldur's gate 3.

@@tahjsimon9058 I mean - seriosuly - Baldur'S Gate 3 had shit ton of cheesy writing too, not speaking of LGBT themes but for some reason it's only DA that's bad XD People don't care, thay just love drama

I know what you mean, if someone asked me what type of character I'd wanna romance before the game was out, Neve would be top of my list. Btw, I didn't know you could still romance her if she was hardened, you can't romance a hardened Lucanis. I wonder why they did that.

@@SlothMammothidk, but I was hoping a hardened Neve would give some conflict between Rook and her and make a better story, I’m disappointed that they barely addressed the issue. I’ve heard Lucanis and Neve get together if not romanced, and is actually better than what they each have with Rook lol. Think I might try Bellara next instead

This was the first one I played so far; I really took my time with my first playthrough cause Dragon Age is my favourite series. I'm gonna do most of the others soon and post them here, and I'll come back to respond :)

The game doesn't need to be open world to be great. Mass effect 2 wasn't open and yet is a masterpiece. But too much open stuff is bad. I love DAI but the power system and grinding in that game took it down for me..

@ I guess that’s the beauty of it all, everyone have different preferences. I thoroughly love exploring open worlds and the hidden puzzles with epic hidden treasures was always a bonus for me! I’m someone who’d rather spend over 100 hours on a game, I guess I’m more into Skyrim type gameplay than just forced into a certain tunnel. It felt much more DA2 which was my least favourite (albeit still a decent game, and I loved the writing in that one).

I mean inquisition got hammered by criticisms on how it was more of an mmo with such big open worlds with nothing but fetch quests and material gathering to the point the "leave the hinterlands" meme was a thing for while. It's pretty obvious they took inspiration from mass effect with a more linear story based levels but spruced it up with the big open cities and arlathan that open up as you progress the story and the companion quests also open new areas, wich imo for me is a lot more interesting than the big maps of inquisition that had nothing but herbs and mediocre loot. Loot that was completely pointless in inquisition even since the best stuff was crafted too.

@@pinnacleevolution1634 it’s too bad DAI got critiqued for something that I personally thought made the game more immersive and fun! I haven’t played any of the mass effect games but I’m sure you’re right as it is the same studio producing both. It’s always tricky trying to make everyone happy, cause it’ll never really happen.

Yeah the story was originally supposed to be similar to da2 - smaller scope, smaller , more personal stakes, with a close-knit team working on heists/cases together. I think Neve was probably conceived then and she'd fit there better, you're right. In Veilguard, she gives us some contacts for other companions and that's it basically. I wouldn't agree that it's a bad game, I've enjoyed big chunks of it personally, esp near the end, but I agree that the interactions between the companions felt off. A lot of it was sanitized and simplified. I wish I could see Neve butt heads with some of our previous companions, too. The only conflict in this game I saw was between her and Emmrich and they solve it in the next banter lol. And she still makes sure to mention that she likes Manfred while they're beefing

seconding that she would have fit better in da2 and not just because i keep hearing dock town as darkrown 😅

My fave romance ever <3

100% agreed, but that is why I try to not compare other romances to that one. Liara and Shepard stretches 3 games and was clearly intended to be the canon romance, so obviously the quality is going to be insurmountable for other romances to compare.

@@FearlessXful So true. And she may come back for the next game too...Ah, I'd be so excited :D

Ohhh Femshep/Liara remains my favorite video game romance of all time, just the build up from puppy love to death breaking them apart and then getting back together despite being different people years later. We will probably never get a romance built up in three different games ever again

I mean you comparing a 3 games spanning romance to a single game one. Let's compare mass effect 1 only romance where the final scene is the same between the three possible options just a body and dialogue swap, and it also has the same thing with thinly veiled flirts that she brushes off until the point of no return where the romance actually happens. Now isn't this the same timeline people are complaining about in Veilguard? It's just a lot more obvious because me1 is a 25 hours game while veilguard is a 60 hour game with a very long third act.

Oh, thank you! Every female romance I ever upload on the channel will be f/f, I'm a bi woman and wlw romances are super important to me

Yeahhh, she's really wooden most of the time. I think she did best in the almost kiss scene, I really liked that one

Aww, that makes me sad; I'm gonna try the other ones, too but I'm not as excited now. Missed opportunity cause I really like most of the companions plus I expect the best from Bioware

@ omg no don’t let me bias u!! You might love them ❤️

@@Beccasgames Aww you're sweet for saying that, but to be honest I was already a bit let down by this romance and how Lucanis's storyline played out. I'm still gonna test and publish at least a few other romances, but I think we'll probably agree in the end <3

i think the romances are really lackluster in this game, like you get 1 or 2 scenes alltogether and that's it even no romance in the epilogue. The romance in DAI was much much better.

@@johnnybravo4727 You did not romance Josephine I see, Bellara romance is already better than any wlm romance in inquisition.

I really like Neve as a character but I was a bit disappointed by the flirts and her responses. There's also a bit too much repetition in some of the scenes. I'm worried about the other romances now lol

I just saw the clip of the romance with that Taash lady. The part where she growls and talks about "tasting the neck by the collarbone"....hahahaha it was horrific

I'm not buying the romance, sadly. The dialogue just isn't selling to me that they have chemistry. Even at here 51:24 after everything they went through, she said Rooke coming back was a "lost cause" at first. Like Neve, give back the love for once.

I love Neve (and all the companions) with all my heart but the romance content just feels so lackluster compared to previous DA games 😮‍💨

@@themessenger1871 Are you a man by any chance? Because being this emotionally oblivious is CRIMINAL XD By being a "lost cause" Neve 100% meant that team spent days/weeks (however long it was) to search for Rook in the fade and bring them back, but even despite it looking like a "lost cause" and not beaing able to do so, or seeming it will not be done and Rook is lost forever - she could not keep herself from waiting for Rook, and hoping Rook will come back to her - just as Rook promised.

Hahaha, he truly is, bless

I like to believe Taia does it on purpose just to get a reaction out of Lucanis 😂

Yes it does
