So I'm playing a warrior femHawke, and I'm in Act II right now. And I just

 had awesome sexy time with Isabela.

I think that I'll go for Merill, after all. She caters to my more of my sick fetishes. ^^;;

I'm a little disappointed that they just recycled some dungeons for multiple quests though. You'd think they'd have learned a bit from ME1.

It all boils down to time and money, I guess. -__-

Yay! I just beat DA2! I beat it like a disobedient underling!

Now to play through again and try to make different choices. I'm playing as a male rogue now.

Spoiler: show

 Going to get him to have hot slash time with Anders

I love Merril! She seems so innocent and socially awkward, but not really aware of it or doesn't care.

[Koveras]

Man, I think I won't beat DA2 for another weekend. I have yet to beat Arrival, too. T__T

[Koveras]

I just

killed 300,000 civilians to delay the Reaper invasion by two years.

I feel great. - з-

BioWare's stance on homosexual romance. :3

I still say bishoujo age is as much from the fallout of all the complaints and subsequent hacks of Baldur's Gate II ^^

Dilemma! So as I've said before, I'm romancing Isabela for my first play through. But then out of nowhere in Act III Merril, shows up and there's an unavoidable flirt/heartbreak dialogue thing! I hate rejecting, so I flirted and they ended up having sexytime! 1) It's strange because I don't think I've flirted with her the whole game, maybe chosen the humor/charming dialogues a few times... but that's it. 2) I saved after that and went back to a a previous one so I can not do that.

Curious though, does anyone know what happens if you romance two or more people? Is there an eventual conflict?

If you romance more than one, they get into an argument toward the end of the game. At that moment, the Arishok's

ghost

swoops out of nowhere, yells "you both lose!" to the romancables and carries you off into the sunset. (I'm just kidding. That'd be pretty epic/funny/random though. I don't know. I tried flirting with both Fenris and Anders the first time through, I wound up being with Fenris, but eventually

Spoiler: show

 Anders asked Hawke if she was sure about Fenris in kind of a "I'm gonna complain and badmouth him" way

that's about as far as it went in my game because my Hawke chose Fenris) This time around my MaleHawke is romancing Anders, but didn't flirt with anyone else.

[Koveras]

I try really hard to romance Merrill but she is either too dumb to interpret my advances or sees everything as rivalry. =__= And Isabella doesn't care about my feelings. Whatever. If women are so stupid, I'll go gay for Fenris... >__>

[Koveras]

I dunno about you but I really liked Lilley (the Coterie enforcer from the Inside Job sidequest). Did anyone else feel like she should have gotten a bigger role and maybe even a party membership? >__>

Or maybe that just the old me falling for a cute-face-plus-tough-attitude combo again. -__-

EDIT: Oh, big news: Game Informer just revealed first details on Mass Effect 3.

Spoiler: ME2 - Arrival, ME3 • show

The game will start on Earth where Shepard will be standing trial for blowing up the Batarian system in Arrival. Just as the persecutors and the judges provide irrefutable proof that Reapers don't exist, Reapers show up and start wasting the planet. Shepard fights his/her way to the Normandy and takes off to bring allies.

On friends and allies: Cerberus and the Illusive Man will try to kill Shepard this time around. Liara, Garrus, Ashley/Kaidan, and the new guy James Sanders will be permanent party members. Wrex, Mordin, Legion, Capt. Anderson, and Udina will come back as allies, too. The game will have multiple endings, depending on who of them survives until the end.

The RP system will be expanded again to, I guess, a middle ground between ME1 and ME2: it'll be basically like ME2 but with talent trees, weapons will be upgradable again, and all classes will have access to all weapon types from the start, except that only Soldiers will be able to carry all at once. The rest will have to settle for either two or three at any time.

There won't be any multiplayer, thank gods for that.

Yeah I liked Lilley too. I was a little surprised when

Spoiler: show

she was killed off.

It seemed to me that she could have been a more prominent character. I would have liked her as a companion.

Yeah, she was interesting in a very simple way, more so than some party members, I dare say. The writers missed a great opportunity there.

...or maybe I fell for the cute-face-tough-girl thing too. %)

It's not just us. I googled her a bit and found several discussions where everyone agreed that she should have had a bigger role. So, I took the liberty of adding her as the Ensemble Darkhorse of the game on TV Tropes.
