 What I like about the DA2 romance over the DAO romance is that in DA2 you had option for a homosexual relationship, but in DAO you only had 1 for each gender. I wouldn't mind going back to the restricted orientation model, but it seems unfair that you'd get only 1 homosexual love interest, but two hetrosexual love interests.

Do we really need to flame this topic up again?

Oh, it's already Wednesday.

Well, equal options for equal people and everyone can be happy. I don't care what specific model Bioware will use.

From what I've gathered, they are going the "pansexual" route again, leaving the LIs open for both genders. I highly doubt we'll have another companion hit on us first, since that caused an uproar last time. I'm not 100% certain on any of that, mind you. However, from what I've read on Gaider's blog, it seems like the most cost effective solution.

Writers are on a "word budget" and romances are the most costly of them. It takes a lot of money to create the dialog for those romances, as well as animation, voice acting, ect. Gaider talked at Gaymer Con about why they've chosen the more "pansexual" or "herosexual" route. If you have the time, I'd really recommend the romance panel for Gaymer Con. It's up on youtube.

Here's the link if you'd like to check it out. It's insightful and pretty funny in parts.

There are more Heterosexuals than Homosexuals in BioWare's target audience and in general.

There's always newcomers to the site and many times those threads aren't active.  There is nothing wrong with asking.

The problem is, a lot of people want to make characters "gay" for the sake of being equal but you have to consider that each companion has their own personality and character, sometimes being homosexual doesnt fit the persona of a certain character, same way not every party member is diverse in terms of ethnicity, just for the sake of pleasing every ethnic group

There shouldn't be any romances at all.

Wrong game company then.  Most game companies that create RPGs don't have PC driven romances.  Knock yourself out.

Well, it never bothered, so I'm all for playersexual players.

... and as we all know, no heterosexual players ever play homosexual characters.

The OP has a 4 day old thread that's basically the same

[Grieving Natashina]

 Eh, I have a simple philosophy.  If I think the thread is pointless, I have no need to tell the OP so.
Food for thought.

Same. I've never seen the problem with the 'playersexual' route of designing romances and see it as the best way they can handle the whle romance element.

[HiddenInWar]

Yep. I'm looking forward to them.

Your orientation is independent of your personality.

Ugh, twerking. I remember the first time I saw twerking.



Anyhow, pansexuality seems to be the plan. David Gaider is pretty open to tweets and emails, if you have anything to ask him. Of course he can't talk about Inquisition, but he's great about answering questions.

This is the link to his blog post about romances in general. His blog in general is worth the archive binge.

I must make it clear that I, Br3ad, agree with the assertation made by these two posters. That is why I am quoting them, because I agree with them.
