A lie. A horrible misleading lie.

I say DA2 will follow the Bioware tradition to provide more options for male PCs than for female PCs.
So Isabela, Anders and Fenris will be bi providing MHake with four options. And Merrill will be straight so that FHawke has one option less. So no not everyone will be bi.

They didn't do that in DAO.

(Unless you count the 2 NPCs a mWarden could get a quick kiss from ... which I don't, not for the purposes of this anyway).

But the did it in BG2 and JE. But you are right DA:O actually featured equal or even more sexual content for a female warden.
Anyway my post was not completely serious. (I really need to learn the meanings of the various smileys and start using them.) 

[lady_v23]

im going to guess that they all are bi..reason? why not? -.-

German word.  Means 'expanded.'  In the context of the magazine it was taken from, "Bi romances have been expanded in Dragon Age 2."

According to Sheysira (who translated the article for us):
"I'm back and it says indeed expanded and the way they wrote it makes it clear to me that they consider Fenris a s/s love interest. There is a chance that they got it wrong and that it's just a flirtline that leads to nothing, but personally I doubt that."

Take from that what you will.

Thank you.

Anytime.

There's a screenshot of the page and translation of the article.  Would that do?  I can dig them up for you and post them, if you like.

It's not online I'm afraid. There is a full translation of the relevant parts in the m/m thread. I'll try and find it and edit this with a link ...

I've got the translation right now, give me a minute, and I'll edit in the screenshot.

Translation/dissection of article by Sheysira:

I'm back and it says indeed expanded and the way they wrote it makes it clear to me that they consider Fenris a s/s love interest. There is a chance that they got it wrong and that it's just a flirtline that leads to nothing, but personally I doubt that.

There is a screenshot of Fenris sitting with Hawk at a table, and Fenris' subtitles read:

Hätte ich gewusst, dass Anso einen derart fähigen Mann findet, hätte ich ihn vielleicht früher gebeten, sich umzusehen.

Had I known that Anso would find such an able man, I might have asked him sooner to look.

The dialog wheel gives 3 options, it's set to the first one which displays the heart symbol.

1. Ihr Schmeichler. / You flatterer.

2.Ich helfe Euch gerne. / I'm glad to help you.

3. Ich bin nicht interessiert. / I'm not interested.

Under the screenshot the writer put this:

DasHerz zeigt: Hawke und Fenris können eine romantische Unterhaltung beginnen. Die Optionen für gleichgeschlechtliche Liebe wurden aufgestockt.

The heart shows: Hawke and Fenris can start a romantic concersation. The options for same sex love were expanded.

(Hawke is the one who gets to say he's not interested!!! Of course, Fenris next line after that could be him saying he didn't mean it that way, but I think that would be waste of dialog content...)

I found only one more thing in the article that could be interesting for this thread.Explaning the storytelling of the game and going on about how Varricnarrates what's happening and how Kirkwall is changing over time according to one's decisions, they wrote this:

"Depending on whatyou decide in key situations, which business and sexual partners you choose and on how you react in the mass of throughout excellent written respectively spoken dialogs, Varric describes your Hawke ultimately as celebrated folk hero or feared "Wutbürger" (This can't be translated, it's a weird newly created German fashion word, it means basically an angry citizen who's getting eager to protest and rebel because the political system sucks, according to wikipedia. I assume the author just wanted to use an interesting word.)

This time the focus doesn't lie so much on description of epic battles, but the emotional believable tale of lusts and troubles of the playercharacters."

So much for "dumbing down the rpg and turning it into a hack n' slash fest. *does a happy dance*

The LIs seem to play a more impotant role this time and just maybe that and the "expanded options" are part of the reason the LI details are such a mystery.

It's funny, I'm a completely straight male, and you have have no idea how much I want both male LIs to be bi - if only to make up for the absence of m/m stuff in Mass Effect.

If they're all bi, then that's.......that's just fine....

[MorningBird]

Sorry to double-post, but I found the screenshot of the full page.

*GONE*

Here's a link to my epic post of rampant speculation HARD FACTS I've been updating with all the little ******-bits of info that we're basing our baseless hope utter faith on.

In addition, someone emailed the editor of the M! magazine review asking for clarification. This is what he replied:

Regarding the romance with Fenris: For the test game we only flirted with him. Increased/expanded were the options in so far as this time we could now hit on far more men with our male Hawke than with our Grey Warden in the first part (among others Anders who definitely flirts back). Even outside of the party (city guards in Kirkwall) this is possible. To my knowledge, in DA:O M/M only worked with that Elven assassin from Antiva (forgot the name). A full-fledged F/F relationship is definitly possible with Isabela. I hope this helps for starters. We'll see... maybe we will bring a DA2 flirt special soon, just like we did for Mass Effect 2.

Edit: MorningBird - you're not supposed to post scans of articles.

AUFGESTOCKT means "have been added" according to my German friend. She's been living in Australia for ages, though, so it's possible meaning has changed? But Has Been Added is significantly different to Expanded IYKWIM...

[Addai]

@MorningBird, thanks very much! I take it the whole article isn't available online anywhere. The caption is pretty convincing, assuming the article is accurate. What's the publication?

Thanks catabuca, I was looking for that.

@Addai67: Sorry, I'm not sure who published it.  You'd have to ask Shey, as it was her magazine! D:

I vote YES, and I would be very pleased if it were true. <3

[AtreiyaN7]

I voted no. I think two of them will be bi and two will be hetero like DA:O.

[highcastle]

I wish they were all bi, but I'm going to put my money on no. That way, come the 8th (or earlier, assuming a leak) I'll either be right or pleasantly surprised.

[elirian_19]

Um... MorningBird, hun. You need to take that scan away.

Mmmmm? Indeed, if she says so. Then again if there're several meanings to it... argh, I don't know!
Edit: Yes, MB, please take it off.

We've asked native speakers, and they have assured us that in this context it means 'increased', and the only possible translation (again, in this context) is that there are more of them.
