 DAO: 1 straight male, 1 straight female, 1 bi male, 1 bi female
DA2: 2 bi males and 2 bi females

Would you want more love interests? (Even though they might not do that)

Would you want the sex scenes back?

Do we have to have another one of these?

I thought they said the romance scenes were going towards what ME1 did and that the LIs would be romancable by any player (something that I will admit I somewhat disagree with....)

And before people jump on me calling me a bigot let me just say.... the reason I disagree with every LI being romancable by every type of player character is this. Personal taste on partners and such adds a backstory to the character. Say a LI wouldn't want to be romanced by a dwarf or elf... there's another fold in there. Say a LI is interested in men only like Morrigan was or women only like Alistair was it adds a unique flavor.

The fact that every LI is romancable by any player character means I could potentailly play through as a male human mage, female human rogue, male elf rogue, and a male dwarf warrior and I'll romance the same blasted person each time.

If those are my only choices: like DA2, for certain. All bisexual/playersexual. That way everyone gets a choice.

In an ideal universe where BioWare magically has infinite zots to expend on romances without detracting from other aspects of the game, I'd like six love interests: two straight, two gay, two bi. Seems like that would be the best way of handling things, but I understand that resources are limited.

I do not want sex scenes back if they involve the characters having sex in their underwear. If they go with strategically placed shadows and discreet camera angles, then sure, why not?

I'd like the largest number of LIs possible so that each playthrough I can romance someone different. No, really! That's what I liked about the way DA2 approached them, though I didn't choose to assume that, had my PC no actual knowledge about their preferences, they were still bisexual. Given their personalities and banter, I assumed Fenris and Merrill were straight unless I was romancing them otherwise and that Isabela and Anders were bi.

Then again, I also liked having someone like Avaline that was eminently romance-able but had absolutely no interest in me. I'm a fan of options and the unexpected!

It was already confirmed by Gaider that all potential love interests will be bisexual, or at least, Inquisitorsexual.

Personally I think Mass Effect 3 did it better. Some characters were straight, some gay, and some bisexual just like the real world. Of course going that route would mean that for many player characters there are always going to be some NPCs who are unavailable as potential LIs from the start, due to the player character's orientation. But so what? Must every potential LI be available for every single player character, regardless of background or interests, from the start?

 They're not going to be all bi, and he's said repeatedly that he doesn't want to make them all sexually available to the player, the LGBQT podcast pretty much said the same and there was a really heated discussion between some people during that.

I agree.

I would prefer the DA:O route with DAO: 1 straight male, 1 straight female, 1 bi male, 1 bi female. Though I would also go further and add non-companion romances which would make 6 LIs

Also

DA2 also had a straight male LI.


I honestly don't feel as though DA2 "made" all LIs bisexual. I think it was conceivably in-character for all four of them to be bi (save for the one who wasn't).

Gaider didn't confirm anything. If anything, his talk on tumblr as well as some PAX panels hinted that not all LI will be bisexual.

Personality wise I'd say DAO, cause the romances in DA2 sucked.

DA:O, but with everyone getting the same amount of options. I am straight, but I am all for everyone being included equally. I don`t want player-sexual romances, though. Those felt fake and simplified.

I prefer the companions having preferences in personality and values more than gender. An LI includes a story that re-frames the larger narrative a bit, and losing out on the most fitting romance story because of the very first choice in the game doesn't seem like a properly telegraphed consequence.

That doesn't mean I don't want LIs to be without preferences. I just prefer a situation where my character's values may hinder a romance (DA2 - not reaching friends or rivals lock you out) over gender (DAO - just gift spam if Morrigan disapproves).

I liked more in Origins where everyone had their personalities and therefore their sexual interests
Imposing bisexuality on everyone just makes them less unique

I'd prefer more of DA:O's path, with Aveline-esque inclusions. I want there to be a straight or gay LI who rejects the player if they try to romance them. I want there to be an LI who doesn't want to bang a Qunari or a Dwarf. I want the LIs to feel more dynamic, with more personality, not just pansexual slot machines you slide tokens into for the eventual 30-second sex scene jackpot, only to leave the casino afterward.

DA2 approach unless there's going to be an increase in the resource for romances to provide the same level of choice as DA2.

Personally I would be fine with 0 romanceble companions, but if they have to be in the game I think Bioware does themselves a service to create all of them bisexual (even though Mass Effect 3's appraoch were more realistic).

Speaking of romance I would rather see some companions having a romance. I absolutely loved that Garrus and Tali got together in Mass Effect 3.

For me it isn't about romance but the setting and character of the people involved. A great momemt for me is during Mass Effect 3 when Garrus takes Shepard shooting, an awesome Bro moment.

I find romance is very difficult to include in a game such as Dragon Age, because it's a B-plot at best and thus aren't granted much time. As a result it is rarely fleshed out enough to make you truly feel something for the character.

Aw, c'mon. Stop being a sourpuss just because Isabela gave your PC herpes! ;)
