Many of my biggest laughs in Dragon Age came from the banter between Morrigan and Alistair. Seriously, those are the two who should have had the romance...I felt like a third wheel! Heck...even Wynne had her zings at our resident virgin! Anyway, I have had a couple cross companion dialogues in the storyline, but not nearly enough. It didn't help that I started playing an IA and we don't get our second companion until after Alderaan. The Jedi Knight alt that my husband rolled has her two droids and Kira when she leaves Coruscant!! Ok, sorry about the off topic, still love my IA...but it would be fun to have the opposing personalities clash more often!

Ya know, I was afraid of this too. Especially with all the materials coming in from crafting missions. But I tell ya, the only thing I don't sell out of within a few hours are the green crap gear. It's faster on the imp side, but rep side is pretty reliable as well. The fastest things are Advanced mods/barrels/etc and scavenged stuff. It makes me think that there is a very good market for everything, but not as many sellers that are needed to keep the GTN robust and alive. It'll get better though. I'd guess it's something that takes a while to get everyone into. As for the location, I personally didn't realize there was a cross faction GTN until this weekend when someone mentioned it in vent. And I had already quested through NS last week and never saw it. NS is just too out of the way to worry about unless it's something to make a profit, or using one account to transfer over to another. (I like to play my trooper while my husband like his warrior. Weird not playing together, although I do keep an agent near his level incase we do feel like it.)

This has been mentioned as one of the things that the developers are looking into. "We’re looking at ways to enable team vs. team, more level brackets and the ability to choose which Warzone you want to play in." - Gabe Amatangelo He has a blog post on PVP changes in the future on this site...I just can't seem to link it right now.

You do need to have dialog in the questline. Social points only occur when you get the wheel of choice and get to force your choices on others! If you have had dialog, is there any chance you haven't fully completed the quests yet? Social points, affection points, and alignment points do not reflect on your character until the questline is completed and turned in. For example, I ran Esseles in beta, got all the way to the end and crashed right before I had to decide whether or not to go back to the fleet or go to Coruscant. When I got back in, the quest showed as completed but I was unable to turn it in since crashing seemed to not allow myself to interact with the terminal, so I did not get any of the alignment/social points for that dungeon because I never was able to turn it in. Hopefully this is easily sorted out for you.

Ya know, I love my husband and I love looking at a good male behind, but sometimes, I just have this fluttering feeling when talking to Kaliyo on my femIA. And I was someone who had to replay DA 3times as a noble human just for the damn Alistair romance. Not sure what it is about her, but all of her bravado, snarky comments, and talking about how cute a guy is or whether someone is her type or not makes me think that she likes me more than she admits! It's just screaming same-sex romance! Maybe nothing long term, but I'm thinking it could be fun! It could have something to do with being early 20s and not having any male companions yet...
