I'd rather characters had a defined sexuality. If that means that my Inquisitor is going to end up being shot down, so be it. Sometimes those scenes can be quite good as well. One of my favorites from Mass Effect 2 was the scene where Samara chooses her code over Shepard, and tells him or her "In another time...another life." Ironically it was one of the best romance scenes in the series.

That situation is more like Aveline in DA2 than an issue of set sexuality, though. They could easily have one of the many companions that aren't LIs shoot you down.

As if companions' sexuality based on PC choice of word is natural and not forced.
Let the companions and their writers themselves choose what gender, race, age, beliefs etc they prefer, not the player

 

Because coercing companions into the PC's opinions is better ? of deciding who they'll marry and who they'll sleep with ?

 

In DA the PC always steamroll over his/her companion's will, yet all we hear about is this so-called playersexuality™.

Samara isn't really so much a case of a set sexuality, but rather having priorities incongruous to a serious romance. This is something that could easily apply to one or more companions in the next DA game, though it wouldn't be gender-specific.

Samara is an Asari and they're pansexual by nature, so it's kind of the opposite of a set sexuality thing.

And I'd be so very fine with that.

Samara rejecting my Shep because she valued her code more than romance was indeed character-building and added depth to her story. If she had rejected my Shep because of her gender, that would have told me little more than that she's not into women.

That is why I have my doubts about the whole 'added depth' argument. Being straight or gay simply for the sake of being straight or gay (as opposed to bisexual) does not seem to add much as far as character depth goes, certainly not more than them being bisexual would have.

In DA2 Hawke's influence on the companions is done terribly IMHO
In DAO it is actually an important part of character development
And at least it is aknowledged by story, and not just programming code deciding which line of dialogue should pop out as an answer

I just meant I liked how the scene played out, not that it was about sexuality for Samara. After all she rejects Shepard regardless of gender. I was just using it as an example that having a character be rejected is not necessarily a bad thing.

 

I mentioned it because one of the frequent arguments against characters having a set sexuality is that it would be unfair in setting up a rejection scene for characters of a certain gender. But a well-written rejection scene can be just as good as scenes where a romance actually takes place.

So forcing Alistair to marry Anora and sleep with Morrigan to have an unwanted child is okay ?

 

'Cause to me it's major moral abuse.

Who ever says he has to sleep with Anora? To quote young Simba and Scar from The Lion King, "I am the king. I can do whatever I want."

 

They get married. I'm sure sex is involved. Besides its not just part of his marital duties, its part of his patriotic duty. He's got to try and produce a future monarch.

[Blackrising]

Well, he's male.

 

If you think he didn't enjoy the sex with either Morrigan or Anora, you don't know men.

 

I'm getting angrier by the minute. I do believe people like you are the reason male rape victims are still afraid of coming forward.
I will not discuss this further, nor will I say anything else on the matter. Not if I want to remain civil.

 

Let's return to discussing the romance, please.

 

So. Iron Bull. Anyone think he might be one of the options? I'd personally love if he was. I like big, strong men.

Oh, boo. I was linked here specifically to see the offensive posts.

You're tilting at windmills.

 

Alistair didn't get raped. Whether he marries Anora or does the dark ritual with Morrigan (or both), its entirely consentual.

DA is not a fairy tale. Character development is not always kind to them, it is not always make them happier. A good story doesn't always ends in a perfect happy ending
Oh, and in my walkthroughs he does not do any of these
