Know what kills me; this alleged "blog post" Mr. Darrah mentioned is apparently already written; the information is there for us!! It just needs to be posted! C'mon, blog people, just one more step! Hit "submit"! :P

Unfortunately there is also the 'edit and review' stage along with 'approval'. And if it is in marketing's hands (I am now picturing a Chulthu type demon) then they may be waiting for the 'right moment'.  Likely a lull between cons and other big reveals. 

 

I really wish they had handled the reveals much differently and sooner. Before people had time to headcanon their one true pairings based on pictures and very little information. Believe me, I don't blame people for doing that in any shape or form as I had my own hopes based on the exact same information. 

 

I'm just sad because one thread will get happy news (that may or may not be impacted by gating) while the other thread won't.  Good luck you guys and I hope you get choices that make you happy!

 

 

Edit - And now I really want to see that picture of him without the helmet!

I can't be bothered to look for a proper gif, but just assume I'm glaring right now x_x

I really think Blackwall will be confirmed soon and he will unfortunately be straight, no race-restrictions however.

Let's hope not. I would make a blood sacrifice of all the nugs and fennecs in Thedas just to make him at least bi. I wouldn't mind it if he's gay but I don't want him straight. And I say that as a straight woman!

that would be the worst thing that could happen having him as a romance option but only for the ladies

they already got Solas so hopefully Blackwall is bi or gay !

I just feel like all was making sense, I just knew Solas was going to be a LI but his restrictions are so tight-knit it's still a little hard to believe. Cullen is a big character, I couldn't imagine him being race-gated but for narrative reasons it makes sense, no way Cassandra is getting gated unless Vivienne is open to everyone yet it's insinuated the last character won't be gated. This is giving me a headache lol.

I do like how our relationship is stated to "change over time" with Blackwall, that kinda gives the impression he's a LI at least to me.

Yeah, giving straight women the same privilege that straight men used to have is not the way to go. And if he's gay, well then I guess I'm gonna have a lot of gay male inquisitors.

I'm hoping for at least bisexual. I don't like any of my three options so far. Blackwall you're my only hope.

I'd prefer it if there was no privilege at all. Give everyone equal options. That isn't going to happen, but a girl can dream.

That would make 3 romanceable straight guys. That's overkill.

 

This would give straight women twice the amount of romance options as gay men. I would hope that scenario would have registered with the writers when distributing the romance options and would have been avoided.

 

He should be bisexual so that everyone can romance him.

Blackwall can only be a romance if they somehow make Vivienne also a LI because I can't imagine Bioware giving the straight males (Cassandra and Josephine)

less options then gay males (Dorian, Iron Bull and Blackwall)

I'm still more in favour of Blackwall, he brings something new to the table we already had the ice queen and agenda type with Morrigan(not saying that Vivienne wouldn't be awesome)

This is not a writing team that cares about making quotas or pleasing/catering to certain bases. They make sure everyone is represented and everyone has choices because they're awesome like that. But mostly they make story and character decisions that are based on good writing... so if it works for the character to a romance, then so be it. Not to meet a quota... but because it works for that character.

Well, if he is a LI and not straight, then he would be the first non-straight knight in shining armor type.....ever.  That would certainly be new.  Blackwall would break many stereotypes. It would be great.

Always room for more stereotype breaking.  

 

I want to see tiny shards of pulverized stereotype all over the place.
