Some people just like to discredit others.
No one is perfect. We all lose our temper.
I was attacked on the BSN by another player some months back for something I had posted.
He demanded I provide links to "prove it ".
I am not on a pc, I can't provide links with the system I use.
The player making the demands wanted to say I was lying.
That was obvious .
Fortunately another poster said about me, he's right and posted the links.
Shark can say it's ridiculous , but there are ridiculous people on the BSN.
No one should be required to post links or prove anything to anyone .
This isn't the legal system. There is no perjury.
I 've never asked anyone on the BSN for links or proof. Never will. I accept what people say as facts.
Often disagree with opinions. If someone says Bioware said this or a developer said that I tend to accept that, unless there's evidence to contrary.
Maybe I was too hard on in respect and if so I apologize.
But some people will try to discredit others.
This is the BSN

[Angrywolves]

Too hard on shark I meant I apologize .
If some players want to say bad things about me, and then have to edit them or have a mod edit them, that's their choice. shrugs.
As far as DAI having fewer romances , I am disappointed if that's true.
Glad they're obviously going away from the playsexual stuff. Wasn't realistic . Didn't like it.
I did know about romances being harder to start and maintain . No feast day gift romances . I actually like the changes, makes romances more realistic . But fewer romances imo means Bioware went back on their word.

 I wouldn't say that anyone can romance anyone, but there will certainly be characters who fancy a certain type of person more than another.

 

Too good to be true. Sounds a bit like Kossith discussion - when DG says one thing, and ML (or someone else from high command) - another. DG said several times that "playersexual" LIs is a fair thing and if they can not give us enough LIs those they will give us will be that - playersexual. Now, combined with the statement "we will have same amount of romance content as in previous DA games" it gives us 4 LIs. Same as in DA2 - hence "not enough", hence - we will get the very same thing - playersexual LIs.

My prediction for LIs would be:

Cassandra
either Sera or female companion we haven't seen yet

and

Cullen (if companion) or male rogue we haven't seen yet (Cole?) if Cullen is not a companion
male mage (Dorian?)

The bearded Greywarden, Varric and Iron bull are not going to be LIs imo. They're not "young and handsome" enough and I don't think Bioware is prepared to experiment with LI's who are not elven or human yet.

[Jaulen]

Isn't Cole a spirit?
And that would be just creepy to me to romance him.

Ugh. Now I'm thinking of Patrick Swayze in 'Ghost'.

I have to disagree about Greywarden and Varric. Varric has a HUGE fan following with lots of girls and guys that want to romance him. And as for Greywarden, he'd be a nice change for older players, or even the younger players who find romancing a silver fox enticing. And honestly, it's just the beard that makes him look older, he has about as much grey in his hair as Varric does. I think they are both incredibly sexy.

Bioware experimented with letting you romance an alien raptor, and it paid off big time. I think they can dip their toes into the non-elf or human races for DA:I.

I wouldn't know about the "huge following" that wants to romance Varric... If fans of romances are a "vocal minority" in general, Varric romance fans would be an even smaller group. I'm not saying that Varric and Grey warden can't be seen as sexy but I just think that based on the romances in the past the more traditional "magazine cover handsome" is the look for the LIs if you look at Fenris, Zevran, Alistair, Anders, Kaidan...

Some find Aveline beautiful but the writers intended her to be "not too pretty" and she wasn't intended as a LI. Even if the age of the Greywarden is not an issue he has a full bushy beard which is not really considered a sexy look. Carth was also an older LI for example and he was more traditionally handsome.

[Former_Fiend]

Personally I don't have as big of an issue with the "playersexual" concept as most.

I don't think four people out of nine being bisexual is particularly unrealistic. I'd just prefer that they be more clearly bisexual than the LI's in DA2 were, sans Isabela.

[Yermogi]

I personally think that they will have 3-4 romances, both for male and female, BUT, depending on your race, you will only get to romance 2 of them. For example:

A female dwarf and female elf would be able to romance Varric, and a male human, but NOT a Qunari.

A female human and a female Qunari would be able to romance the Qunari and the human, but NOT Varric.

Plus the female romance options available. This pattern would also hold for male Inquisitors, except switch the genders and races around a bit.

Anyway, this is just my theory. Obviously I could be completely wrong, but it would make sense to me. If Varric is only available for a female dwarf, then obviously there'd have to be compensation for the other races somehow.

But I am totally for a Varric romance. If they want to make it difficult and only available after certain criteria are met, then fine, but I would still really want to romance him. Unlike both Anders and Fenris, Varric was really easy to like and get along with. He didn't force me to choose between two extremes, and his character was really easy-going and supportive, especially if you had a Friendship with him. I really liked that about him, and I could see that carrying over into the next game, where he's not overly flirty or suggestive, but he's always there for the Inquisitor.

And also, I think it'd be cute if you didn't romance either Varric or Cassandra, they get together eventually. She's so uptight and he's so easy going. I can just see the fireworks going off now.

I don't know why people are so confident that there will only be 3-4 LIs in the game.

The game is still a year+ from completion.  For all we know, barring mabaris and golems and family members of your PC and whatnot, all of your companions will be romance-able.

All of your companions will NOT be romancable and it looks like they also will NOT be player sexual judging by the interview I just read.

