What's the SS stand for, I'm confused.

 

Same-sex.

Damn, I'm good, I knew for a long time even before seeing her that she would be the lesbian option. Now, let's see if my other predictions are correct.

I was surprised, too, but I think she just fainted or Lelianna will resurrect her and reference to when we killed Lelianna in DAO.

I'm thrilled by the news and I'm looking forward to getting to know her and romance her. She sounds like an awesome character.

Same-sex.

Ah, got it. With all these abbreviations, I tend to eventually catch up on it. Thanks. Now I'll go back to figuring who the male SS is and preparing to virtually tongue punch his fart box.

Don't see why all the fuss is about over Sera being gay. While I can understand that people are disappointed that she isn't available for male players to romance, I really need to ask, is the romance aspect really that much of a vital aspect to a character to you? Or are you more afraid of "missing out" on content?

The reason I ask this is b/c while I can fathom the appeal of wanting to romance someone you are interested in as a means to e.g. continue further on with the relationship, but from what I have gathered from the forum however when it comes to characters and concerning the topic of whether or not them being romancable at all and / or gender exclusive, the real frustration for many stems from people being left out or not getting enough "content" from said character.

Romances are additional content that lets you explore the character you are pursuing in a different manner and often adds to more dialog, events, and such. These types of content are usually only available if you romance them and if not, you don't get the chance to experience it. Here I can undertand the frustration if you, for example, have an X character you can to bowling with but only if you romance her. If not, you miss on having the chance to do so, and are left to just talking with her at the house.

Then again, people may want to romance a character simple for the sake of romance, which is totally understandable. But what I wanted to point out was--in this case with Sera--is that while it is a shame she isn't available for male players, I'm totally fine with her being female only as long as I don't miss out on anything really "vital". Though what I am really hoping for is the availabilty to pursue a proper friendship path with her. Instead of having the banter with her come to a hault when the game (potentialy) offers the option to romance her only to be denied, having the ability to still continue the friendship path is equally as important aspect as romance one. I'd like having the option to discuss certain things with close friends that I wouldn't otherwise talk with my romance partner, and having a different sort of relationship with other charactes that aren't romancable and which isn't exclusive to your romance partner, makes up for certain members not being available to you to romance, and which is something I hope is the case with Sera and the other party members.

I will say as a male gamer I am disappointed that Sera is a female only LI, and as of right now i'm not sure if I should feel guilty about being disappointed or not. Which is Ironic because I used to be of the opinion that LI's shouldn't all be bisexual in dragon age 2 as it seemed to make the concept of having one less meaningful. That is until one day when I read a forum post from a homosexual user where he or she ,(kinda hard to tell through the internet) explained how they had to constantly deal with rejection and awkwardness in real life and how refreshing it was to escape from that in bioware games. 

 

Even though I am straight, I was able to identify with the user and their post made me do a complete 180 on my opinion as I have also had a lot of awkwardness and rejection in my love life as well.

That being said. I am still buying Inquisition. This isn't the first time that i've been disappointed in not being able to romance a LI(I'm looking at you Aveline) and I'm sure it won't be the last, but Bioware game romances are generally a cut above many other games I've played so i have no qualms with giving them the benefit of the doubt in this area.

 

PS- I swear to god though if Vivienne comes out as Female only then everyone can go straight to hell.  :angry: (Just Kidding)

I was expecting her to be lesbian with the 2/2/2 system. Don't know if we'll get one or two companions romances other than her, but I'm glad the lesbian option isn't relegated to the advisors :).
I wanted to romance her with my male character, but I'm perfectly fine with it. I was already planning a female character after my first one.

I hope this same sex only conformation from the dev is a lie. Not only is Sera the most interesting and attractive female character in the game so far, but it also means there will be no female elf romance for male elf players AGAIN! Elven and shemlin relationships are basically self-genocide for elves so hopefully they will change their minds in the following months.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but did they just killed her..?


She follows in the footsteps of many literary lesbians. Luke appreciates the classics.

I hope this same sex only conformation from the dev is a lie.


I'm sorry you feel that way.

I feel like you're coming at this from the wrong angle. I find it's never good to go into a bioware game with a preplanned romance option because it will never work out the way you want it too. I find it's better to create your character's personality and just talk to characters that you're interested in then decide which one you want to romance, if any.

Never wanted the fixed orientation gating so i'm very disappointed that male players won't have access to elven romance.

Was very excited about possibility of romancing her with my male elf.

I went into mass effect 1 blind and didn't even know about Liara as she wasn't even advertised at least to my knowledge. I spent time with her and fell love with her and romanced her though all three games. So I know how to take this slow and steady, but that's not the problem here. I also went into DAO blind as a male city elf warrior and spent time with both Morrigan and Leliana. I didn't romance either of them (at least not complete the game with them romanced) because not only were they human, but also because didn't like them in a romantic way. I just keep them as friends. Now that

Bioware is supposedly going to improve romances and all the information we're getting I wanted to have a male elf inquisitor that could be with Sera since their both elves of opposite genders and I have grown to like her as a character.

Sera is a lesbian though, so you wouldn't be able to romance her with a male elf.

 its speculated that all of that part in the video takes place in the fade, and when you die in the fade, you go back to reality (at least your companions did in da 2)

Brilliant observations there. But really, is a heterosexual elf couple really asking that much? Or does Bioware really despise elves this deeply?

Despising elves = making one gay.

Some people want a gay dwarf option or a Qunari and maybe they won't get it, others want a gay elf option and maybe Solas is straight... it's difficult to satisfy everyone. You can have a homosexual elf couple with Sera and maybe you can have a hetero couple with Solas.
