Still, this means nothing about someone's sexuality. Finding someone "nice on the eyes" is not sexual attraction.
Yep, it's not about how good someone looks, it's about how your body reacts to it.

The tone of her voice implies it, but that's just my interpretation.
I don't know why some people seem opposed to the idea of Merrill finding qunari attractive, though. I've always felt it was a good knock against the playersexual accusation.
It's not that we're opposed to it, If she's indeed attracted to them, more power to her. I'm just saying that complimenting on someone's looks is not sexual attraction.
Society is with the obsession that if a straight male finds another male pleasing on the eyes, he's gay.. or a gay male with a woman etc etc. This needs to stop. >.<

There's complimenting someone's looks and then there's lamenting you don't have any eye candy to oogle anymore.
Thinking someone is hot =/= wanting them
No it is. Otherwise you don't think of them as hot, you think of them as aesthetically pleasing. Hot is a word specifically reserved for boinking.
I swear I've had this conversation before.

I think plenty of people are hot but I don't want them so idk what you're talking about
If your male Warden can't flirt with a male NPC, that NPC must be straight?
I know you're not saying this, but it's as much a symptom of the subject matter being new to us. Especially in DAO times. (and I'm including female in this case as well, since it was mentioned a bit below).
At the time it didn't cross my mind that I couldn't hit on Alistair if I wanted. Now it does.

Hot - someone thats very good looking but not like cute, more like sexy.
Sexy = sex.
This thread suddenly accelerated in page count. What happened?
I'm just going with Occam's Razor/Conservation of detail. While that line, in and of itself, may not imply that she's sexually attractive to qunari, I think the simplest explanation for it's inclusion was short hand to say she was, to give her a character quirk.
After all, having Merrill say "I'm sorry the qunari are gone because I was just about to work up the courage to ask this really hot Sten back to my place so he could insert his penis into my vagina for my pleasure" wouldn't exactly be in character.

I'm sorry but you cannot tell me that if I think someone is hot than I want them. That isn't going to work.

Nothing. Just some discussion, then some arguments, now we're back to the good discussion.
Bioware have constantly stressed they want to make it more "realistic" though, or in a sense more like how our world is today in some regard. They've acknowledged that there are people of one orientation, so why not acknowledge that not 50% of the world is bi-sexual. I'm not suggesting that many in Thedas are in-fact bi-sexual, but what I mean is is that there should be less same-sex relationships that heterosexual ones overall in the end.
I actually don't think that we are stressing that, even with Cameron's comments regarding realism. At this point I more take the comments to be referring to the fact that players have a sexual orientation that extends beyond exclusive romance content, regardless of whether that orientation is gay, hetero, or bisexual.
Words have meaning regardless of our opinions. Hot is a synonym to sexy, whether you like or notI'm sorry but you cannot tell me that if I think someone is hot than I want them. That isn't going to work.

I just think you are using the wrong word.
''If I say that someone is a husband, that doesn't mean I'm saying they are married.''
Something along those lines. Hot = good looking in a sex way.
That doesn't mean I want to have sex with someone, whether you like it or not.
I'm inclined to agree here. I think a lot of men and women are "hot", but I don't want to have sex with them. I cannot imagine why that is such a big problem.

Ok, guys, please take it to PMs.
what is going on in here?
Nothing. Just some discussion, then some arguments, now we're back to the good discussion.
Seems we're back at arguments.

Not really

I have asexual friends that state otherwise. I'm willing to believe them when I say this, because I have no reason to think they'd lie to me about it.