@Lallyzippo No. Not all companions in DAI will be romanceable, sorry.

They've said multiple times they will have less romance companions, that they will have more content and be harder to achieve.

Finally, how will romancing work in the game? Is it the same kind of deal as previous BioWare games, or can anyone romance anyone?

I wouldn't say that anyone can romance anyone, but there will certainly be characters who fancy a certain type of person more than another. We haven't really been able to comment on how many of your followers will be 'romance-able' or who will be 'romance-able', but we do have a whole lot of interesting combinations. Romance is a really important part of our storytelling, and we really want to give the player a lot of options there.

OK, but this is the part that I still have questions about: You say that "They've said multiple times they will have less romance companions, that they will have more content and be harder to achieve." and yet you provide no sources for this.  Nothing I have personally read has ever suggested anything of the sort.  In fact, what you did source actually contradicts that, as it states that Bioware is well aware of just how important romance is to both the story and the players and, and this is the biggest kicker: THEY WANT TO GIVE THE PLAYER A LOT OF OPTIONS.  So WHY, praytell, would they limit romance, as you've suggested?  It makes no sense.

I don't have to provide an additional source just for you because you're to lazy to go search around for it and I doubt you have anything that backs your statement up, also having 4 companions that are romancable is normal for them so how are they limiting themselves.


Some Npc will probably be romancable to give them a few more options nor have they ever said they want to give us A LOT,  like I said there's more content in them and they will be a lot different and harder to achieve then they were in previous games also things in the game will affect friendships and romances.


" Your interactions aren't just, 'Hello, I'm here by my tent waiting for you,' but instead something that feels like an outgrowth of all your adventures together and the kind of things that you've been doing," Laidlaw says. "In my ideal scenario, your interaction with the character isn't just about having interacted with them; it's about your interaction with them in relation to the whole game that you've chosen to play. So if you make really sweeping decisions in other parts of the game, that may actually change the nature of those interactions."

and some of what you said contradicts things attributed to Gaider in the past.
Alleged statements along the lines of DAI won't have more romances than the other games and won't have less.
Gaider said other things in a romance thread he closed recently when he got angry at some "romance haters" that would seem to contradict some of the last post.
shrugs.
I've grown weary of the war on the BSN between the romance lovers and the romance haters.
And I'm kinda tired of Gaider seemingly being quick to get angry.
He needs to chill.
The romance lovers need to agree to be content, more or less romances isn't the end of the world.
The romance haters need to realize attacking/berating the romance lovers won't force Bioware to abandon doing romances ..
Everybody just chill out.

I'm confident we won't have a Qunari romance, and this is a good thing, Gaider already said they woundn't expand the romances so we can safely bet on 4 LIs....but to have a Qunari LI means taking 1/4 of the romances slots and 1/2 of a romance slot of a given gender, and that's alienating people whe are not fans of the Qunari (nevermind a Qunari LI) and forcing them with only one choice.

I don't think that romances deserve that much attention anyway: 2 males and 2 females, avalible for every gender/race/class combination, and that's it; job done, moving on important matters.

[Fardreamer]

Sometimes it seems the BW writers are really out of touch with what their fans find so appealing about their games. The romanecable companions are big part of what players really enjoy. You would think they'd put more time and effort into giving people more choices.

Only have 4 LIs again sounds pretty lame. When I play a new game with a new character, I like to make them romance a new character. In my mind Lelianna was my warrior's lover, and Morrigan was my mage's lover. Making a new character be with either of them felt like cheating.

Sloth demon romance, they seem the most reasonable.

[Celtic Latino]

My prediction is:

Four romance options (2 male, 2 female)

1 male human (Cullen)
1 female human (Cassandra/other female character)
1 male elf (bald elf mage in the concept art)
1 female elf (Sera)

That is, if the romance companions are 'no more, no less', as Origins had four (Alistair, Leliana, Morrigan and Zevran) and DA2 had four (Anders, Merrill, Isabela and Fenris)..

*okay, technically five with Sebastian, but I'm not counting DLC lol*

I'm pretty much fine with that formula. I loved Fenris and Zevran so another male elf LI would be awesome (which is why hoping bald elf male), not to make assumptions but I think we're going to get Cullen in the traditional line of 'blond human male LI' (Alistair, Anders) and likely a mix of Alistair and Anders in personality, Cassandra seems to be the most obvious (then again, Aveline was one of the first to be revealed and she wasn't romanceable, you never know) and Sera just seems to be an option that everyone else mentions.

Then again, there's always surprises, so I'm not putting my prediction egg in the basket just yet.

Actually, I have always wondered just what a male Desire Demon would look like. They're pretty as they are, but for someone RPing a heterosexual female, they're not quite as attractive as they could be if they were a guy.

Of course this isn't likely to happen, but it's a thought still.

 

[hotdogbsg]

I predict....Cassandra won't be a LI.

Hope I'm wrong but have a hunch.

I'm leaning that way as well.  We've never had a female warrior LI, so it would be a nice change, but my gut is telling me it's no going to be her. 

The female LI so far have always been mages and rogues... Let's get a bad-ass, strong, but emotionally fragile/innocent barbarian women to chase.

[jtav]

I guarantee Cass will be a LI, probably the one who gets most of the marketing attention. Amd probably an ice queen in the vein of Morrigan/Miranda.
