I want good old hetero Sebastian. If Anders is bi, they need to give me a human straight guy or I'll have to go kill some aliens in Dead Space 2 to get out my frustrations. Yes, I have this deep seated issue. I dated a guy who asked me to marry him only to find out that it was a lie and that he was dating a guy behind my back. I love my modded Zev, but I can never go that way with my warden. I don't hate bi or gay men, I just don't date them in game or out (of course my hubby would have an issue with that). Bioware don't break my Lady Hawke's heart. She can't go 10 years without love.


When we say, 'they're all bi!', what we really mean is, make the sexuality of all/some of the LI's subjective.  Meaning: while some characters may be very open about their sexual preferences (Isabela, Leliana, Zevran) others may play it closer to the chest, showing no interest in the PC unless the PC shows interest in them.

This way, players like you can get your straight romance, and players like us can get our gay/bi romance without being limited to one person whom we may or may not like (example: I personally liked Zevran for a bi romance, but several other's complained because his character didn't mesh with their gay Grey Warden.  Unfortunately for them, he was the only available choice.  This meant many gay players went through the game with no LI, and missed out on what some people consider one one of the best features of the game.)

Why does everyone who's gay or bi think your prejudice because you're not gay or bi?


Short answer?  They don't.

Well guess this will be the last Bioware game I buy except for ME3 and only for my son.  Guess Skyrim's my game to wait for this year.  It sucks that they don't announce it before the game is released, probably for this very reason, once you have the game, you can't return it.


Grats on having the single most epicly selfish and narrow-minded reason for quitting Bioware I've ever seen. And I hang out on the BSN, so that's an accomplishment indeed.

And I don't give a damn that you don't give a damn.  Bioware dev's read these forums.  My comment wasn't addressed to you.

Really? This is the only reason you play BioWare games? To romance straight human dudes? Okay then. :?

lol.

So you think BIOWARE gives a damn that you just threatened not to buy their games because there's no hetersexual human male for you to romance in Dragon Age 2?

Yeah, they don't.

No, I mean "How The Village?" or "How Loghain?"

If it's the former, then it was just a pre-supposition that I had going into the movie. I had no idea that it was supposed to be a twist. I thought it was explicitly part of the premise. The big twist for me was that the monsters were fake. I still loved the moive. :wub:Bryce Dallas Howard:wub:

If it's the latter, uh... I just thought it was really obvious. It was a move too calculated for him to have come up with it on the fly. If he his army had done what they were supposed to do, then the battle would have been won. Not as easily as it might have been, but there's no doubt that "the army being overwhelmed" had nothing to do with his betrayal.

Your hetero-priviledge, it burns us! Seriously? You're going to boycott the company because one game they made didn't have a romance you were interested in? Wish I could do that, but then that would mean not playing games ever.

To think some people thought I was exaggerating about the girls who refused to romance Sky once they figured out he was bi. :lol: 

Edit: Not in this thread obviously but still. :lol:

Thank you.  As an erotic romance author who has a lesbian couple in my novels, I guess I am narrow minded and selfish.  How the hell is that selfish?  Because I don't role play that I date bi guys, I'm narrow minded.  Please!

Man, I go take a break to work on schoolwork for a couple hours and I miss all the news. Damn uni.

Well, if the rumors are true, I'll be one happy panda. I've been hoping for Anders since before we even knew it was him.

My bro, you just literally threatened to stop buying a company's games because they made one character bisexual. I'm pretty sure that's indefensible :wizard:

"Even if he is the most stupenduous of men, I won't date him because bi". That, coupled to the fact that she requests he must be human, makes that Hawke prejudiced against bi and racist against elves.

I mean regarding The Village. And yeah I agree that the movie was pretty amazing. Shame M Night Shyamalan hasn't really done anything of interest since.

Seb is hetero, but he won't romance such a prejudiced Hawke, because he was raised with a depth belief in respect, communion and love.

If you really do want Anders i doubt you're even going to notice he's bisexual at all when you play femHawke because he'll only ever mention his female conquests. The only way Vengeance will admit to wanting to experiment with guys is if your male PC is prepared to go to arduous lengths to drag it out of him.

Yes, I will boycot.  Why because I have my doubts about the game to begin with and the entire direction Bioware is taking.  There are plenty of games out there that have very interesting straight relationships.

I'm not prejudiced! I have gay friends! Ahhhhh, classic. Love it. Let me put it this way -- a cat bites you, and you hold it against all cats. Apparently a bisexual wronged you, and you are now so traumatized you can never date a bisexual again. I also love the "I won't even buy this game if there are no exclusively straight romance options in it" which I read as "YOU CAN'T SHARE ALL OF THEM WITH ME" to us over here in this thread.

Look, I don't think we're particularly mean people in this thread. But to be fair, you did come into the only place on the forum which is reserved for "OMG, PLEASE LET THERE BE LOTS OF M/M ACTION" and say "I can't possibly endorse this because of my traumatic past." Sorry, that sucks. Unfortunately, we hope the game has plenty of m/m action anyway because, you know, we're the M/M thread. Peace.

I wasn't aware I had to be directly addressed to respond to a post in a public forum. If letting the devs know of your displeasure was the point, why not just PM Gaider?

Because the devs won't give us that option.
I'm all for Varricmance.
Matter of fact, I'm mightly pissed off that we get neither Aveline nor Varric, the characters who actually had the most appeal from all presented.

And you only buy games wth very interesting straight relationships, none of this bisexual business. You're not interested in ANY game that gives you the option to flirt with a bisexual male as a female character.

You're also defintiely not predjudiced or narrow-minded.

Yeah right.  Guess I'm prejudice because I'm caucasion and married a caucasion guy and I'm not attracted to men who are not caucasion.  Attraction is very individualized.  You can't force your opinions on others.  I didn't say that you were wrong because you wanted gay or bi relationships but you can bash the hell out of someone who says something other than what you believe.  Good job.
