I doubt Sandal will be romancible.
There's someone I know I will call X.
X was married with two children to a woman I will call Y.
I didn't know X very well back then but I had worked with Y.
I thought I knew her personality .
Y left X for another woman.
A much younger woman .
I was never saw it coming.
Never would have predicted it in a million years.
I guess you don't always know who is attracted to whom these days.

Yep. Like 4 straights or 4 gays.
It won't. Though it is a rare thing in Thedas. 

But 4 LI cost less than 8 LI, for an equal number of LI

YES I know more variety blah, blah, but at the end of the day, the developpers have to make a choice; and David Gaider said that having more choices is a better trade-off that more "sexual diversity"

And thus DA has lost one more point of being a good, well-written story which pays attention to its characters not for fanservice but because of lore and story-telling

Yeah because, DA has nothing to do with humanity-powered crisis, the dilemma of security versus liberty, the damage of greed and hunger for power, political games and religious extremists

No the true soul of DA's writing is having 2 companions locked for straight romances

Apparently there is sexism, racism, slavery, slaughter, corruption, religious wars... but everyone is LGBT-friendly. Like Joker from one of the Batman comic is a psycho who tortures and murders people... but still hates ****. Why the **** should he care? He's the damn Joker
Instead of meaking every character unique they make everyone the same including their romance. Such a good-writing it is

Well, that is just not true as every romance is (if not unique) very different from each other. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it. This is especialy the case in DA2, where the characters are miles apart when it comes to personality and morals. You've got the broody one, the cute one, the free spirit, and Anders.

What the player-sexual LIs brings to the table is that the player gets the option to experience an even greater variety of romances, which they did not have in DA:O. So, more options equals bad?

Every romance was unique in DA:O and ME, in DA2 they're repetative with the same animation and are nothing but ******-material. Let's not even mention how ridiculous Rivalry romance sometimes is. 
Sexual orientation is a part of a character, of their personality. It is not a dress which you can change depending on your mood. It's one of the major blocks that create a person. It's based on their past, their preferences, their morals and beliefs. That's why making everyone with the same sexuality is simply lazy. And kinda disrespectful.

Yep. Quality over quanity. Bioware say they make high-quality RPGs then let them create high-quality RPGs. Tis a shame they don't make BG and DA:O-style romances anymore. And I guess Samantha and Cortez will stay the only purely gay characters we'll ever meet in Bioware's games

Really, really, REALLY, hoping Cassandra will be a love interest. I liked her in DA2. She struck me as one who was tough with Varric at first but was also fair with him. Like not having a sword pointed at him and keeping her word to let him go.

Really fell in love with her after seeing Dawn of the Seeker. She can kick some serious butt. When I face dragons in DA:I I'm bringing her along.

Helps that's she's good looking too.

Oh wait.

I'm also not sure why the DA2 romances are ****** material to you. There was more naked skin in DA:O.
DA2 romances are just as varied as DA:O romances. The characters all have different, nuanced personalities and their relationship with the protagonist is different from character to character.

Sexuality is a part of personality. It's not sth you can force people to be like. If they're gay/straight/bi, they are. Character comes first, fanservice - last

Because we talk about exclusevely chosen people. They're not a part of the mass, every one of them is supposed to represent some idea, flaws and beliefs

Eh, Cortez is kinda useless, you could removie him and that hardly would change the plot. Samantha is really useful though.

Hey. Merril, I've just killed at least a half of your clan, the whole game I humiliated you, doubted everything you believed in and now let's have sex <3

Really? I was under the impression that all of the animations were the same, but just the characters were switched around. 

The Morrigan scene had the male PC standing behind her at the start while she did a "sinister" smile. The Alistair scene had Alistair standing behind the female PC at the start while she did a "sinister" smile. The Leliana romance is the same as the Morrigan one unless it's the lesbian one where it just does the Alistair one. 

I have no idea about Zevran because I never romanced him at all, and have no intention of it. Please share your stories of a same sex romance with Zevran to see how it differed from the others.

That's not necesarrily true. There's sexual orientation which is static, and possibly part of a person's personality, and then there's who you decide to have sex with. As such, a person could be straight, and have sex with the same gender as them because they find it exciting/fun/insert reason here.

