So, the man on the left is probably Wesley, Aveline's husband.
I wonder if he is available after some unfortunate accident concerning his wife.

Well if you read the previews you'd might be a bit disappointed in his fate.

Spoilers say no. Aveline might however be the new Jaheira.

[Russalka]

I did know that, but because the uncertainty of Carver's and Bethany's fate, I assumed that Wesley surviving might be possible as well.



Just for fun.

Unlikely. Take a closer look at the screenshot you posted and pay attention to Wesley´s and Aveline´s faces. He looks pretty generic like a random NPC/temporary companion in DA:O. Aveline on the other hand has a yet unknown hairstyle and facial features that are way better than what can be created with the toolset right now.  So it is safe to assume that we will be spending more time with Aveline than with Wesley.

I thought that guy was Bethanys twin brother. Or am I mistaken?

Carver is a Warrior, but it's unlikely that he's a templar considering both his father and twin sister are apostate mages. And that's definitely templar armor he's wearing.
Why he's MARRIED is beyond me, aren't Templars supposed to abstain?

Maybe he wears templar armor so he can pretent to be one if his sister has to use magic in public or something. "Nothing to see here folks, don't worry, I'm keeping watch on this mage for the chantry, I'm a templar yes I am, so she's not an apostate"

Check the dialog. At this point Carver has already left the party.

:/



I hope the positioning of the dialogue is just coincidence because it's looking similiar to ME's Up = Nice and Bottom = Jerkass.

[Russalka]

A screenshot of Carver can be found in the Varric thread, don't mean to go off-topic.



Considering the hair and the templar armour, if he did survive, he would be another Alistair, it would seem. I do not think he is generic, as he is the fuzziest one in the picture.

As far as a male romance for the male Hawke I would prefer someone similar to Alistair ( looks and personality wise). I always found Zevran a little over the top for my gay male warden ( though I still romanced him and convinced him to stay in the end). Oh and it would be nice if the character was exclusivly  gay/homosexual. Both Leliana and Zevran were Bi-sexual ( though the argument could be made that Leliana was more attracted to women than men).

With a limited amount of companions available, of course also the romance combinations are limited (even more so if, as in DAO, not all the companions are "potentially bisexual" but have their own preference). This means that someone will be necessarily disappointed because he/she won't find -that- combination he was looking for ("damn, Bioware, where is the transsexual dwarf mage I wanted?!").

Personally I think the possibility of some homosexual romance would be a big plus for a game, as it has been in DAO (and, incidentally, I was not offended by Zevran neither I consider him a sterotype - after all, every individual is different). Actually I was surprised that you could romance "only" four characters.

What I can suggest to Bioware, though, is to make this part of the game (sexuality, romance, etc.) more "user-friendly customizable", so that modders can create with more ease the combinations that are not included in the "canon" game.

i like both of these ideas a lot

[Dhiro]

I'm going a little off-topic here, but anyway:



Templars don't have to abstain. They can have a family, but the Chantry usually don't like it very much. With the templars of the tower, this is obvious: they can't have relationship with mages. They're like a real army in lots of ways, so if I'm not mistaken templar-templar relationships are forbidden.



And this man isn't Carver.



O.K, now let's get back to on topic.

If we base potential romances on how DAO worked then nothing would force you to play a gay character. We were able to get Zev's acheivement by playing a female warden and Lel's acheivement with a male... So I don't really see how anything is forced.

And if they keep to that format its partially ok it allowed choice, though I personally still found it difficult to get the acheivment for Alistair / Zev as the concept of romancing a male character (even when playing as a female) uncomftable viewing.. 

I should add its not about playing as a gay character or having a gay person in game, the problem for me lies in the fact I am forced to make romantic decisions to a male character, That for me goes against what I believe in!! hence I can play a female character and go romantic with another female easily because no matter how hard I try to imagine im the character My mindset is still a straight guy!!

So you don't want any romance acheivements at all?   If so, I can completely agree.
But then I don't care much about acheivements. Still, it would dissolve some of the complaints if there just weren't any romance acheivements at all.

Same here, I thought Alistair was great. If he had been romanceable, I would have actually made a male warden just for that.

( though the argument could be made that Leliana was more attracted to women than men).

Argument? No, it's a fact.

I liked those, though I would preffer them being given post-game., like you get one for whoever you stay with. As they were implemented, they felt a bit more like headboard notches than anything romantic.

[icykitty]

I wanna have the male Hawke in love with characters like Alistair, Cullen and Andre it will bring lots of drama in the game! I am more about the romance and plot rather than kicking **** XDDD

[Russalka]

I personally do not like comparing potential new companions to old ones.

It means there will be nothing new, just same old recycled characters, if the writers go by that. Luckily everything has been written for a long while.

I don't think we'll be seeing recycled characters. Perhaps similar archetypes, but then it could be argued there are only so many of those in existence. It's just right now, until more companions are revealed, we have nothing to go on at all. The only thing we can really point to as examples of what we do and don't want are the Origins and Awakening companions.

Personally, I think the veteran idea that was thrown out earlier would make a good romance. But everything is speculation until we see the new companions. Which will hopefully be soon.

I think having a male love interest for Hawke is a great idea...but it's importance is being overestimated in my opinion.

No more so than for any other romance idea.

For example: http://social.biowar...1/index/5025193

As long as romances are interesting and equal, then I'm happy.

While I most likely wouldn't romance said gay character, I'd most likely find a Dwarf to be the hawtness.

I'd like to see Bears, but not sure how they would fare in battle.

For some reason, all the love interests in Dragon Age: Origins kind of screamed of romance from start to me, with their younger and/or attractive appearance.



I do wonder if it will be the case again.

[Ninja Mage]

I really liked anders for some reason...would like a character like that maybe

Yeah--it's usually pretty easy to tell who will be romancable in BioWare games. Young and attractive. ME2 had a bit more of a problem, what with Garrus and Thane redefining exactly what "attractive" means in the ME universe. Still, most people were able to guess Thane would be a LI. And Miranda, Jacob, and Jack were a given.

Guessing that Zevran would be the bi LI (if there was one, which we didn't find out until really soon before release) was pretty easy too, when compared to Alistair.

I dunno, I thought Alistair looked like he would be game for the boys.

I was sad to find that wasn't the case
