He doesn't want all characters to be romanceable but he wants romancable characters to be available to all genders.

Which is essentially a moot point since non-romanceable characters have never be an option at all in every games including dating simulation games regardless whether the character is "sexually available" or "racial available" or "cultural and religional available" or "species available" or "whatever bull**** available." I do not see the reason for Gaider to include non-romanceable characters into his equotation. If he wants to talk about romance option, then let's start with romance-able characters. Why the need to include the non-romanceable characters?



Because the question he was replying to asked if he would be up for making every companion romanceable if in a perfect world he had the rescources to do so. He said no because that's not what the game (Dragon Age) is for and if they were to do that they'd be taking the focus of the game away from the plot and moving it towards the romances which is not what they want to do.


And yet he make comparison with The Witchers' followers when the Witcher's  followers are all romanceable and  "sexually available", which is actually what he did with DA 2. All romanceable followers in DA 2 are sexually available. If he want to talk about non-romanceable companions as "sexually available", The Witcher 2 also feature non "sexually available" and non-romanceable companions, even better than DA 2, because Geralt is heterosexual.


Do you even know what you're arguing?  Because I can tell you, I'm having a very hard time understanding what you're getting at.  If it's that it's 'ironic' that he says he doesn't want all companions to be sexually available to the PC, but has all bi LIs in DA2?  That's not ironic.  Guess what, not all your companions are romanceable in DA2.  He didn't say "I don't think all LIs should be sexually available," he said companions.  Which, despite your attempt to claim otherwise, does include non-romanceable companions.  If they're not available, they're not romanceable.  (Save Sebastian, who has his vows, and also, incidently, isn't available to both sexes.) 

Seriously, untwist your underpants.  You're making zero sense.

After reading this post I can safely say that the next protagonist will be a fixed white, homosexual male married to Anders.

Gaider argue every followers is "sexually available" to the player in The Witcher 2. He forget that Geralt is heterosexual. You can't romance male companions in The Witcher 2 like Dandelion. Thus, Not all followers are romanceable and every romanceable followers in The Witcher 2 is "sexually available" to the player, which is essentially the same as what Gaider did with DA 2, Not all companions are romanceable but every romanceable followers in DA 2 is sexually available to the player regardless they're male or female.

Half the party is not every character. In fact, it's a tiny fraction of the characters. There is no contradiction.

No he didn't.

. All romanceable followers in DA 2 are sexually available


But not all companions are romancable which is what he's trying to avoid.

. If he want to talk about non-romanceable companions as "sexually available", The Witcher 2 also feature non "sexually available" and non-romanceable companions, even better than DA 2, because Geralt is heterosexual


Geralt is a little pre-defined. He is not a homosexual in the novels. I would know.

So to Gaider, romancing someone is the same thing as objectifying them.

Seriously?

No. He argues that every female Geralt meets in the Witcher 1 is "romanceable"*, which is the case, although "doable" would be more accurate, since there's only two actually romanceable characters in the Witcher 1, while all female who are the right age are fair game to Geralt's Awesome Manly Manliness, and you even get a card for that, as in Pokemon's Gotta Catch'em All.

Edit * Actually, he doesn't even say that. "Sexually available". Se he's right all the way.

No, but giving you a card everytime you have sex with them and never having most of them appearing again sounds pretty objectifying to me.

But that's like, my opinion. Even if it's always right.

A person, who refuses the PC like Serana in Dawnguard would be nice. Until now, every char in DA is either not a romance or a full Sex romance.

And there has to be a limit with all that bisexual and gay stuff. I want also interesting straight chars. In reality only a minority is gay or bi, but it seems that some people here want, that everybody in DA3 is at least a bi.

Sebastian doesn't put out due to wows. He isn't a "true" romance. Haven't played dawnguard, so I'm not sure what Serana does.

The Witcher 2 did same thing. You can't romance Dandelion and every male companions because Geralt is heterosexual just like you can't romance Sebastian. So he is wrong to assume that every followers in The Witcher 2 is "sexually available" to the player. If he meant "every characters" as "every female characters" then he is wrong either, since you can't romance the elders in the Witcher 2. The Witcher 2 doesn't have that many  female followers characters to be sexually available to the player, compare to DA 2's 2 males and  2 females romanceable companions who are all sexually available to the players.

Why the **** does it bother people that romanceble characters are bisexual? They are still the same freaking characters whether gay or straight! It's not like Anders walks around with a carrier purse and wears a pink scarf when Male Hawke is around; yet when Female Hawke is there, he's ripped as **** and spends most of his day doing squats in his clinic -.-

They are interesting characters. Period. Bi, straight or gay, the DA team writes them all the same -.-

So what? He's still wrong. You can't romance any followers whether it's The Witcher 1 or 2. Hell you can't romance every female characters whether it's The witcher 1 or 2. And you better watch your tongue when you want to argue. If you can't take the heat then do not reply. Calling a forumer a moron is a serious offense and you are violating the forum rule.

He didn't use romance. He used sexually available. You could shag damn near every named female character in W1. Only prominent ones I can think of the top of my head that you can't are Carmen and the chick that becomes a noon-wraith.

You fail to counter argue The first Witcher's characters being every characters sexually available to the player so you attack my reading comprehension. Oh well.. at least you're right about one thing. This is BSN, people resort to personal attack instead of his argument.

That's right. This characters are not "sexually available" to the player. Therefore there is no such things as, "every characters are sexually available to the player in the first Witcher". Once again, Gaider is wrong.

If we're going to start limiting the types of charactersthat can be in videogames, based on their proportional presence in the real world, then we should start by drastically cutting down on caucasian male protagonists and start introducing a buttload of Indian and Asian ones. And while you're at it, alter the biological sex of male characters until the gender ratio in videogames is roughly fifty percent.

Because the question was whether he'd want *every companion* to be romancable. He was explaining why he wouldn't want that.
