I'd  like race restrictions, though I doubt Bioware is going to add them. But I don't care that much about the argument to be disappointed, whatever decision Bioware will make.
Those threads are good to read though. The discussions are always fun, like the mage-templar thread and the Cerberus thread. I have a hard time deciding which kind of thread I prefer to read.

Well this is going to sound strange but I've got to thank the OP for creating this thread for it's inspired me to finish an intimate scene for my book. It's between and elf and human, well technically half-elf but I'm now rambling like an old man and my head hurts, everything is too loud outside and this thread promotes sssssseeeeeeexxxxxxx!

I think that there needs to be restrictions but they should come from characters personalities and tastes not from differences in race.

There should be restrictions but it's probably not going to happen because the forums would implode otherwise.

Why not? Let's say Cass is a LI, why in makers name would she romance a qunari? Maybe befriend him but sex? love? I don't see it. Some characters simply should not be that way with certain races. This was an issue in DAO(along with other things) that did hurt the romances.

I knew 4 pages was the right limit.

Exaclty, It's a waste of time and would mean spending more time and money on romances. Plus why does it always have to be about sex with these people? 

if you get off to "sexy game characters" then that's ok but don't project your own sexualities on to me.

Why restrict dwarves and qunari only, if you're so concerned with "everybody banging everybody!!1"? Why do elves and humans get to fall in love 'despite the lore' but dwarves and elves, or qunari and humans or whatever can't? It's a dumb restriction.

You are arguing with the wrong people.

All LIs should have at least one race they won't date.

It's one extra Boolean variable per race per character

What is the point of different races if everyone is going to treat you the same?


Treating you differently does not equal never romancing you. Perhaps LI X (a ) would be more difficult to woo as a Qunari, but why should it be impossible

Perhaps in the light of the coming apocalypse and the end of the world, racial prejudices seem slightly less relevant. Or perhaps, after haven proven yourself a decent person (in the eyes of the LI), the person doesn't care what race you are. 

Why should there be race restrictions on love interests?

Well it would to do it in a way that wouldn't ****** people off. Suddenly Qunari and dwarves could be cut out of romances all together. They would have to add more romance options.

Because it makes sense for certain characters and makes the romances have more weight. Not all people do a romance just to get their pixel fill.

All the best characters are made by using a checklist.

Well, I don't see it neither. And maybe Cass wouldn't see it because she's not into qunari.
My only concern is that romances will be handle in the DA2 way.

People don't change their preferances just like that.

Consequences. I don't really see why some of you are going into hysterics about it either.

Qunari are at best disdainful of other races, excluding them from certain romances makes sense. Elf/human/dwarf pairings are not unheard of and it would largely fall to the individual characters.

But making everyone available for everyone just seems like pandering.

Except that will happen, Bioware knows if they don't the bsn will explode into a fireball of ager and throw words hyperbole words around.
