She was honestly the character that worried me the most of the crew, especially after her intro in the game. Terrible first impression, through no fault of her own but bad, Disney-esque level writing., But slowly, throughout the game, she became something beyond that Disney trope and grew into my favorite character, I adore her and her awkward, relatable anxiety
Writing and voice acting is atrocious through and through in this game, so I can't blame you. I can't even remember one time I wanted her with me on quests.
Agreed, I actually enjoy her quite a lot. She seems to be the only one who is vocal about how hard it is to understand that “her” gods are evil and destroying the world and even the lore drop that the elves came from spirits lol like all the other elves Davrin included just seem to be unbothered lol
@@stephenvargas5806 honestly it gets balanced out really well, and the rambling quirkiness works so well with her character. i feel like fantasy is lacking in "extremely smart technical characters who dont talk like a robot" too
I remember when she was talking about her brother, I was so invested about her character all of a sudden and forgot what game I was playing for a second 😂
@@adriann3634 Better how? She is annoying. Which Sera also was, just in a different way. But at least she wasnt a quirky Disney princess. Im tired of those, since they are in literally every Disney movie since Tangled.
I like her she’s cute it’s just a shame the romance scenes are tame and bland. Even Andromeda had more “spicy” scenes but I could tell they weren’t going to go that direction. It’s a shame the game is mid you can see it actually had some good interesting ideas behind it and the characters aren’t bad they are fun in their own way it’s just pretty meh overall.
To be honest... I find her adorable, especially hiw shy amd clumsy she is. Like in (5:42) but the writing, especially the part were they got intimate could be better
Great to know that the people complaining about her being socially awkward as a turn-off are coming forward. Helps people who are socially awkward, like me, avoid the assholes.
I am utterly shocked man. All this talk and people arguing about non binary or lgbtq+ representation. And the most sexual thing in this game is kissing and 1930s visualization of having had sex. I’m not saying we need steamy raunchy events in RPGs. But if the games creators make such a big deal out of sexual representation just for pg13 scenes it feels…just…meaningless. Why promote sexual preferences and lifestyles just for handholding and kissing. This would be like someone promoting a gay romance epic like Elisa and Marcela and have them hold hands only. Safe…boring…and outdone by many previous rpgs. Even by previous dragon age origins.
because those things are also part of the queer experience? Far more common even. You see yourself in every sweet and romantic interaction between your character and their same-gender partner. Every time a trans character asserts their gender or talk about the hurt or support they received when just trying to be themselves. Sex is only a part of a romance, not all of it (and for some not even a necessary part), so not showing it does not remove any meaning from it.
@@Layn75Well that makes it easier for the devs at least. They don't have to spend the time creating intimate scenes specific to your character's gender identity and people like you bend over backwards to try to explain how that actually makes it more queer and meaningful.
@@Layn75Bioware didn't include detailed romance scenes because there is too many variables when characters can be romanced by both genders. It's the same reason why Fallout 4 and Starfield's romances are so bland and is also the reason why characters don't use any pronouns for you in dialogue, regardless of which ones you pick. Also why would they bother when there's people like you who will excuse their non-effort by saying that it somehow makes the relationships more queer and meaningful.

"*drops a plate* Oh no! Let me get, uh, umm, what was it called? Oh, a sweep. Yes. I need a sweep. To, you know... sweep it up. The plate, I mean. Sorry, I'm not good with people. And you're... people. I'm so clumsy. Now it's everywhere! The plate, I mean. Didn't think I'd be dealing with dragons AND plates. Just another day I guess! Anyway, I need the sweep. For the mess. To clean it up, I mean"
Thank you again for doing all the scenes for everyone!! I finished my elf shadow dragon/neve and then started another playthrough trying to commit to bellara but I want to role-playing as antivan crow who saves minrathous and goes with neve. Hahaha. Maybe I'll finally do a third one with bellara but I just spoiled myself with this. So worth it though. Bellara and neve are awesome. Didn't expect bellara to be so likeable. She's quirky and smart but so endearing not annoying or anything
Bellara is a pretty spot-on depiction of ADHD. It bothers me when people complain she is "annoying" and call it "bad writing", when she's just written as a neurodivergent character without the audience being hand-held and told directly. When I saw Bellara, I immediately recognized my adhd friends in her. Wish this was more understood. This game does a lot for representation, and all the people complaining about it just goes to show, that we as a society still have a lot of work to do.
