And yaoi fangirls. And yuri fanboys. And bisexual everyone. And people who just want to play through the game in more diverse ways.


Appealing to fans of rather disturbing anime stuff? Thats taking things a bit far don't you think? They don't appeal to hentai or furries or other such communites. It's not "ignorant", it's business.

So... Yeah, it isn't the game's fault you are uncomfortable with homosexuals.


Really now? When comes the part where you accuse me of being secretly gay because I think this is a waste and I honestly stated I don't support Bioware's decision? Neither of those statements are so horrible. You want everybody to value your opinions and constant demands for this content yet my opinion is somehow unacceptable?

Claiming a fantasy world to contain material only to be politically correct is shaky at best.

True, I find it hard to resist the temptation to correct obviously flawed statements, but it only really serves to trash the thread.


Oh yes, I am troll for not sharing your opinion. What a crime. And the only flawed thinking I'm seeing here is this sense of entitlement over this content many seem to have.

Rather disturbing? Good goddess, you have a low threshold. But regardless, Bioware seems to think that they can do greater business expanding their demographic than catering to the wrongteous inidignation of the people calling for fewer options.

So homosexual relationships being accepted pulls you out of thoughts of darkness altogether? I think you overestimate how much better that makes a world by just a tad.

It seems cheesy and unrealistic to me, which conflicts with the general atmosphere.


Bisexually is totally unrealistic. I have bisexual friends and ex's, but I suspect they're all dragons.

Having all romance options be bisexual or requring a token gay guy in the party is somewhat unrealistic.

I suspect any gay would be a token gay to you.

If your annoyance is as minor as you said, why are you still here fighting about it?

Reconteam, you have yet to prove why the inclusion of S/S in their games is a societal agenda.

I suspect baseless claims contribute little here.

Tell me, if there were no gay LIs in your party on the basis of probability what would your response to Bioware be? Are they somehow discriminating.

They're showing an annoying lack of options.

Because the tone of self-righteousness and inability to accept that not everybody likes the addition of this is rather frusterating. And it passes the time.

Oh, we accept it. Or at least I do. I just find your concerns ridiculous and inconsiderable, as you do for everyone else here.

Well if you do why get so defensive when somebody says they think it was a waste of time better used on other content?

Probably, considering the overwhelmingly positive response to this, we're incredulous as to why you think it was a waste of time. Clearly it's attracting plenty of positive attention, and the bisexuality means that everyone will get the LIs anyway, regardless of what gender they are. The premise of your argument is as solid as swamp mud.

Positive based on people who respond here? Of course. But the forums are a small section of the community, not representative of the hole, and not everybody has bothered voicing their opinion in here either.



I think it is a waste of time because myself and 90% won't bother with it and that time could be better spent on a shiny axe as a reward for killing something. I know the gay community is bound to disagree but I'm just being honest here. Great for you but it's meaningless to everybody else and I don't see a reason to pretend otherwise.

So the promise of better loot is going to draw greater publicity than same sex relationships? I find this... doubtful. I also find it unlikely that as few people as you say are going to ignore them, especially male players going for lesbian sex.

In my own case, I don't give a crap about loot as long as it lets me kill things and doesn't look hideous. I'd rather focus on story and relationships, and I will enjoy my expanded options.

Also, THE LIS REMAIN THE SAME. THERE ARE GOING TO BE NO EXCLUSIVELY GAY ONES. ALL THAT WILL CHANGE IS HAWKE'S PERSONAL PRONOUN. NO TIME WILL BE WASTED.

I have never played a s/s character and I would much rather have s/s li than better loot. I want others to experience the added depth a LI adds regardless of sexuality.

Story of course, but epic battles and political backstabbing are more of my thing. The romances in Bioware games are little more than a bonus, a thing on the side.

I understand that the LIs will probably be the same if DA1 is any indicator, but the dialogue, animations, etc. is still the work and time of some guy at computer somewhere. If DA2 had a better battle or more variety in loot, however slight it may be, I would rather have that instead because I'm not interested in S/S options. It may be selfish but that's the truth. I have other reasons I don't want such content but talk beyond the game itself doesn't have a place in the forums.

We're just not going to come to any agreement, but the point of the topic to state our reactions and you have mine. "ReconTeam disapproves -50"

Because you kept asking about it, which is foolish when you talking with somebody as obsessive as myself.
