Potential patches for romance?
Given the responses here and on Reddit, I don’t think it’s controversial to say the romances are not living up to what we were advertised. “The most romantic Dragon Age” this is most certainly not. T...

While unrelated to the Lucanis romance, I was really disappointed after having made an older looking Rook to romance Emmrich, only for him to consistently refer to her as young. It takes me out of the immersion and I'd rather have the age related dialogue either be optional or just patched out altogether
I did think that was a weird choice too. I was planning to do an age gap Rook just for the drama, but not being able to play my actual age at all feels weird when some of the skins seem to be older looking. At least old enough to get annoyed that everyone keeps calling you “kid”.
That’s why I tried to stress I was hoping to bring the brain trust together for potential fixes for all the romances. Lucanis is getting the most flak, and I am definitely part of the problem, but I’m sure there’s tons of little things I haven’t seen in the other romances that could use some adjusting.
Really hoping that they listen to some of these concerns :( The romances were heavily marketed pre release and to have them pan out this way is a letdown
Yep, that's because BioWare knows it's what draws the majority of fans to the game, you only need to look at the art, the stories, the mods to see the truth, so it really feels like we've been lied to. These romances are more Mass Effect style than Dragon Age. In fact, the whole game feels like it's been ported on to the ME2 gameplay style. For Dragon Age, it's always been flirt in act 1, romance in act 2, and declaration of love or something like that in act 3. Instead we get lukewarm conversations and no actual romance until the end.
