A BioWare game without sex is no BioWare game at all.

You misspelled Witcher lol

Also I just remembered I read some kind of article a few months ago about how there were sex scenes but were remade by a female dev because some looked like rape scenes? I'm not sure if the source I read that from was very reliable :P

I HATE Doc. You're a medic and you act like a smuggler. His character was so weak and flip flopped... writers didn't know what he was. 

 

YEAH, who ever heard of smugglers healing? <eyes her scoundrel>

 

I didn't find him inconsistent, either. He's a scoundrel with a heart of gold gosh where have I heard of that before.

There ya go.

Seems like they are using the tarot designs of the characters as avatars/logo's for the characters ingame. Unless I'm mistaken.

 

Where did you get this high quality picture? The only picture of the Inquisitor's Edition that I have is like, super tiny...

That bloody tentacle...

His entire character is a stereotype and has NOTHING underneath it, though. Like, all I got was, "smug statement haha im a womaniser let me make a quip about this OH NO unethical treatment grr letsgetmarried" I didn't get anything more than him being an archetype of a personality.

I think it was David Gaider (I could be wrong, sorry), when he was talking about how important it is to have women in the dev team. Someone had written a romance scene and all the men in the team ok-ed it, but the women pointed out how it potentially could be seen as 'rape-y', and suddenly the men could see it too and wondered how on earth they missed that.

I think Gaider wrote him , think he said he was writing two romances ...can't be Cole , and one is Cassandra.

And if I remember correctly he said in his blog he did something in Inquisition he always wanted to do but never had the opportunity before.

So I'm thinking m/m romance.

 

I was of this same opinion before that War Table group shot (except I thought that the other companion DG was writing was Solas). Now however, I am 99% convinced that he's writing Cole. The second romance he is writing therefor could be either a non-companion romance (like with Scribbles or something) or a romance arc with Jennifer Helper's character (considering that she wrote a companion for DAI before she left). Of course, Dorian could be JH's character... In fact, it isn't implausible at all...

Coles not a LI that would just be beyond creepy and DG already made that clear.

People who didn't read the book had no idea. Not their fault. It's all clear now. I don't think Terrian meant they think Cole is an LI, though.

No I didn't mean Cole at all! That's super creepy. I thought I was being clear when I said the other romance arc is probably with a non-companion or JH's character.

Didn't DG write Asunder? It'd only be logical if he wrote Cole for DA:I as well.

I'd put my money on Patrick Weekes as Dorian's writer tho. 

EDIT: Assuming Patrick Weekes wrote any of the characters, I haven't really been following the authors much.

I liked her a lot and she had a strong agenda. She cut the BS and she also was pretty direct about getting real answers about this Ubisoft BS as well as focusing on the female presence in the game. She also seemed to know her stuff. 

Funny, I thought her questions seemed rather redundant and vague, like she hadn't played the games and just kept throwing out generic non-questions to maintain her presence. Interesting how different people can witness the same event and see two completely disparate things.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Dorian will work well alongside Varric? With what we know about the companions so far, it seems to me that every companion relationship could really go either way depending on the most dominant beliefs/traits that separate the two characters. But Dorian has that kind of roguish charm look about him that says to me that he and Varric would get up to some antics together.

So since Leliana has been outright confirmed not to be a LI and Cole has been pretty much confirmed not to be a love interest, I guess that makes Dorian's chances of being a LI that much more likely right? Right? Please Bioware this is the only thing I want from this game...

Well, Chee has been responding to Dorian stuff. She replied to my tweet about my Dorian-related illness and she doesn't reply to many.

I guess I just liked her because she was grilling for direct answers about things that I am passionate about.

I can assure you that there is a 99.9% chance that Dorian will be a LI
and a 99.99% that he'll be a s/s LI if you're into that.

I'm still hoping he's not a s/s exclusive cause I really want to do a female inquisitor playthrough because it's traynors VA!! And I'd choose Dorian over Cullen any day

I love Dorian's Calrissean style. If he isn't romanceable by a Femquisitor I will cry... and then promptly roll a dude to smooch him.

 

If he isn't romancable by anyone I will cry... and place him in my heart next to Aveline. We coulda had it all...

 

Cullen WAS going to be my first PT LI... but with Dorian around... Cullen would have to seal the deal before I meet Dorian I think.

Also this might be the first time I go for a s/s romance in game if Dorian is gay. But with Sera being a lesbian and me not wanting to end up with Lady Strong Jaws or a "mysterious" woman who's supposed to have some kind of master secret which is probably how she grows tentacles under the sun and hides them under those ridiculous hats who's had more facetime than the inquisitor himself/herself, I might just stick with Dorian lol, should be amusing.

Edit: bad english oops

Edit 2: Forgot to mention that I find Dorian to be incredibly interesting and quite good-looking too (understatement, I know).

It's definitely 99% guaranteed he's romancible.

 

And it's probably likely he'll be s/s if Solas isn't, although Dorian has a higher chance I think. 

 

I'll be a little sad if lady Quizzies can't have him but I'll cope by making a really pretty effeminate male elf. :P

I still feel sorry for straight females since mass effect 3

If you don't have Kaidan and you didn't romance garrus in mass effect 2, you literally have no options but to be a forever alone lol.

Umm... ahhhhhhh...

 

Maybe you should reword that statement... just give a few tweaks. Maybe remove certain parts, parts that might come off as offensive to certain people like "exotic wonder" or "from Africa".

Don't even hint at mentioning Thane. Building hopes in log entries and twitter hints and then that absolute crud. I'll never forget that.

lol yeah... if you ended up with thane or jacob you get burned no matter what. 

 

the DA team has always been better to their fans, but i'm slightly disappointed they didn't just make everyone bisexual like in da2. it was easier that way

We have strong coping mechanisms. I've been honing mine since Baldur's Gate 2 and Haer'Dalis' romance was cut. Because Anomen was just... ugh.

 

At least Kaidan is by far my favorite of the Mass Effect romances. That helps the sting.

 

So while I REALLY REALLY REALLY want Dorian smoochs... if I can get them with a girl, I will roll a guy to trade mustache grooming tips with Dorian.

I would've preferred with they stayed with EVERYONE IS BI but wrote the f/m, m/m, and f/f romances for each character differently. Cuz then you could play "In THIS AU with a FemQunari mage quisitor... suddenly Varric liked horns!"
