Neither have I so I can't speak for their romances which is why I only brought up Anders mentioning Karl (which from Anders perspective I get why he brought it up only to male Hawke I just wish he trusted my female Hawkes with that information as well)


I don't know if I had a bug or something, but this is the second time I've heard this: that Anders only expressed his relationship with Karl to a male Hawke - but I totally remember him bringing this up to my femHawke and I just felt like you could see it from a thousand miles away based on the story. It didn't bother me, but I too would have found it odd if that content was gender exclusive.

Coming back to Bull, I don't care if no one ever says bisexual or pansexual in the game, I don't remember them using the terms in previous games, however I would find it odd if his sexual history was tailored to the player character's gender and hope that whatever his history it is consistent and up front for people to react to.

I know he mentions Karl being someones lover to a male Hawke but not to a female Hawke though when I first played I did get the feeling that him and Karl were romantically involved but he just didn't imply it as much as he did with a male Hawke.

 

Maybe I worded my post wrongly before what I meant was that I hope they don't try to hide his bisexuality in the game like say if he has banter where he flirts with umm Blackwall and you happen to be playing as male PC I hope that banter is still in there when playing as a female PC as well. Hopefully that makes more sense. I'm not expecting any of the characters to come out and say 'I am of this sexual orientation' so I apologize if I worded my post to sound as such. ^^;

 

Edit: Not saying that they tried to hide the bisexuality of past Bi character I'm just horrible at trying to put my thoughts in words^^;

Bull seems the type who would talk about the fact that he's boning the Quizzie in party banter, with full details.  I hope this is the case, anyways, as I'd love the opportunity to have the 'hop in/hop out' interjections.   :D

 

Also, they mentioned previously that if you were playing a Qunari you'd be barred from a certain quest or two based on other peoples prejudices.  If we're rolling a mage and come across a group of Qunari, I'm hoping we get something similar so we can see if IB would speak up on behalf of his lady/man...especially if mouth-sewing is brought up.

I would loooooooooooooooooooooooooove this! though I've got a soft spot for couples who can't help but to be protective of eachother despite the fact that they both can kick serious ass xD

 

If Iron Bull does anything like that I don't know if I'll be able to romance anyone but him  :wub:

Really? Players will get locked out for playing qunari? I hadn't heard that. How interesting! I wonder if there are any other races that go through that as well?

 

I wonder how interactions will go (mage or no) if we were to run into a group of qunari with Bull in our party. I know he's a spy and that he tells the inquisitor such, but is it common knowledge?

Haha. Don't worry so much. (:
I didn't get the impression you specifically thought they'd use labels in the dialogue of the game, but I felt that there were some general interpretations thinking gender / sexual identity was something that needed to be labelled so that it could be addressed in game, and I don't feel that way.

To change topic slightly, there's been a lot of talk of short-statured dwarves or delicate elves being a "funny" romance for Bull, when I think the most unusual romance for Bull would be a m/m relationship with a male Qunari. I've seen the wonderful, amazing fan art of Bull with the pale, more lithe qunari with the short horns and the two of them together are adorable, but if I picture another person of Bull's physical build and him in intimate scenarios, I can tell I've been brainwashed because my mind is a little shocked.

There, Huldra, now I'm the one to have said something vastly insensitive again. @_@
If anyone in a similar relationship is reading my thoughts, I will express that I see nothing wrong with such a union, of two tall, muscled men enjoying each other's company either sexually or romantically, all love / happiness should be celebrated ... but I hope my meaning can be interpret appropriately.

Sorry overly apologetic is hardwired into my whole being^^;
I don't think that it should be handled that way though I would like to have the option to flirt with LIs that are unavailable to us and be turned down by them Though that won't be a problem for Iron Bull since he's open to all x3

Really? I actually find the idea quite sweet though that may have everything to do with a bisexual male character I've written who is a tall muscled man^^; But thanks for giving me that idea for a male qunari now hopefully I can make them look big and burly or close anyway but I like big height differences to much to try that I fear.

 

I don't think you came off as insensitive with that but I'm in no such relationship so I can't speak for other people but I think you put down what you meant fairly well  :wizard:

If mouth-sewing subject is ever brought before my mage qunari quizzy, fireballs will rain from the sky and no one will get out alive. no one. I hope Iron bull intervene, but I can't control myself lol if I have a "fight!" option :devil:

Agreed! Nothing more cute to me than having two badass's looking out for eachother and being protective even if they don't need to be. I know my PCs are going to be defending Iron Bull if anyone starts talking sh*t to them.

 

would like your post but am out of likes sorry^^;

Thank you Huldra. #^-^#

Will they be a mage?

I think the (first?) time I romance IB will be with a female elf mage. I enjoy both romances where the characters vastly agree and strongly disagree, and generally lean toward doing the latter first. She will be of the mindset that the Dalish are losing their children twice (once to Andraste, and then to the Qun) and be a mage, which actually I wonder if IB will be alright with. I would suspect that even being "one of the team" will be at odds with his aversion to how magic wanders close to "demons." I hope I don't accidentally lock myself out of a romance with him through too much disagreement though and may have to tailor it a little more.

