Let's wank about Isabela for a change.

I'd rather wank *too* Isabela.

I haven't had time to play any of the Dragon Ages in... ages, though. Missing my virtual love interests, a bit.

Who does everyone else here like to romance (or wish they could romance)?

I tend to do Leliana (rather it were Morrigan tbh), Isabela (love of my life!), and Sera.

To. To Isabela. Though, waking at the same time as her is also fine.

in dao i've romanced leliana (which is the worldstate i import into dai because i like ending with divine leliana and her warden elf gf) and morrigan with the same-sex romance mod

in da2 i've romanced isabela, she's my fave dragon age f/f romance

in dai i've romanced josephine and am currently working my way through a sera romance. i really wish i could romance cassandra though (i think there might be a mod for it but i only have dai on console :/)

I...never finished dao, I was so frustrated with the gameplay that I gave up in Orzammar's tunnels. (After Redcliffe and the Circle and the Andraste quest too, so idk man) Probably would have gone for leliana like the lesbian i am

DA2 I went for Isabela, I've played that game a second time just to romance her again. F!Hawke/Isabela is truly one of my favorite video game romances of all time, especially the friendmance, and it makes me have the silliest of sappy feelings.

DAI I got rejected by Cassandra and then romanced Josephine - who I love, don't get me wrong, but the dueling for her hand against her suitor subplot felt like such a het subplot that I couldn't get into it. Plus the bad animation for F!Cadash spinning her around in the air, RIP

I love Leliana so much. The red hair, the cute accent, the radical heresy, the tension between enjoying violence and genuinely wanting to minimize it. The Inquisition epilogue where she's all "What do you mean I have to stop fucking my wife if I'm the pope? I'm the pope! I get to decide who has to do what!" is possibly the purest moment of joy in the whole series for me.

I also love Isabela and Merrill, but I ship them way more with each other than with Hawke. Every time Isabela calls Merrill "kitten" I get all melty.

Aveline/f!Hawke, though.

Ngl, when I first met Aveline I instantly thought "there's a woman who's in charge in bed". And every time she gives Hawke that "I'm so proud of you" look when Hawke does something she approves of, I'm getting a bit weak in the knees. Patient but stern, and sometimes a bit sappy, dom!Aveline/quippy purple sub!Hawke would be so hot.

What non Dragon Age video games with f/f content are out there that you enjoy? What about games with shippable f/f characters? Tell me your favorites!

BILLIE LURK/DELILAH COPPERSPOON

We see very little of them together onscreen but there's so much potential there.

Bayonetta is super shippy with Bayonetta/Jeanne. The beat them all gameplay's difficulty and the heavy sexualization means it will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea but damn, I love them. I hope the third game will have even more shippyness.

Because femslashex nominations have reminded me - for older games, Saga Frontier for the PS1 has some good femslash in Asellus' route. The game is up there with Xenogears in terms of being unfinished, but I still love it so, and Asellus/White Rose was one of my first f/f ships.

For a recent game like Saga Frontier but notably more complete, Octopath Traveler has great female characters and there's a good amount of f/f art and fic.

The fandom seems wanky as fuck from the outside and I don't really like multiplayer anyway, but oh my god some of the Overwatch characters are hot. The evil scientist lady seems like she was designed specifically to suit my tastes! And it has multiple girls in mecha suits! I just really wish the canon itself was something I might actually enjoy, because all the fanart of it is great, and I really want to be able to get invested in the fic too :( But if anyone has any fanart of the evil scientist molesting the bunny girl please share?

I'm into a LOT of games, so I'll just post the ones I've been thinking about lately:

-Lovestruck, mobile VN collection, bi-focused VNs with several f/f options as iddy and angsty as the male options.

-Choice of Games, queer interactive fiction compedium app. There's lesbian Jeeves and Wooster pastiche! (Hosted Games, its sister app, is lower quality, but I whole-heartedly recommend Fallen Hero and Wayhaven and give a 'have you ever wanted the trashiest, iddiest early 2000s anime het dudefic but lesbian' to Samurai of Hyuga.)

-Love Nikki is not explicitly f/f but only in that there is never any explicit kissing. The main pairing, Nikki/Kimi, is painfully fluffy, but all the pretty clothes tend to have crazy shippy backstories.

