Just because the forums have decided that Cullen has to be an NPC romance is not indication that they will be doing a 2/2/2.

 

 

You get a like for this sir.  <hat tip>

[phantomrachie]

That being said, I do still think having both NPC romances bisexual would be the most fair choice, if they're both having 2 NPC LIs and doing the 2/2/2 system. 

 

 

How would it be more fair than one NPC being straight and the other being gay? As long as the companion romances filled out the rest of the 2/2/2 its all fair.

Thank you very much

Because NPC romances are inherently considered as secondary in comparison to companion romances, so IF it's 2/2/2 (bleh) with two NPC romances, each side has a companion and a NPC...while if say the male NPC is bi and the female NPC lesbian, then a straight male PC would have two companions while a gay male PC would have a companion and a NPC.

 

However, we're venturing whith a lot of ifs right now.

oh okay - I don't necessarily see it that way but I get it now.

 

Thanks for explaining

Seems to me that the person playing the bisexual inquisitor is the one who comes out ahead. They'll have two potential LI's in the party and two out of it.

The bisexual player character will always come out ahead in a numbers game.

 

I think we shouldn't start acting as if it's fact that this is how the romances will turn out. Nothing's been decided and the tone of some of these posts seem as if it has.

That's just unavoidable. The only way for bisexuals to not get more options is to just never have bisexual LIs. 

 

Edit - Actually, I can't math. Even that doesn't do it.

Of course, because somone that likes two things will ALWAYS be able to have more options that someone who likes one of two things.

 

There's simply no way around it, it's not physically possible to make it so bi PC have as many options as straight or gay PC.

I'm a little lost, why is everyone so sure there will be a 2/2/2 split?
Last I heard there was a good chance they are romanceble by the inquisitor of either gender.
I'm not even sure that we have been told how many romance options we will have, some guess 4 others say 6. Is this only because of Cullen being announced as an Li?

At a panel they confirmed that Cullen and Cassandra are LI's, and also hinted that Iron bull is a companion and a warrior. They also said that the companions will be a 3/3/3 split between the classes. 

 

Since we already know about three warrior companions (Grey Warden, Cassandra, Iron Bull) It looks like Cullen will be an NPC romance, and people don't think they would make an NPC romance if we only have 4 LI's, since it would give us only one male companion LI.

Wait, hinted that Iron Bull is a companion? I thought they out-and-out confirmed him?!

[Sylvianus]

I'm lost too. They confirmed Iron Bull as a companion and as a warrior at the panel ? ( I don't think so as far as I am concerned. )

 

edit : People shouldn't assume that speculation is fact.

Ok didn't know about IB, but the GW has't been comfirmed. I know he was in a screenshot and has consept art, but not to say he will be a companion nor a warrior. Keep in mind what ppl thought of Duncan before DAO.

 

Don't get me wrong I'm all for the GW as a companion, but I really don't want to look at him as confirmed until he is. Been disapointed that way before

Even if he isn't confirmed I think it is probably fairly likely that he is a companion.

 

Consider that we already know that Cassandra (officially confirmed) and the bearded Grey Warden (gameplay preview) are warrior companions. Given that the devs have stated that there will be an even distribution of gameplay classes, and everything seems to indicate that there will be 9 companions, that means there should be one more warrior companion for an even 3/3/3 split with the rogues and mages.

 

The Iron Bull seems a lot more likely for that third warrior than Cullen. Cassandra's pro-Chantry leanings would be very similar to Cullen's templar viewpoint, whereas the Iron Bull, as a Tal Vashoth mercenary, would offer a completely unique perspective in comparison. Also both Cassandra and the Grey Warden are sword-and-board warriors which probably means the third will wield a two-handed sword. Cullen is another sword-and-board type while all the concept art for the Iron Bull depicts him wielding a two-handed sword.

From what I remember reading they said you can equip him with two handed weapons. That sounds like it confirms both.

He's appeared in gameplay footage in a "behind the scene" video and in concept art. He was also stated to be a companion and a Warrior in an armour customization panel way back, though that was a while ago. Personally I regard him as almost as good as confirmed after that gameplay footage.

[Melima]

Yes, to the option of an older and more experienced, and possibly more grounded individual. While I now know all I initially admired about Duncan isn't true, I find him interesting, humble and handsome.

It's definitely possible that some of the assumptions wont pan out, but it seems to me that Cassandra is the most likely for the heterosexual slot if they go with 2/2/2. It's to the point that I'd actually be surprised if it ended up someone else, honestly.

Oh Mort, why must you hurt me so?

 

As much as it pains me, though, I agree. I feel as though if there will be strictly straight LIs, Cass will be one of them. And that is gonna be a serious problem for me, because I love her to bits, but I simply cannot imagine romancing her as a guy. There is absolutely zero chance of me doing so. If Sera or Vivienne or even Scribe Girl was male-only, then I think I could give it a try. I don't know how much I'd enjoy it, but there is nothing that inherently puts me off about it except for my preference for female PCs.

 

But romancing Cass as a man literally makes me go 'NOPE not gonna happen what the heck is even wrong with you'. I just....that is something I can't do. Which means I'd never experience her romance path (I couldn't even watch it on Youtube, that's how much the thought kills me) and THAT means I'm gonna sob pitifully whenever she appears on screen.

 

Bioware games, ladies and gentlemen, the number one reason I am not a happy person. ...

[Nocte ad Mortem]

Well, I hope the romances will just stay available to everyone so we can avoid this entirely.

Has it been comfirmed about 2/2/2 ? Everyone keeps talking about it i haven`t seen it confirmed , i want player sexual so i can have any LI with any Inquisitor .

No it's just the prevailing belief so far.

No, nothing's been confirmed. It's just an educated guess.

And I doubt the devs are gonne confirm or deny anything anytime soon, if only to keep feeding on your fan-tears.

[smoke and mirrors]

I hope it`s not that way but o well

[Nocte ad Mortem]

I hope they tell us what the system they're using is in time to pre-order, at least. I don't need to know right away. Even a three or four months from now is fine. I just don't really want to pre-order on uncertainty. I mostly trust Bioware and I'm not going to refuse buying the game over 2/2/2, but I would just feel way more comfortable pre-ordering if I knew what I was getting into. It's just all the cryptic "we might not even say until release" stuff that makes me nervous. I'll probably just wait until after release to buy it, if that's the case. The characters are the most important part of the game for me. I just want to know who the companions are, which ones are LIs and what distribution their sexuality structure for the game is. I could even stand to not know which characters are which sexuality until release, or maybe one hidden companion if there's a story reason, like Loghain. It's just, to me, this information is a lot more important than combat system details. It's what I base my purchase on, so I'd like a vague idea of what I'm going to be getting.

I think it's time for a prayer circle.

I totally agree with you.
I know some people here will think less of me for it, but the romance specifics are important to me and I will not pre-order or buy DA:I until I know for sure. Leaving some things a surprise is all good and well, but in this one area I refuse to go in blind. I did so with DA:O (after having played DA2 first) and was disappointed when my FemWarden's personal arc couldn't reach a (for me) satisfying conclusion, since I didn't like Leliana and couldn't romance Morrigan. I also went into every Mass Effect game like that and was disappointed. Therefore, I will not do so again.
I want to know who I can romance as which Inquisitor. That is all. After I have closed that topic for myself, I can happily lean back and wait for autumn.

[In Exile]

Where did this assumption that DAI was would have 6 romances come from (2/2/2 or otherwise)? The only source I remember suggested 4 romances, 2 genders each, and characters being available for all genders like DA2.
