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?
Oh god I love that book series so much. GODDAMMIT I LOVE IT. Now I have to go reminisce about the first read-through... memories so sweet.
So do you guys have any theories on Sera's VA? My favourite speculatory discussions.
Personally, going by the little bit we were able to hear in the E3 demo, my money is on Sheridan Smith - http://www.imdb.com/...6/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Probably wishful thinking since I'm a huge fan, but she'd certainly be perfect in my opinion.
I only find it offensive when it is used in the manner of erasing bisexuals and bisexuality. Ex: "All the LIs in DA2 are playersexual, they're not realistic."
I don't get it.How could you find it offensive ? Yes it is irrealistic to choose the orientation of the LIs. That's what is the playersexual thing =/ they are all written as bi, you erase their sexuality, that's up to your tastes. Why do you take it personally since that has nothing to do with they are all bisexual ? And wanting some variety in a set sexualities is totally fine by the way, in case if someone would think the opposite.

Oooh!!!!! That's a great guess!
You can hear Sheridan speak in this video if anyone's curious. I don't know if she's done any voice work before but I guess anything is possible at this point. Definitely fits Sera.

I don't think it's intended in an offensive way. Some characters just seemed like they were designed to fall for Hawke because Hawke is Hawke, rather than gender being involved at all.
Um, I'd personally call them bisexual because they're open about being bisexual. With characters that are more reserved, it's difficult to determine whether they are bisexual or whether they're simply drawn to the player character regardless of gender.
I'm sure it's not intentional, but the problem is, again, this assumes that all bisexuals have to be completely open about liking both genders, but single gender attracted people don't have to be open or obvious about it. That a gay or straight character doesn't have to go around hitting on or expressing interest in every person of that gender, or at least one before meeting the PC, but bisexuals have to announce it to be "realistic."
I'm bisexual, but I don't go around telling everyone I meet, or express interest in both men and women around every person I hang out with. Much like Merrill or Fenris, I'm actually pretty shy, a loner, have trouble opening up to people, rarely express interest in others, and the few times I do, it's exclusively for that person. Or if I comment on an attractive person or people I happen to see (like Merrill commenting on the Qunari being "easy on the eyes"), I don't feel this need to balance it out by commenting on another person or people of the opposite gender, in case the person missed that I like both genders.
But if it is considered offensive, I'll try and avoid using that sort of language in the future, sorry.
It's all right. I know it's weird saying this after the long diatribe I posted up there, but I just wanted you to understand where I'm coming from.
It definitely could be her... but she has been busy this year. Would she have had time?
People seem to treat 'I am attracted to your gender' as 'I am attracted to you specifically and want to drag you off somewhere private right now.'
What does that say about the accusers? Lol.

If Sheridan Smith is who I'm thinking of then she's done voice work. I believe she was the Eighth Doctor's companion for a while in the Big Finish Doctor Who audio dramas.

I'll stick by what I said. When someone's open about being bisexual, I'll call them bisexual. When someone's open about being heterosexual, I'll call them heterosexual. When someone's open about being homosexual, I'll call them homosexual. When they're not open about it at all? Well, it's difficult to call them anything.
So sticking with Merrill as the primary example, it's difficult to know what her sexuality is due to the fact that she doesn't talk about it. I wouldn't call her bisexual or straight or gay because it's hard to figure out - and the reason for that is that she doesn't talk about it.
People call Zevran and Isabela bisexual because they know it. Characters such as Merrill aren't as clearly cut.
Like you, I just want you to understand what I am coming from. I call someone bisexual because they're open about it, because they make it clear that they are. This doesn't mean that you "aren't a real bisexual" if you don't make it obvious, it's just not apparent or clear to those around you because, well, you don't flaunt it. I hope that clarifies things a little!
The only manner I find the term "playersexual" to be offensive is in how it offends my intelligence. It's stupidity, pure and simple.

Lol, true tho.
My first DA:I drawing yay. Wanted it to include some of my favorite companions so I decided to draw Sera picking on Bull, to his disdain. Sorry for the lack of putting it under a spoiler tag... I need help figuring out how to do that. lol

Thanks. ^_^ Now I feel silly with how simple it is. *goes to fix it*
Out of curiosity, are all of Merrill's friendmancers in here eating cake?

Is this about the Romance thread debate?
In part.
Thanks.

Np 
Kinda regret ever talking about Merrill in there... d'oh.

What?
The conversation is actually nice, compared to how the debates about Merrill (as many other topics) usually go.
Well that's good, then. haha. I just feel bad because it's kinda off topic, but I guess they'll get it out of their systems soon enough. xD
Don't worry, I'm sure Sera will be just as divisive as Merrill!

Indeed, it seems to have already started a bit with her outlook on Cole. Startin' arguments before the game even comes out.