-The Fate/Extra series is weird because it clearly assumes the PC is male, but the female PC still gets to romance all the waifus and it's kind of great. And the sequel which has never been localized has all sorts of f/f villainships and yandere and it's delightful if utterly trashy.

Borderlands! Most of the f/f content is in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and, subsequently, Tales from the Borderlands. Prey (2017) also has a few canon f/f ships and I like the game a lot. Oh, and Mass Effect, of course.

As for shippable f/f characters: Oxenfree, Dishonored (as mentioned above), Skullgirls, and Night in the Woods (though YMMV on that last, apparently).

A Little Lily Princess is a stat-raising VN retelling A Little Princess but with lesbians and it is excellent. Black Closet is a game by the same people revolving around a powerful student council at an elite private all-girls school and their attempts to clamp down on any possible scandals-it's much more gamey, and quite fun if difficult. Both have three of the available routes as romantic and two as not, as a warning. (The platonic routes are Mariette and Charlotte in ALLP and Thais and Mallory in Black Closet.)

Loren the Amazon Princess is...something. It's a pulpy obvious DA ripoff where you can be gay with Totally Not Morrigan and the female PC is an elven slave to the Amazons. It's kind of like that.

Monster Prom, while somewhat disliked on meme, is a fun and fluffy black comedy bisexual dating sim/stat raiser. It's not longterm interesting, but it's fun.

I like Billie/Delilah from Dishonored as mentioned above, and even more Billie/Emily. Some perfect angst and identity porn there. Or just going totally dark, since Emily can kill Billie.

Also if you play as Female Morgan Yu in Prey, there's canon f/f, since Morgan's ex-gf remains the same regardless of PC gender. And as she's one of the main NPCs, you can have some really nice moments with her, though it's not a romance in the way something like DA is, since it's just not that type of game. Also though this is more tragic, another major NPC has a girlfriend who was killed and who she asks Morgan to get revenge for. (I should note here that the vast majority of people on the station are killed, it's a horror game with aliens escaping on a space station, so it doesn't feel bury your gays to me.)

Tequila and Willow in The Sexy Brutale are precious. Small fandom is small, but there's some adorable fan art out there.

Horizon Zero Dawn doesn't have any romances for Aloy, but there are very strong shippy vibes (including some actual flirting) with a number of female characters. I'm particularly partial to Aloy/Talanah, I just really loved their dynamic, Talanah sponsoring Aloy at the lodge and Aloy in turn helping her advance to become Sunhawk. And hunting robot dinosaurs is really the best way to bond. And just how they really bonded over their shared feelings of being outsiders. Talanah echoing Aloy referring to herself as "despite the Nora" was just lovely. <3

Mass Effect might be too obvious given it's the same studio, but I feel I should throw it out there anyway since it does also have canon f/f options and some very shippable non-canon f/f. The canon options are a bit more limited than in Dragon Age, and I feel like Mass Effect romances in general get a bit less content than Dragon Age ones, but I liked a lot of what there was. (I will add that ME2 is frustratingly skewed towards having mainly het options, though - you can only continue your ME1 romance in DLC, and the only new f/f options introduced in that game aren't full romances, so you can't get the romance achievement without playing het or using bi mods /still kind of bitter about that. ME3 is better, though.)

I still kind of regret I couldn't get into Argilla/Jinana because oh of course the only woman in the group is the pacifist who refuses to eat people of course she is and of course the only female leader of any of the tribes is the pacifist who goes mad with hunger at refusing to eat people and you have to kill. They did really have chemistry! And there's a ton in the canon I'd like to explore!

But man, I was so aggravated that even in the everyone in this is a demon cannibal AI who are stuck in a world of neverending war, the women were the pacifists.

Angel is almost hot enough to make up for it, though.

Who wants to talk Fire Emblem ladies with me? I got the same-sex marriage Awakening hack working and I am FULL OF FEELINGS, especially about Lucina/Severa, who in my game are married and fully capable of decimating entire armies by themselves. It's great.

What do you all ship, from any FE game? Which game is your favorite - for f/f potential or just in general? Fic and art recs are also great!
