As it stands I'm not going to allow any of this to change my plans for what inquisitor I'm going to play. This is just an annoyance.

 

Well I admit it changed my plans. FemQunari's gonna be second now so I can get most of the meeeeeeh I'm feeling out in my Ice King mage playthrough and just have fun being a dick.

 

Then femQunari will hug the kittens.

 

...then probably back to manipulative evil mage.

 

I can't help it. Games I don't have romance in I tend to play the evil people cause it's just plain more fun and without the concern of how my companions think of me I don't give a damn if they're upset I punted that kitten off a roof for the lulz.

I was a fan of da2. Really dislike the opposite way they've gone with with masses of arbitrary restrictions.

They wanted to do something different. Change is a part of life.  I know it sucks but we can't always get what we want.

 

And considering all the awards they are getting at E3....they must be doing something right.

I hope most of the rage on the last few pages is about the race preferences and not the gender ones. Are gay companions not allowed to ever exist?   :(

It´s about race :) no need to worry;) we will have atleast one gay companion for LI ;) (or so i hope anyway)...

Thats a good point. Because all I see now is "WAHHHHHH I can't play how I want. This game sucks"

 

I don't think the developers owe me anything. I will roll male and female inquisitors and try all the romances.  People need to learn to adapt or have an open mind

 

That's not how it is. People have been civil in multiple threads for the most part. It got bad in the Sera thread for a bit, but that was closed off pretty quickly.

 

I'm OK with the policy myself, but... I don't know. Got to put this out here.

So people on Tumblr are blowing up about race restrictions for romances.

 

Can someone point me to the source on this? Because I'm completely unable to find it.

 

David Gaider said that there was no guarantee that a particular race/gender combination would have as many romance possibilites as another.

 

Some people, for reasons of their own, have chosen to take this as a hard and fast confirmation of race restrictions, rather than the ass-covering it is.

Adaptation is compromise.

They already put a warning out that everyone on both sides stop taunting each other.

 

Just saying. I'm not going to be lame and report you or anything... but come on. You're not helping.

What else could "Some races will have less options then others" possibly mean?

Well, the folks at E3 could have realised that the romances are optional content, and a relatively small part of a great game.

Is it possible for one race/gender combination to have less options than another without race restrictions? Assuming the difference is not solely determined by gender and the inclusion of race is redundant.

And... compromise is bad?

I am not taunting. I am caricaturizing.

The side missions are optional content aswell...but alas, i agree. it would not be a Bioware game without them though...romances that is.

In this case, yes.

 

I am not going to compromise how I want to play the game just to get the romance content. I am not going to play a character type that I have no interest in playing just to get into this or that companion's pants.

Then I'll just say not everyone can be a caricature. In fact, most aren't.

 

It's been pretty good. It got really nasty yesterday.. lots of.. real world opinion stuff seeping through on gay/straight stuff. This isn't anything like it.

Well, if there are race restrictions I really hope dwarves and qunari don't get the short end of the stick. Or no stick at all.

Dislike all gating as I preferred where romances were available to all orientations. Race gating is straw to camels back IMO.

The Sera thread took a bad turn too.  I can understand why people are upset but we can't get everything we want in life.

 

I just don't expect my demands to be fufilled when I play games either.

That's not what he said. He said that there was no guarantee that a particular race/gender (emphasis mine) would have as many romantic prospects as another.

 

That does not mean that some races will have less. It means that certain race/gender combinations might have less than others. Or, conversley, that some might have more.

 

Maybe. For all we know, it is the gender that is the significant variable here, and that all races have an equal amount of romances. Again, maybe.

Marketing doesn't trust you with that information, eh? :P

 

More that I don't actively go looking for it and they don't openly share it with people. (I understand your comment was more in jest, but just wanted to make sure it was clear)
