Why?

Why not?

Main reason would be because we haven't seen this happen yet. Every fantasy game/movie/book has done the human x human romance thing and the human x elf thing to death. I can't ever recall a human x dwarf romance, and a qunari x human romance would also be a nice change of pace. Some people just wan't to see Bioware try to stepoutside of the norm, and do something we haven't seen before. I doubt it happens, but keeping my fingers crossed.

Bioware never confirmed that Cullen is going to be a companion. But, if they do actually put him as a companion, I could only assume he'd be romanceable.

I imagine the writers pit wouldn't need to be paid for months if they decided against making Cullen an LI though. Can you imagine all the fan tears? =)

But if anyone is interested in getting to undesrtand Cullen more, not in the romantic way, you should see this http://houseofgriffi...oggable-by-this she explains things better than I ever will

I never really understood this fascination people had with Cullen. Guess I was too caught in the moment to properly enjoy lots of his dialogue (totally my fault and not the writers'). That post was great!

Cullen has a new fangirl as of today! 

That was a nice tmblr, thanks for posting it. And yes, I'm also hoping for Cullen as LI   <3

Oh come now, just because he's not a character you particularly enjoy, it's fanservice?

Any rational, thinking person could acknowledge that there must be something to the character, if only because so many people admire him and his story. 

I am not a Cassandra fan whatsoever, but I certainly don't believe her inclusion in the game is merely "fanservice."

In any case, I have confidence in the DA writers (whom I greatly admire) and believe they will give us great (well-written) characters, whether I personally like those characters or not.

Don't worry man, Cullen true love will always be lyrium.

I always laugh at the so called "serious gamers" that label anything connected to romance as "fanservice". Exactly what is serious and bad arse about Dragon Age ? The combat ? Nope. The difficult quests and puzzles ? Nope. The ground breaking story ? DA2 was a ground breaking innovation in game story telling and the "serious gamers" whined non stop that it wasn't DAO. That it wasn't "epic". That your character doesn't get to save the world...

Grow up. some people like combat, some people like saving the world. Some people like romance. Some people like Cullen. And we all play the game and have the same rights to have a good enjoyable game.

I am a serious gamer.From Atari 2600 through the present.
shrugs.
Didn't intend to make the Cullen fans mad.
Anybody who wants to romance him, assuming he is a party member be my guest.
Hope you enjoy it.

Romances are fanservice though.

e: The only innovation DA2 showed is that if you rush a product out, it'll be an incoherent mess.

So is revamped combat then.  The fans hated DA2's system, so if it goes back to strategy based, is that "fan service"?

So are returning races.  The fans wanted it, so I guess that's "fan service" as well?

Who cares if it's "fan service" or not?  The beauty of romances is that are optional.  If you think they take away from your "serious gaming", then don't play them and let the people who enjoy them have fun.  It might also be better to avoid threads about love interests since you clearly don't like them, but they are going to be included regardless if you voice opposition to the idea.

"stop liking what i dont like!!!" yall serious gamerzzz and your weird hatred for the romance i swear to god. yeah cause dragon age is particularly groundbreaking otherwise. did anyone ever consider the reason the romance is so popular is because the well written bangable characters are all that separates da:o from every other tolkein-esque fantasy game ever

thank you friend

also exactly what is wrong with fanservice? im 98% sure that the fans are who they want to appeal to considering we're more likely to purchase the game if we actually like things about it rather than just "lets make this game as much of a serious tactical experience as possible"

Yes. But see, there are two types of fanservice. A good kind and a bad kind. The bad kind involves pointless titillation that adds nothing to the game. Like romances. Which are getting more and more relevant in Bioware's products. To the point where characters are being written not to be interesting, but whether or not this character will appeal to those who want to have sex with them.

Which is probably the reason we got the most stereotypical Bioware romances ever in DA2. The waifu, the brooders, and the depraved bisexual that goes for anything that moves.

e: I have no idea what a serious gamer is.

So what exactly is the purpose of your posts then?  Are you hoping that someone from Bioware will read it and change their mind about implementing romances?  Because that's not likely to happen.  Romances are relevant to Bioware products and have been for over 13 years (since Baldur's Gate 2).  It sounds to me like you are just complaining because you enjoy stirring things up.  I can't see any other productive purpose for your posts.

Now, back on topic, I'm convinced that Cassandra and Sera are going to be the female LI's based on what we already know, but I have a sinking suspicion that there is going to be another female companion who we don't know about because right now we only know of 3 (out of 9).  For the males, it's more up in the air.  I agree with the people who think that Varric will not be an LI because of the Bianca storyline.  Since we don't know any other males outside of the bearded guy from the gameplay footage, I'm not sure if I can speculate on that yet.

i get the feeling you didnt actually play through the romances because thats hardly accurate beyond a first impression but youre also pretty buttmad about the fact that they exist period and how dare people enjoy a thing

considering that the vast majority of video games dont have romance beyond "do fetch quest -> get married" let alone queer romance it sort of makes sense to me that this is what would appeal to people about dragon age but whaaaatever

The romances in Baldur's Gate 2. Mostly because they were a semi-hidden sidequest that required you know, effort. 

Not like in current ones that require you to hit the same option three times for a cheesy and creepy animated scene of two polygons humping each other.

ok no the next person to bring up balders gate like its the holy grail of gaming is gonna get a boot to the rear

I'm not sure if I understand how you can make this statement.  You clearly would never take part of a cheesy and creepy fanservice romance option in a game, so you must be basing these statements on second hand information, right?  Maybe you should play them before you make these statements. 

Or, do you actually take part in them even though you think they are fanservice.....?

Yes, we all have the same rights to have a good enjoyable game. But you see there is a small little problem, the romance you love so much are actually making the games less enjoyable to me.

I find them shallow, they cheapen characters with the player-sexual thing and overall they are either good to laugh at because of how bad they are are or I'm trapped with a bunch of emo companions who just want to get in my pants/robes, something I find extremely annoying.

Also, I totally believe that BioWare makes the poorest romance in all the gaming industry. It's not one of their strong point.

I've played through, or watched all the romances actually. Not impressed. And in fact, only a minority of people do them.

Talk to someone three times and then get married is hardly appealing either.

then dont play them i guess??? dont come on the romance threads to complain about them existing???? its a staple of the game and plenty of people enjoy it. its hardly perfect, but its an improvement over a good chunk of the gaming industry. but god forbid people like something you dont find impressive right

the majority of people who hate the romances also reduce the romanceable characters to the most flat stereotype they can find so i dont put much stock in their criticisms
