Oh, I just realized that I worded that wrong. What I meant was that they have the option to make a qunari or dwarf LI, because we have both in the party, and that could replace the elf LI we always got (hopefully I worded it right this time). Yes, this are all just assumptions, we don't know anything for sure yet, except that Cassandra and Cullen are definitely LIs for somebody :D

Well, there's also the high probability that I just read it wrong, too. lol! :wizard:

 

It would be a nice switch, though. If they gave us that option.

He was attracted to my male mage... when I briefly modded my Warden's head onto a female body. Cullen's into freaky stuff like that!

 

As the days go by, I strive to be more and more like you. Boy's a freak and you know it.

 

Anything is better than a Sebastian romance. Chaste Marriage? I mean come on.

 

I've read enough fan fiction to know that this boy will ALSO be a freak once he gains his throne and gets married. And then we've got quite a few years of pent-up frustrations to help him sort through.

 

 
Yes! I'm sorta sad that GE didn't answer my question about hearing Cullen laugh. It just seems like that would be a non-spoilery thing to answer. This is what gives me hope that we may yet see more Q&A from him yet! (*sssshhhhhhhhush*you let me dream on!)

 

I BLAME YOU for my addiction to Cullen's laugh potential, and also for all of the quoted above.

I wouldn't say that the chaste part was what I disliked about Sebastian's romance,It was the limited  interaction our pc had with him and the lack of "romantic" elements in Hawkes relationship with him.

I haven't made a prediction yet, but it just seems like Cullen should be bi.  I want it to be so for you, anyway, and everyone that wants it as badly as you do. And about the Sebastian romance...just having Greg Ellis tease us from the booth has been a better romance than Sebastian.  There.  I said it.  :D

 

:D Out of likes, so :P And ohhh, burn to Seb's romance! :lol:

I'd be inclined to agree, except that all LIs in DA2 being bisexual didn't stop straight or gay people from romancing them... And not just because "that's all there was" but also because they liked the romance they picked. Same with DAO: I know straight males who far preferred Leliana and straight females who preferred Zevran above and beyond Alistair. So I don't see bisexual options as being limiting to straight players. In my breakdown a straight player still has access to an opposite gender partner as a companion and one as an LI. So does any player who isn't prone to turn down a bisexual LI, be they gay or straight themself. They could go the ME3 route and make NPCs gay options, but 1. I don't think they'll make Cullen gay and 2. I'd like to think the BW team might be willing to "risk" making the NPCs the majority sexuality rather than a companion LI.

But I could be happily wrong and the NPCs are bi! I'd even be OK with being wrong and it turns out Cullen is gay... If may knock away my desire to make an NPC to romance him, but, hey I won't write off any other LI options until I see how it pans out in game.

 

I agree. Players who prefer straight romances are not limited by a bisexual romance. :D

 

However, if both Cullen and Scribbles are NPC's and straight, for example, that means that players who prefer straight romances will have one companion LI available, compared to players who prefer gay romances, who will have two companion romances. If Scribbles was gay and Cullen was straight, then players who prefer to play female characters who have two NPC LI's and only one companion LI, whereas players who prefer to play male characters who have three companions LI's and no NPC LI's.

 

Having the NPC LI's be bisexual means that straight Inquisitors, gay Inquisitors, female Inquisitors, and male Inquisitors all have the same ratio of LI: one companion, one NPC. Bisexual Inquisitors, of course, have all the fun. :lol: That's why I think it's more likely for Cullen, if he is indeed a NPC, to be the male bisexual LI.

Someone asked one of the Devs if romances would be race restricted and they didn't deny it. Just said "more info on this later" or something. We've never really had a LI who was as devout as Cullen, other than Sebastian? Alistair wasn't religious, so you could romance him as a Dwarf. Leliana had "unconventional" beliefs. I feel like Cullen would probably want his wife to be a fellow Andrastian, no? Maybe if you're a Dwarf or Qunari you have to convert first? :lol:

I see your point but I hope not.Personally I'd like to see him overcome certain prejudices he has as far as religion is concerned,and what better way than to fall in love with or even befriend a person from another religious group.That's one of the main reasons I intend to romance him with a Dalish mage,I think it would make  things rather interesting.

