Cassandra better be a LI, I want to bang the Chantry out of her.

You sir are.... ah forget it. I vote for that comment. All in favor? 

One thing I have to say is that Cassandra doesn't seem bisexual. But then again, Anders in Dragon Age Origins Awakening didn't seem bisexual either. I don't know.

The Iron Bull could happen. Varric seems unlikely.

Kossith don't know how to have sex. It's just point blank. Kossith are mainly born as Qunari then become Tal Vashoth if they leave the Qun. But never in the Qun were they taught *cough* bed room techniques. Having sex with The Iron Bull can result in The Inquisitors death.

And if you get that female Qunari your humans/elves can act just like that dwarf.

Dwarves are not allowed to romance Qunari due to "animation issues".

Oh wow! Maybe you can tell me - what does a bisexual look like/act like anyway? I'd like to know, as it might save me some trouble working out which women I might have a chance with.  It would totally help if I could work out which women might be attracted to other women at a glance!

Seriously, though... You do know that people don't walk around with their sexuality stamped onto their foreheads, right?

Going just from what we saw in DA2, Cassandra didn't exhibit any sexuality at all. Would you say, then, that she was asexual? Or would you just assume "heterosexual until proven otherwise"?

Even if she did express an attraction to a male (which, if I recall correctly, she did in Dawn of the Seeker, but it was an afterthought in the anime, and not a major part of the plot), it doesn't exclude the idea that she might be attracted to women as well.

The anime is canon. This also means Cassandra should be able to defeat every damn dragon in the game alone.

You should include golems and ogre in that defeat every damn X alone.

Which makes me think, will the player like a companion that can out-badass them? Or even want to romance such a person?

Ha ha! Yeah.... I imagine the player has to be very badass, else it'd be a diappointment.

I'd like to request a female dwarf LI. She'd be just the right height for... well, you know.

[OLDIRTYBARON]

I kind of hope if we don't get a Qunari love interest (either gender, I'm not picky), at least we'll get someone like Aveline. I like her. She doesn't suffer fools and she's not about childish flirtations. I liked that a lot.

Did you skip her Act 2 questline with Donnic? That's nothing but childish flirtation.

I wouldn't say it was childish. She'd been alone for a long time, and before that she was married to Wesley for many years. Getting back into the Dating Game is difficult for a person who is coming out of a long term relationship. Her confusion over what to do wasn't childish, it was kind of sad. And funny. And it's also one of the best quest lines in the game.

[maliluka]

I just want a LI that is not broody all the time, and if they are I reserve the right to hit them upside the head and tell them to get over themselves.

Wow, you took this entirely the wrong way. What I meant is that in Dragon Age Origins Awakening, Anders never made a pass or complimented a males looks yet he did with a statue of Andraste. Therefore I assumed. There were lots of men in Dragon Age Origins Awakening and it didn't come up once while the statue cutscene left me with an assumption.

Same goes with Cassandra. In DAII if a male Hawke kills the Arishok in a duel Cassandra will seem attracted to that (and Varric did say that she seemingly had a "crush" on him while she insists that the story in itself just seems romantic) yet if a female Hawke kills the Arishok in a duel she will not have the same reaction. That is what I am going off of. Jeez.

Not many Kossith seem to share the same frame of mind with Aveline. And The Iron Bull seems to excude the exact opposite qualities Aveline had.

[Angrywolves]

Liked Aveline.
Felt she should have been an Li.
There won't be any Qunari Li's.
Gaider said there wouldn't be some time back.
A female dwarf would be nice but with Varric and only 9 party members I don't expect to see one.

I'm kinda happy Aveline wasn't romanceable, I though her storyline with Donnic was very cute. Though...if she had been an option she'd have been my first choice for LI, definitely the most stable of the bunch.

Anders also didn't seem very interested in the Mage Plight nor was he depressed and quiet. As I recall, he was funny, loud, and sarcastic with a sprinkle of the sexual/flirty side.

Because Varric obviously thinks like a narrow minded person: Women=attracted to men and Men=attracted to women and that's all, not in between and everything. That's why.
Just because Varric says different lines, it does not define Cass's sexuality. She acts the same with both Hawke's, the only difference here is Varric's line.

I'm sorry, the first bit was me really just joking around. I have had this discussion before on a variety of different forums about a variety of different characters.

