Straight, I think you'd guess. 

 

And that goes back to what I posted before. You probably wouldn't be singing the same tune if We had 2 gay and 2 bi options. 

 

2 straight 2 bi, what do you care right? You still get access to everyone. Change that up a bit, and yeah, it's not so awesome anymore.

How is it that I, a lesbian, get this penis thing better than you?

Bigger dudes does not mean bigger dicks. Your assumption isn't 'common sense' because a look around a men's shower could tell you this. Your assumption isn't using 'your brain' because five minutes on google could explain that's not how reproductive organs work.

If you like the idea of incredibly well-endowed qunari dudes stuffing elven and human women to bursting, that's fine. Trying to suggest it's anything more than a sexual fantasy is ridiculous though.

Down, Maria. Chill.

Wanting is one thing. Actually expecting something is entitlement.

I'd at least like to know who I shouldn't end up wanting a romance with, so far have an unbreakable streak of preferring the ones who are locked out of my gender, also Aveline... Ending up with the choices I would have made on a third or fourth playthrough as my main choices is getting boring.

I guess they were never confirmed in the first place?

 

 

They're confirmed. David Gaider said it himself.

We can go with that. Would you say, based on one playthrough, that the sexualities of the characters were fleshed out? I'd say only Isabela's were. Not that it is a subject that has to be "fleshed out", but it goes a long way to avoid the objectification of characters.

 

Yes, I think that their sexualities were perfectly well fleshed out for the story that I was playing.  I genuinely don't think that a bisexual person is under any obligation to disclose their sexuality to their friends.  It is unrealistic to expect this.  Having a bisexual person not discuss their sexuality does not in any way, in my opinion, led to "objectification" of said person.  I do not follow this train of logic.  At all.

Does the phrase 'strawman' mean anything to you? Or are we changing goalposts, here?

 

'Cause I sure as hell don't remember saying anything about 'meaning' in any of my posts. Nor do I recall you saying any such thing in your previous posts.

 

In fact, my first post on this topic was a reply to someone claiming we were owed content, actual, objective content, because he thought we were BioWare's patrons.

 

I was always talking about meaning.  It's pretty well impossible to separate content from meaning here because content is what both the devs and the players use to create meaning, so in this sense *yes,* the devs do have an obligation (for the kind of art they are presenting themselves as making - fun art for the enjoyable consumption of their audience) to try to understand what kinds of content the audience likes to have as tools in that process.  It doesn't mean they have to do precisely what *I* want or *you* want at any given moment.  But it does mean they have to pay attention to what their audience wants.  They cannot create commercial art in a vacuum based only on what they want.  (Nor do I even think they claim that they do this. I think fans put that meaning into their mouths).

You know my theory. Sometime earlier today a forum moderator bumped into David Gaider's car and dented the bumper. This is his revenge.

Spoiler


I am trying to catch up but wanted to make an added point here. Your right in most aspects. Myself and few of my friends would call a male doing the same thing a male-**** as well or a who**. I will tell them right to their face too when I hear it. Those around work know I will, guess this is why I have few more female friends than male friends at work. One guy tried to defend himself against that term, then gave up.

Just cut some other lines out that was too much to say here. :)

I see the Anders  conversation as a way to indicate to the players using a male Hawke that he was available to their character. 

 

Fenris being used as a "body slave" is in no way indicative of his sexual orientation so that example of yours doesn't really count as him withholding his sexuality from female Hawke.

Technically I believe that Fenris was "close" to Danarius before he lost his memories. But I would ahve to go check up on the lore, which I can't be bothered with currently.

 

And WHY would Anders withhold that same information from a female character? There is no reason to it, other than to create the illusion of him being straight.

I dont see what the fuss is. Some people are just not attracted to certain things. Just like somebody said earlier. Im gay, so ill never date a woman because that just isnt what im attracted to. Just like Varric wont date a human because they arent attracted to them.

At the moment i just want to know if some races will be restricted to fewer (or perhaps even none, in a worst case scenario) options than others. Particuarly since gender gating is already in place. 

 

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.

What other meaning could that have? Someone asked if there would be restrictions based on race.

 

He said that there would be some races that end up with less then others.

 

Theres really no two ways around it.

 

Also, its not nice to shout, use your big/girl boy voice.

If wanting something makes you "entitled" then you are equally as entitled as everyone else on this forum, mate.

 

Really? And what exactly do I want?

 

'Cause I'm pretty sure I ain't dumb enough to share what I actually want on these forums.

 

They're confirmed. David Gaider said it himself.

 

No, they are not confirmed. They aren't unconfirmed, either. It's kind of limbo at the moment.

MEANING THERE COULD VERY WELL BE NO RACE RESTRICTED ROMANCES.

So a new topic could be 'Is Varric an intolerant racist because he's not into humans?'.

But it is currently looking far more likely that there are.

 

In theory Sera could still end up bisexual, but as we know things right now, its pretty damned likely she's gay, and its pretty damned likely that the already small pool of romance options will be limited by race as well.
