Chris told us already. We can romance any of the four characters remember?

*hopes someone will clarify that statement*



Hmm? When was this? I... totally missed something.

Hello Dragon Age 2 fans.
 
Happy Valentine’s Day to one and all. We know many of you have romance on your minds today, so we thought we would confirm for you the potential romance characters in Dragon Age 2.

You can choose to romance:
Isabela
Fenris
Merrill
Anders

 
Keep in mind that all Dragon Age 2 romances are optional, so you can choose to follow these subplots or not as you prefer. All four NPCs also have other non-romance subplots that you can again choose to follow if you want to learn more about these characters. To learn more about the romances, you will need to play Dragon Age 2.

So, if you are romantically inclined during your Dragon Age 2 playthroughs, you now know who you can pursue. Pitch your woo accordingly. :wub:

Oh, I don't think that meant that all those choices are bisexual. When was that said? I mean, I guess it's sort of implied, but not really.....

So, what, we're all just waiting for the "Is everyone bisexual?" question to be answered? :blink:

I really doubt everyone's bi. It'll probably be like Origins was, with two bi characters. I wouldn't be surprised if the male bi was Fenris. Though that's only based on Anders never talking about liking guys before, and the fact if Anders was bi then both the humans would be bi.



If everyone was bi, that'd be awesome! I just don't see it happening though, sadly.

please let it be Fenris. I'll be so crushed if its Anders. T_T I'll have to sit around weeping until we get a equal love mod. xP

Yes and while I severely doubt everyone's bi myself I just want to know who it is so I don't waste time barking up the wrong tree. <_<

Argh. Still nothing?

*slaps on rage face*

And Hawke's gonna be p***ed if he only gets to flirt with Fenris and nothing else.


Does that say pissed?

Pissed is a swear word now?

Nope. Guess not.  So...what does that say?


Pissed then. :P

EDIT: And it is considered a swear word where I come from so, yeah, wasn't sure... Not that it's a considered a huge swear word, but... ah, nevermind.

Asterisks could have been self-inserted by user to avoid possible bad-language ban? Better safe than sorry, says I.

Anyway, I'm more confused by the "Still nothing?" comment. Were the same-sex romance options supposed to be announced soon? I've heard it rumoured that everyone will be flirt-able, but that seems like a totally different issue. I just want to know which guy my manHawke should focus his attention on!


No, I was hoping for a leak or something. I know the bi option's not going to be announced. :?

I love Gaider. xD I just found his statement to the homophobes who were complaining about putting gay-romance in Dragon Age. Gaider...you are awesome. Your words will be quoted for generations to come.



On that note...I'm going to continue stalking the internet for a leak on the bi male romance. Otherwise, I'm pretty certain I'll be getting the PC version......for three reasons. Content, improved graphic mod, and equal love mod (just in case Fenris is straight only).

Well, according to one review, they're all open to everyone. I posted it in the stickied romance thread. Obviously, it's not developer confirmation, but the review is very clear about Hawke being able to romance anyone.

The problem with that though is that Hawke can't romance everyone. Aveline and Varric aren't romanceable.

I know, I mean of the romanceable characters. It says that there are a few companions that you can't boink (Aveline, Varric, your sibling), but most of them you can. Four out of six and a half seems like most to me. It specifically notes "male, female, amalgamation of human and spirutal manifestation of justice, all are fair game." I thought the description of Anders to be quite amusing :P

Maybe we can get them to confirm it unofficially? Like blink if it's Anders and sneeze if it's Fenris. No? Dammit.

I was also thinking that no matter who the bi option is BioWare's just not going to win. With Fenris it's going to be, "Another gay emo elf? Really? Gosh you guys are sooo original… cancelling pre-order now." And with Anders it's going to be, "Anders? What? The guy who flirts with every female in Awakening but never looks twice at a dude? Oh, so he's like Zevran where he'll settle for a man but he prefers women and makes sure you know it. Or is he now bisexual because he has a demon inside him? That's offensive! Cancelling pre-order now."

BioWare, I pity you. :?

EDIT: And, of course, if everyone's bi it's going to be, "What? Is this some sort of attempt at a Sims game!? And it's so unrealistic! BioWare, you suck! Cancelling pre-order now."

Okay, yeah, looking at the "reviews" and the Romance-Options announcement, I'll agree that everyone seems to be (sort of) implying that all of the love interests for Hawke are bisexual. But I seriously doubt it.

If Merrill, Anders, Isabela and Fenris were all bisexual, we would have heard a definite confirmation of this by now. Not from the Devs, of course, (because I can well imagine them sitting on big news like that) but from some sort of reviewer. Some fan would be screaming "OMG OMG MY MANHAWKE CAN SLEEP WITH THE MAGE AND THE ELF!" And, let's face it, what web site wouldn't want to have that scoop?

So, I doubt that all the love interests are bisexual. I'll still hope for it and celebrate if it happens, but I doubt it'll happen, and I don't think that any of the Devs meant to imply such.

The fact that someone hasn't run screaming about the guy your dude can screw though is pretty "huh." that's a scoop too. 

And really for some reason it seems the reviewers don't care about the LIs too much (or aim for the straight LIs) so...bah. 

Though yes you're right. The chance is low. I just don't understand why they can't just tell us who it is! The world won't explode! :pinched:

good point. the only ones running around screaming are the hetero's with their pics of romancing Isabela, Fenris, and Merril. xD



I would love for all the LI's to be bi. (take that, you realism obsessed people playing a fantasy game people. xD)



Me: Oh, magic 8 ball. Will Fenris or Anders be the bi LI? *shakes magic 8 ball*

8 Ball: You know that won't work.

Me: To the black city with you, fowl demon!!! *throws the 8 Ball into an ogre's face and quickly retreats, leaving Anders alone to fight it*

I think that would depend on how they planned to incorporate said bisexuality in the characters.

For example, they could be very open about their sexuality (ala Leliana and Zevran), but I believe this was the less popular choice of implementation.

The alternative is 'they are only bi if you persue a s/s romance with them'.  That way, everyone would get the gaming experiance they want (assuming they don't invest heavily in metagame knowledge.)  Example, you'd have to hit on Anders to discover that he swings both ways, and unless you do, he's 'straight'.  This way, the people who cry 'too many bisexuals is reality shattering!' would get a straight Anders, and gay/bi characters would get the gay/bi relationship they desire with Anders.

Personally, I don't know whether I want to be pessimistic or optimistic on this.  Being optimistic just seems like setting myself up for disappointment, so I'm going with pessimistic.  That way if we DO get all bi romances, I'll be pleasantly surprised. :P

I like this idea the best. It's like how your companions can have different endings depending on how you play the game - all within the game canon.

Prompted by Blue_Shayde, I consulted a Magic 8-Ball to answer our question.
.....it made me sad.

EDIT: Of course, the question now is: What "sources" does the Magic 8-Ball have? :blink:

EDITEDIT: AHA! ALL I NEEDED WAS THE CORRECT PHRASING. See, above, I asked if all of the romances woul dbe bisexual, so the Magic 8-Ball probably considered the straight one-off romances in DA2--the equivalent of Cammen and Ghenya in DA:O.

Once you ask the right question, however, the answer becomes much more satisfactory! <3

Y'all have fun with your "pessimism." I'm gonna sit here, going on the record as saying "they're all bi." If I'm wrong, I can accept defeat gracefully. If I'm right, I am going to make a thread titled "I Told You So." So, you'll all know what that means if you see it. I'm already planning my gloat list.
