Whenever I see whining about how "it's unrealistic" to make everyone bi in video games I role my eyes.
Fighting dragons isn't very realistic. Darkspawn are not realistic. Magic is not realistic. Demons, the Fade, elves, dwarves... none of them very realistic. But it's a VIDEO GAME and everyone seems to get that except when it's with regards to the bisexuality thing.
It's irritating invideo games to have to play a character opposite to your gender just to be able to romance the person you want. Frankly, with being able to have a female character period being so new I very rarely want to switch back to being a guy again. It's nice to be my own gender. But I don't feel I should be punished forr that with limitations on the romance.
Nobody should be limited in a game based on the gender they choose: it's a fantasy world. FANTASY.
Edit: Also, it's just "when every person is bi". You can say is a bisexual. But not is a bi. In the same way one cannot say "is a gay" or "is a straight" but can say "is homosexual" or "is heterosexual".

They aren't bi unless you hit on them, their sexuality changes based off of how you act, because evedently Hawke is that damn sexy(it's the beard).

and you are absolutely right, but in the end......having everyone like the guy before you said like you and hit on you if your the same sex, is absolutely stupid.........we are set in a distinct world with its own rules and lore, and im about 99.99% of everything i expereinced in this world of dragon age that everyone is not bi.

It's not progressive to be more open and accepting of other people?

It depends on to what you are open and what you are accepting. And maybe the better question is not whether something is or is not proggresive, but if it is good or bad.

You think it is "bad" to have a choice on how to make your character in a game then?

Ugh, Another bi thread.

I would like to first start off by commending Bioware for being socially progressive in DAO and DA2, and having the balls to provide the option of pursuing a gay/bi relationship if they choose. I cannot recall off the bat in the past couple years if there have been any other gaming studios doing this?
Apparently, from what I've read the past couple days in this forum, a select few individuals seem to be so damn offended that there is even an option to romance someone of the same sex, particularly if it's M/M, but are all for F/F. No one is forcing you to pick either side. You don't even have to choose the heart option if you don't want.
Also, to those that say it is gross or not "right" or whatever to have a companion even try to attempt to flirt with your same sex Hawke need to relax and realize it is just a game. The worst is when someone posts and says that is wrong and should not be there but are fine with a someone of the opposite sex flirting with them.
There seems to be so much double standards with people here to the point where it is just silly....want something for themselves but also demand another group of human beings be excluded from those wants and desires....I'm a male and gay, and if a female comes up to me, whether it's in game or RL and and god forbid gives me a COMPLIMENT, I am going to be flattered and say not interested, not tell her to F*** off and say she is nasty and demand that no women should be allowed to approch me.
Seriously, with the comments made here sometimes over something so trivial, I feel like we should be back in **** war times where people need to wear a patch or something on their clothes, not to state their religion, but their sexual orientation.
Anyways, I am starting to drift away from what I originally wanted to say. Again, thank you Bioware for having the balls to make a game appeal to EVERYONE. Please keep this up. I know myself and a huge chuck of other gamers appreciate this in the Dragon Age series. Please do not cave into backwards demands from others in future DA games. I am saying this as a proud Canadian, and it is the least I would expect from an awesome Canadian company:bandit:

I think it's great too.
I do think the only issue with everyone being bi is that it can be seen as kind of shying away from gelling with their strong characters. I somehow think Fenris would be a little bit more decisive, gay or straight. That's just an opinion though and there's no way I'd ever want to change someone else's work.
also, lol @ 'social engineering agenda'. Bet there's big board meetings about that.

So I consider all the four characters bi. Then I find it strange, why the majority of the party members are bi and only 2 or 3 "normal".

The only unrealistic part of it is that they all have what I'd call well-defined bisexual identities, and none of the man-on-man hook ups in the game involves some self-proclaimed paragon of heterosexuality only coming on to you after drinking way too much ale, then getting all up in denial on the next morning, only to give you drunken booty calls every few weeks until you cut all contact with the pathetic closet case. Now that would make for some interesting companion quests...
Outside of that, my belief is that 'they're all bi' pretty much extends, more or less, to the population at large IRL, barring any social repression or the resentment that arises out of it that drives people to pick sides and stick to them stubbornly because they are too invested in their identity.
Retour en haut
