Hopefully they are restricted by race as well.

I've always liked Cullen sense DAO and even more in DA2. I'm no super creepy fan-girl either. But I'd hate to see him turned into Anders.

 

I am not sure what this means? Like you have a problem with bisexuality or "changing" sexualities?

[sandalisthemaker]

Can there at least be confirmation that there will be a choice in regards to same sex options, instead of being stuck with just one like in DAO.

 

I think they will make it fair this time, but confirmation would be nice.

Going back to an old system is progressive? 

I don't see it as "going back to an old system". What old system?

Lol imagine no love for the qunari.

Again, great point.  Still, I would disagree.  I think a balanced variety is more realistic than everyone being the same.  Statistically speaking, if you took a random group of 100 people, roughly 50% would be male and 50% would be female (give or take 10% due to unknown variables).  With three choices of sexual orientation, homosexual, bisexual, and heterosexual -- assuming there is no cultural bias to affect their answers -- it would likely be an even split amongst the three.  The odds that even ten people chosen at random would all be bisexual is astronomical.

 

A group of twelve people shouldn't have to conform to any greater statistical model.

Like him and yet never seen you around talking about him. It seems more like you suddenly develop an interest due to his hype. Whatever, I don't care. We had this talk before, so since the world doesn't revolve around you, just because you think he's straight doesn't mean he's straight. If Cullen is bi, then he is bi.

I do . Big problem . But I won't get into that .Noone more warnings for me today.

Who wouldn't want a piece of Iron Bull?

Come on

Really. Everyone pretty much complains about all the other lazy things in DA2 like the infamous cave, but when it comes to sex, apparently it's A-OK.

 

This is because, for people that liked it, they saw a positive out of it.  Not many people would see a positive out of the reused cave.

I get the feeling that the gay male option will be one of the elves again.  Ugh...    So sick of elves.

I wanted to mention that I have one problem with Cameron's use of the word "realism" and why I'm personally hesitant to give him a pass on this one.

 

It's not like a magazine can come by and just interview BioWare anytime they want.  Did he not prepare for the interview by writing down possible answers to such questions like "What is the sexuality of the companions in Inquisition?"  Surely that was a question that wouldn't have taken him unaware.

 

Did he not even think to perhaps have a colleague read over his responses and go "Um, you might want to reword that answer," before making such a poor choice of words?  He just went into that interview unprepared??  Cameron's been in the business a long time and been dealing with the press for years.  He's not an amateur, but this was a rather amateurish move on his part.  Especially after Manveer Heir's panel at GDC, there is no excuse for this wording.  I'll forgive and let go in time, but man...this was painful to read.

Eh, so if the player character is straight, then all of the LI characters are explicitly straight? I...don't think that would really fix anything. It'd basically be that "no gay" toggle that Gaider shot down on tumblr.

 

No I never said all the LI's would change based on the sexual orientation choice.  

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Set sexuality has been Bioware's system in KOTOR, Mass Effect franchise, Dragon Age Origins, Jade Empire, and Balder's Gate franchise. DA2 was the only game where they did 'everyone is available to anyone' concept, and now they are going back to Origins. So it is a step back.

Careful, logic might not be welcomed on this forum. *cough*

About the 'realism' wording, I personally think my previous paragraph saying how its more about making the characters their own people with defined distinctions and tastes is maybe more what was on the mind of the devs when making this decision (any dev feel free to point me wrong).  He seemed to know the weirdness or effect the word would have since he stuttered with it, but couldn't really think of any other short way or one-word description for it.

 

 

Good points.

 

I hope he gets a chance to redo his explanation a bit.

[JoltDealer]

A group of twelve people shouldn't have to conform to any greater statistical model.

Then flip a coin twelve times and see what happens.  If there are only two outcomes with equal chances of happening, then chances are the result will be split evenly amongst the two.  Then again, maybe the devs are just taking equal representation a tad too seriously.

Why do you think there will only be one option?

Bioware has said they were returning back to their roots with DAI.

Disregarding all the complaints and schadenfreude, this is how I think the romances will be set up (at least for the males):

 

Straight Male: Cullen

Bi Male: Solas

Gay Male: DHMG

 

Reason being that Cullen was heavily shown to be straight in DA:O and the majority of his fans are female, so he's probably going to cater to them. Solas is bi because he's the only elf companion and I doubt they're going to leave females out of romancing other races. Finally, DHMG is gay because he is around Cullen's level of attractiveness, so both straight girls and gay guys get an attractive companion, with a fairly "unattractive" guy for both to romance.

[kaymarierose]

While I was really hoping they would go the Dragon Age 2 route, as long as Cassandra is romancable by a Fem!Inquisitor, I'll be happy.

 

My fingers are sooooo crossed. That is the one piece of news I'm waiting for, I am sated about everything else.

[Former_Fiend]

I personally don't think sexuality has any impact on a person's personality. The love interests would be just as defined as characters in there personalities regardless of what sexualities they had, even if they're all bisexual.

 

If we're going to start imposing limits to help define the characters, gender isn't the place to start. Values and ideals are the place to start. Cassandra and Cullen shouldn't romance a blood mage, Solas and Sera shouldn't romance people who are bigoted against elves, Iron Bull shouldn't romance someone who's bigoted against qunari, Vivienne, Dorian, and Solas shouldn't romance someone who's bigoted against mages.

 

Those are the distinctions that matter in regards to the integrity of their characters, in my opinion.

Hmm, been a while since I've done anything related to statistics, but being exactly divided evenly doesn't have all that high a probability either.

I think she just had problems with gay people in general from reading her older posts.
