Cass was interested in a male Hawke, she's into humans. Stop overacting ,sigh.

 

I don't know- she could have been Hawkesexual as well.

David's comment about some gender/race combinations getting more options than others and trying to balance it so that certain groups are not too heavily favored implied a fair amount of both race and gender restrictions going on. Definitely more than one or two. 

I interpret the comment in a way that if you romance one LI with a human PC and with a qunari PC then the romance content might be different. For example you don't see the sex scene if you play with Qunari PC.

I'm confused, when did they confirm racial restriction? My males were most disappointed when they heard they can't romance Sera. I'm going to be quite displeased if I must make a spreadsheet to decide what story I'm telling. Although it might keep replays from getting stale.

Now you see... the spreadsheet's a bit of a selling point for me, but I can see why it would put others off. (I have a fondness for meticulously planning out my games drives my friends crazy).

Yes. There is no guarantee that a particular gender/race combination will have as many romantic prospects as another.

 

And that's fine. Romance options are not candy to be dispensed fairly and evenly, and if there's a particular character that you've decided before the game is released that you must romance, it's advisable you play a different PC. The most we can do (and have done) is ensure that there's no overall slanting towards a particular group-- it's all over the map, for various reasons.

Varric doesn't do guys.

*Screams internally*

[Abelas Forever!]

I would say Qunari might be one race affected. I doubt Cullen would like them because of Kirkwall and if Varric actually is an LI he'd be the same. 

That might be possible. It doesn't sound that bad if you can't romance one LI with one race while romancing that Li with other races is possible.

Iron Bull: bisexual. Humans & Qunari
Sera: gay. Elves, dwarves and qunari
Dorian: gay. Humans, elves and dwarves
Cassandra: bisexual. All
Cullen: Straight. Humans, elves, dwarves
Vivienne: All
Solas: Bisexual. All ( i did have a restriction on humans, but i dont think both elves will have that restriction)
Scribbles: bisexual. All? (We dont know anything about her)

[Former_Fiend]

If this turned out to be true I'd be disappointed to say the least. It'd make it completely impossible to play a queer lady Qunari :/

 

Or a straight male qunari, for that matter.

 

Trust me, it's not an outcome I want. It's one I fear.

[Lilith]

Okay, so, I've been obsessing over this restrictions thing, and I think I have a good start on a list! A lot of these are me just throwing things at it and saying, "SURE THAT WORKS", and not a lot of thought was put into it. But I like have lists because that means organization and that makes me happy.  So here it is, my glorious LI LIST OF MOSTLY RANDOM THOUGHTS.
 

CULLEN: Straight; Humans, Elves
CASSANDRA: Straight; Humans, Dwarves
SERA: Gay; Humans, Elves, Dwarves
DORIAN: Gay; Humans, Elves, Dwarves
SCRIBBLES: Bisexual; Humans, Elves, Qunari
THE IRON BULL: Bisexual; Humans, Qunari
VARRIC: Straight; Dwarves

-Put differently-

HUMAN - Cullen, Cassandra, Sera, Dorian, Scribbles, the Iron Bull
ELF - Sera, Dorian, Cullen, Scribbles
DWARF - Varric, Dorian, Sera, Cassandra
QUNARI - The Iron Bull, Scribbles
 
FEMALE - Cullen, the Iron Bull, Varric, Sera, Scribbles
MALE - Cassandra, Scribbles, Dorian, the Iron Bull
 
STRAIGHT - Cullen, Cassandra, Varric
BISEXUAL - The Iron Bull, Scribbles
GAY - Dorian, Sera

 

Having Varric be a romance option only for female dwarfs seems like a lot of work for very little payoff. An entire romance arc that only people that play both as a female and as a dwarf will get to see? It just doesn't seem likely to me.

[TheodoricFriede]

Oh what the hell?

 

Did it just get confirmed that race restricted romance is a thing?

Hmm, true. Perhaps he also goes for qunari? (Have you seen some of the Varric/fem!qunari fanart? It's adorable.)

[Former_Fiend]

Couple hours ago, yea.

Not that I agree with the one you replied to, but given that they are placing both gender and race restrictions so the "little payoff due to demographic" doesn't really make sense.

[TheodoricFriede]

Well. My patience just ran out.

 

That was the deal-breaker for me.

[Sir Froggie]

And my hope for Dagna has just been restored.

[AresKeith]

And my hope for Dagna has just been restored.

 

Oh right, I forgot about Dagna xD

[SerCambria358]

Imagine if Varrics romance could only be achieved through a DLC

[Ryzaki]

As long as we have choice restrictions along with those racial restrictions I'm fine. I'm fast approaching the make a male PC eyecandy and enjoy the game being a complete dick to everyone like I did in ME stage anyway.

 

So male mage just got bumped up to number 1. Whoot.

[Phate Phoenix]

And my hope for Dagna has just been restored.

 

oh my gosh i forgot about dagna

 

[SQUEE] That would be amazing.

[Milady]

Couple hours ago, yea.

 

Do you know where?

[Former_Fiend]

Do you know where?

 

First alluded to in the Cassandra thread then confirmed a few pages back in this one, both times by David Gaider.

Yeah I don't know how it's gonna work but I bet most romances are going to be available to humans because that's what most people play.

[Ryzaki]

If I end up with a lonely, pissed off mage, he'll be an elf for sure. Velanna will have nothing on him.

 

XD those tend to be the playthroughs I have the most fun in. "Best way to stop that is to show me you're competent!" trolololol watching the companions get pissed is always hilarious.
