You're an NPC in a RPG, how long does it take to get you in bed?

[Chefodeath]

So say you're one of the close party characters in a roleplaying game like Dragon Age or Mass Effect. Not only do you kick some pretty tight ass in battle, but you have your own personal backstory and motives based on your life that influences your interaction with the head of your party, the player character.

So what kind of conversation options and actions does the main character have to say to learn more about you, garner favor, or to garner disfavor? How long until you reveal something personal? How long until your side quest becomes available? How long until the player inevitably gets you to sleep with him/her?

Also for those interested, feel free to put down other details for your npc self life profession, battle stats, whatever.

I would be the grumpy, sarcastic, slightly misanthropic rogue who's area of expertise is ranged combat, bows or firearms depending on the setting. The one who's always making snarky comments when the PC is trying to get to the heart of earth-shattering revelations. For the PC to get me to open up they'd have to start calling me out on my bullshit and then we'd go through the whole "It's a defence mechanism, I'm really just emotionally vulnerable" schtick until the fangirls are baying for me. They'd be all over my misunderstood roguish charm and emotional vulnerability and shit, yeah?

I'd probably then sleep with the PC once I actually got my head around the idea that another living being considered me vaguely desirable.

50 gold. What? I have a family to feed....

As the snarky, but still kind of thick, Rogue it would be hard to romance me if only because the words "I want to have sex with you" would actually need to be spoken in order for me to get the point.

...I can be very thick sometimes about emotional matters.

Heroine - "Here, have a beer"

Me - "Take me now, i'm all yours"

No, seriously.

We're fighting creatures of flesh rendering doom, you really think i'd pass up a beer and sex?

All that would be missing is a curry afterwards.

Plus if I did a decent enough sex scene imagine the forum press my pixelated character would get. I'd be an animated (porn)star.

 

[LongAndShort]

The hero would get me with alcohol, not asking stupid questions about the universe THAT EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS (I'm looking at you Dragon Age: Origins) and a tolerance of my constant and casual use of sarcasm. If she (assuming I'm still a straight male) laughs at my sarcastic sense of humour, well shit, we would not have to wait long.

I'd be some sort of facetious, observant marksman... prolly a sniper so I could do my shizzle from a relatively safe distance. Conversations with the PC wouldn't yield much information on myself, though I'd like to think it'd be entertaining nonetheless. To get in my good books, they'd need to show an interest in philosophy or the arts - always good conversation starters anyway.
No romance subplot or side mission; I'm tagging along to save the universe here dammit, not for anyone to get in my pants.

If Bioware occurs, probably after around 3 conversations, doesn't matter what gender

derp herp

 

[Suicida1 Midget]

The guy who did the organizations wetwork, seasoned and demoted cause i disobeyed orders to protect and save ppl. Losing faith in the organization, ill be the one who goes all in and ends it with a bang. Not much of a talker to boot. Consisting of get er ass back in gear, or possible intel, just never letting on to what i can do, so latter i can shock and amaze them.

 

[SilentCom]

I would be the kind of npc with very little dialogue options and only a few super-secret special dialogue options to discover my backstory. Intimacy will not occur between the main character and npc me.