I have adhd too and I completely agree with your frustrations. However, it's not possible to make all people understand. Everybody is annoying to someone, that's how people work. It took me a long time to deal with the frustration of people calling me lazy or 'just try harder'. I'm happy they don't have these struggles. Everybody is fighting their own battles and have a different perspective of life. If I meet someone who isn't capable of understanding adhd, I wish them a nice day and walk the other way, I truly believe they can be a good and wise person within their own struggles. If they are curious I would happy explain, and I would want to know everything about their life. If not, that's okay too
I like the characters but most of them seem like reskins from DA2 and DAI and the plot of this game where the MC accidentally ruins a ritual and gets a special power that makes them the only one that can stop the big bad is the same plot as inquisition
great value merril, she talks exactly like her I don't understand why the devs did that, she even spoke about how much she rambles just like merril lol
The whole serious romance fits into one scene (where the heroes' heads are shown on the whole screen) and the player is shown Rook's shoulder for the entire kiss. It was better before...
people who want to romance bellara but feel like this romance is undercooked and dry... just play DA2 and romance merril ☠️ it's THE SAME thing, but better and a lot more deep
the whole romance plots were so ...meh... literally : now we are companions who dont trust each other yet. one convo later PLOPP here you are you are lovers. and also way not enough time spent actually together. i miss DAO and DA2
I ended up liking Bellara but I think they needed more romance scenes for her character, given the size of the game. Merril was ok but never saw her as a romance option in DA2.
….i have nothing against this specific character archetype, I even like it and enjoy the interactions, but perhaps BioWare should tone down the modernist mannerisms and speech patterns in this particular genre, and very especially this type of character, It’s one of the things that often break the immersion, especially in what’s suppose to be dark fantasy. It’s a technically a very well made game, at least from what’s been released so far, only that some game design decisions clash with the overall “cohesive thematic unity” ( yes I know, it’s a rather highbrow term but I couldn’t think of anything else to describe it) I.E. big heads, Pixar graphics, the much overused Marvel snark and quips, modern speech patterns vs. medieval to early renaissance setting, Dark and gritty genre, IP’s tactical RPG roots . I do hope BioWare recognizes the faults present in the game and improves it in future titles. Some of the very best narratives and gameplay in the history of video gaming was made by this company and the people in it and, it would be very disappointing to see them go down in history as failures.
I fully agree with this. Just look at Assassins creed 2. Serious dialogue with funny moments. The humor was tasteful but the characters didn't make a trait like humor their entire personality. Sera Peebee Bellara Reskins of the same character. Another lazy thing Bioware is guilty of. Reskins.
Yeah go and compare Morrigan's dialogue in DAO with them using modern terms. Only thing we need is Alistair coming back and saying " Yo I'm straight up not vibing with this elven god situation, fr fr no cap ongod "
i fully agree with you, but given the generally positive reception and financial success, i find it hard to believe that bioware would see this as a chance to improve after their recent string of failures. i feel like they might just go all in on this style moving forward, something i would hate to see. they seemed to tone down some aspects to cater to a much wider audience. i dont necessarily agree with the sentiment given the success of BG3, a "classic" style rpg, but bioware hasnt been known to make the best decisions as of late.
@TheFoxHound626 i don't know what went wrong... I like Hanz, but OST as a hole is weird... Sometimes it sounds like ME2 or Avengers... It's more like mixtape than a coherent ost... 😅
I prayed that Peebee would burn in hell, but in my heart I knew that Hell would not have her. And she came back to haunt me in my nightmares once again. For cringe doesn't die, it changes shape. Oh, and happy Halloween everyone.
