A lot of people complain, and so do I. I honestly don't know what kind of anxiety one could have though if a player is planning to romance him with a female human or elf inquisitor; it's 100% confirmed (he's not going to be gay lol). Race-gating? I can't think of any reason to race-gate Cullen, but it could happen. So if you have your heart set on romancing him with a qunari or dwarf, I can definitely sympathize greatly with any anxiety. There's been no word of class-gating, but again, I can sympathize with any anxieties on that account if you're planning to romance him with a mage.
I will just be honest though, people complaining about him not being a companion or not getting to see his face or him being their only desirable romance option just makes me grit my teeth. I have emotions, too
and it sucks to be in a position where my character may have NO ONE to romance, nothing, nada. It may be a case where I don't even feel like buying the game because these beautiful romances are the reason I got into this whole franchise in the first place.
In the future I wouldn't mind chatting via PM if something I've said bothers you. I never intend to hurt anyone with my words, and am always happy to explain my case 
It's just a really tough time for me right now as a Cullen fan, so I'm sorry if something I say comes off wrong, bitter, or hateful. Not my intention at all. 
Whoa! Artemis, I never meant to embarrass you or anything like that with my reply, that was not even close to being my intention. I was just trying to explain why I was complaining in a humorous way to lighten the mood. Actually, I'd say I was embarrassed too, because I thought you were calling *me* out for complaining, which I shouldn't have been doing anyways, but I was just being sarcastic. I need to start adding [i am being sarcastic] or [parts of this are in humor], to my posts, I guess. I have a bad wording problem. I'm sorry if you were embarrassed by me, like I said, that was not my intent.

And I replied here and not to PM just to let everyone know, if there are others, who may have thought I was being snarky, that I wasn't trying for that.
Sometimes, our passion comes out in other ways than what we thought we were expressing, or at least in my case. I would never intentionally provoke someone, that's just not in my nature. I don't like conflict. Libras FTW

But like you or bramble said, let's drop this. Just needed to explain. Sorry, Cullenites! I love you all

Also, my "anxiety" stems from the worry that Cullen's romance arc will be diminished because he is a NPC and not a companion. If that is true, I wouldn't have anyone (companions) to romance. Like you, I don't want to have to role play a character I have no interest in just to romance someone. My concern isn't that Solas is gay or anything, it's that I'm worried he won't be an LI period. I have no interest in IB or Blackwall, and I might eventually romance Dorian with a guy, but I have no interest in having to play as a guy right now just to do that. I would be upset about the Cullen thing too, but, we haven't heard any confirmations. They know he has an enthusiastic fan base, so maybe he will be bi. I'm thinking he will, just because it's undeniable that his romance is something that's wanted by all walks of humans and has been for quite some time now. Anyway, don't mean to type a book, just want to get things straightened out. High five.
