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.

You don´t fight for anything do you lol? J/k j/k. and yes, we have zero power over what bioware those with the games, but we can voice our opinions about it.

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

It adds realism to the game.

Man, if this is like Baldur's Gate II, where all my dwarf and gnome and halfling characters had to end up forever alone... I may cry.

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 don't, nobody is going to make you. You have that right to not compromise.

 

Just as Bioware have the exact same right to make the game that they wanted to make and not compromise with those that don't like the direction they're taking it.

People keep making this claim and I keep denying it. 

 

It's like that guy who had to push a rock up a hill only for it to fall down again.

More should not be regarded unquestioningly as a good thing. And in fact very obviously isn't, current issues aside.

I fought for marriage equality for my brother and was thrown against the wall and spit on by someone on the opposing side during a protest.  And he got away with it too.

 

So yes I do fight for things. 

 

But as I said...the game developers don't owe me anything.

 

What they are doing is offering MORE playability and as someone who wants their money's worth....that is a good thing to me. :wizard:

Because apparently six people being open to the idea of an interracial relationship is completely unrealistic and utterly destroys the immersion value of the game.

Pro - great potential for amusing dialogue when rejecting someone based on race.

Are you referring to the Qunari?

Come on now that was more than ten years ago. Things have changed since then, now we have a lesbian companion LI? That would be inimaginable in BG2's time.

Juhani was lesbian (although there was a bug that made her available otherwise).

You ever considered that it MIGHT be because they are just not that into you?

Racial restrictions now as well?   :mellow:

I don't like it.  But now Iron Bull's bio of "bedding anyone that doesn't break" makes me think that if he is an LI -- or fling or whatever -- it could be solely based on race.

I think it's the same approach they took to everything about the companions in Inquisition, and it's one that I approve of.

 

They didn't pick and choose attractive features for the faces, they designed the faces with the character in mind, and didn't care if some parts were not conventionally attractive or looked awkward, as long as it fit the character. 

 

They didn't worry about having the team be perfectly gender balanced, but chose the companion concepts they found the most engaging. 

 

they didn't plan out an evenly spread set of bisexual companions so that romance options could be completely equal and uniform, they designed the characters with fixed sexualities in mind and stuck to them, likely sorting out romance options later. 

 

And finally, they did the same as the above with race. No artificial- pre-determined distributions to enforce complete equality, go with what fits the characters and do some alterations afterwards if things are just a bit too skewed. 

 

It's the same character-driven approach applied to all aspects of design, and it puts the characters themselves above everything, from appearance to romance options. And I love the fact that they are doing this. It feels like a group of truly organic and disparate characters who come together and work off each other, not an artificial lineup of dolls each tailored to fill a specific hole on the cookie-cutter sheet.

I am referring to the potential for any of the LI's to be completely closed to the idea of a relationship with a member of any other race.

I'm not particularly upset by either the race or gender gating as long as it is handled with tact and respect. My biggest concern is that the race gating doesnt limit the options for LGBTQ gamers, it would be a shame after the game seemed to be taking strides in the right direction. I'm happy with whichever romance options I get given, and I trust the developers to make decisions which make sense, particularly since as I'm open to romancing both genders with my inquisitor I will likely have more options regardless. What I don't want is (for example) gay males to have to play as a human in order to have a choice of LI's. It seems unfair to offer a choice and then add caveats to it.
That being said, I'm an optimistic lady, and I can't imagine the devs wouldn't have given thought to this issue and made a respectful decision :)