Here I think ... Bellara is Tali ' Zorah from Mass effect. Her specialty, her mission, is copying missions with Tali. Even the phrases are much similar to it. If the story was still a good one, then the scenes would have worked properly. But unfortunately not. Literally like Mass effect 2, but much worse. It's a pity that they don't understand the essence of the Dragon age universe.
Am I nuts but I feel like she resembles Jeannie from MXR Plays or known as Potastic on Twitch on some angles I was like, she looks just like Jeannie (with elven ears). Huh.
I was afraid they would make her quirky and overly lighthearted all the time, making her stereotypical adhd. At first it looked like that, but damn, did she grow on me in the end. I have adhd and I think they've done her well. Adhd is not only quirky, forgetfullness, lighthearted and bouncy. It's also loyalty, deep emotions, strong morals, thinking outside the box and immense courage.
Honestly for all the talk and drama on the internet about this game being woke and all, I can see they handled romance here better than Inquisition. If you were a straight man in Inquisition you only had two options for romance and I wasn't a fan of them. The ones from this game seem more interesting.
@@adriann3634 hahahaha it was a joke because one is dwarf. half height half romance hahahaha stupid joke But yes, there are 3 options, a little more than the 2 in the other game you mentioned.
Mild spoilers ahead The game tells you that starting a specific quest will trigger the endgame. This is a bit misleading, however, the endgame is VERY long and consists of multiple quests, not just one. The bed scene happens around the midpoint of the whole thing. Also, keep in mind that there are some important decisions in the first half of the endgame might make multiple companions, romantic partners included, unavailable when this scene takes place.
Where is the maturity in this game? Im in my 3rd playthrough, and still it could not be found. No sex scenes, no bloody, gory scenes. No politics like slavery or racism in Tevinter. Everyones just friends now, everyones accepted in society, elves arent being discriminated against. Dialogues are Disney level. And the worst swear word I have heard is "shit". Seriously, what about this game justifies the mature rating? Bioware, wtf..
So they redid Merrill but worse? Why should I care I helped Merrill fix an Eluvian in Da2 it’s just a rehash of the relationship, quirky socially awkward elf persona but no where near as charming as her 🙄
@@devilslayer3548 No shit sherlock but this is a video about the romance not about, blood, violence, language or other mature themes so they don't bare mention.
@@devilslayer3548you do know they had full on sexual sence in the first game they were just not naked. The second game also has more details. The third game also had much more details same with the mass effect game
@@devilslayer3548 there is nothing else in this game that warrants an M. If you think anything in this game is Mature, DA:O will give you full blown ptsd
Do you have to reach a certain standing before you get these scenes? I rushed into the final thinking it would trigger a final love/romance scene with Bellara but I never got it. Are you supposed to visit Rook's chambers?
Mala = you. Lath = love. Athim = humility. Mir = my. Uthenera = waking sleep/immortal. So, maybe... "Your love humbles me, my... immortal." ??? Not sure about the last bit, honestly, sorry.
@@Lishaaaaaaa as I remember from previous games lore, Uthenera can also me "a waking dream" so "mir uthenera" it is more akin to saying like "i dream of you while I'm awake" or something like that Linguistics are hard when translating all the double-tripple meanings of any language, and DA elven sometimes have words with up to 10 different close meanings, sooo
It's like they tried going with a Tali personality from ME ,but Tali was just... I don't know how to put this ,but Tali is just a waaaaaay better written character.
Wow yr Rook looks like that actor Gerald butler? and his voice lols. i just wanto wait and see, not buying yet. watching this vid to ignore my house insane ocd
YO DUDE, for a 60 $ or euros game... You mean to tell me theres just 18:21m of video romance companions content in this game ????????????????? WHAT THE FUK ????????????????????????????
Wish people would understand that people are people and it's okay to love people no matter what their flaws Thanks for sharing all this regardless of what the haters spout to make themselves feel better about things not being the way they want things to be
Romance? Dragon Age Origins was made for adults and ppl with actual experience. This game was made for third graders and ppl who still thinks [opposite gender] got "cooties". Way to phone that one in Fail-guard! You where supposed to turn in your exam paper NOT submit the backside of your breakfast cereal package! 10 years of writing time and.... this, THIS?!
