Read the last two pages, we all had a civil discussion, but then I got accused of hating white people or something. I'm guessing I was the reason the thread was locked. Kinda want to talk to someone to get the thread open again.

 

I tried my best to be offended but the only thing I could come up was it does not work that way for elves. Seems heavy handed if that was the reason. Mind you I got a warning for telling someone an Asari is not female, so go figure.

That would be my guess also. I want him to be gay while Solas is straight. Solas seems to be pretty popular with the ladies afterall. His thread surpassed Dorian. 

 

I think Solas might be the Bi LI along with Vivienne or Scribe Girl

Based on number of posts, I thought Solas would be in higher demands. However, I notice that straight girls want him to be gay while gay guys want him to be straight. Not even bisexual, since they want that slot to be filled by someone they would want to romance. 

lol I haven't noticed that tread, but it does make some sense. I can see why he'd appeal to women as a gay romance option. I on the other hand could careless what he ends up as so long as Dorian is romanceable by a woman. Though I could see Dorian as a good bi character. For some reason Solas and Sera are like my least favorite characters. That might change in game though.

At this point, the gay LI could be Dorian or Solas, but if it's one or the other, I kind of want a charming, funny, DORKY and NICE one and have a break from the rather heavy and tragic gay LIs we got for male player-characters. (Ah, Fenris and Anders, I love you both, but at the same time, you two are such jerks as well).

What's the context for "more romances than any other Dragon Age game"?

Likely 6, could be 8.

I think I'd like if we just got some characters that aren't all tragic. I love fenris and anders, but it was very depressing at times. I'd love to see some fun characters with more positive attitudes.

Solas could be the DA:I version of Garrus ;) (my personal favorite romance and he snuck up on me, crafty turian) I guess that is why I love the surprise while secretly wanting to know. I always thought Kaidan was for me then Garrus stole my heart and I can never get it back. I also went into DA:O originally planning to romance Zevran because I love elves, then I was still emotionally raw from ME3 (I am fairly new to gaming), so I said to heck with romances, I just want story. Fat chance, Alistair opened his mouth, was a complete smart alec and I was hook. Then I met Zevran and went "Oh no no no". He reminded me of a guy in a pick up bar *shudders* So save a few cares for Solas, just in case he is a romance, he might surprise you.

It might change once I see it in game, but for now I can't really get into him. It might be the lack of solid information on him too. It is funny because Kaiden was like my love for ME series. I liked other character's romances too, but he was forever my love. In DAO though I was all about Alistair, but then Zev comes along I am like **** I can't choose! I want both! So it is 50/50 now if I end up with one or the other if I'm going for a straight romance. In DA2 I was sure I'd end up with anders first go around (fenris didn't even interest me that much), but fenris walks all up into there with his broody self and I couldn't resist. His scenes were good and passionate. So yeah I never settle on first impressions because I know things can change once you are in game and see the context.

The same thing happened in ME2 when I thought I'd take a stab at Garrus and in the end I was romancing Thane. No offense to Garrus because he is awesome, but Thane just struck a chord with me. Maybe I have a thing for tragic endings lol.

Seems I'm only one who played DAO 5 times and never romance Alistar. He just not my type. That's why I don't know if it is good idea to romance Cullen in DAI, because people says, he is inquizition Alistar. May be it is not true, I don't know.

It's interesting to note that Gaider wrote Fenris from the perspective of a male Hawke, maybe that's why the sex is so angry and violent. lol. As much as I love Kaidan, some of his scenes were written from the point of view of a female, so I feel a bit cheated in certain parts like missing scene for the male Shepard. I hope they write bi characters from their point of view instead of the protagonist point of view. They should be subtle differences if, for example, Cullen is bi and how he would approach a male vs a female protagonist,.

I like his sense of humor and his look, but the more times I play, the more I find him to be a spineless whine baby. Alistair and Cullen are similar only in term of look and they're both former templar. Cullen however would be willing to do whatever it take to preserve his idea, a natural leader, and very opinionated. That's the impression I had of him in DA2.

Definitely. It is very different romancing one gender over another so I hope they do think about this when doing bi characters. I actually enjoyed knowing that anders tells you about Karl if you are a male romancing him. Gives his romance something else that isn't the same as a female romance.

