There's a difference between not feeling it, and not being able to define it. What I am saying is that he had a basic understanding of the feeling of caring so much about another person that it could change who you are and how you think. Maybe he wasn't head over heels in love, but the feeling was strong or it wouldn't have impacted him so greatly, The same can not be said of Morrigan, as she was just starting to explore these feelings. And I do get your point about the airplane (and yes, I am such a romantic that I compared romance to airplane repair!). I think a lot of people are deeply flawed in some way, missing something maybe. Most people come up short in SOME area of their life for whatever reason. Intellectually maybe, or they aren't as handy as they wish they were, maybe they are clumsy, and maybe they are emotionally stunted....some people can feel their way through, others can't. I think it comes down to Morrigan being a deeply flawed character in a group of characters that are all flawed.
Here's the funny thing... my favorite romance isn't even Leliana... it's a tie between Zevran and the implied romance of Nathaniel Howe and Cousland... (originally they were going to have it where if you played a Cousland who never romanced anyone you and Nathaniel were revealed to have been in love with each other but because of what happened with his father and your family you have to rebuild that connection...)
Well, thought about it, and while Morrigan is a complex character and plays an integral part I think I'll go with Leliana. Morrigan kind of reminds me a bit of Miranda from Mass Effect now that I think about it, pretty similar stories. I didn't choose Miranda, so I don't think I'll choose Morrigan. I'll just suck it up and do the ritual.
Lol, okay Bryn, besides, my brother in sixth grade, William, saw me talk to Morrigan a minute ago and found her funny. My brother is insanely smart and mature for his age, even though he still messes around like me. We don't have to many games we play together, he wasn't too big on Skyrim and Mass Effect for example, but I talked him into playing Dragon Age, and since I'm doing Leliana's romance, and he likes Morrigan as a character more than Leliana, he'll do her romance while I do Leliana's, which solves all my problems.
