Exactly what it says on the tin. I'm just curious.

    There are a few workarounds. If the search function were a bit more usable, I'd pull it up. Just let us know if you want to go through the trouble of an imperfect workaround. :)

    I took a quick look around and don't see the workaround. I'm assuming you switch a flag in Shadowkeeper. Which one?

    I'm also curious if there is a workaround via the girdle or other in-game gender swap effects.

    Also, what are the relevant flags to set to get that process (the romance plot) started, and is it possible to begin the romantic exchanges after the events with Adoy?

    Doesn't work that way this time. See below.

    Yes. In fact, the romance doesn't start until a week after she gives you the quest. In order to romance Neera as a female character, wear the genderswap girdle before you go to sleep. If it's time, she'll talk to you once you wake up, and you can remove the girdle and continue playing as a woman. Do this every few days. If she goes more than a week without speaking and you haven't said anything mean to her, you have reached the end of the romance (or encountered a bug...).

    Number of romance talks:
    3.

    @Jalily Excellent, that is exactly what I had hoped. Thank you.

    If Neera finds out that you used foul sorcery to mess with her tender feeling, she'll run wild...
  • LaughingManLaughingMan Member Posts: 65
    She's always running wild... and maybe she actually *wants* a woman with man-bits.

    I have a slightly different approach.

    I create a male character, set a custom portrait and soundset, and then shadowkeep the avatar and paper doll to female. This way, the only evidence of "maleness" is found on the record page. Neera romances you because the game thinks you're male. As a bonus:


    As a bonus, Neera does not use gender specific language if you successfully navigate the romance, in at leat my experience and one other poster's.

    But what if Neera got that one sex change wild surge? Would she change her mind about romancing females?

    Ha!

  • LiamEslerLiamEsler Member Posts: 1,859
    @Tresset No, she wouldn't, because in her script file it checks if the gender of the PC is male.

    @Kaeloree I know. I couldn't resist making a little joke.
  • LiamEslerLiamEsler Member Posts: 1,859
    I AM MISSING ALL THE JOKES AT THE MOMENT UGH.

    Carry on! :D

    this is precisely why modding exists. gay romances are not most people's cup of tea (including yours truly, but i don't care about any romances whatsoever).

    Nicely done.

    Honestly, I'm glad Neera and Rasaad aren't. I feel making them all bisexual flattens them as characters. I know in Dragonage I
    Alistair, Leliana and Wynne, but especially Alistair got people's backs up by having certain issues they utterly refused to move from
    but that sort of thing also made them more real in my mind. By extension, so did the fact two of them was hetero only. It made sense from a storyline point of view for the other two, but when Dragonage II rolled around, I felt the fact the Three Stooges were romancable regardless of gender cheapened them, like someone was going through a checklist and went "Fanservice characters? Check."
    Following on from this, when in Mass Effect III
    I discovered Kaidan had 'suddenly' become gay my initial thought wasn't "Oh, character development" it was "Oh great, yaoi fangirls got their way." It felt like the character had been cheapened (in much the same way Ashley's tits suddenly ballooned and she began prancing around in a skirt.

    That's my opinion, and I know others are bound to disagree, so take it for what it is. My opinion.
