So how many in this thread are really going to pursue the M/M romance?
Once I get around to playing a guy, which is at least four playthroughs down the line.
You plan that far in advance?
I've got my first character in mind, and beyond that, it's all disconnected floaty ideas that I'll "get around to eventually." Like making Anders my bisexual love-muffin. It'll happen. No idea what that character will be like, though

This is a discussion thread.
You want to squee? Go to the appropriate squee threads.
All right, all right.
I'll finish the four remaing requests and post them all in their appropriate threads when I'm done. So anyone who's still waiting should check those threads ... sometime later tonight?

Yeah, I feel like I need one comprehensive playthrough to really get a good idea of what roleplaying options the game makes possible (this isn't tabletop, after all!) and then I can craft more characters knowing that their ideas will be properly addressed and explored by the game. I'm not going to lie though -- I heavily shape a character to fit a love interest, too, haha!ishmaeltheforsaken wrote...

I appologize, I'm not trying to be difficult. I only make the argument because I'm almost certain if I make an "M/M fan thread" to generally fan over M/M goodness, it would be locked for redundancy. Worse, the "Fenris Discussion Thread" has discussion in the name, and yet somehow allows fanart, while ours doesn't? Just, logically, it sits odd with me.
Fanart of naked people, people making out, people having sex--male or not--scares away regular discussion, and people who want to discuss. It discourages regular discussion over squeeing and drooling.
This isn't a fan thread for a particular character. It's a discussion thread about a topic. Any fanart you have--which I know you all worked hard on and took the time to share--can easily fit within the Fenris, Anders, or Varric thread as you choose. I promise they'll love it there, too. An M/M fan thread would be redundant, but not because of this thread--because it essentially focuses on your love of guys making out. I'm not slamming on your tastes, but that's not really DAII related, since the DAII-related part would easily fit within the other fan threads.

If its Anders, unlike Zevran who I could swallow and try, I don't think I could. He's not attractive to me and his background and both old and new personality just...isn't my cup of tea, so to speak. No offense to those that love him, of course. Opinions.
I'd play female if Fenris is straight...though I'll grimace. (is it just me, or does anyone else dislike how large her breasts are in the romance pic of her and Fenris? I hope we get a mod to change cleavage/body sizes. guess that's just me again. xD *gets yelled at for bad? taste*)
Sooner or later, I'll romance Fenris. Thanks to the glory of the mod community. ^_~

I will. Don't really mind if it's Anders or Fenris but I'd prefer Anders.

I didn't even know there was a fanart thread...

No.
And, even then, I'm going for Merrill first.

... I plan that far in advance. >> *cough* I can't help it. Planning is all I can do without the game.
So far, my plans are thus:
Lucas Hawke - Rogue - Fenris romance
Lucrezia Hawke - Mage - Isabela romance
Randal Hawke - Mage - Sebastian romance (I am staying hopeful!)
Rosaline Hawke - Warrior - Merrill romance
Still drawing blanks on what class I'd like to roll for an Anders romance, but I'm thinking warrior. xD Oh Anders, why so difficult?

[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/angry.png[/smilie] has anyone here expressed dislike or disgust at any fanart that's been posted? So long as its a link and not a direct picture, I don't see the issue at all. Saibh, you're the only person I've seen complain outloud against this. Just an opinion. I'ma hide behind Anders shield now. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wizard.png[/smilie]

If Fenris is the bi option, I'll never play a female. xD (I still haven't played a female in DAO. xD)

I feel the same way about Anders. Though I probably would only grimace because I don't dig the voice to much. (The pitfalls of a voiced PC)
I think they look large for her frame. I'd get them shrunk too. I don't dig overly large breasts on my PCs. Don't worry you don't have bad taste. Unless I have bad taste too in which case you're not alone!

Scares away.
They won't post in this thread, because they are scared away. Besides, it would be rude to say "GAY MEN? HOW DISGUSTING!". Also against the rules.
Regardless, I am simply getting you back on topic. The topic is discussion, not fanart.

Well, to be fair, she is the one who made the thread, and as the OP, it's her preference that the topic remain discussion based and not squee based. As much as I like to squee, I really don't mind this.
Not like I CAN'T dive into the Anders/Merrill/Izzy/Fenris threads to gush if the need overwhelms me.

You're allowed to plan in advance because you're wonderful. I haven't even named my first character yet

oh good. xD I'm not the only one! Yes, they don't suit her body at all. (and they scream, we're here for the hetero fanboy gamers!) Ahem...
Unless someone does a mod that changes a few things about Anders personality, and he's not a total angst fest (which his background story screamed of), then I might change my mind. but its really really unlikely. xD

Even with a bunch of rejections, I'm sure a lot of players would appretiate being able to express their character's sexuality.bunny-gypsy wrote...
I've been lurking on this forum for about a month or two, and I just LOVE this thread! The drawings are awesome! =D I draw sometimes too (not expert-good, though), and these drawings inspire me so much.![]()
I don't mind either Anders or Fenris, but the whole flirting thing bugs me. I just don't like having an option to flirt and then get rejected. I mean, why give people who want to get in a m/m (or f/f) relationship with a particular LI character hope?
I hope all of them are bi, but I wouldn't mind either Anders or Fenris (even if I have never met Anders since I only just got DA:O less than a month ago). However, with all of these rumors from magazines and demo files, it's really cruel of Bioware to tease like this, lol!![]()
There definitely wasn't a lot of that outside of Zevran and Leliana in Origins, especially compared to how a straight Warden could show hit on pretty much every other member of the opposite sex in the game.

Ah well, I apologize. I just tend to think and question from different angles. I'll be quiet now. =)

Also, do you think they're going to have trophies for romances like they did in Origins?

I didn't know Saibh was the one who started the topic. sorry, sorry. still, this is an m/m thread. why would people come in here and be scared away saying 'gay men? how disgusting!'. if they're saying that, its their own fault for going into a thread labeled m/m romance. xD
Ah well, I apologize. I just tend to think and question from different angles. I'll be quiet now. =)
I remember seeing one person who mistook that for Mage/Mage romance. I lol'd hard.
