@HulegaardBooks Will there be character profiles and interviews for the Advisors: Cullen, Leliana, and Scribbles?

 

David Hulegaard ‏@HulegaardBooks 12m

@user Is that something you'd be interested in reading?

 

@HulegaardBooks Yes! There's a lot of us who would like to learn more about the advisors. We're just waiting patiently for their reveal.

 

@HulegaardBooks @user HECK YES

 

Chanda Esparza ‏@NFTM17 

So, we want the same royal treatment for the Advisor companions that the other companions are getting. As you can see.

 

David Hulegaard ‏@HulegaardBooks

Ha! You never know.

I think it has something to do with the playersexual/bisexual companions of DAII and that whole matter as well as how they said companions this time around are more believable or have strict sexualities.

 

It's come up a few times in the context of the term "playersexuality."  It's a bit unfortunate because it's come up even in my posts, and I think people have an inclination that if I am making a comment on it, it legitimizes it due to my implied authority as a member of the dev team.  Which isn't necessarily an unreasonable assumption.

 

As a result I try to be clearer when I am speaking entirely on my behalf.

[Enigmatick]

From what I understand the concept that bisexuality isn't a real thing, or is often erased, or is seen as being greedy or just the lack of a choice being made.

 

I'll admit it seems extreme to me as well, but I also am not subjected to the judgment and can't say if I would or wouldn't respond in kind if I had to endure similar comments the entirety of my life.

 

 

Hopefully David's clarification helped.

From what I've read on other places people just seem to be using the 'biphobic' bit to look like they're in the right for being mad that they can't court Dorian with a self insert.

I thought that (though the devs clarified the believable/realistic thing) but the 'always' part in the tweet confused me.

And without any proof whatsoever, it could also be that the user was simply trolling David as well.

From what I've read on other places people just seem to be using the 'biphobic' bit to look like they're in the right for being mad that they can't court him with a  self insert.

 

Some people may use the term in that way.  Most of the context that I have seen it used in (whether it be here, tumblr, or other places) is referring to characters like the DA2 companions as anything other than bisexual constitutes an erasure of bisexuality.  That someone isn't bisexual if they are only seen as in a relationship with a particular gender (which isn't true. Bisexuals can be monogamous).

 

In the case of the tweet, it seems like the term was applied in a similar way.  If someone already has the assumption that we're some level of biphobic, it seems as though they read David's tweet as being "fully gay" means "no longer the inferior bisexual."

 

 

A few others have expressed their reservations (and some have expressed their disagreement and support too) on these forums too.

[Lebanese Dude]

I'm still a little shocked to be honest. I expected a gay character but the actual realization that there WILL be a gay companion who is handsome AND intelligent just blows my mind away.

I just think the person could have made their comment more...polite rather than bashing on Gaider and his writing decisions. But perhaps the person was not of offensive intentions and worded the tweet in an unwordly manner. I would like to think this, but after seeing what some people actually say in response to these reveal. If I had a twitter I would at least congratulate him on his hard work. 

 

Btw a question if you do not mind Allan, how long does writing a character with a companions' role take. I imagine many writers have to go through a phase in which they crumble up stacks of paper thinking that idea would not go well with the character.

That's all for today. Be sure to check your spam and give it a few more mins to arrive before throwing your sad pandas at us O_o

[AlexWk31]

omg. These sad animal pics are really, well, sad. And new ones seem to crop up every time those emails are sent out. My animal-lover heart is breaking, y'all!!

[VilhoDog13]

Yeah, David Gaider is the last person you'd want to be rude towards.

If you've read ANY interviews with the guy he is clearly not biphobic, homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other extreme prejudice.

If you have a concern address it respectfully. The man deserves it. Thank you DG for your efforts in the video game industry. Actually, this also goes out to all who have tried to make advancements for women, gays, and those of color.

I can understand that people get frustrated and even Bioware is not perfect with everything. It's ok to voice your opinion but I feel like allot of people who argue for social justice issues do from a very narrow minded black and white perspective. As soon as they see something they don't like they immediately attack everyone involved no matter who they are or what their position actually is.

 

I understand these people but I sort of loath them too in a way because they poison discussions and make everything into a witch hunt. Sure I get that people have legitimate reasons to be angry sometimes but does it have to be all the time and about everything? 

 

I'll stop now because this sort of became a rant, I'm not gonna tell people how to behave. 

[TheJediSaint]

I would disagree with this statement.

 

DG is extremely prejudiced against stupid people.

 

I would say that's the other way around.  Otherwise. who would he snark at?

[ManchesterUnitedFan1]

I would disagree with this statement.

 

DG is extremely prejudiced against stupid people.

 

If he knows they're stupid then it's not prejudice is it?

I should probably stop too... This is the twitter thread anyway. tell you what:

 

Allan instead if you catch my response pm me so this thread can stay on topic  Sorry I got carried away.