It doesn't surprise me about fenris, but I still enjoyed it all the same.

I could never justify Thane as a romance if I had romanced Kaidan in 1. Though I did love him immensely. He just seemed more like I was going to confession talking to him and there wasn't enough time to know him. Where as Garrus, I knew, I trusted, and he was my BFF. If I am going into a suicide mission with a broken heart, let me be in the arms of someone who really knows me. They sealed my Garrus love though with that Tango and Citadel DLC. If not for Raphael Sbarge sneaking me back with his voice, Kaidan would be solo all the time LOL

 

So, as much as I already have my scope on Cullen, I have this sneaking suspicion someone is going to steal my heart with their personality. It's why I talk to everyone. I want to know them first and foremost, if I didn't I would have hated Morrigan. She was mean to my Alistair and could be cold. Very different from my light hearted rogue. But that last conversation with her, I wanted to hug her. I'm a sucker when someone calls me their "sister".

 

I bounce between Fenris and Anders, I can never make up my mind. I get wicked jealous when Isabella and Fenris flirt, even if I am with Anders, and want to scream "Back off Bestie or I am gonna sick Aveline on you!" haha. Maybe it is my affection for Elvish, I dunno, but Solas has me doing the squinty eye thinking there is something about his personality that I am going to want to wrap him in a blankie and feed him cookies while Cullen looks disapprovingly at me.

I'm not sure can I romance enyone else than Fenris in DA2  :wub:  If it's true that Gaider wrote Fenris romance from the perspective of a male Hawke then I welcome more romances for females to be written from a perspective of a male PC.

I'm not sure if it's biased or something, but when most writers write a male LI, he usually treats let the male LI treat the female with care. I like the cold and disdain attitude Fenris gives Hawke since the relationship between 2 guys don't have the chivalry factors involved. Female Hawke is not being treated as the weaker sex as the result, I feel like. You can search for it, but David Gaider mentioned it on his blog a REALLY long time ago. Then again, it would fall into the tropes where females like bad boys and nice guys finish last. lol

lol oh god I love the tango dancing. Seriously, one of the best scenes ever. I have the same feeling. I was sure Cullen would be my first play romance, but I'm rethinking that with Dorian. His personality feels like it would mesh better with my first play character. Who knows though? I can surprise myself.

That's funny because when I'm with anders or with fenris I want to be with the other too. I want to have 'em both! I wish it was an option somehow, completely dreaming there I know though. I always want to be like Isabela you can't have him, he's mine!

We can have a harem in Jade Empire, but it seems a bit greedy. I can't choose between Cullen and Dorian atm, so it would be awesome if I can have them both. We can technically do it with Alistair and Zevran, so maybe there will be another in this game.

That tango was seriously the hottest thing ever to me. I looovvve the tango. I drool like a school girl when I watch Texas' video "In Demand" and Alan Rickman tangos with the singer in a gas station *swoon*

 

I laughed out loud at the image of Fenris and Anders living in Hawke's mansion, snarking at each other all the time while Dog chased Anders Ser Pouncealot replacement *falls over in tears* I need this in my life now. And YES! I have stopped a play through because Isabella was making moves on Fenris. Girl I love you and your pirate fierceness, but you need to go play with Daisy or Varric, this elf is off limits no matter who is living in my house.

 

Until this last batch of trailers and gameplay, I was convinced Dorian was Snidely Whiplash and I was going to have to boot in his bum for being all blood magey, tevinter scuzzy, evil man. Now I am thinking I need to watch my back with Vivienne and Dorian is going to be a little kitten lost in the rain who needs pets and milk.

hopefully not. I just want one Bioware game where male characters are as smart as the female companions...

I'd like to see more male characters who are like Alistair. Well-characterized, but not incredibly bitchy and depressing like Anders and Fenris.

You want naive little babies that whine at everything you do because IDEALISM and leave you on the eve of the big battle if he does not get his petty revenge and outright betrays the order and memory of his mentor?

They can't be smart and still give them cuddles? I want to pet and cuddle Wrex all the time and he is smart... He would probably glare down at me then in that deep baritone say "Shepard... did you inhale some red sand?"  But I still want to do it.

I think he's rude...not as smart as morrigan or miranda or bastila (or vivienne and cassandra I suppose)
