In a perfect world, I think it'd be best to have six love interests, each with a set sexuality (one gay, one straight, and one bisexual love interest per gender). However, I (personally) really loved the "all bi" love interests from DA2, and would be 1000% fine with seeing them return for Inquisition. I didn't think it was strange or "unbelievable" at all to have four people in the same place interested in your character regardless of gender. Being bi myself probably contributes to that.rasloveszev wrote...
Would you want more love interests? (Even though they might not do that)
Would you want the sex scenes back?
As for sex senes, I really don't care about them one way or another. I think having a scene be super explicit might be awkward (what's it called? Uncanny Valley?), but I'm fine with it in general, and I'm fine with fade to black. Whatever.
And no more gay relationships, or at least only one or two, no more than that. Some people said romancing Bethany would be immoral but being a gay and romancing another gay is just the same **** it's not better.
Homophobia in da house! Woo!
Lol not really, I think it just wasting the budget to make all characters bi, one or two should be enough.
I m not a homophobe lol. I just don't understand why some people made a fuss about incest with Bathany (Mary Kirby even called someone here a creep, she who write homosexual stories, nice) and romancing her but being gay it's ok. Incest is just a danger for the futur of humanity that's why it's not good, but homosexuality is exactly the same thing and the same danger if everyone would be ****** our world would be doomed. But in both cases ****** and incest I would just say who you are to judge a relationship, if a man wants to love another man well it's his problem, if a brother and a sister love each other well it's not your problem.
Well I don't have a problem with this, I just don't want to see all characters bi, this is plain stupid and this means more dialogues and more budget, they can use the budget for better things than that
Can you just imagine Cassandra being bi or Varric ? That makes no sense.

In Origins on the gender option in the character creation it says stuff about both being regarded as equals..the only thing that is really different sides some people calling you a man or woman is who is interested in you
Not every impact needs to be huge but that's the result of choosing what gender you want to play as
It wasnt in Dragon age two really and that was the only one I could stand playing as a different gender long enough to beat the game.
In Origins the only romance restictions were for gender but they did make each race a little different and that was cool, why not just do that with gender. it takes nothing away and adds stuff to the game.
Honestly in my opinion, I feel that it cheapens the characters just to satisfy players who don't want to deal with the fact that a character they want to romance isn't interested in said gender
And it doesn't add stuff to the game
So does making Alistair Become king Or Merrill killing her demon mirror..or any of the big choices with a party member but thats a big part of the game, you dont have to talk to anyone at all if you dont want them to seem cheap.
If it really is that important to a character then they shouldnt be romancable at all. Like Aveline who ended up with Donnic
It adds more to a party member cause you have a slightly different romance with them so if youre really interseted in them you can make a lot of characters and see everything that character say/react to.
thats kinda neat, right? da2 had a few different lines like that without doing it over the top or weird

I see no downside to playersexual love interests. None at all.
The downside is that it makes the companion characters feel a little less real. Their personalities and interests are now being issued to them by the player character rather being determined by those characters themselves.
To use an example, imagine for a moment if characters had no set opinion on the Mage-Templar conflict until the player character told them which way to lean. These characters would be pro-Mage if the player character was pro-Mage, pro-Templar if the player character is pro-Templar. Its kind of the same thing.
Sometimes I have no opinion about things my friends care passionately about, but I go along with them because I don't feel like talking about it all the time.

I want every character in the game to be romanceable. At the same time.
Dragon Age: Cluster**** Edition (I know that's not getting past the Carlin filter)
Then they go and form a utopian commune, where everybody sleeps with everybody.
Personally, I hate this whole monogamy restriction. If two companions want to romance me at once, well we'll just find a nice spot somewhere in Utah, errrr Orlais, and all of us live happily ever after together.
J/k, but I did like the whole love triangle that happened with Haer'Dalis, Aerie, and you, if you romanced her in BG2. He might even challenge you to a duel over her. That was interesting stuff. The kind of stuff I've never seen since. Too bad.
(*) Yes, there were mods that took care of that problem, in BG2, and DA:O. Monogamy is so un-Thedan.

It would be pretty epic if there weren't any romances.
Is your avatar from Durarara!!? I watched a few episodes of it and I remember seeing a girl with that helmet on, I think!
Anyways, I never romanced anybody in DA:O or DA2 for some reason, so I can't really answer this, but I want my character to romance someone in DA:I. I would prefer them not to be all bisexual, but I would deal either way.

You have no idea how the resources/game development works, do you?
More than you could imagine, I could teach you something on this topic
Just for exemple if you have a bi character you need to do more work, Kaidan won't have the same dialogues with Shepard male and Shepard female, and the writing and the dubbing aren't free you genius.
So 4 or 6 bi characters ? Just a big waste of money and time.

Please do.
I didn't realize changing he to she (or completely avoiding gender tones, which is what they seem to go with), was expensive. The romances are shallow enough that they aren't expensive to do bi LIs in the first place. They are not near as indepth as you think.
Cheaper than 6 set orientation characters since Bioware is deadset on equal choices.
That's not why they closed the LI forums.

How so?
Assigning sexual orientation to a fictional character is entirely arbitrary. People want to talk about the backgrounds, personalities, and identities of these characters, but the only thing orientation would change is whether they've dated (or wed) males, females, both, or neither.
I've not seen much in the way of gender role-playing (where males are expected to do this and females are expected to do that) in Thedas. They are pretty much equal, so the gender of the person(s) with whom they are intimate is largely irrelevant and tells us next to nothing about them.

I have to agree, as much as I love Dragon Age love, they only gave the illusion of depth. I think DA2 had more depth simply because you and the LI have more personal missions to go on.

You said it makes them seem cheap. so does making them end up agreeing with you over anything they hold strongly.
If them only liking one type of person is important I really dont think they should end up with Your character but some other party member or an npc or something.
I already why I cant but why cant you just only romance certain characters with a certain gender or race?
I could get over restrictions but I dont agree with them being in the game for any reason, I dont think they make any partymember more complex and they take away options on making the story different from playthough to playthough

I have no issues with bisexual LI or set sexualities. Only thing I take issue with is Player sexuality.

Can you pretend that they have a set sexuality? they really dont talk about what they like to much at all.
Morirgan and Alistair are pretty much nonsexual beings in my mind.

I don't bother with the romances much in the first place. (Since just about none of them even fit my character), but it bothers me. Of course, it doesn't bother me enough that I'll make a fuss if they stay that way.
