So...a sexuality toggle is more realistic than four bisexuals.

pre-game yes it is - remember you don't have to use it

And if you don't use it what do they default to?

what they currently do

[jatman]

 I think Bioware was just doing what was best for people in the long run to have their own personal best experience. A lot of people like putting themseleves in the game myself included. I know people think its unrealistic to have all four romances be bi, but to be honest it SOOOOOOOOOO hasnt been confirmed by any developers. A statement I will only retract when a developer actually says otherwise. and Also, if they have done it, then think of it this way: The characters are amazing. Anders/justice storyline, Fenris being on the run and a superwweapon, Merril and any storylines relating to her dalish heritage (know some of it but may be spoliers and unconfirmed) and Isablea who is just amazing no matter what, and we see more depth to her character in this game( she actually makes some pretty morally solid choices for someone in such a dishonest line of work),. My point? The characters were created to be defined by their opinions and your relationships with them on a platonic level, not their sexual identities.
 Romance is simply having your character take a more romantic interest in them as oppossed to a platonic interest.If the developers made Hawke's many LI's all bi, it is because they want a personal experience for every person who plays it. That said I agree that as it is OPTIONAL content, that flirting should be the only way to initiate it, and then from that point have the dialogue unlocked for that. A Straight or Gay person should not have to listen to unwanted come ons or have the "hope you dont mind I like [insert gender] too" talk, from any of the LI's.
 On the flip side if they havent made all romances BI i'll be fine too because certain characters did seem to have pre-defined sexual identities before DA2. But this is by no means a reason they shouldnt add another layer by making them bi, as long as the "hope you dont mind" never appears.

I would also like to see high fantasy taking place in an extremely afro-centric setting, since nearly all the fantasy we get is euro-centric and incredibly white. But I have a bit more of a personal stake in that, as a black fan of fantasy.

Guild Wars: Nightfall actually did what I thought was a fantastic job of setting fantasy in an African-influenced setting--even better than they did with the Asian-influenced Factions.

ugh
i really hope they are NOT all bisexual because really sometimes it just doesnt fit!
talking to anders he doesnt seem to be interested in men, and from what i heard of Merril she isnt very...open
and if it really is true, i sincerly hope that bioware never does it again

From what I've heard, Anders --removed as it may be a spoiler-- (... you'll see). As for Merril, I doubt that how open you are defines your sexuality. I guess it influences how willing you are to act on it, though, so it's possible you'll have a harder time romancing her. However, we know very little about the attitude towards homosexual relationships in the Dragon Age world, so it may not require her to be more "open".

Keep in mind that this is a game and that it will be hard (if possible at all) to mod it so that romances will be avaliable to both genders due to the voiced Hawke. I find this to be the best solution.

I always find it odd when people complain about having more options in an RPG. Aren't RPGs suppose to be all about free movement on the part of the player character? You should be thankful the makers were so keen to facilitate the customers, whether here or elsewhere in the script.

[Dark Necronus2]

A rather pointless reminder given the tenacity of each opposing side: This thread was created as a place to show proof that all LIs are bi, not debate the decision.

We should all thank the Maker for answering our prayers.

It's that "hope you don't mind" I hate

I think it's great they are all bi. Don't pick the options, and it's no big deal! The shock!

It's only a problem if they bring up "hey, I like X gender too" - I am worried about Anders doing that. I know he brings up a gay ex-lover with Male!Hawke, if he does it for Fem!Hawke I'll be upset. I'd rather have him malleable. We still don't know how they are going to implement this all bisexual thing.

I hope its mostly subjective sexuality. But I hope they keep Isabella bi, it would be just as bad to make her suddenly straight as I find it to make Anders suddenly bi. All I want is a potential situation where Anders is straight, because that fits my perception in Awakening.

Fem!Hawke for Anders, then M!Hawke for Fenris. (I love me some good slash, but Anders is straight to me)

On this note, does anyone remember the devs mentioning that you can have LIs in the form of NPCs, who do not join your party, and only stays in Kirkwall.. Something like that?:S

No word on full-blown romances, but you're likely to be able to have many assorted "flings" over the years, much like Isabela in Origins.

Truth. It's actually how you can anticipate companions. If you can have sex with it, you can fight with it. Eventually.

Oh I see.. Well, it'll be interesting to see if the 'flings'  are going to evolve within these 10 years of Hawke's life, and if they'd be full blown romances in the game. I'm hoping that these npcs would be full blown romances.. *Crosses fingers*

I'm still holding out for that nug companion.

This game has religion. Obviously I won't talk to any npcs that talk about religion and I'll never buy a Bioware game again that has it. Nor will I date anyone who believes in religion I don't believe in.

Am I doing it right?

[Dr. wonderful]

Oh for the love of hentai...


All LI are Bi.

Anders is Bi
Sebastion is Bi
Merril is Bi
Bela is Bi
Fenris is Bi

ALL of them are Bi! There I spoiled it for you, Klace just got done a walkthrough with a GayHake Rogue with Fenris.



Can we give it a rest!?

This is a surprisingly common viewpoint. When I first came out to my parents and told them about my girlfriend, their first response was "But she's Jewish, right?"
