First of all, this is very shoddy logic. For the simple reason that societies encourging a large population is a vastly different thing from societies claiming sex has no merit except procreation.

Secondly, you should consider what those socieities have in common besides being collectivist and militent.

1) They encouraged sex for the express reason of procreation. The North Koreans, the ****'s, the ChiComs, and the Soviets also believed in not having sex unless it did benefit the state. It wasn't enforced, but it fell along their ideology. Furthermore, the Japanese were conditioned to believe that the main purpose in their life was to serve the Emperor and Japan. Everything they did was expected to be in service to the country. 

2) I can consider what they did have in common, and what they differed in. But that wasn't your stipulation David. Your stipulation was in wondering what collectivist and militant nations existed that did discouraged sex beyond procreation. I gave you a list of 5 states that existed that held such perspectives (to varying degrees). 

Can you name a modern collectivist an militant state that doesn't hold such perspectives today?

This thread is much in need of exterminatus.

... eh? Or the writing and resources available could, y'know, handle sexuality with more practicality.

How so?

By giving characters varied, defined preferences?

Worked just fine in DA:O: some were open, and some weren't.

Oh wait, I'm a male and an adult.

I'll have sex with the desire demon I summon before I implant it into your body to turn it into a revenant.

Well, Our Lord Gaider said that he would not do so unless there could be enough LIs for a range of full romance equality, so if you desire this sort of thing, best get pushing for more romances.

I care only to try a big tall horned woman as PC.  : )

I wouldn't get my hopes up, judging by the artwork the fem Qunari seem to have the normal female body model (height and physique) + horns. 

They seem to be at least a little bit taller. Even if the comics don't show a big difference, I highly doubt BW would make them the same height and build.

Female Qunari have to be at least 6'4'' or I'm not interested.

Actually Xil's trying to shut the thread down once it became personal. Xil's done similar things in the Templar thread.

Like I said he's gone on the record and said he doesn't like playersexual(as recently as a few days ago) and doesn't want to give us the ability to romance everyone, and again JP( Jonathan Perry) said I wouldn't say anyone can romance anyone but there's certain characters who fancy a certain type.

Which is all in the link I provided in one of my previous posts after, posting it in the new approval system thread.

There's going maybe 4 romancable companions and some npc's that won't all be bi sexual to give us more options, it has nothing to do with preference since some characters that I play as are BI rather it's based on everything they've said over the last year.

If there'll be 4 companions LI and two NPC, there'll still be six LI. 
Though the fact that Gaider stated that he doesn't want to make all companions LI doesn't mean that there'll not be 6 companion LI. The number of companions is nine. 9=/=6.

If he's said he wants fewer as in 3 li companions then why do you think there's going to be 6 LI companions, it's unlikely and I really don't understand why you're arguing with me.

If they do 4 LI companions 2 Straight 2 Bi, and a bunch of NPC ones some straight, some bi and some gay which would give us many options and not have every companion be romancable which he already confirmed that they won't on his Twitter which also fits everything they've been saying.

Right, that one, saw it before but forgot about it. Did it just come out? Do we know if the person on knee is a Qunari or not? If it is human, it appeals to be a male and it seems like the Inquisitor might be a few inches taller if he was standing up. Also, that Inquisitor looks pretty badass, the armor kind of reminds me of Chantry robes.

That the person in the robes might be another Qunari seems unlikely to me, no horns and no other indicators. I guess its a human, and if he wasn't kneeling I'd say he would be at least as tall as the inquisitor. Knees are at the same height even though the robe dudes lower leg is angled. The male Qunari was MUCH taller than the human male so the difference between male and female Qunari is going to be massive. 
She also has the body build of a slim female human. So far I'm not impressed.

About the outfit, thats clothes, not armor. Looks cool but I wouldn't want my warrior wear that as armor as it seems to have zero protectiveness.

Massive size differences between males and females in fantasy isn't uncommon, even if we don't like it. But hey, it is just concept art, they may actually be taller in game and probably a bit blukier to go with the size, really hoping they don't stay as thin as a human female but end up being a lot taller, would look wierd. I think maybe a good head/head and a half would be a good height difference between a male human and female qunari.

Hey, there could some chainmail or something under there:P

Also now that I'm looking at it, I hope that we can give female qunari bigger horns, not really digging the tiny devil/forehead horns.

Yeah, and I cant put in words how tired I am of this stereotype. Its funny that developers still think male gamers want to play either ridiculously bulky body builder giants or female catwalk models.
Believability be damned. Its like we're still stuck in the 90's.

Also now that I'm looking at it, I hope that we can give female Qunari bigger horns, not really digging the tiny devil/forehead horns.

Me too, though I doubt they're going to give us adjustable horns, I think it would simply be too much trouble designing a variety of helmets for thousands of horn shape and size variations, not to mention making the horns fit in cut scene.
The tiny forehead-horns would be an easy solution for BW.
