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'm not sure what they were thinking in regards to that scene. Perhaps is was an oversight due to the game being rushed. 

 

Anders does have some flirty lines with Varric though. I think it was a scene where the two of them are talking, then Anders leaves and Hawke starts a convo with Varric.

They're confirmed. David Gaider said it himself.

 

 

MEANING THERE COULD VERY WELL BE NO RACE RESTRICTED ROMANCES.

Gaider did say "possibly."
 
With the intent of throwing the forums into a state of chaos.


The funny thing is that this was a throw away line in a large post on the Cassandra thread about how he didn't care if people weren't attracted to black women.

Someone asked if there would be race restrictions.  Mr. Gaider said "Yes."

 

Where?

Well, to be fair, his exact quote was:

 


"As for the "rage" regarding people discovering that a character on whom they'd already pinned their romantic hopes suddenly isn't available to them (either by way of gender or race, which are both possibilities in DAI)"

 

He says "which are both possibilities".  That's different than, "it's possibly".  The first suggests that those are both things you might encounter when you play.  The second would suggest that it might or might not be in the game .  It's slightly different to me.

 

It sounds to me as if this is indeed confirmation that there will be gender and race gating in some capacity.  The extent to which, I can't begin to speculate though.  The only thing I would say is that the fact that he says race gating is "a possibility" suggests to me that maybe not all races or LIs will be gated.

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.

 

The difference is Sera was confirmed Gay. Race restrictions were just confirmed as a possibility, nobody said they actually would be in the game, Just that they could be.

I am interested in having an actual discussion about content, and the relationship between dev and customer. You, on the other hand, either inserted yourself into an argument you don't understand and haven't the good grace to admit, or are changing goalposts and using strawmen to avoid admitting you were wrong.

 

In either case, I'm going to have to assume you are a troll, and take requisite action.

 

So some discussion between two people on a thread is what - a private conversation that no one else can ever enter?  I inserted a tangent.  Nobody had to pursue me down that tangent if they didn't want to.  I never changed goalposts.  I probably just did a bad job establishing what my goal post was.

I hope that you are friendly with elu and said this in jest because otherwise, you are being incredibly rude.

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.

Just that they could be. 

Yes, and given the fact that Gaider said it, that increases the possibility far beyond possibly, and into the realm of very very likely.

 

Unless the man would like to clarify, but i severely doubt that will be happening even if he was allowed to do so.

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

 " Or could he just be not that into you?"

I definitely dont see how someone could say thats racist, but if that is the argument for why people dont like Race Restriction then yeah! That was the reason Former_Fiend had.

There is a difference. The devs have flat-out stated that Sera is female-only, while Gaider only said that there was no guarantee that a particular race/gender combination would have the same romantic possibilities as another.

 

Therefore, Sera is most unlikely to change, while we don't actually know what's going on with race restrictions.

I'm not saying there will or won't be, I just thought that was a bit of a false comparison. One was confirmed the other was well idk, sort of maybe confirmed but not officially.