Oooooh, ok, now I see what you mean! :lol: when you put it that way, then, yes, taking into account the mentality of companion > NPC I see what you mean about Bi NPCs being the most "fair." Since I'm personally fine with keeping an open mind about NPC LIs being awesome, I just wasn't looking at it that way. :) but you may well be right, for sure.

Yeah, the only reason I suspect that race/class (or just in game major choices!) may also restrict romances is because the Devs have talked about the romances being more tailored to the character in question, or that's the impression I got anyway. I love a good "love conquers all!" or even a well written "rivalmance" but if they are going for "realism" sometimes things like the views in serious life-affecting issues (politics, religion, etc) does affect the development of romances, for some.

Yeah, I understand. I'll be totally OK with being wrong, chica, trust me. If I'm just going on "what will make ALL THE CULLEN LOVERS HAPPY" I definitely want Cullen to be Bi and would be completely happy with it. So here's hoping I'm dead wrong!

Oddly enough? I, personally, would be more upset if Cullen was Bi (hopefully) or Straight but restricted against Mages. :crying: I REALLY want to romance him with a Mage! But would I see the possible sense in such a restriction? sure... I just really don't want it!

I don't think that romances would be class restricted. Race restricted maybe, but not class restricted.

My predictions:

 

First...I believe one NPC will be Bi and one will be Straight or Gay. I just don't think they are going to follow the ME3 path.

 

 

Cassandra- Bi  and if I was a betting gal I would bet on this. Men and women BOTH wanted to romance Aveline and couldn't. They are NOT  going to go that route again Shes going to be for everyone

 

Dorian:  He is a Tevinter. My gut tells me he is the M/M ship

 

Vivienne: Bi Or Straight 

 

Scribe gal: Bi Or Gay

 

Solas: Bi

 

Cute Elf Rogue: Bi

 

Cullen: Toss up between Bi or Straight

 

Varric: Gut tells me he's going to be restricted to Dwarf Female Inquisitors and there is that possibility he will be a non romancable companion.

 

Iron Bull: Gut tells me hes going to be restricted to Female Qunari Inquisitors.  

 

---------------

 

And no matter what the outcome is there will be some extremely angry people in the fandom.

For my life to make sense, I kind of need Varric to be non-romanceable.

 

Because I've drawn up this terribly beautiful headcanon for Bianca, you see, and I don't want to let it go. -_-

People seem awfully sure they're going to make Cullen bisexual but do we know for sure? It's probably a good idea to not assume anything at this point. I think we're letting our personal desires color our opinions. He could just as easily be the straight option, no? We shouldn't get our hopes up like this before we know more. :(

 

I think no matter the outcome people are setting themselves up to be disappointed when it comes to all of the romances.  I think the fault likes in the fact everyone assumed Inquisition was going to be like DA2. I immediately knew things would not be the same.

Sadly, yes. <_< part of me just wants to know ASAP what all the restrictions are for whom to just get it over with and adjust accordingly. Part of me dreads the revelations and resulting chaos on the forums.

This is my guess on the romances

Male
Straight: Solas or Iron Bull
Gay: DHMG
Bi: Cullen

Female
Straight: Cassandra
Gay: Sera
Bi: Scribbles

My guesses :P (Don't yell at me)

Coming in late. 

 

This is pretty much my list as well.  Great minds think alike!   :D   Except I don't have Iron Bull in my list.  Unless maybe he's a race specific.  I couldn't imagine romancing Iron Bull as an elf, dwarf or human.  They'd be torn asunder.  :huh:

I'd like to see it be harder to romance Cullen as a mage, but not necessarily have it locked out. I'd like it if mages started off in a bad position, and that it would take less for a mage Inquisitor to anger him.

Can't see it happening amongst those of us here, that's for sure! :wizard:

 

With Tumblr I just stick to my own pairings and fandoms; that way you avoid all the nonsensical vitriol and hate :lol: Plus I employ Tumblr Savior, so I can block those pairings that make me fly into a rage :lol:

 

Yeah I do the same. Tumblr is either hypocritical or full of mean girls.

A non-romanceable Varric? I could never handle that. I would probably break down. But I would like to see that headcanon.
