Cullen and Cassandra should definitely be companions and I suspect they will be. Or at least I'm 90% sure Cassandra will be a companion.
And if either of them end up being bi I will be so mad. Seriously bioware should just create straight homosexual characters rather than generalizing all romance options as bisexual.
Cassandra was never established as being straight, I'm not sure about Cullen though since they make it clear he's only into women in dao. I don't agree with them making characters all straight though, that's not fair to other players
Jackel wasnt saying make every character straight, just some of them
It's still not exactly fair to the other players. I don't get why people are so against it, it's not like they're taking anything away from us. Though it would be kind of odd if Cullen was suddenly into guys, unless they pulled an Anders or something
Okay, this is off-topic and I admit I may get mod-slapped for this, but the damn topic keeps coming up because too many people just can't deal with the idea of bisexual love interests.
Origins did NOT "make it clear" that Cullen was only into women. It wrote the
story that he was interested in the female Warden. That does NOT mean
he is only into women. It could easily be that he was simply not
attracted to any men who were around at the time. Just as it could also be explained for Anders own story that he simply chose to keep his attraction to men to himself during Awakening, because the subject didn't come up and it wasn't anyone else's damned business, OR that he was generally attracted mostly to women, but didn't close himself off from relationships with any men who came along that he found himself attracted to. Neither of these scenarios is at all far-fetched, and many men and women in real life will attest to this from personal experience.
There
is evidence that more people TEND toward bisexuality than either a clear-cut identification as either hetero- or homosexual, that GENERALLY a lot of people identify as exclusively straight because of cultural indoctrination rather than anything biologically inborn. Sexuality is a continuum and more people than not fall somewhere toward the middle, suggesting a more fluid orientation than is comfortable for many to deal with.
People are against it because they have internalized homophobia, whether they admit it or not. There is no good reason not to be inclusive to all your players.