I asked if you just assume heterosexual until proven otherwise, and it seems that you do. Attraction to one gender does not automatically exclude attraction to the other gender... Nor does being involved with a person of a particular gender lock you into either heterosexuality or homosexuality. There's a whole spectrum of sexualities in between those two, which normally get lumped into the category of bisexual (and when you separate romantic inclinations from sexual inclinations, things get even more complex). It is even possible for a person who seems primarily attracted to one gender, to (unexpectedly) fall in love with a person of the other gender (though it's probably not as common as fanfiction might have us believe at times!).

That isn't to say that assuming heterosexuality isn't a good bet, since it does make up the majority of human sexuality in our current culture and society. That assumption excludes any other possibility and is actually pretty rude in my opinion, as the only person who knows their sexuality is the person themself (and sometimes they're not even 100% clear on it). 

However, we're not talking about real life people, we're talking about characters... specifically characters in a game where the writers have been known to assign love interests a "herosexual" sexuality in the interests of keeping costs down and representation of queer folk reasonably high. It is up to each individual player how they intrepret that "herosexuality" - whether it is straight, bisexual, or homosexual.

I think I would actually like to add, hoping that it stays close to the thread topic, that the major issue with the assumption of heterosexuality is that it then leads to arguments about how the developers have "changed" the character dramatically.  I think a great example of this is Kaiden in ME, who I've always thought read as slightly more interested in male Shepard than a hetero military guy would normally be (i.e., Vega).  So it wasn't a surprise to me when they revealed that Kaidan is actually bisexual in ME3.  Of course, since you couldn't romance him in the first game as a male, many people assumed that he was heterosexual and were then outraged when "was changed".  The mistake is on them for assuming that because only a FemShep could romance him and he mentioned a girl in his past, he had to be straight.

It's the same thing with Anders.  People assumed that he was straight because he mentions women in DA: A.  Not a bad assumption because there is evidence to support it.  However, that only works in a binary situation (straight or gay).  As soon as you account for any sexuality between those two then hetero assumptions become flawed.  What would be more accurate would be say that, because of his behavior in DA: A, you assume that he is not gay.  That's accurate.  But you can't say that he's not bisexual or that he's just straight based on his actions in DA: A.  That's just flawed reasoning skills.

To relate it to DA: I, Cassandra, Varric, and (possibly) Cullen are rumored companions and/or LI's.  In all three cases, you have evidence to support that they are not gay:  Cassandra interested in Arishok killing male Hawke; Varric and Bianca; and Cullen's faux romance with Fem Warden.  However, there is no evidence that they are not bisexual, so if any of them are same gender love interests in DA: I, the argument that "have been changed" because of "pandering" and "fanservice" is flawed.

[Angrywolves]

I believe certain companions should be straight , some gay, and some bi.
Loved the way DAO was done, didn't like the way DA2 was done.
Didn't like the decision to make so many of DA2 's companions bi.

That Varric and femhawk animation ....well not my cup of tea but to each their own.

[werewoof]

while it'd be cool to have li's with different sexualities, straight gay bi etc, i am totally willing to accept the all bi thing just because it gives me more options. being able to play a queer character in a game is rare enough without limiting your option for romance to one character. and i love zevran, but if they did go back to origins' route with da:i, i worry that the only option will wind up being a character i don't like, like cullen or whatever. unless they can include enough characters to where representation is more equal and those of us who want to rp a queer character can have more than one romance option (when m/f options give you four) so if you dont like one option there's always another yall feel me.

basically i am willing to suspend disbelief if it means theres more of a chance of the character i like being romanceable by the gender i wish to play.

The extreme badassery of Cassandra doesn't intimidate... Just make you want to tap that even more.

I will be extremeley disappointed if there's no chance to invite her to your tent, but I will aslo understand it, It'd be more disappointing if she just jumps into your tent at the slightest suggestion.

Also she seems quite hardcore, maybe she doesn't want a relationship at all. Maybe you have to kill an archdemon all by yourself to win her love or some feat of that sort.

Not so sure about that, BI's, gays and lesbians are like vegetarians. How do you know someone is a vegetarian? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

The Game Informer update seems to say DAI will have few romances, .
That Bioware is cutting back on them
shrugs.
So it's possible the player would have to do some things outside the main story arc to trigger the romances, .
There would be fewer and not all the companions would be romancible.
That's my guess as to what the article is saying.
If true I am disappointed.
shrugs.

If that is the case () , hopefully it might mean each character will get more of a romance subplot than what we normally expect?
