Romances in games is still kind of new. Back in the day we didn`t get any at all. After that we got 1. So its not like straight people have experienced an abundance of romances in games either.


But straight men historically in BW's game have almost always gotten the lion's share of LIs.

It's annoying. I thought we were passed that but then ME1 and ME3 reared their ugly heads.

@Scar: Ah fair enough.

David. are you here to discuss DA romances? You know the game series that you admit to having not played?


Mass Effect has romances and that's enough reason for him.

Maybe so...but how can you have not experienced the joys of Dragon Age? 'Tis blasphemy!

Its not heroic enough

But all LIs (not counting Sebastian who even you admit is worthless) in DA2 were available to PCs of either gender. How can it get much more "equal" than that?

It can't? People are asking for that to continue. That's all.

Why wouldn't it continue? Has Bioware given some kind of indication that it would not?

This is true. But it comes from the fact that earlier, most gamers were male. Then women started playing games more and more, and female romances got added.

The fact that the overwhelming majority of people are perfectly content catagorizing themselves as interested in males, interested in females, or interested in both is plain and simple reality. I don't have to be concerned with the inner workings behind all of that for the 'label' to be obvious and justified.

What I mean by the bolded, is that bisexuals - like everyone else - should have to deal with what they are dealt, instead of trying to please everyone, ignoring the fact that the game is a story, not a fanfic written by the players. Bisexuals will (or at least should) be willing to choose who they romance based on the available remaining options... not just have free range.

The lore argument? Lore as in, the fact that not every person in DA agrees with everyone else. That is, the point of having characters with different opinions, is to give the story some believabilty (and somewhere to go with a story).


except the restricted LIs don't effect just bisexuals so it's baffling me why you're attempting to single them out.

As for pleasing everyone sure. That could just as easily be used as reasoning for them having all bi LIs. Why bother trying to please the people that insist on straight and gay only LIs.

There's only a handful of LIs ANYWAY. Being stuck with one option (or none if you don't like the one you got like m/m players or f/f players were stuck with in DAO) sucks.

And that means the LIs can't be for both genders...again why exactly? You don't have to agree with everyone to be attracted to both genders.

It can. So long as BioWare gives us more romance options, not just 4 bisexuals. All in all, BioWare is the one who gets to choose between more options and sticking with the bare minimum (not necessarily a bad thing, though in this case, it is for me.. but again, we just have to take what we're given).

He is speaking in general terms. I have been called biggot and whatsnot about 30 times on this forum. Don`t think Plaintiff has called me that, though. Most have appologized in PM later, so its no biggie.

DA side BW no. Maybe someone was concerned after ME3's lopsidedness?

Bare minimum probably gives us the most bang for our buck. I rather get 4 bi Lis than ME3's multiple LIs with limited content and some LIs being scrapped because the devs couldn't be bothered. More content spread across fewer characters. But that's just my preference. If we MUST have the 2/2/2 I rather the way I outlined.

ME3 was developed by a different team.

It was also horrible. "Lopsidedness" in the LI ratio is hardly the only thing that should never appear in another Bioware game ever again.
