I don't hope everyone is bi. That'd be just a bit weird.

Well, not everyone is. There's Sera.

[Grieving Natashina]

And Dorian.

Yes, but it's just not very realistic if literally almost every member of the Inquisition is bisexual. The "everyone is bi" trope is silly.

I don't think anyone's ever asked for every single member of the inquisition to be bisexual. I've seen people(myself included) ask for maybe six people in the inquisition to be bisexual.

 

Six out of twelve out of however many thousands make up the whole of the organization isn't an unrealistic number.

Of course, but we're not really taking the thousands of faceless mooks into account, we're focusing on the main characters. And I was more specifically reacting to Xil's comment earlier.

For the record, I'm perfectly fine with characters being bisexual, but making every character bi weakens the suspension of disbelief.

But dragons are realistic amirite

Yet every character isn't going to be bisexual, much less every companion, as is already proven by Sera and Dorian so...

Exactly.

I don't know; I can go call up four straight friends and five bisexual friends right now and go hang out(actually planning on doing that within the next half hour), it doesn't suspend my disbelief. We're just ten people hangin' out, saving the world from demons.

[Sir DeLoria]

Oh I give up, it's a fantasy game, who cares?

As long as both genders get an equal amount of options I'm happy.

There you go.

There's no good reason to single out sexual orientation in a fantasy game as unrealistic but not dragons and magic.

It's even perfectly possible that in Thedas most people are bisexual, even if most of them might end up in monogamous heterosexual relationships.

[Former_Fiend]

I just think it's a little weird to point to the one element of the game that is indisputably possible and say it's a strain on suspension of disbelief.

I hear you there.

[azarhal]

 It's rather evident that they will be available to straight people so why not announce it.

 

They need to have something to talk about in the next 3 months...

[Grieving Natashina]

As far as the bisexual options, I think they'll probably be announced at GaymerX which starts on the 11th.  It would be a good time to reveal the rest of the non-hetero companions. So maybe we'll only have to wait a week or so.

 

Crossing her fingers mainly for Scribbles, Cass and IB to be bi.

I was hoping for the same, but pessimist me thinks they won't and will only discuss the ones revealed.

 

I wouldn't mind getting more info on Sera though.

I'd be fine with a setting where everyone is bisexual.

Dongs and vag for everyone!

Why is it silly?

Ursala Le Guin wrote a story about a group of humans who are androgynous for 24 days, and then for two days are male or female, technically meaning they're a race of hermaphordites. She managed to get herself a Hugo and a Nebula. Jacquline Carry published a novel about a fantasy world where everyone is bisexual and got herself a Locus award.

Speculative fiction has been playing with issues of sex, gender, identity, and society since the 1960s.

Exactly.

Making companions playersexual  is dull and pointless and I'm glad it's not the case in DAI.

[Lenimph]

Man it seems like every time I came in here today expecting to lurk and watch people post about Sera I stumble into some awkward conversation about my sexuality. 

 

Please don't call fictional characters being bisexual in a FANTASY game silly or unrealistic. It's a bit unsettling, insulting, and silly. There's dragons, giant green holes in the sky, and people who wear live song birds in their hair, but oh no bisexuals, that's just too much!

You can have bisexual characters who don't sleep or romance the PC.

Not that having fictional characters being bisexual is unrealistic but having fictional characters that are supposed to be real as possible(minus the different races) have their sexuality determined by the Protagonist is unrealistic and boring. Also, it makes the romances more dull and have less content.

[Maria Caliban]

Kushiel's Dart doesn't have dragons, people who can toss fireballs, ashes that can cure any illness, heroes who cut through hordes of enemies with ease, potions that immediately heal injuries, dwarves or elves, or giant holes in the sky where demons pour out.

It does have lots of bisexuals.

Are we really going to call Thedas the more realistic setting?
