It confirms they're all bi because it doesn't say that they arn't all bi.

Obviously.

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.

It's right there.

Because it tells you who you can romance. 

Yeah ? But it does'nt tell you can romance them whether you're male or female Hawke...

Exactly. There are no contraints because they're not mentioned. You can choose to romance X. That's all there is to it.

Which obviously makes them all romancable for everyone.

Obviously.

Oh.  So it's pure speculation then. Darn.

[Wirbelwind]

Oh. Ho. Hmmm...

Well that's one way to interpret it, and certainly it would be cool if you're right but until a dev confirms it, I think I won't take it for granted. Still, thank you for the explanation. Both of you.

This is a post that's "open to interpretation," because the information isn't printed in ALLCAPSBOLD. But, it's a tacit confirmation of "they're all bi." Mr. Priestly says "You can choose any of these." Not, "You can choose any of these, gender permitting." "Pitch your woo accordingly," he says, not "Pitch your woo and hope that the orientation works out."

I think that his is a very carefully worded post. If the romances were constrained by gender, it would be worded very differently. That Mr. Priestly says what he does is a confirmation for those of us astute enough and brave enough not to need it spelled out for us.

In addition, there's this post by a forumite, quoting a pre-release review of the game (emphasis mine):

Rabenstein wrote...

...

... DA2's romantic options are unconstrained. You meet a party member chances are you can bone them
(your sibling is an fortunate exception) Male, female, amalgamation of human and spirutal manifestation of justice, all are fair game....

...

Though the reviewer isn't the most mature member of the journalistic community (bone them? really? only fans get to talk like that. it's a review, be professional), the substance of the quote is quite clear.

So, that's why they're all bi. Rather, that's how we know they're all bi. A lot of people, whether through fear of disappointment or just pure negativity (*cough*Maelora*cough*), are not satisfied with this evidence. Indeed, many refuse to even step across the line of "Okay, it seems like it MIGHT be true." Somehow, some folks are happier believing that all we gays get is Kelly Chambers.

I don't understand those people.

It's all right there, folks. Ignore if you'd like, but you'll be tarred and feathered in my "I Told You So" thread when the game's released.

Quoting this.

Oh. Well of course.

I posted an analysis a while back that went into a bit more detail than that =P In the end I'm always right, full stop.

Anyways. Everyone is BI.

And want the game now. D:

Awww.... now I have to find something else to fill up my time until the demo and/or March 8. I didn't appreciate it, but it did make for good stuff to kill time with and pass around some lulz in the occasional comment or two.

I give you permission to do what you did, as long as you don't make it a personal attack on me or twist my words around so much you become blind to what was said.

[wulfsturm]

Obviously a well thought-out analysis by a fan of the game makes all of the LIs confirmed to be bi.



Yep.

Ah sorry if you felt I was twisting your words. 

I just disike it when people use loaded terms "homophobic, racist, inhumane." when the situation doesn't callfor it

Nope. The confirmation of the romance options is what makes them all bi.

ishmaeltheforsaken has her own inside source that she meets with in shady back alleys. They both wear trench coats, and they usually must fight their way through a vast, seething horde of ninja pirate monkeys. It's risky, but ishmael does it for the benefit of all of us fans. Without ishmael, all is lost.

Ishmael I believe this is the true way you got that info, not through your analysis, which came way after this event

At first I was going to say it sounded like wishful thinking. But that ^^^ certainly looks good for the "all bi LI" front.  Tenatively hopeful!

I stand by my inhumane rants from yesterday! well, for Kirkwall anyway. Elven mages probably have it really bad sadly, even if the FE of the Kirkwall circle is Elven

Absolutely. 

The facts are that these four companions have been confirmed as straight LIs.

Bioware have not mentioned which, if any, are same-gendered.  Why they have not done this is anyone's guess. 

Many forum posters have decided this means they are all available for any gender. 

The above are facts.  The following is merely supposition.

I think one of two things will happen: 

1) they are indeed all bisexual - that would be awesome but I think I'll wait until it's confirmed.

2) the gay romances will be a Kelly Chambers character as with ME2. Or more specifically, a longer version of the 'Sweet Iona'/'Sweet Dairren' situation from the Human Noble origin.

However, you will get dogpiled if you dare suggest this to the regulars.

Lol, I have seen you are so wrong that I would at least doublecheck anything you say, or best just skip it.

I will say this. I hope to sweet Bleeding ancestors and Maker on High that they don't do another Fade trip like in Broken Circle. The first time it was fun, but after that it just got old and old and old. and I have the PS3 version of DA:O so no mod for me to skip it
