? Where was there said to be race gating? I didn't watch the twitch stream *completely (cause screw twitch).

 

I think they've said in the past that things other than gender that would gate romances. Could be race, could be choices you make, who knows.

 

Wouldn't help. The reason I said that is that content felt quite thin. Unless you romanced Garrus. But I prefer, fewer, deeper, romances.

 

Ah. I'm not really worried about that, since they've been working on this so long, but you could have a point.

Hmm something to remember. Assuming all romances are either with advisers or companions, 8 is the maximum number of possible romances that still allows for an even split along gender lines. That's assuming all women, but Leliana (who I believe they confirmed is non-romanceable) are romanceable. Now we know Cullen is romanceable so that would mean 3 male party members as options. We know that Cole IS NOT one of them, which leaves DHMG, Varric, Iron Bull, Blackwall, and Solas, pick 3. Hmm looks like the idea of Blackwall, Iron Bull, or Varric being an LI isn't so farfetched after all.

I'm pretty sure that was choices.

And that's ignoring the fact that some LIs may not be followers, but important NPCs not affiliated with the Inquisition.

While there are downsides, I can't really deny that I'm very happy that all three of the guys I wanted may just now be options.

I think it'll DHMG, Solas definitely.

 

I don't think Blackwall will be a romance. He became a Grey Warden by choice, and really believes in their ideals - wouldn't want to let love get in the way of his duty (like my grey warden did...)

 

I like the idea of Iron Bull as a romance more than Varric, because Varric has his Bianca. But I also want Varric romancable for the sake of people who wanted to romance him in DA2, so they don't get teased for another full game. So I'm hoping both of them are romances. Maybe if they're both gated by race, they'll still count as a total one 1 romance for the sake of fairness, based on how many players actually could romance them.

They never actually said, so it could be both. Or neither. Could be gated by the time of day, color of your hair, many things.

Considering DA doesn't have a history of locking romances due to race restrictions and the vast majority playing humans would make it...illogical at best I highly doubt it. NVM the time of day and whatnot.

 

DA does have a history of ending romances due to choices you made however.

So I guess I'm the only person who assumed he meant "that we've done in Dragon Age," huh?

Nope but apparently he said in a BW game? Twitch stream kicked me out after 4 minutes.

So Varric takes smaller half of the spectrum and Iron Bull takes the larger half? I could work with that.

Hm, I didn't hear him say "in a Bioware game" but it's possible I just ... didn't hear that. I suspect even so, ME3 is such a weird case ...

"He overeats, drinks himself sick, and will hop into bed with anyone he’s reasonably sure he won’t break. He’s been close to death enough times to appreciate life whenever he has the chance."

 

...Iron Bull bi romance?

Pfft, a dwarf would be fine, it's the elves that would have an issue.

I don't think Isabela would've defended the Qun...

 

Hm...he and my mage Qunari might have some issues. She's not gonna like the Qun...at all.

Pfft. Leaving DHMG already? Tut tut.

I don't think its illogical, I think it would allow them to stick to their characterization. There could be a human companion who looks down on elves - at which point letting an elf character romance them muddies their characterization. Unless that companion's character arc is about them learning to accept elves, but what if they don't want that to be his arc?

 

They could also gate them by class - in the mage/templar war, it's completely possible some companions may not want to romance a mage. Or could think mages are superior and only want to romance mages.

For me it depends on how they don't get along. If they're at each other's throats like Fenris and Anders, yeah, I'm going to wind up being bros with whoever didn't start it, but it's entirely possible they're more mellow about it.
