Are we sure there are only going to be 2 of each gender again?

Well, we can't be sure of anything, really, but I think it's a safe bet.
If I remember correctly, Gaider mentioned that there would be no more and no less romance in DA:I than in the previous installments.

40 is too old for Cassandra.
We don't know if time passes the same way on Thedas as it does on earth.

Well, we have the tweet from Mike saying that she's younger than 40, so it's a moot point.  However, there has been no evidence to the contrary that time passes any differently for humans on Thedas than on earth.  Looking at that timeline, which I wasn't familiar with since I haven't read most of the comics/books, it looks like she's mid-late 30's.

Vivienne, we don't have much to go on since she wears the mask.  It's true that most of the other Senior Enchanters were on the older side, but that doesn't mean that she can't be around the same age as Cassandra.  I always think of the Circle as being similar to academics.  Most tenured faculty is older, but that doesn't mean that you don't see some younger (early 30's and up) tenured faculty.  If Vivienne is as dedicated to her craft as the description makes her sound, then I don't see why we have to think she's older. 

All that being said, I do think she's probably not an LI.  I think Sera is a lock, she just seems like the Bioware femLI type, which means we'll probably get only one of either Cassandra or Vivienne and Cassandra just seems more likely.

Are we sure there are only going to be 2 of each gender again?

That's abotu all we have about number of romances... but that was posted 11 months ago

That's too bad, if you ask me. I would have loved 6 romances, 3 male 3 female

I figured, but I just wasn't sure if we heard anything confirming it from the powers that be.  That statement is good enough for me to assume 2 and 2 again, which is totally fine for me.

Here's the picture I was thinking of (second from left to right).

I for one welcome the rise of the beardy LIs.

Hehe, that sounds like a marketing tagline! "Dragon Age: Inquisition - The rise of the bearded LIs!" ;D

Someone else said Cassandra was 40.
shrugs.
The only 9 companions if true is a problem if they meaning Bioware want to even out the romances.
Making all the companions bisexual would be unrealistic , although it makes things easier for Bioware.

Oh god do we need to go through this again? Likely there will be 4 LIs, 2 male 2 female, all available to every gender.

All I want is this Dorian guy to be an elf magister and romancable. Pretty please?

No. Stop. Right there. Stop.

Let's just keep that discussion out of this topic and focus on the characters themselves. We all know how fast we're gonna reach end of the line otherwise.


Anyway, speaking of age, I'd be interested in knowing how old the Inquisitor is going to be. I'd rather we could roleplay it how we want it, but I imagine it's difficult to write a story without indicating the main character's age.

Don't people ever get tired of talking about this? Both the pro and anti people? It's always the same people, too. This time, just stop. No one ever changes their opinion on this, and it only derails threads.

To direct this back on topic, a way to include more LIs without having more companions would be another Samantha/Steve/Kelly.
(I would personally count Anora as one such LI, although I admit it's mostly because I headcanon-ed it as such.)

We'll be traveling around anyway, so having a sweetheart in some village or other doesn't seem particularly far-fetched.

The whole bisexual/playersexual issue has been discussed about a billion times. If it is a concern for you, please go back and read the past comments about it.

As far as Cassandras age, even if she were over 40 I say good, I don't have a problem with age differences.

We may be getting love interests that are in their thirties or older? YAY! I approve. I figure that the longer the characters have been around, the more interesting they are likely to be (though I'll admit that isn't a universal truth).

[DarkKnightHolmes]

DA2 technically had 6 if you count Sebastian and Tallis....... so maybe we'll have more than 4.

Amen.  As a gamer in my mid-30's, it will nice to have some older LI's.

Although to be fair, Leliana, Zevran, Isabella, and Anders don't feel very young (I'm not sure if we ever determined how old they were meant to be), but they all feel like they are at least late 20's (or equivalent, for the elves).  I think that this series has done a pretty good job of avoiding that twee J-RPG romance thing.

Just because it was already meant a billion times, doesn't mean it won't get meant a billion more.

Alistairs canon age at the beginning of Origins is 20 I think. I hope the ages are mixed up because I tend to roleplay my characters pretty young and idk it would feel a bit creepy if a ~20 year old girl would romance somebody in their late 30s

[Sylvianus]

We don't even know if we can play a young inquisitor. From what I've seen so far, - Varric, cassandra, Vivienne, the man with his beard, the man with the spear, - it seems that many of our companions will be close to 30 years old and even more.

You think so?
Hmm, I never had a problem with age differences. Maybe because I personally am attracted to women often much older than me. So as a 19 year old, it's not unusual for me to be attracted to a women in her late thirties or even forties.

I don't think you have to worry though. As far as I remember none of the LI's ages was ever explicitely stated. I always thought that Alistair was in his late twenties, yet canonically, he's twenty at the start of Origins. So I guess it's ultimately up to your own perception.

I hope that Varric's a romance option this time around. Afterall Bianca is gone for more than 10 years now, I don't expect him to forget her, but to move on and maybe think about a future with someone else.

Agreed, he is the main reason I am even interested in the game I really loved him in DA2, if he's not romancable that might be better on my pocketbook, make me willing to wait a year or two until the game is half price. I might not be able to do that if Varric is an LI so I am ambivalent about whether I want him to be romancable, I really like his characer and would love to explore that facet of who he is but I also like getting a good deal on video games.

[Angrywolves]

I didn't feel I was getting it off topic.
Some of you obviously overreacted.
I wasn't advocating pro anything or anti anthing as I really don't care.
sheesh.
As we don't know who the other companions are or why Gaider choose them it's kinda moot until more info is released.

[Ianamus]

I hope Cassandra is an LI, as we have yet to see a female warrior LI.

On a similar note I think Inquisition will be the first Dragon Age game to have no male warrior LI, as none of the ones seen or hinted at so far (despite Cullen, but I am uncertain about his inclusion as a companion at the moment) seem to be viable options. I think we'll have a male mage LI and a male rogue LI.

I think that the final LI is the female elf we've seen in several concepts.

Yeah, off-topic wasn't the right word.
But you've been part of enough of these discussions to know that they tend to escalate extremely fast and never lead to anything.
I didn't post that because I thought you wanted to start another debate, but it seems any mention of that topic will automatically lead to fighting all around. So I simply wanted to nip all this in the bud and hopefully keed this thread from getting locked.

[d-boy15]

Since the protagonist of DA:I probably no clearly background, they might add the ages slide feature
in to character creation without affect the story (didn't think the head of peacekeeper organization
should be less than 30+ anyway).

No need to worry about ages different, if it is bother you.

I suspect that classes don't have much to do with BioWare's selection criteria for LI. I doubt they went through thier previous games and said "We didn't have a female warrior LI yet, we better make Cassandra one".

If Cassandra is a LI, it's because the writers though that it was a story they could tell.
