Sheesh, the speculation around 2 /2 /2 set sexualities seems very complicated in my eyes after reading more than 50 pages in this thread and the other ones. Thinking about who should be gay, or bi or straight gave me a headhache. Just give the playersexual thing again ( improved )with some restrictions based on choices for some characters and that's it; 
 
Also what David want might not be what the DA team wants.

This is exactly what I would love to see. Any "gated" LI's based on in-game decisions (if there is to be romance restrictions), and not gender. Not saying this is what will happen, but it seems just as likely as anything. (and admittedly, what I would hope for).

[Hanako Ikezawa]

In that case it is almost certain that the scribe girl is a LI than, and since I doubt they make npcs straight or gay because of Cullen, it is bi lol

Still think DA 2 was the best solution, oh well.

I hope they stick with the 'everyone available to everyone' concept too. I know Gaidar says he prefers set sexualities, but I hope they realize that it isn't the best way to go.

It's never just a lucky guess. 

 

As anybody who knows me well will tell you, I never speak in certainties, because nothing is ever certain. But I do overthink things, massively, and I do genuinely believe that, after weighing all of the evidence, the 2/2/2 LI setup with two non-companion LI's seems like the most likely outcome at the moment. 

 

I'll admit defeat if I am proven wrong, but that is a debate for when the setup is finally revealed. Until then I will continue to rethink my stance on the most likely scenario given the information at hand. 

 

Okay, explain to me how it's something I should be confident of seeing, because I'm not getting that from the evidence we actually have at this point. I followed the evidence on the likely companions and NPCs and it was right. I was with 2/2/2 up until we couldn't find a single mention of it by a dev at any point. If we still had that, I would be with you. Right now, I'm just not seeing it as more than a lucky guess on what we have to go on.

 

I mean, "because even distribution", isn't evidence. If I believed that as evidence, I wouldn't have thought the companion gender gap would be 6/3. I believed it about classes, but that's only because of the added on evidence that there'd be skills tied to classes that aided exploration. Without that, it was a lucky guess.

I think the Cassandra romance will be interesting, I will have to make a character to romance her with. 

 

I am pretty sure that "blonde elf girl" will be a romance and as for the other male idk, solas, varric, DHMG? 

 

Plus their could be a fifth Sebastian like romance or even just a few more smaller romances. Gaider could have caved and let Cole be a romance but I still think that would be weird. He would have to have evolved allot as a character for that. 

[mikeymoonshine]

As for playersexual/ bisexual I have no problem with it. I think as long as they don't comment on it and just leave it open to the player it's perfectly feasible that any character could be bi. Anyone that has ever met a bisexual person should know this.

I know this is kind of shallow and relatively minor but I found myself kind of frustrated that seemingly all of the potential female love interests have short hair now. I think one of the problems I had with DA 2's options was that they were too similar to eachother in some way or another, even if they could be very different in others. But it's hard to predict what will be appealing or not appealing about a group of characters, and so if it's something they all have in common that doesn't do it for me, I'm out of luck. For example, Merrill and Isabella were very different but they both seemed too irresponsible for my main Hawke.

 

Then again, the most recent LI that I really fell for was Jack.

Well, Scribe Girl looks like she has long hair, it's just up in an ornate hairdo. 

[Jedi Master of Orion]

I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be a hairdo or a head covering of some kind like most of the concept art.

 

EDIT: Or were those supposed to be her hair too? Because it honestly never occurred to me that we'd seen anything other than a headdress of some kind on her.

Gaider could have caved and let Cole be a romance but I still think that would be weird. He would have to have evolved allot as a character for that. 

it would definitely be weird if he was the same Cole from most of Asunder. at the very end of Asunder he seems to have matured a lot, and more time has gone by since then, maybe he's grown some more? I would hope so actually, given the kinds of things he could do and see following around the Inquisitor.. it's pretty standard that the PC is able to do some horrible things (selling a friend into slavery as an example - Hawke). at the very least he'll be going around killing loads of people and facing down crazy monsters.. makes me 0: thinking of someone with the mind of a child experiencing that sort of thing.

 

so yeah, Asunder!Cole = weird, I understand where Gaider is coming from. nooo

if they decide to have him mature sufficiently then I don't have a problem with it

In the table shot in the new trailer, it definitely looks like she has her hair up, to me. It looks like it's braided around and wrapped into a bun.

I'm starting to wonder if they had engine issues involving long hair.

That's definitely hair.

That hair lol

Looks like something f!Shepard circa ME2 would have lol

Couldn' it just be that we get 6 bi LI, 4 companions-2 NPC?  All I really care about romances (other than they're well written, of course) it's that they don't use a 2/2/2 split... I was so happy with the playersexual approach in DA2 and the possibility of going through all four romances without having to play as a male... I wished they'd do that in every BW game

[Ianamus]

That hair lol

 

It looks like she has a giant black slug crawling across her head.

[Luiren]

I just really want Varric to an LI this time....so very badly.

Those mini bangs on Sera are just tragic.

[Nocte ad Mortem]

I actually like the pixie cut on Sera. I thought she turned out cuter than I expected.

So Orlesian, my goodness!

I guess I just think if all the LI's were player sexual again, why make 6? Just seems overkill to me. No one needs 6 options, so it's just causing needless extra work for the devs.

 

We pretty much know that Cullen is not a companion, but that he is a LI. So unless he's just the odd extra npc love interest, or less than 4 companions are LI's, I think we have 6 LI's.

 

Based on all that, I think we'll have 6 defined sexualities love interests. But I could be wrong, I mean, yesterday I was swearing the game would come out in November.

Beause they know how people enjoy romances and want us to be happy?    ... Oh, well, what you say sounds reasonable, I just hope you're wrong

It's not like most people are going to see it as 6 choices, though. A lot of people aren't bisexual or don't roleplay as the opposite gender, so it's more like 3 choices for the average player.

I'm starting to wonder if they had engine issues involving long hair. 

 

They probably did.  Long hair is a HUGE pain to animate properly.  Unless it has its own physics it looks really weird and plastic.  I read that Alice: Madness Returns had to hire a seperate coder JUST for Alice's hair, and it shows.  Case in point:
