Straight females got better treatment in DA2, why is no one complaining about that?

how pray tell did they get better treatment? and your personal opinion of the li's hardly counts. neither does a dlc companion if you ask me.

I'm not talking about any one character's options. I'm talking about the player's options. In the case where romances are more restricted, one character might have less options than another. (ie gay characters, most likely) But the player is not that character, and the player can make another character who does have those options that were restricted to the previous character.

I suppose, but this still sounds primarily like the player can simply choose not to play a gay character in your argument.

Again, I think it would be different if equality were actually a real thing, but the player having a choice to simply not play gay is different (at least as I see it) than the player not being able to romance a specific character because they're playing gay (in the scenario where they still have equal choice).

I will concede that desires (in terms of players asking for one romance option to be made available to them) are typically self-insert; maybe that's all you were suggesting.

How do you figure?

To be fair, they got Fenris, Anders and Sebastian. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. A veritable trio of self righteous angst.

Edited to add - agreed, numerically speaking but... dear gods the angst.

True. Straight guys got to pick between committing a fellony wiyth a 12 year old elf, or romance a pirate lady who had STD.

Seb's so boring and terrible that nope.

Also these games have protagonist voice acting. I'd LOVED to romance Garrus.

I'd be damned if I put up with Hale's voice assaulting my ears to do so though.

I can understand that, but we can't have everything nor should we

People actually romanced Sebastian? 

True but when I'm finding chunks of the game unplayable because I can not tolerate the voice acting just makes me feel like I'm throwing money down the drain. And I'm EXTREMELY picky when it comes to female protagonist VAs. So yeah my problem but that's why I really want 4 shared LIs. It is not worth listening to a voice you dislike for 40+ hours because you want to do a hour long romance (if it's even that long).

Of course.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to put an end to my nasty habit of thinking so I can better mirror most of BSN. It is part of my privileged upbringing I suppose.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but... deal with it? Fenris doesn't like mages, Sebastian is straight. Fact. And I see both of those facts as equally important to the character. I think it's ironic that so many player-sexual defenders love to preach tolerance for other people's sexualities/worldviews, but then they expect all your companions to conform to your own sexuality/worldview...

Oh not at all, I'm all for playersexual and very opposed to them embracing someone with a violently conflicting worldview. I want the friendship and through this the romance options to focus on reactions to choices, not character creation.

I understand the sentiment, but what you're basically asking for is that all your companions judge you for what you do rather than who you are. That sets the "openminded-ness" bar pretty high, don't you think? I think people should react to your race, class, and sexuality, because they are an integral part of who you are.

Merrill, Isabela, Anders and Fenris could be banged by both genders, Seb could only be romanced by females. There's a preference, clearly no one gives a flying crap though.

I really wish Morrigan and Alistair had been bi. They were the plot important companions.

Kind of sucky the easily ignored companions were the bi ones =/

And they where both rogues <_<

Yeah that was...ugh.

I agree with you, but I hope they don't judge me too harshly. My Inquisitor has some issues with rejection.

yes this one chaste romance in one singular dlc turns the preference towards women

I'm a moderate fan of romances. I'd like a little additional material for them, and a little variety in them, but I'd like most of the actual work on characterisation farmed out to the friendship part of the relationship so it's not locked out if you don't romance the character. This seems an efficient route without blowing a ton of resource on it.
