Former 'Dragon Age' Writer Reveals the "Ideal Dates" for In-Game Romance Options

Though David Gaider is no longer with BioWare, the creator behind some of our favourite characters in the Dragon Age universe is back and sharing with fans what some of our favorite love interests from the beloved RPG franchise would want for an "ideal" date on Valentine's Day. As a hardcore Dragon Age fan girl (and I will protect Fenris with my life), I couldn't just not write this on the day of love!

Whether you favor our favorite broody elf or prefer a bit more blushing with Alistair or Cassandra, here is what the talented writer had to say about some of our favorite characters:

Alistair's would probably start off as something which seems lame - like he takes you bowling. Then you realize he's rented the entire place, because he remembered your anniversary, and has it all set up with candles so he can clumsily serenade you while blushing the entire time. //t.co/Y3ic7ypiX8

Fenris's dream date would probably involve raiding a magister's Tevinter mansion, and then - excited like a schoolboy - he demonstrates his latest choreography for you amidst the ruins. Plus, he brought wine.

Dorian's dream date would be some elaborate extravaganza which you both decide to ditch halfway through to head down to the worst dive in the city. There you end up in a big fight with sailors. Who you then drink shots with after the fight's over until you all pass out.

Zevran's dream date would involve him taking you on a tour of Antiva while he plays a mandolin. All the locals seem to know him and bring out cakes and other delightful treats. Eventually it turns out to be the lead-up to an assassination. After the fight, he apologizes with sex.

Cassandra's date is taking you to a play of Varric's first novel. Her delight is palpable. You arranged to have her dragged on stage to play a character... at first she protests , but then plays the part perfectly. After, you walk along the pier while she talks about her dreams.

Morrigan's dream date is taking you to break into a tomb full of musty tomes. You read passages to each other while she laughs at your interpretations of the text. As you're leaving, she suddenly remembers to tell you she had a lovely time. You're not allowed to call it a date.

If you really wanted some fireworks, go Anders *insert winking emoji here followed by a loud "DAMMIT, ANDERS*
