ARE PLAYERS ALLOWED TO  EXPRESS OPNIONS OR EVEN OBJECTIONS TOWARDS CONTROVERSIAL SOCIAL SUBJECT MATTER THAT MAY BE FOUND IN DRAGON AGE ORIGINS AND DRAGON AGE 2? (E.G. BISEXIUAL RELATIONSHIPS OPTIONS, ETC)

By the way, i am the type to express my frank opinions in a straight forward but polite and respectful manner. PLEASE DO NOT BANNE ME.

[BrookerT]

Maybe, depending on how civil you are. Plus tip, if you use capitals then your post looks like troll spam, even if its not.

If you really want to know, PM a moderator, unless you want this specific thread to talk about the topics.

[Get Magna Carter]

one, please don't shout

two, if your views are stated in an offensive manner then they could lead to a ban,
polite and respectful shouldn't ...however there is some room for subjectivity in determining what is polite and what is rude...and an extreme viewpoint could be offensive no matter how politely it is phrased (though I believe such viewpoints would not qualify as respectful)

[LolaLei]

Yeah the big shouty letters make you come across as aggressive.

[chunkyman]

Guys, don't be so critical of him. Maybe he's deaf and doesn't know how loud he is.

[lx_theo]

It seems EA and/or Bioware only act against discussions like that if it uses hate speech instead of an actual discussion on the topic.

Which should be a no no anyways.

As long as you are polite and acknowledge the fact that not anyone will agree with you.

Or you could be one of three people to actually read through ToS regardging expected forum behavior.

If I politely say that I don't want a bisexual love interest because bisexuals are unnatural, perverted, and carry diseases, I'd still get a ban.

You can be polite and still violate the code of conduct.

Don't.

Just don't.

No one who starts a thread of this nature and types this sort of question in all caps has the social acumen necessary for discussing sensitive subjects.

Passive aggressive =/= polite. Sorry.

I'm not sure how that's a response to what I said, but I agree. Being polite is not the same as being passive aggressive.

One can be polite and passive aggressive, polite and assertive-aggressive, or polite and non-aggressive.

Well, it's a hint.   ...At least.

Yeah it should be fine. The reasson why so many topics are getting banned in ME3 forums is cause people are being brats and rude cause of a bad ending. Keep it civil and you'll be fine. And that's why I'm done with ME3 forums for now. DA2 didn't get that much hate

Indeed.  In any case, here's the responses you will get:

You:  I don't want bisexuals/homosexuals/blacks/elves/demons/dragons/the color purple in the game.
Me: Why?
You: Because I don't like them.
Me:  That's nice.  *leaves*

or 

You: I don't want bisexuals/homosexuals/blacks/elves/demons/dragons/the color purple in the game.
Me:  Why?
You: Because I find them offensive.
Me:  Why?
You: Because they're indecent.  Think of the children!
Me: It's an M-rated game.  So why are you letting your kids play it?
You: Well I don't want to be exposed to that filth and I'm an adult.
Me:  Then don't buy the game.
You: I didn't know it was in there until I bought it.
Me:  Exercise due dilligence.
You: But Anders tried to FLIRT with me!  ZOMG SQUICK!
Me:  And that poor Qunari mage setting himself on fire didn't bother you at all?
You: That's DIFFERENT.
Me: Squick is squick.  If your opinion is that you want a squick-free existence, get over it.  And we're done here.

Why the caps? I just imagine you sitting at your computer shouting at the screen as you types lol.

Anywho, its okay to disagree its okay to agree just be polite and civil about it and don't get angry that someone disagrees with you.

[Get Magna Carter]

the catch is polite and reasonable are subjective so it's what other people think that is important

hint - anything involving mandatory castration, gas chambers or burning at the stake will not be acceptable no matter how politely it is phrased

If you intend to rail against the inclusion of options that you are free to ignore, I wouldn't expect to be taken seriously.

Actually it was worse, it was so bad they had to create a new forum that only people who bought the game could talk in because of the trolling and personal attacks on players who bought the game.

To the orginal topic, I agree with what others have said BioWare will allow most topics to exist if there isn't already an existing thread or its not hate speach, but with the amount of capital letters (yelling) you used I would believe you post might be too aggressive to prevent a ban.

Yep.

I've actually noticed the odd person posting in this forum who doesn't have DA2 registered. Any idea what's up with that?

Maybe they own it but are just lazy? Heh, I have owned DAO, ME and ME2 for years and just got around to registering them here last week.

*EDIT - Just realized this is the game owner section. Maybe it is more of a suggestion than a requirement?

I think bioware should leave the sexual orientation of main party member characters to the preference of the player. I don't think its fair that the sexual orientation of a main playable party member character should be decided for the player prior to any interactive dialogue. Players tend to develop a fondness for a character. Along with that, is a model or impression the player wants to maintain to have of that character. I think you all know where i am going with this.
Personally, i'm a traditional kind of guy. Fenris was such an awesome warrior until it got wierd when he gave me that vibe at the mansion .Sorry but thats how i ohnestly feel.

How do you get a 'vibe' from him. Fenris flirting is pretty low key and easily ignoriable. I is that little heart that bothers you, because that heart is in your dialog wheel. I seriously don't see the vibe.

I'm just going to re-post what I posted in your other topic:

No, we're not going to let you decide the sexual orientation of your party members. The PC? Sure, knock yourself out - after all, it's -your- character, and whatever sexual orientation you want to make them is entirely your choice. Party members, though? Nope. Giving those who are uncomfortable with same-sex romances and relationships the tools to avoid them is not something we're going to do, as doing to suggests that there's something there for people to 'protect' themselves from, which we aren't going to validate.

I'm sorry that same-sex romance makes you uncomfortable, but welcome to the world. End of the day, regardless of someone's sexual orientation, we're all people, worth the same respect and dignity, and we're not going to help anyone draw that line in the sand. Full stop.
