I beleive that choice is great in a game like Dragon Age and I hope that each person has a good amount of choice in this regard. However, I would still prefer it if Dragon Age 3 has romances similar to ME3 in terms of how it's layed out. I do not agree with the way they did it in DA2, as the character's sexuality is based off hawke's. I strongly think that characters should have a mix of straight, bis, and gays or just simply straight and gays if there isn't that many characters so it feels...natural. To me, I don't go into a place with everyone based off my sexuality, everyone has their own. A couple people over there prefer men and those over there prefer girls. It would be great if Dragon Age 3 was like that. Everyone has their own tastes.

Also, I wouldn't mind if a character or two (if it seems like it would work for the character) to be curious or not so sure about sexuality but belives is, for example, straight but can be convinced to just try it out or something. Sure that is fine, if you guys can get it to work like that. I just think that it shouldn't be easy to get into romances with people and for everyone to romanced due to them all sexually interested in what gender you are.

This has been discussed to death already. People will never agree about that and every single topic has ended in insults and petty fights.

No need to start again.

They should also add non party members as romance options. After all, who wouldn't want to try so Meredith before she brings the crazy?

Hope not, I would end up with just one romance. It's a take it or leave it. <_<

I enjoyed having two LIs for my Lady Hawke instead of one for my female Warden (although admittedly, I play on a PC so I used a mod to give me both romances in DAO also, but obviously it sucked for Console players, because they couldnt romance Morrigan like I could). I don't see any problem with the DA2 system, if somebody wants to see Merrill as 'straight' then they're free to do so, simply romance her as Male Hawke, and dont romance her as Lady Hawke, and there you go. Its not necessary to take the fun away from everybody else. I agree with the DA2 system, as obviously does most everyone else, as from Skyrim to DD to older games like the Sims, they all let you play the romances that you want. The ME system is great for those who play as MaleShep, as they only miss out on one possible female LI, while those of us who played as FemShep had the majority of all female LIs cut out for us, and when you only count actual teammates, MaleShep players had NO LIs cut out at all, we had 4 out of 5 cut out. There's obviously nothing good or fair or, most importantly, fun about that. Its an anti-fun system, the DA2 system is a pro-fun system, and since maximizing fun is the point of any game, the DA2 system is the one that should be used in DA3.

On the other point, I agree there should be more non-teammate LIs, that is the only thing that ME did right in the romance department. DAO had a little bit of that, I guess Anora was the closest to that, and obviously DA2 was completely lacking in that regard. Thats the one area of improvement that I'd like to see in DA3, the addition of non-teammate LIs.

wait, what, didn't DA:O have the same amount of love interests for both genders, or did I miss something?

Love interests for male warden:
Morrigan
Leliana
Zevran

Love interests for female warden:
Alistar
Leliana
Zevran

Earlier Bioware games did admittingly have more options for male PCs than female ones, but DA:O was not one of them.

[DarkKnightHolmes]

My personal request...... don't have any.

Yeah, I wish.

For gay relationship, there is only one option. In Dragon Age 2, they also have the same amount of LI, but gaymers actually have a choice in the romance department in 2.

I agree with the OP somewhat. I would love for all the LIs to be bi for my own enjoyment and replayability, but if it's not possible then I personally think that if a bi-curious option would be fine. Something like this .

[Swagger7]

In DA2 all the NPCs were metagaming, so they knew that Hawke could be of either gender and therefore only bi people were interested in her/him.  

(Except for Sebastian who was too stupid to figure it out).

My personal request for romance is Maria Sharapova in a French maid outfit and... oh, sorry, you meant about DA3.

Frankly, I liked the DAO approach better, even though it makes no difference to me because my PC is always a straight male. The DA2 way does with romance what Skyrim does with skills - you can have anything in any playthrough, regardless of the choices you made about your character at the beginning. That's always a bad idea in RPGs to me, because it kills replay value.

Not sure why, considering they are entirely optional. In my latest DA:O and DA2 play throughs I have not chosen any, and it's not like I am constantly pestered about it.

Anders is the only pushy one, Isabela is just flirtatious anyway, Fenris shows respect that you can choose to iniate romance from, and Merrill requires you to flirt completely.

So only one of them is pretty much constant, and that can always be put down to Anders rather pushy nature in general in DA2.

Personally I'd prefer no romances if they cannot make them more fitting into the story than they normally do. Mass Effects are pretty much "Say nice things until you get a PG13 cutscene". I liked Origins in that they were not time constrained. DA2 I have only ever chosen Merrill and it wasn't too bad in the way that they did it, but I don't really feel like it makes much of a difference in the end.

If they can make them work well, then all is good, but I don't think anything is worth having "just because we always do it".

Heh.

Not very creative, I know.  Still, even if the topic has little effect on my playthroughs, conceptually I like the DAO way better.

I agree and hope that DA3 does not have all bi LI's - I liked the more plausible, DA:O approach and feel it takes away from a person's character to have them all swing in either direction.

Cactuar for Li and Squadmate

[sharkboy421]

I prefer DA2's approach.  Apart from Izzy, who is painted to be bisexual, the others orientation is simply up in the air.  I don't think of Anders, Merrill or Fenris as "bi" but rather it changes based on the players actions.  One playthrough Merrill is straight because I choose to romance her with male Hawke.  In the next she is gay because I choose to romance her with Lady Hawke.  The two play throughs are completely seperate and have no impact on each other.  And Merrill's personality and character has not changed, she is still Merrill.  So I really hope DA3 keeps the same approach as DA2 for possible LI.

Do you like if there is one bi and one gay option for each gender? It's the Origins approach, right? 

[Arppis]

I liked the DA:0 romances the best... because I could bang everyone!

Why are people so childish?

They did not say "I want Dragon Age Origin romances copy and pasted", they said they want the approach to be the same. That approach would be that each character has a defined sexuality, and that is a part of their character. It doesn't "automatically adjust" to fit the players preference, and it isn't all bisexual so "nobody gets left out".

That is not an unreasonable desire.
