So when I first started playing DATV I planned on romancing Bellara, because I love her. But Nadarevas took one look at Lucanis and derailed all my plans.
Then Cordelia(Mournwatch Qunari) was created to romance Bel, and I ended up scrapping her playthrough because she chose Minrathous and seeing Treviso blighted gutted me... (Also she just wasn't the vibe for Bel, tbh)
Matteo popped into existence as I saw clips of other Crow!Rooks, and my brain went "What if Crow!Rook romanced Neve and then had to choose which city to help knowing both options were going to absolutely be terrible?"
Then Mary Brithari as Rook happened, and I deleted Cordelia's playthrough to make room for her (I couldn't bring myself back to it anyways, as it was depressing AF).
I finished the game twice with Nadarevas, then with Mary. I'm currently slowly working on finishing Matteo's playthrough.
I have been playing with the idea of making a dwarven Rook to romance Davrin, because finding out he speaks dwarvish/en just offered too good an opportunity for me to ignore. (I haven't played a dwarf since DA:O, as my spouse always plays as a dwarf in games, and I experience that perspective vicariously through him.)
I still want to romance Bel though, I just wish I could skip all the fighting and just do companion missions because I'm getting close to 400hrs of gameplay with DATV and I'm sort of tired of all the damn side quests.
And then the other day, after seeing even more great Emmrich content, my brain decided to whisper evil things in my ears... I already made Vaelyn in the separate character creator... What if AU Vaelyn never got back together with Alistair and left Ferelden? She'd love what a nerd Emmrich is, and the way he's so affectionate would work on her demisexual heart. >_>
I blame Cappy for this newest impulse...
I've never bothered to romance everyone in any other game, but here I am, seriously considering playing this game more just to romance three out of the four remaining companions... And then I feel guilty for not planning on romancing Harding, which is silly, I know, yet here I am.
This would be less annoying if Bioware had made a new game+ type thing again. Especially wish I could turn off all the tips and stupid infographics that keep popping up during cutscenes. The game still has quite a few glitches, and I'm just gonna assume they're never gonna get fixed because *gestures at Bioware*, ya'know?
