I just don't see Varric as the type on how little we know about him. 

Which is admittedly very little. 

That said. We're going in circles. I gave my reasoning.

I believe that's merely result of same thinking that put character creation in ME2 after some 10 minutes of gameplay and cutscenes. And one that will be equally reviled.

Oh I can't wait for the complaining to hit. 

"WTF is that? That's not my Hawke? WTH BW!" 

And I will be the one in the back nodding in agreement.  

Not to mention dependin on your Hawke it looks a bit...odd. 

Somehow black Hawke's legend was morphed to make him look white. That's really nice. 

It is a bit odd.  Atleast in ME2 Shepard was fully covered up so it was plausible that it could've been my Shepard.   The DA2 prologue won't have such an excuse, though thankfully for me I like both default Hawkes and will probably use them initially.

Yeah; i'm hoping there actually is going to be (optional) button to create the character appearance first and then start the game, prologue et al ... otherwise potential sudden jump from caucasian Hawke to dark skinned Hawke along with rest of family switching appearances too, that's going to be bit jarring.

I don't get why everyone makes a fuss about people putting emphasis on the romances.

I mean yes, I agree that it isn't the most important thing, but I don't think it's any less important/fun than anything else.



The whole point of an RPG is to assume the role of someone else, and become this character. And as they are human, love would be just as 'important' as anything else. It's a big part of life.



Idk if it made any sense, but just because it isn't the most significant part of a game doesn't make it insignificant, not when you consider that this is an RPG game. If anything, the romances make the experience more authentic.

I feel stupid for this...but I'm not entirely certain what you mean.

Should I be crying or smiling?

Hmm... that's strange. I know a lot of people don't like being forced as someone else. I'm one of them. And I'm straight. Bisexual companions make me feel creepy and gross.  I prefer not knowing they're bi even if they are.

No offense though.

Okay okay. I figured it might be this, but with my luck I'd end up saying something that made me look even more like a tool than just asking what they meant.

Well, I wasn't really referring to the bisexuality particularly, just in general, everyone seems to be going crazy that people care about the romance aspects.

You're not being forced as someone else. If Zevran hits on you, you can tell him "Not on your life," if that's the stance you take. Likewise, you shouldn't try and force your own attitudes onto Zevran (I know Zevran's a fictional character, but it's an RPG... the player is meant to treat these characters as real, and they're written to feel real). If the very idea of someone of your sex being attracted to you makes you feel creepy and gross then you have way bigger problems than how you feel about a video game.

People who like to fuss about people fussing about romances should also bear in mind that there's only so much to say about the mechanical stuff. You can't really speculate endlessly about just how Hawke is going to swing her sword. But character related stuff, especially given how little we know about any of them? The possibilities, they are endless.

[Eveangaline]

I hope Varric is the bi guy LI.

This. 

The second we get any plot related spoilers they'll be threads upon threads discussing those as well.

Right, but...if the possibilites are endless, why does the discussion seem to end at romance?

I'm sorry but fenris gives off that bi vibe not because he is an elf, plus Anders stated that he wanted a pretty woman not a man, and he was hitting on the elf mage in awakening, sorry I forgot her name, not any of the guys, that's reason enough for me to think he's not bi

I'm not sure how saying bisexual people make you feel creepy and gross complete with barfing face is not supposed to be offensive. Just saying "no offense" won't make it any better. Not trying to start a fight, but if it bugs you that much, you've got bigger problems than what's going on in a video game.

It gets ridiculous at a certain point, when everyone is concerned about getting digital nooky. I have always supported romance / nudity / gay and bi options...but is that what this game is really about?

We have no plot spoilers. We barely know anything about the game except for the companions. 

What do you think we're going to discuss? We already picked the combat apart months ago. 

Now if we din't know about the combat we could go back to the "ACTION GAME!" 

You'd prefer that?

I dunno, the Bethany related speculation seems to do pretty well for itself. 


EDIT: And yeah, we don't know anything about, well, anything plot-wise. I'd be perfectly happy to discuss stuff besides who is going to be my boyfriend, but I don't know enough to even make an educated guess about most of that stuff. I have indeed read and posted in the threads speculating about the mage/templar stuff coming to a head, but ... we just don't know enough about anything meaty to talk about it in a satisfying way.

Which person you think you'll like to explore a romance with, though? That can be utterly satisfying even when you don't know a damn thing about 'em.

I concur. I was trying not to say anything, as I don't like to leave invitations for people cyber-bashing me, but that was a bit rude.

'What the game is about' varies from person to person, as it usually does when concerning role playing games. Just sayin'.

To a certain extent, yes. It's an RPG. You're supposed to wear the mantle of this character you've created, and it's supposed to be real. If you want to go through your ten year adventure as a celibate monk, then by all means, do so. But that's not what I want. The romances are the most important stories beyond the main plot, because they're about your relationship with another character. No other storytelling artifices in the game offer that. When I read/watch/experience a story, I want the characters to connect with one another. Otherwise, it's just not a good story.

[Ex-Paladin]

Just because you can end up never meeting Fenris doesn't make him bi.

What about Sten? You can just leave him in the cage and you can kill Wynne. Oh, and don't forget Loghain too! It's getting annoying with people making assumptions of what we saw in the first game and it's immidiately the "thing" for the next game.
