Most likely....seems fitting no?

True. I figure if they could reveal Sera on TV of all places, they could drop us a line at Gaymer X.

I suppose the risk in making all these plans is that people might be even more bitterly disappointed if he ends up not being an LI at all, or not available to whichever gender/race/class you're imagining now. 

 

The thing is, all my plans will change when I get my hands on the game, and randomly stumble on a very interesting design for my inquisitor in the CC and then I'll roleplay them according to what their looks might indicate. The only thing I'm sure about is that in my first playthrough I'll play either a mage or a warrior, either a human or a dwarf, who romances Cassandra and take Cassandra, Varric and either Dorian or Blackwall (depending on which class I end up choosing) as my party members.

 

As for GaymerX, well, hopefully they'll reveal who the m/m option is then. I'm really impatient for them to reveal another male LI anyways.

 

(And hopefully we'll get a quote and close-up pic for Dorian tonight.  :crying: )

Unless he's not an m/m romance ;)

But yes, I'm also hoping for a Dorian reveal tonight.

 

Though I have no idea what they're doing as far as marketing is going. It was consistent for a bit with the companion quotes and then the interviews with the writers, but Varric kind of appeared out of nowhere.

Somewhere someone pointed out that with Sera/Iron Bull/Blackwall/Vivienne, they first gave us a picture with a quote, then posted their profiles a few days later (though it wasn't the case with Cassandra). Maybe that's what's happening here.

Yeah, but there's much more beforehand.

I've read this and look this over again and I still find this hard to cite from. The grammar is good and it tell the events in the demo but, the word is sloppy and feels rushed. I get that this was written after a day on the showroom floor so I can understand why it feels rushed. But, with its loose wording they could anything and people take it as truth.

As I said earlier, it's between him and Blackwall. I don't mind either way.

 

So if they do reveal the m/m option, as long as it isn't Solas, I'll be content.

 

It is also very unlikely it will be Solas because two gay elves would be stereotypical and borderline asinine of BioWare.

I'd honestly lose some faith in their creative decision making. Not a deal breaker though.

 

So yeah... Blackwall or Dorian. Bring it on :)

What if it's Iron Bull who's m/m exclusive?! (I think I'll cry.)

Am I the only one who thinks Solas is the leas likely to be a love interest? He gives a very strong mentor vibe.

Nah, but maybe. On his profile on dragonage.com it says he's "willing to jump into bed with anyone that won't break." hahahahaha

 

So, this is probably hinting that he is at least bisexual, if anything. (When I say "at least" I don't mean to offend I just mean, if any romance that's what they most likely would be.

 

Solas, being the only other party member who is an elf leads to the conclusion that he won't be the s/s male romance because that would seem racist. "All elves are homosexual." or "All homosexuals are elves." - I don't think Bioware would be that horrible.

 

Blackwall, on the other hand isn't very attractive, and I don't think I would romance him as either gender. (Furthermore he seems to have a strict personality, kind of like Duncan, who wasn't my favorite character. He also isn't a viable relationship because he's had the taint for a very long time. BUT, disease didn't stop Bioware with Thane.

 

Finally, what do we know about Cole, is it possible he could be a m/m option? I know about the book Asunder, but I never read it.

 

So, we're left with Dorian.

Cole is out, per Gaider's own word.

I, on the other hand, would happily romance Blackwall with any character. He would be a novelty both in terms of personality and age as far as Dragon Age LIs go.

 

Cole is, in Gaider's own words, a young man with the mentality of a child, and (spoiler warning for Asunder)

So, very no-no.

I still think you're right that it is Dorian, but I'm super-wary of jumping to conclusions based on overanalysing all the companions and ruling people in or out as gay and straight. The pages and pages of speculation is a bit.... tiring, surely.

 

It can lead to false expectations, and I *genuinely* think people are putting far too much confidence in their most basic assumptions - Bioware has never talked about the numbers involved in the romances, but everyone is still assuming it's going to be 2/2/2. People are assuming Iron Bull will be available because of one line in his character bio. People are making all sorts of claims about Solas when we know next to nothing about the character.

 

The m/m romance could be an NPC that we've never even heard of, come to think of it.

So what would you rather us do? Sit here and twiddle our thumbs instead?

Cole is not a romance.   From Freddie's conversation about Iron Bull, it sounds as if he is definitely a sleep with anyone guy.   I agree that making Solas gay in addition to Sera would be a bit odd.    I'm a bit puzzled why not being attractive (to you) means that Blackwall cannot be the gay romance.   Seriously, gay guys come in all shapes and sizes and some you'd never know were gay at all until you get to know them.  May be that was why he was happy to go into the Wardens because he was never going to have a wife and kids.   Dorian looks the likely candidate if you buy into the gay stereotype idea - which is why I really hope he isn't, just to show everyone you shouldn't judge by appearances.   I'm not bothered either way since I just adjust the sex of my Inquisitor accordingly.

Yeah sorry, Blackwall isn't attractive TO ME, sorry again. Hahahahhaha (should have elaborated) :D

 

Didn't mean to offend anyone!

 

He just doesn't seem as viable.. but then again if Dorian is anything like Anders, then Blackwall or Iron Bull it is.

 

And I'm glad Cole is out, dunno why lol

There can be discussion about Dorian the character without it being related to romance and his sexuality, can't there?

 

That has to be a better alternative than twenty thousand people arguing back and forth that Solas is bisexual because of his pants, or whatver the latest theory is.

Also very glad Cole's different...thought he was going to be some tragic anime-hair sort with a similarly tragic romance, but if he's somewhat like a kid mentally, now I actually look forward to interaction. I'm sure he'll have interesting insights. Wow, depends on how the companions get along with Dorian, but I might bring him along as much or more than Sera now on my non-rogue Inquisitors.

 

Back to Dorian - still hope he's bi. Have too many friends who want to romance him as a gal Quiz.

 

Still speculating Dorian might know necromancy, that he's somewhat idealistic in his ideas, and that it's quite possible he'll have those idealistic ideas brought down a notch or even shattered in same play throughs.

I thought you were talking about all of the speculation in general, not just the romance stuff. We had a nice discussion about necromancy/healing and Alexius earlier this week/last week.

Do you think we can provide Dorian with bee wax from our jar of bees to make his moustache extra twirly?

That's a good question, I hope we can. I really want him to be able to wax his mustache as much as he likes. Maybe if it's extra twirly one of his stats goes up. :D

Apparently we can throw a jar full of bees at our enemies in combat. I don't know why...

 

Anyways, where do you guys think we'll pick up Dorian? Redcliffe? Western Approach?
