RoNin1971 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The first game I ever played a game that had companions, was Dragon Age (the first one). I'll say this, Bioware definitely does Companions properly. Now, that game had options where you could kiss romanced comps, and even go for some soft "tent time" with them. Now... I'm not saying that they knew what they were doing, because of the tent time. But... it really Did help fill them out as an actually ROMANCED character.Bethesda: Oh you get the occasional sweet talk from one of them. NOT "Immersive" !! And an added perk from fully completing their affection levels. Whoop-de-doo!Morrigan :kiss:If you managed to max her out you could later join her on her quest at the end (of the DLC)Your romancing actually had an impact on the story. Best RPG game ever. (next to Mass Effect) EXACTLY!That was one of the alltime best written characters that I have seen in a game. Even the actress who played Flemeth, Kate Mulgrew aka Captain Janeway (yeah, I had to look up her name, lol!) absolutely loved that char. Theres a dlc for another quest with her??? I gotta check into that, that must have been after I stopped playing! Not just an impact on THAT story, but also in the 2nd Sequel, Inquisition. (Havent played THAT yet, either!) I dunno if the first sequel (Featuring Flemeth) has any Origins references or not. :dry: I need to get around to doing the Mass Effect storyline too. I wanted to, back in the day. But had my head too deep into modding DAO, helping out with the section here, and staffing on a site, to be able to diverge and have the time to try it out. Oh you should definitely get all the dlc for origins :)& as much as I loved it, that much I hated the second. Non of the epicness & a story that never "takes off". Imho.Inquisition was much better, but not as much as origins & ME, well, you really should play it. Garrus will deliver you the ultimate "bromance" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taryl80 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Ashley Williams will always have a special place in my heart :O) ... and if in Mass Effect 5 Ashley Williams is not alive, I have the best damn reason on freaking earth to revive those freaking reapers just so that I can destroy them again! Revenge can be bitter sweat *puts a knife between his teeth and a red headband on*! The mass effect trilogy and cyberpunk 2077 are the best games with the best characters for me in more as 30+ years as a gamer. Still mad that Judy is a lesbian, but... Well... Ripping Arasaka apart was also something :O) Edited August 15, 2022 by taryl80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoop-de-doo!Origins is probably my favorite game I've ever played, still go back to it from time to time.As far as the romancing of companions goes? Meh. The last thing you want to do is get intimate with your squad membersThe best "romance" (if you can call it that) was the immediate foreplay required to bed Isabela. That was a conquest (very short but one no less), bedding the woman her crew mates were straight intimidated by - and rightly so.To top it off she treats you like one of her crewmates after that - so who bedded who?Even swap ain't no swindle I say.....
