I had to change the way I thought about her. Morrigan initially was not supposed to be a romance.
"Trying to figure out what the romance is.sometimes it requires you to sit back and think about the character a slightly different way because you've always thought about them. The top priority is building each character to stand on their own when they're interesting enough to do that, pairing them up can lead to some surprises, as one particular character in Dragon Age: Origins proved: Gaider was quick to clarify that the team of writers doesn't lay out large romantic arcs, scenes, and love interests ahead of time. I know people can water it down and say they're all the same, no they're not, there's a different story that can be told." Because there's more than insert coin, get sex, right? There are different types of romantic tales and romantic archetypes. "We'll talk about what the romantic arc is and what that character's story can tell as a romance.
So, first things first: how do the developers decide which characters will be potential love interests for the player? Lead writer David Gaider explains the challenge to Game Informer: That's something that the team hopes to change with their first next-gen release.
Love interests are certainly included, but as the lead writer and director make clear, Inquisition will be a new chance for the team to get relationships right, and make something truly groundbreaking out of what some feel is a disguised (and occasionally offensive) game mechanic.ĭiehard fans of fantasy role-playing may have accepted Dragon Age: Origins' system of wooing lovers by saying what they wanted to hear and giving them gifts - adorable, hairless pig-rabbits as they may be - but those looking for true immersion had to suspend disbelief. With Dragon Age: Inquisition getting even more time in the oven than first expected, the development team is placing more emphasis than ever on player freedom. With romance and courting gaining special attention in both Mass Effect and Dragon Age, the studio's writers know that the shift to next-gen means every aspect of game design will have to raise the bar: romance included. Whether justified or not, the idea of romantic entanglements in video games and BioWare have become nearly synonymous.