Romances in DAV are so awful... Characters are nice, I like Bellara, Davrin and Lucanis, but romances are so awful and stupid... Rook and Bellara explain their feelings and after it all the time they just chat without much romantic overtones, they don't even kiss. And then there was such a sudden transition to sex, what was it?
I think she's cute but she would be better suited in some kind of other game. Again, this game was just a group of people writing their own stuff and slapping the DA logo on it to trick people.
Oh god she's like Merriel only she's not cute, endearing, or bearable. Like I loved Merriel. When she said "Please Ma Vahnann" to me with those puppy dog eyes I caved. This girl through I can't get behind her. Edit: Okay, can't put it all on her shoulders. Rook is not romantic or capable of flirting to save his ass. He says bare bones basic lines that wouldn't make a puppy happy let alone a girl like this. He's awkward and so hesitant to be daring for a woman he's not selling me on that he wants. This level of writing needs to be studied from how unbelievably unrealistic it is. Imagine if anyone tried these lines in previous titles on like Leliana or Josephine maybe, the easiest romance options. Would probably max out their disapproval.
@@adriann3634so true DAI was the real “make them look ugly” phase because most of them were. Honestly Vivienne, Harding and leliana/morrigan were the only attractive females and go figure none of them were romance options
I'm glad I didn't need to play 50+ hours to experience this. Yeah, I'm refunding, this isn't worth my time or money. It's a shame, because you can tell the actor is alright, but the game is just so bad.
For those of you complaining about the lack of nudity and steamy, possibly hardcore romance scenes, you guys do realize there must be some sorta censorship option, right? I kinda doubt TH-cam would want streamers posting videos with full nudity and sex scenes. So I am assuming there must be an option where you can have all that or choose not to have it.
The people on the people internet and TH-camrs who been crying about this game and made 50+ videos on something they don’t like made it sound like the worst thing ever I’m not saying this is a masterpiece piece but it good
Right. I see more haters entertaining this game than players who actually enjoy it. So ass backwards. If I don't like a game I don't give it my attention or energy lol these people are nuts
@@mariodejesusespinosaramire6429 Yo tampoco sacaba a Varric. En parte porque me aburria y en parte porque no sabía armarlo XD Sera era una bestia con el daño, sobre todo con su habilidad definitiva que fácil se podía acabar con media vida de un dragón ella sola
I don't get how people enjoyed this character. Absolutely awful writting IMO. The constant need for validation, totally insecure and always needing to be reassured. Clumsy and making very childlike jokes. Repeating herself akwardly but always comes off as forced. Worst character in the game with Taash.
Another downgrade from the past. Dear Elon Musk, please purchase BioWare and make it great again. Bring back the Golden Age of video games like what Mass Effect 1 was like. Role-playing games without choices are a lie.
She was honestly the character that worried me the most of the crew, especially after her intro in the game. Terrible first impression, through no fault of her own but bad, Disney-esque level writing., But slowly, throughout the game, she became something beyond that Disney trope and grew into my favorite character, I adore her and her awkward, relatable anxiety
Writing and voice acting is atrocious through and through in this game, so I can't blame you. I can't even remember one time I wanted her with me on quests.

Sera wasnt a generic quirky character. Bellara however, is. Disney style.

this type of girl is my type xd i am together with one like this hahaha x3
My girlfriend literally sounds exactly like Bellara haha so I love Bellara as a companion 😂
You can do it as a woman as well it doesn't matter which gender you pick in the game. You still romance them all regardless

Rook sounds like a blander therapist version of blue Hawke, and Bellara is just watered down Keira from Jak and Daxter.

So... she's Merrill. Without the cute accent. And giant cheekbones.
She’s adorable
Wtf? All the romances end the same?
shes so merrill coded i love her
the dialog is kinda painful
My 1st impression of her is either an extremely cheap Tali or a more annoying Merrill (something that's quite hard to achieve in my book)
What with the music with Bellara? It sounds like Pixar animation 😅
That's because they got Hans Zimmerman to do the ost instead of the usual composer they had

It's a pity that they don't understand the essence of the Dragon age universe.
