I think focusing too much on one character as love interest may be problematic. There's a good chance to end up disappointed.
It's a bit hard to not laser-focus, though, when only a couple of characters catch your interest in that way. Chances of disappointment are high, yes, but at the same time I can't force myself to like something I'm not attracted to.

Exactly. It's easy to say, "just don't get attached to one or two characters". I can't just make myself be interested in every character. If it's not there, it's just not. There are only a couple that I'd be interested in, at all. The romance system is one of my favorite features in the game. If I can't access an option that's enjoyable to me, it's going to heavily impact my overall enjoyment of the game, and that sucks.
Agh screw it.
I want to wall of text something but I dont see the need.
The game will come out, people will be mad that their preferred LI is not available as they want, rage will ensue.
I just fail to see the reason why being denied a character is causing so much anger.
People get angry about lots of things, I don't see why this issue needs to be singled out.
People talk. Unless a dev confirms anything I wouldn't bet on it. Doomed? You'll only be doomed if you've convinced yourself that you can only be happy if Cassandra is an option for you. Looks are important, but maybe you could consider that we know very little about their personality. I'm not suggesting you should stop hoping for Cassandra. I merely suggest you don't exclude all the other possible options if you don't want to end up feeling dooming.
Oh, we know more about Cass than we know about Viv or anyone else. Cass already had her own anime and we saw her in DA2. I think i already have a glimpse on how she is and those characteristics made me love her. Plus, we never had a lady romance like Cass, usually these romances end up dudes only. Which is annoying.
Who says Leliana won't be available? They've said before that doing romance arcs for previously romanceable characters was unlikely, not that it would absolutely never happen.
Indeed but they already said she won't be a romance.

Right, but those romance options are not 'inaccessible' more than they are unavailable to those people who absolutely refuse to roleplay different characters. Big difference.

It's not going to impact my enjoyment of the game any less, so the difference to me is moot.

I've played many different characters across both Dragon Age titles, they just all happen to be gay men.
Locking me out of content doesn't encourage me to replay the game at all, because I have no interest whatsoever in playing as anything other than a gay man. All I see is Bioware limiting the kinds of stories that a gay character can have.
Nope, the point stands.
Nope, it doesn't.
Given that your enjoyment is limited by your own inflexibility, it absolutely does.
In your subjective opinion, which means nothing to me.

Lol. Yes, gay gamers are at fault for being inflexible in the creation of their characters.
As if the game industry doesn't churn out hundreds of slight variations on "straight, white, angry man" every single year.

Sure, but that's not to point the finger at Bioware and complain that some romantic content inaccessible to you, right?
I will complain any time content of any kind is restricted based on decisions made prior to or during character creation.
If I'm going to be locked out of a pathway, it should be because I made a conscious, in-narrative choice to avoid it, not because BioWare put up a big signpost saying "NO HOMOS ALLOWED".

I think it's actually more disturbing when a character I'm interested in is unavailable to me just because I made my character look like me than if the character is not an LI at all. I have tried several times and do not enjoy playing a male character. It's not fun for me, and the gameplay differences are so tiny that I can't justify being miserable for 40 hours for a romance. If they're not a romance option in the first place I can deal with it, but to think that someone else deserves that character more because they can stomach playing as a male character just feels weird.

You make it sound like the game resolve only around romancing a character. They do not, it's a tiny part of the game and 100% optional.

I. Do. Not. Care.
How was bioware locking you out when there was characters for gay men too in all their games. And as you said you played a lot of characters as a gay man in bioware games. Im sure it will be the same in inquisition too? I find it hard to believe they would change that now.
I don't want only some options, I want all of the options.
The argument that you can just make an opposite gender (or same gender, for that matter) character to romance your LI choice misses the point of the disappointment people are feeling entirely. I don't want access to a heterosexual romance. I wont enjoy a heterosexual romance. I want access to a same sex romance. If that isn't possible, the content I was hoping for does not exist. It's not locked behind some other flag I have to tick. It simply doesn't exist. The romance option I was hoping for is inaccessible, absolutely. Telling me to change my character gender misunderstands the situation to a way more substantial degree than the people that were just saying "then just don't get attached to certain characters". By a lot. And it gets extremely difficult to not get frustrated with the insensitivity of the suggestion when lodged at a group we all know has very few options to ever experience a romance in any media that pairs up with their actual sexuality.

Your posting history says otherwise.

Bioware hasn't offered options to gay men in "all" their games. They didn't even get around to adding them to the Mass Effect series until the last game and, even then, it's not like it was an even spread.

You misunderstand me.
I care about the romance feature very much. What I don't care about is her point.
