Anyway, I like Selene's idea about keeping your options open. Not for me specifically since I don't plan to romance any male LIs, but for the sake of keeping everyone's options open. Though I doubt we will have such option to be honest.

It's not that bad, especially when weighed agaist the rest of the game.  Basically, Femshep's line when starting conversation with Jacob "I'm more intersting in just talking for a bit" is said in a romantically interested tone no matter what.  Given the context, the line could be completely platonic, but it's always said like Femshep is hitting on Jacob.  It's annoying, but not deal-breaking, especially since Jacob doesn't have much dialogue.  As a whole. though, ME2 is pretty disappointing when it comes to F/F relationships. I'll admit.  It's nice in that you have more than one choice, but, with the exception of Liara if you have Lair of the Shadow Broker, the relationships that can be F/F are mostly the least satisfying options.  (Whereas having LorSB when you've romanced Liara can lead to the best romance in the game.)  Like a lot in ME2, they seem to be more setting the stage for a bigger payoff in ME3.

This is kind of what I don't want in DA2.  While I would like more than one F/F romance option, I would prefer one with significant depth than three that felt unsatisfying and/or thin.  I also don't want my Femhawke to sound like she's coming on to someone (or for every guy to think she's coming on to him because she's concerned for his well-being as a friend) she has no real interest in.  An option to screen out men as romantic interests isn't necessary if they give us the option to let someone know we're not interested outside of a "I thought you cared for me.  You have to make a choice" dialogue.  I don't want it that simple in all cases, though.  Someone authentically misinterpreting signals or pursuing you despite your apparent disinterest being written into the story is fine.  I don't think that's ever been the case. though.  Instead, we get these moments because the romance was written/coded in ways that don't allow for these choices/distictions.  I look forward to the game in which they are.

I would love it if my f/f romance was completely into women and not bi. I don't like to share.

I wholeheartedly support this. 

I support this or if the f/f romance is bi, I'd like the romance to be slightly different depending on the gender of Hawke.

as long as the girls get the better deal, of course!

But of course. Girls must always get the better romance.

MA is more of a first person shooter game then a rpg though, so role play and romance is probably not its priority(you are welcome to differ since i haven't play the game yet). DAO2 on the other hand will probably have more diversed dialogs options, (different tones for hawkes with different personalities) . Now that being said. I really hope Isabella is not the only option. The impression I got from her in the pearl doesn't exactly paint her as the typical "I want to find the love of my live, settle down, get married, and have kids" type of girl; she just seems so free spirited, strong willed, independent, and all too ready to roar the ocean for the rest of her life." I mean that's totally HOT and all, but I imagine my hawke would like to get up after noon everyday, go to the library ever so often, go over to Bethany's house to grab some dinner, then have a family chat etc.  Sure, if the writers do a good job at the romance, Isabella might settle down with the PC without being too out of character, but that just seem kind of wrong. She belongs to the open road, and my hawke probably doesn't.

I'm not quite sure where you get this, but aside from Liara there are no F/F romance options in ME2. Jack shoots you down, Samara tells you she can't become involved, Tali comes close but backs off just when you're expecting more, Miranda is polite but not romantic. There is Kelly, of course, but she hardly counts - since she's basically just a tawdry one night stand (at least that is how it feels) and you don't get a romance badge for her, indicating she is basically the booby prize (pun intended) for those who romanced no one else.



Liara's romance material in "Shadow Broker" is the most fulfilling in the entire series, but she is your only real option if you're playing a gay woman.



>>MA is more of a first person shooter game then a rpg though, so role play and romance is probably not its priority<<



I tend to disagree, the ME games are very much rpgs. They - especially the second one - are *action rpgs*, but the role playing is still rich and rewarding in most circumstances.

Over the ten year span of the game she may become much more settled and ready for a family - or not. I know I'll be playing at least one rogue who won't be terribly interested in settling down herself, but exploring the wonders and adventures on the open rode/sea. (This, of course, is all contingent on the game's story which might make one or the other option far more attractive, or outright nail you down.)

You don't know what you're missing.  It's just...fantastic.

Although less so if the person is heavy.

I'll make a mental note to try it at first opportunity.

On non-heavy friends.

I'd like to see a dark-haired female love interest. Also, as others have said, the "main" female sidekick (Bastila, Morrigan, etc) have always been purely straight, I'd like to see that trend bucked where the main or prominant female character is either totally lesbian or bi.

A lot of us are hoping we get that with Isabela <3

Well considering your female Warden can sleep with her in DA:O, I will be extremely disappointed if she is not a possible F/F LI

[Hagspawn]

Yes same here.

I think that's all that needs to be said.

Ah yes "handlebars" (if fem Qunari have them)
Those would be quite welcome

OMG I can't stop laughing and the handlebar comment.

Ahh the media... it's totally ok to cut someone's head off and curse like a mother f*cker, but showing a nipple?! How dare you! We are sinful beings all going to hell!!!!!

I'm kind of surprised the media didn't complain about  Mother's boobs in Awakening.

That's because she was evil... it's okay to associate boobies with evil things -.-

Both look nice.



I would like someone who was confident and didn't worship the ground my PC walked on. A bit of conflict can make things interesting.

I would like to be able to let my preferences known early on to avoid any males hitting on me, but I wouldn't want to exclude possible male LI's completely. So I guess it would be best the handle this individualy per possible LI.

What I men is, I would love being hit on by other females, my fantasies come true, but would not want to completely excluse possible males who might learn to understand my character's interests.

A rather tall order of a request, I grant, but what I really want is the ability to control who may or may not be a roance option for my character.

I completely agree with you, Selene. That is exactly what I want. I don't mind guys being interested... I just want to be able to shoot them down whilst expressing my sexuality so that instead of a 'This isn't going to work' rejection it becomes a 'I'm not interested in guys' rejection. I always liked that moment after Thane's recruitment when you have the option to say to Kelly 'Men like Thane aren't my thing.' That was cool.

I guess it is just easier to do with an open world RPG like New Vegas than with the more structured and story-driven BioWare game...

That's the issue really, with a story-driven game like DA, total freedom and accounting for every possible desire from the player is really hard, if not impossible.

Still, one can wish.

Oh so very much this. Ever since some guy sat down and dreamed up that wacky Adam & Eve story women have been a convenient target. 'Look guys! They're a funny shape, have things we don't and don't have things we do! Clearly they're evil... let's burn them at the stake!'

Lulu from FF X was one of my first game crushes, so I have always had a bit of a soft spot for any LI that reminded me of her.

So I'd like the DA:2 version of her please.

[Allison W]

You know, for all that I definitely prefer warriors, I must admit that I loved Lulu's personality. That woman's ovaries could stop bullets.

Ooh! Yes, I was so hot for her! I crushed so badly on her and Quistis... but was stuck with those tedious drips Rinoa and Yuna instead.

In fact it was my frustration over that which led me to wash my hands of JRPGs and try western ones instead. What was the first one I tried? Knights of the Old Republic. And I've never looked back.