Am I nuts but I feel like she resembles Jeannie from MXR Plays or known as Potastic on Twitch on some angles I was like, she looks just like Jeannie (with elven ears). Huh.
I didn't get the scene of them laying down after kissing, wonder what i did wrong.
I was afraid they would make her quirky and overly lighthearted all the time, making her stereotypical adhd. At first it looked like that, but damn, did she grow on me in the end. I have adhd and I think they've done her well. Adhd is not only quirky, forgetfullness, lighthearted and bouncy. It's also loyalty, deep emotions, strong morals, thinking outside the box and immense courage.
Honestly for all the talk and drama on the internet about this game being woke and all, I can see they handled romance here better than Inquisition. If you were a straight man in Inquisition you only had two options for romance and I wasn't a fan of them. The ones from this game seem more interesting.
Your brain dead
Indeed. Especially since Josephine wasn't companion and Cassandra got...very specific kind of beauty
here are two and a half options
@@joaopedrofer Half?
@@adriann3634 hahahaha it was a joke because one is dwarf.
half height half romance hahahaha stupid joke
But yes, there are 3 options, a little more than the 2 in the other game you mentioned.
I can't arrive to bed scene and I'm at the last main quest. What I have to do?
Mild spoilers ahead
The game tells you that starting a specific quest will trigger the endgame. This is a bit misleading, however, the endgame is VERY long and consists of multiple quests, not just one. The bed scene happens around the midpoint of the whole thing. Also, keep in mind that there are some important decisions in the first half of the endgame might make multiple companions, romantic partners included, unavailable when this scene takes place.
Where is the maturity in this game? Im in my 3rd playthrough, and still it could not be found. No sex scenes, no bloody, gory scenes. No politics like slavery or racism in Tevinter. Everyones just friends now, everyones accepted in society, elves arent being discriminated against. Dialogues are Disney level. And the worst swear word I have heard is "shit". Seriously, what about this game justifies the mature rating? Bioware, wtf..
she is a cutie, would love to romance her in another run
Does does just fade black ? I did neve btw
So they redid Merrill but worse? Why should I care I helped Merrill fix an Eluvian in Da2 it’s just a rehash of the relationship, quirky socially awkward elf persona but no where near as charming as her 🙄
Agreed
Why even give it a M raiting if it just fades to black... even mass effect gave us more... wack.
You know M rating is not just sex in a game
@@devilslayer3548 No shit sherlock but this is a video about the romance not about, blood, violence, language or other mature themes so they don't bare mention.
@@devilslayer3548you do know they had full on sexual sence in the first game they were just not naked. The second game also has more details. The third game also had much more details same with the mass effect game
@@devilslayer3548 there is nothing else in this game that warrants an M. If you think anything in this game is Mature, DA:O will give you full blown ptsd
Your rook looks like cal drogo from game of thrones 😂😂😂
Do you have to reach a certain standing before you get these scenes? I rushed into the final thinking it would trigger a final love/romance scene with Bellara but I never got it. Are you supposed to visit Rook's chambers?
14:49 can some translate what she says in elven? I really need to know
Mala = you. Lath = love. Athim = humility. Mir = my. Uthenera = waking sleep/immortal.
So, maybe... "Your love humbles me, my... immortal." ??? Not sure about the last bit, honestly, sorry.
@@Lishaaaaaaa thank you very much! :^D
@@Lishaaaaaaa as I remember from previous games lore, Uthenera can also me "a waking dream"
so "mir uthenera" it is more akin to saying like "i dream of you while I'm awake" or something like that
Linguistics are hard when translating all the double-tripple meanings of any language, and DA elven sometimes have words with up to 10 different close meanings, sooo
Do you get the bed scene after the final mission?
right after rook can escape from the fade
Bellara is dollar store Merrill
She feels like she was Merral from Dragon Age 2.
Is that voice Ali Wong?
They pissed on dragon age
I commited to neve, do I still have a chance?
no you can't do multiples. That's what "committing" means
There's no nudity with her romance?
