Sera has very little patience for 'doing the right thing'.The final straw in our doomed romance didn't come because I had pursued somebody else, or because I hadn’t clicked 'flirt' enough, but because I indulged in too much magic - an aspect of Dragon Age’s world that Sera can’t comprehend. She was adamantly against anything I did for ‘the greater good’, and hated my diplomacy, preferring to solve her problems with her arrows rather than words. But despite my advances, she and my Inquisitor clashed a lot on matters of principle. She felt three-dimensional, very alive in the game. I was particularly drawn to Sera for these reasons. “Blackwall, for example, grew impatient with me during one of his companion quests (he wanted to be in my party) Vivienne, who I presumed to be pragmatic, disapproved when I championed justice above all else Sera, who initially expressed romantic interest in me, always ‘approved’ when my Inquisitor flirted with Scout Harding something I put down to her curiously contrarian nature, a mixture of antiestablishmentarianism, sweetness and stubbornness. The freedom to choose and romance our own partners is a far more intriguing proposition in an interactive medium but on the flip side, a sense of real intimacy with NPCs has proven terribly difficult to cultivate thus far. But that is a static storytelling model, and relegates the player to observer. The most realistic and satisfying romances found in video games have had a tendency to be told on the periphery, where narratives and romantic subplots are defined by a writer and benefit from the nuance that writer can bring. Unbreak my heeeeart.Sex and romance in video games has an awkward history. While Sera is an amiable companion no matter your relationship with her, and more importantly, who she dates is her prerogative, the rejection still stings.

I know, poor me, right? After 90-odd hours of careful flirting and less careful admirations of affection, I’ve been downgraded from ‘potential romantic partner’ to ‘general acquaintance’. I feel lovelorn, longing for closeness I can’t have.This is because the character I was ‘romancing’ in Inquisition, Sera, has not reciprocated my Inquisitor's feelings. And not in the way we tend to use that phrase when talking about art - the effusive, admiring way - but in an emotionally bruising way.