It is. Thedas is generally LGBT-tolerant, compared to our world, but in every region there is different approach to it. In Orzammar it is not preferable since marriage is a duty first of all. One needs to make babies first of all. There are lovers, but it is hidden. Orlais is the most LGBT-tolerant country in Thedas. Nobody gives a damn. In Antiva it is a norm, and sometimes even a neccessity (Crows). Qunari have no sexual relationships, though how they handle platonic love is unexplained. 
They don't ignore this thing. In DA2 they were just lazy, in DA:I it seems they finally follow the right path. Charater comes first, fanservice - last

Because it implies that purely straight and gay people are either rare (which is against the Lore) or that they don't exist. Diversity, people, diversity

Steve is the first male gay character in Bioware history. Of course people will talk about it

Animations slightly differed depending on gender and race (you know, height differene and stuff). It is not much, but still better than DA2 fem mage Hawke lifting Isabella without even sweating
Then, there is a difference in dialogues.
Lelianna differently approaches fem and male Warden. In the first ase you sometimes don't even notice it  
Zevran mostly hits on girls, but you can flirts with him as a man. If you don't like this he'll say sth like "Oh yes, I forgot that in Fereldans it is less common". 
Difference in approach was mostly absent in DA2

The only height difference I noticed was that suddenly my elf protagonists were the same height as Leliana/Morrigan or dwarfed (haha a pun) by Alistair. I never played a dwarf, and I have no intention of ever doing so. 

Suddenly female mages are not supposed to have any strenght at all? Mind = Blown!

Leliana approaches it differently, but Zevran hits on you the moment you first awaken him regardless of gender. Zevran just explains your rejection if you happen to be male. Other than that both romances procede exactly the same regardless of gender.

It usually means that the creators spend more time pandering fans than actually writing the characters and the story

You problem Dwarves' backgrounds are one of the best :3 
Suddenly, if you don't have enough training lifting sb who weights no less than you may result in trauma. And no. strip dancing with a staff is not considered phsyical training, Hawke XD
Also, it's just lazy. Two genders and the same frigging animation. Not even a slight difference. Lazy, just lazy

Because that's Zevran. He's a hopeless flirt, that's how he was brought up + his personality and preferences. He is a complex person. 
It is still sth, compared to DA2. A nice explanation as well. Diversity

Back on the topic, I'm glad they're back to romances based on characters' personalities rather than fanservice. It's gonna be good

Animations do not differ, at least not that I've seen. If anything, dwarves suddenly grew three feet everytime they started smooching.

There was a difference in dialouges in DA2 as well.
If you romance Merrill with a male Hawke, she will comment on how her clan wouldn't approve of the relationship due to the possibility of half-elf (so basically human) children. If you are female, she instead tells you that she thinks she can't possibly measure up to you.

I never romanced Isabela as a male, but I imagine she's not asking him for a bit of 'girly fun'.
In MotA, Isabela's reaction to Hawke flirting with Tallis differs as well. If you're male, I believe she pretty much shrugs it off. If you're female, she is much more possessive and puts Tallis in her place when she deems it necessary.

Anders tells you about his affair with Karl if you're male. He doesn't do so if you're female.

And Fenris..well, who cares about Fenris. Romanced him once for variety, didn't pay attention to his dialouge, never finished the playthrough.

At least give us some qunari then

Then choices are not the way of diversity...except for "sexual diversity" but even in DAO the straightness of Ali/Morri wasn't an important part of their character

I'd say scrap that, there are plenty of areas to be diverse, without restricting arbitraly the player

Actually, I think it was part of their character.  Maybe not important like you say but it is part of their character.  It ruins the character if you just make them player-sexual just for the sake of making sure gay people have the same amount of relationships as everyone else in a game.  Not everyone is gay or  bisexual and thus the characters should be treated as such as it can be jarring to do something like that..

Why should they? It is common thing. Yet sexuality theme is explored in DA, it is not ignored, it is important. 

What'sthe reason behind choosing a sexuality of character? If it is to pander the fans then it is bad writing. If it is actually a part of the character's bakstory and beliefs then it is good. DA2 did it just to pander the fans, meaning it was bad. DA:I and DA:O do it for the sake of character building, which is good

Thankfully they won't do it anymore, hopefully, according to the news