Yes there is. The nudity is turned off for TH-cam
@@chalpua8802I’ve seen people mention that toggling the nudity on and off does nothing
@@yang6642I read that to it look like EA lied. If they don’t want nudity in the game that fine but don’t lie
@@chalpua8802no its not. All the romances are like this. Lol
@ wow dann lol
It's like they tried going with a Tali personality from ME ,but Tali was just... I don't know how to put this ,but Tali is just a waaaaaay better written character.
Wow yr Rook looks like that actor Gerald butler? and his voice lols. i just wanto wait and see, not buying yet. watching this vid to ignore my house insane ocd
I love modern day-isms in a game set in a medieval fantasy setting. Thanks dei, fantastic job
YO DUDE, for a 60 $ or euros game... You mean to tell me theres just 18:21m of video romance companions content in this game ????????????????? WHAT THE FUK ????????????????????????????
It´s not about quantity, but quality (which sucks as hell)
60 ? It’s 79.99 XD
In euros 💶
Least deranged coomer
@@slyderx239it depends on where you buy the game as well. A lot of places sell pc version for cheaper now.
Funny that the devs think that hair clipping though faces is acceptable for cutscenes.
I mean it's all real time, it's not pre rendered
She's the generic brand Merrill.😆
Merill 2.0, cuz Bioware of today cannot do better than this.
Merrill was better, imo
discount Merril
Merrill si parece una elfo , está parece una asiática con orejas puntiagudas 😅
Wish people would understand that people are people and it's okay to love people no matter what their flaws
Thanks for sharing all this regardless of what the haters spout to make themselves feel better about things not being the way they want things to be
She is the only reason i tried this game. I don't think her voice suits her.
Merrill genérica??
omg wait, Solas imprisoned you for WEEKS? I feel like it's a bit too much and the world should've been destroyed already
Yeah that’s interesting confirmation.
Guess solas was holding things down while Rook is trapped.
Whoa I didn't know that much time passed
She’s so adorable my god
Romance? Dragon Age Origins was made for adults and ppl with actual experience. This game was made for third graders and ppl who still thinks [opposite gender] got "cooties".
Way to phone that one in Fail-guard! You where supposed to turn in your exam paper NOT submit the backside of your breakfast cereal package! 10 years of writing time and.... this, THIS?!
Romances in DAV are so awful... Characters are nice, I like Bellara, Davrin and Lucanis, but romances are so awful and stupid...
Rook and Bellara explain their feelings and after it all the time they just chat without much romantic overtones, they don't even kiss. And then there was such a sudden transition to sex, what was it?
People keep comparing her unfavorably to Merril from DA2. For me Merril was ok... but dear Maker, I absolutely adore Bellara!
I think she's cute but she would be better suited in some kind of other game. Again, this game was just a group of people writing their own stuff and slapping the DA logo on it to trick people.
Why wear underwear 😂
Oh god she's like Merriel only she's not cute, endearing, or bearable. Like I loved Merriel. When she said "Please Ma Vahnann" to me with those puppy dog eyes I caved. This girl through I can't get behind her.
Edit: Okay, can't put it all on her shoulders. Rook is not romantic or capable of flirting to save his ass. He says bare bones basic lines that wouldn't make a puppy happy let alone a girl like this. He's awkward and so hesitant to be daring for a woman he's not selling me on that he wants. This level of writing needs to be studied from how unbelievably unrealistic it is. Imagine if anyone tried these lines in previous titles on like Leliana or Josephine maybe, the easiest romance options. Would probably max out their disapproval.
She's the only decent looking one out of the entire romanceable cast, and she's fairly mid anyway. What's going on Bioware?
The females look way better in this game than anyone in DAI, they did Cassandra dirty.
@@stephenvargas5806 Or...Sera
@@adriann3634so true DAI was the real “make them look ugly” phase because most of them were. Honestly Vivienne, Harding and leliana/morrigan were the only attractive females and go figure none of them were romance options
@@stephenvargas5806 From romance ones Josephine was acceptable (yet she wasn't companion)
Let’s be honest you are not good looking in real life don’t cry about a game
Omg she's unbearable.
