I was playing through and hoping to romance Aveline, but apparently I can't. Then why give me the option to flirt?
Overall really enjoying the game but why?
Dragon Age II
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Mar 08, 2011
This sequel to Dragon Age: Origins features faster combat, a new art style, and a brand new, fully voiced main character named Hawke.
So wait I can't romance Aveline?
" @Enigma777: Can't resist red head, also green eye. "Hahahaha. I love your fortitude in this matter.
I agree completely. Neither of the female romances are the "Take Home to Meet Mom" type. Merrill is a bit more innocent, but that whole blood mage thing.... Yikes.

Generally speaking, I have an innate reflex that prevents me from flirting with people whom I do not wish to marry. It's horrible. :P
Joking aside, it is a shame. She's one of my favourite BioWare characters.
@CL60: I know, same bullshit with Kasumi in ME2.
""She has another love interest that isn't Hawke.
The quest where you find that out is absolutely hilarious if you have Varric in your party out the time.
Also, I saw some flirt options talking to her, didn't use them but I take she just turns you down/gets offended?
Aveline can't be romanced. I'm kinda disappointed with the lack of options in the game. Total of 4, 5 if you get the Prince DLC. I wanted to bang them all! XD
Considering that you can sex roughly half your party, man or woman, I don't consider it an especially great loss to not be able to romance Aveline. She's a good tank and an alright character, but would you really want an awkwardly animated sex scene with her? There's the slutty pirate chick, the wide eyed elf girl (who is also a blood mage), the pathos filled elf man, and the pathos filled possessed mage if you want action.
" @ArbitraryWater: Well, Zevran did offer, and I agreed to take him up on it. But then Merril (already moved into the estate) coughed very unapprovingly and that was that. Guessing if your romance partner isn't in the active party, it can work out. "
Only coughed unapprovingly? For me she pretty much told him to shut up.
I think the exact words were 'I think we've heard enough out of you!'
If BioWare isn't horrible for making 4 romance options who are available to both sexes, they're horrible for not making every character in the party (and the entire supporting cast) romance options. Maybe Aveline thinks Hawke is fucking ugly? Maybe she feels the same way about your come ons as you do about the gay guys hitting on you? Not everything is a win.
And really, complaints that they allow you to make an ass of yourself of your own volition is hilarious. Either people get mad that BioWare does too much handholding for your dialogue, or pissed that they didn't do enough.
" @ArbitraryWater: Well, Zevran did offer, and I agreed to take him up on it. But then Merril (already moved into the estate) coughed very unapprovingly and that was that. Guessing if your romance partner isn't in the active party, it can work out. "If your romance partner is Isabella, not only can you still take up Zevran's offer, she'll join the party.
Which is an inverse of the situation in Origins, where Zevran is the party member and Isabella is offering the threesome.
" @SmashedControllers:Well, here everyone except a noble prince go both ways. You can always fuck Fenris. "Fenris was great... :-)
" @Ghostiet: Can't really do the gay thing, Isabla's a slut and Merrill's a blood mage So I guess I'll have to wait for my female run through for the achievement. "Eh...I don't know...sluts have a certain appeal.

Except...if you have a romantic interest in your party they tell him off."Hell, you can even flirt with Zevran when he shows up for his obligatory cameo, though I don't think anything comes out of it.
" @natalie516 said:;-) Like I said...they have a certain appeal...you barely have to romance her." @SmashedControllers said:They fuck. That's gotta be something.

I tried getting Merrill and Aveline but wasn't even able to start the romance on either of them. It's funny because all the other women you meet in the game even Meredith are better looking than those two.
" @ArbitraryWater said:Weird I tried so FUCKING hard to get him to sleep with me, i had, Had Ander's first playthrough so Fenris was gunna be second but he still wouldn't go for it, even after I had given him his gift and talked to him the way I was supposed too..."

So with Fenris at 100% friend I just cut my losses and flirted it up with everyone else and vastly improved my relationships and fell back in with Anders. XD Old habits die hard.
