By normal I mean...

• Not a pirate.Not an elf that might otherwise be acceptable if he didn't live in a house filled with dead rotting bodies.

I fancy pirates. And I liked Isabela.

But: all of DA2's NPCs were too much defined by a single trait. Fenris: I hate magic. Anders: I free mages. Isabela: Sex!, Merrill: Blood Magic! These characters were walking issues, not real people.

DAO's characters were more natural, they had a mix of traits and weren't so noticeably archetypes. For that reason I liked them better as a rule.

 
I kind of disagree. I kind of liked that they had something that each was passionate about, perhaps outside of the PC's scope of interest. In Fenris' case, I liked how, as a mage, you could temper his dislike for magic, and he really grew as a character IMO.

I liked that, too. I even romanced him with my mage revolutionary femHawke. That was quite unexpected.

But there was too much focus on that trait. Or rather, there wasn't enough other stuff about him that wasn't about slavery and magic. Leliana and Alistair talked about all sorts of things, Isabela, Fenris and Anders only about one.

Isabela was the most 'normal' LI in DA2 which should explain a lot.

Anders was the most normal.

"I want all party members to be bisexual love interests! "

How about no? One of the things I hated in DA2 is that they were all bi. It only served to cheapen the characters and give their love scenes less of a unique feel to them. Are we trying to imply that everyone in Thedas is bisexual and that there's no straight people that exist?

Have your straight characters, have your gay characters, and then be done with it. Stop trying to make EVERYONE happy.

Of course he was, threesome galore.

I'd like to have them more like DA:O's LI's.

[Battlebloodmage]

If there are 6 LIs then DAO with 1 gay, 1 straight, 1 bi, if only 4 then all bis.

[Luiren]

I'm up for either. I would just prefer more of an in-depth romance, not just picking answers to appease. As that has already been discussed somewhere I am content to wait and see.

4 bisexual broodmothers. Games would sell like crazy. 

[XxPrincess(x)ThreatxX]

I find it weird that alot of people call DA2 unrealistic not because of the presence of dragons, demons, magic, elves etc but because it has 4 potential same sex relationships in it rather then just 1 like in DA:O, i don't see the problem of more romance choices & if you don't like a option then it can easily be ignored.

[Tinxa]

I would also love to have some non-companion "romances".

I thought it was great in origins how you could choose to have a relationship with Gorim, city elf had a fiancee, human noble could have someone spending the night... and you could decide how you felt about those people. I'd love to see something similar again so the PC can also have a romantic past.

I'd also like the option to romance someone who's not a companion like Steve or Traynor in ME3. The romance could be a lot smaller in scope (and even not go beyond talking, like Sebastian) but I think it would be a nice additional option.

If they are all bi, which one will pull a Traynor?

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).

Anders?

I cannot even take you seriously with that avatar 

Anyway, MOAR threesome for DA:I  even if the third is an unwilling participant like Justice. I mean c'mon, it even got Isabela's attention, not that its something rare lol. But I agree with her, we all need a good smithing now and then

lolwut. Anders hits on male Hawke and there is no way to turn him down without gaining rivalry points.

Anyway he meant sebastian. He is 100% straight.

[*]This is what I disliked about the romances in DA2.  I would have been much happier if Fenris and Andres were true to their ideas.  I didn't like the idea that Hawke was sooooo AWSOME that it was possible for me to get Fenris' help in fighting for the mages at the end of the game.  And the same with Anders.  The fact that he helps me fight against the Mages, was really rather boring to me.   At least Sabastion had one belief you couldn't move him from.  I like that in a character.

[*]edit some days quotes and I do not get along.  Today is one of those days.

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

Would you want the sex scenes back?

I'd prefer a third option, which somewhat resembles DAO

2 straight, 2 bi, 2 gay characters.  One of each gender

So yeah, more LI options

I'm fine with fade to black.

THIS!

I would actually like 1 straight, 1 gay and a couple of whatever.  But then I'd also like someone who didn't like my politics or who hated mages or templars and couldn't be rivaled and a couple who could be swayed to a different viewpoint.  Don't expect that either, but it would be fun to replay so many options.

[Iron Fist]

We need NPC LIs too.

Athenril, Grace, and Lia should have been LIs in DA2.

I'm all for more LI. 

This would work for me too.  I love the romance in ME1 and I loved the bedroom scene, but having them go into the tent or bedroom, or show them reaching towards one another and then fade off, that would work.

What I mean is that I think he was conviently bi, because in awakening he seemed quite straight.  (or maybe that's just me).

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?

Could you link to this? Because I don't recall any info about this.

In one of the older threads where this topic was discussed I had said I preferred ME3's model, where characters had set romantic interests that the player couldn't alter. Some would be heterosexual, some homosexual, and some bisexual, and if you're player character isn't their type...tough.

Someone replied to my post by saying Gaider had already confirmed they were going to the DA2 route.

Since I don't follow Twitter or every scrap of news, I just accepted that as fact.

Perhaps that's my fault for believing anything posted on the BSN that doesn't also provide a credible source. Never go full retard!