Remind me of those California Asian girls
HUH......I LIKE HER, SHES QUICKIE, KINDA LIKE PEEBEE AND SERA
@@cutiepie6796 and that's exactly the problem. She's like Peebee and Sera, two unholy abominations that came from the deepest depts of Cringe Hell.
@@cutiepie6796 Oh...come on. Comparing ANYBODY with Sera??? It is mean
Add merrill to the mix too.@cutiepie6796
She’s is the ONLY reason I still play Dragon Age.
I'm glad I didn't need to play 50+ hours to experience this. Yeah, I'm refunding, this isn't worth my time or money. It's a shame, because you can tell the actor is alright, but the game is just so bad.
Game is super fun, what are you smoking
She’s cute ❤
I just wish they had made her more serious in tone. Her voice and tone just sound so much like a little child’s its off putting
For those of you complaining about the lack of nudity and steamy, possibly hardcore romance scenes, you guys do realize there must be some sorta censorship option, right? I kinda doubt TH-cam would want streamers posting videos with full nudity and sex scenes. So I am assuming there must be an option where you can have all that or choose not to have it.
No the Game doesn’t have any
Stop defending this crap. I played the uncensored version and all characters are the same fade to black 🤣🙄
Lol just stop bro. They don’t need to do anything like that the last mass effect i believe had fully on sex bro
Why don’t you look up the mass effect spin-off game they had fully on nudity. Lol
You realize youtubers can censor themselves the footage if necessary so people know it's there but youtube TOS isn't violated?
Really, I can't date a hot girl in a video game? Why should I even play video games?
Please go touch grass
Maybe they want you to find a real lover instead of this non existent bing chilling big cheekbones elf character
@@bullymaguire517 so they blew 200 millions to tell people to touch grass instead of playing their game? That's a bold strategy
Man still fade to black, weak
Don't even get to see some elf tiddies......
DISAPPOINTEEEEEEEED!
Why the expression is so blatant like the emotions in voice doesn't match with the facial expressions....🥲🥲
Unpopular opinion but Bellara was my least favorite companion. Storyline, personality, dialogue, all of it was obnoxious and over the top
The people on the people internet and TH-camrs who been crying about this game and made 50+ videos on something they don’t like made it sound like the worst thing ever
I’m not saying this is a masterpiece piece but it good
Right. I see more haters entertaining this game than players who actually enjoy it. So ass backwards. If I don't like a game I don't give it my attention or energy lol these people are nuts
Socially akward can be cute like Merril. But Bellara is just a copycat with the cringe dial up to max 😪😒
Bellara > Sera
Será es mucho mejor
Nah, el romance de Sera tiene más contenido y es muy dulce cuando la enamoras
@@danielita283 mi main como arquero , la saco mas que a varric me cuesta entenderle a bianca y como buildearle
@@mariodejesusespinosaramire6429 Yo tampoco sacaba a Varric. En parte porque me aburria y en parte porque no sabía armarlo XD
Sera era una bestia con el daño, sobre todo con su habilidad definitiva que fácil se podía acabar con media vida de un dragón ella sola
is she suppose to be another Merril experience, or... but Bell sounds fun
merril was just... my Hawke was against summoning demons...
Honestly, for me this feels like DA2 Merril and that's a good thing. Sad the other parts of the dialoge and story are so... mixed
I don't get how people enjoyed this character. Absolutely awful writting IMO.
The constant need for validation, totally insecure and always needing to be reassured. Clumsy and making very childlike jokes. Repeating herself akwardly but always comes off as forced.
Worst character in the game with Taash.
This game is so gay 🇺🇬
Another downgrade from the past.
Dear Elon Musk, please purchase BioWare and make it great again.
Bring back the Golden Age of video games like what Mass Effect 1 was like.
Role-playing games without choices are a lie.
Elon musk made twitter worse do you really want him touching dragon age
@@devilslayer3548no he didn’t bro he make it worse for you lol
the most annoying char ever only second to taash really happy that this game flopped