You're welcome Mademon :)

 

Nah I already got two qunari mages planned so I might roll a warrior see how they are in DAI since I didn't like them much in DAO but liked them a little better in DA2. So two strong qunari warriors kicking butt by day and cuddling by the fire at night x3

 

My first Iron Bull romance is hands down going to be a dwarf Rogue though I'm still trying to figure out her looks (so I hopefully wont spend 8 hours in the CC) and the rest of her personality so far I got laid back no real opinion on the TvM war or religion but really against people thinking lesser of others cause of their race. Though I do plan on romancing him with a mage at some point just not sure when^^; 

 

Hopefully you'll be able to find out pretty quickly if you get locked out of a romance or if you end up breaking it off by accident. Thats what I'm worried about that you won't find out such things until an hour or so later^^; Good luck with your dalish mage run though :D

Iron Bull painting I did. 

Spoiler

 

The full painting is quite NSFW but you can see it on my tumblr page. 

 

 

 

My first two fan arts were both smut  :blush:, I honestly do not normally paint this kinda stuff.

Thank you. I'm hoping I like it / the elves at all in this game. The Dalish Origin story was the one I used least in Origins, but I have started planning (fantasizing? because I'm sure I won't be strict on myself in game) a play-through for each specialization ... so there are 9 of those, and 8 romances to try; and I know I want to romance Cullen once with a circle mage and once with someone completely anti-mage to see how he reacts ... and how many hours of gameplay is that? XD

It'll be a while before I see other facets of IB's romance (if at all through experience, and not through youtube (mind you, I learned though youtubing Thane of Mass Effect's romance that this is not something I would like to explore)).

However, that still provides plenty of opportunity to befriend IB or to be completely at odds with him. The game certainly doesn't feel as if it will lack for content.

Did you watch the most recently gameplay video? I love his bull pauldron. Do you think there will be central pieces to their outfit (which I understand is equipment based, but that they have a central look) that will change with romance like in DA2? Would you prefer that or rather they didn't?

I believe this was in the Game Informer magazine about six months ago?  I tried Google searching but I can't find a quote.   :unsure:

 

Yea, for a spy he seems pretty upfront with the Quizzie - don't think that would be the case with everyone else.  They might just take him for a deserter.

[EDIT] Though it seemed to be like the Iron Bull built up a reputation for himself within the Qun, so they might know who he is just by looks alone?

Dailish was my second least favorite Origin Mage origin being the least favorite for me but they said there wasn't going to be orgins so I guess that takes care of that then? Could never get into role playing a Dalish myself since I don't like role playing as characters who come off as racist^^; Not sure what I'll try Cullen with yet I'd like to get a feel for his character and its arc first before I try and go down that route. I know I plan to do Iron Bull's romance at least twice with a PC of each gender to see if theres any differences in it.

 

I've got a feeling that since I don't roll any religious PCs that Bull and I are going to be buddies he just seems like too much of a fun guy to not try and befriend I just hope i can stay pals with him, Varric, and Blackwall all at once :)

 

No I haven't I just tend to stick around here for info and haven't looked for many videos^^; sorry. If I recall you can change their armor but they will still keep their iconic look about them so I don't think their look will change much based on a romance though I kind of like the idea of the armor changing base on romance even if it is only a tiny bit (I really loved Merrill's romanced armor and it too me three playthroughs to even notice Isabela's^^; ) So I prefer the armor to get some kind of permanent change if that character is in a romance with you maybe even your armor will get a similar change based on who your romancing x3

And that would be a pretty intriguing situation.  So many questions and possibilities spring to mind! And would Bull keep his cover or out himself?

 

 

wow everyone caught the big man fever :D

Poor Dorian. My mage will love him extra. I think he looks wonderful. :wub:

maybe even your armor will get a similar change based on who your romancing x3


I shared that impression of the Dalish.

I heard tell that Varric and Bull don't get along, but I hope your experience with that party is satisfying! I'm pretty sure "Team Reverse Harem" was once described as the same. xD

OMG. I think I'd like that much more. A pin or something with horns just tucked on the side of a shall for romancing Bull ...? A necklace from Sera? (: It would be so cute!

Just could never get into it that much though I did kind of like Tamlen

 

Yeah thats what I'm worried about but darnit I'm going to try my hardest I want that team xD Never heard it described as that before but kind of fits since I've been wanting Blackwall and Iron Bull for a long while now  :wub:

 

Now that would be adorable x3 I have no idea what these changes would be I just know I want them espically if its something like a gift they gave you and you can see it on your PC as a new part of thier armor. Though given a comic I've seen you won't be able to see what Dorian gives xD http://www.deviantar...-RING-461008794

Of the remaining men, I can't choose! I'd been hoping for // anticipating Varric since DA2, Blackwall has that glorious beard, and Solas would be nice so that the male romance options available to female player characters include a less muscled option; but I'm not at all dissatisfied with what are available so far.

Yes, I am familiar with that particular Aimo creation. (;

Zevran gave you his earring from his first assassination, and well, there was a mod that made it equip-able. That would be neat at least, barring being able to see such gifts; and with the option to craft weapons and gear - why not?

Do you think Bull has sentimentality in certain objects from his past? Or that he only keeps the essentials, as is appropriate for the Qun?
