1. Solas, I believe it is stated that he is more concerned with the elves.

 

Where was this stated? There seems to be next to no information about the character.

A lot of people have said it, but I said believe, not that I was certain.

 

The point was that Solas might be the "elven" romance, and not Sera, as there is no real clue that Sera only has romantic feelings for elves.

[Zjarcal]

But what about those kinds of people who do not want to make a specific race to romance their favorite character to express themselves?

Tough luck on them.

Complaining you gotta roll a different character to do optional story content would be like complaining you had to roll different characters to see all the origin content in DAO.

Sure, it may suck you don't get what you want (I've been there before), but ultimately it's not really a big deal.

*facepalm* I am not talking about gender. There is simply nothing to even suggest that they are race-gating any particular companion, so suggesting ANYONE will, without a doubt, be racially restricted, especially someone who is already restricted, is dumb.

 

You are the one who just brought up gender, right?

 

Anyway, if you don't think that a character will be both race and gender gated, then feel free to make predictions that don't include it.  Other people think it's possible, so they will make predictions that include it.  I don't agree with a lot of the predictions, but it is what it is.

What makes these predictions more than just stupid blind idiocy? The fact that it is there but they did not say HOW it was being implemented?

[Mr.House]

More than likely, there are people out there who will not play Inquisition if they cannot romance a character they want they way they want.

Bioware should not and thankfully does not cater to those people.

It's speculation.  The whole point of speculation is to use the limited information we have in order to make predictions about what may be.  Saying Sera is an elf only romance is speculation.  It's not my speculation, but other people are able to predict whatever they want and I'm able to accept or disregard it as I see fit.

[GVulture]

I am of the mind that if we're going to go at each other because we don't think the speculation, we should move to the other romance thread.

Heck, all we have right now is speculation. If we didn't speculate, this forum would be a ghost town between news.

And there would be no such thing as a romance discussion thread.

 

Imagine that.

I just would not want that to be even suggested, as I plan a Qunari warrior girl, and would not want to rethink that just to romance Sera.

 

Plus, why should we talk about race-restrictions on a SEXUAL ORIENTATION thread?

I want to romance Cassandra with a female qunari Inquisitor.

Should people not suggest that she might be straight? Or that she might not like qunari?

again, not talking about the gender, just hold off on the racial restrictions until we know more about it.

But that's the fun part of the speculating right now. At least, for me it is.

What I mean is that we have no clue what they will do. For all we know the racial stuff could be meant for mini-romances.

[Grieving Natashina]

So in a thread where folks are speculating about romance, where sexuality is set and in a setting where there is a lot of tension between races, can't talk about race-gating affection romance? 

 

I don't think they mean "mini-romances" either.  I'd suggest reading Allan's post here.  Besides, I don't think the conversation about race gating is going to stop, so it's probably for the best that you either just ignore that part of the conversation.  

 

Finally, this is for fun.  If you think it's a waste of time to have fun with ideas, then this isn't the thread for you.

We have no clue about the sexual orientation either!  It's all speculation at this point.

Indeed it could! But I like to play around with different layouts. I have, like, ten or eleven setups at the moment. I think of something new and go make another one. It's caught my brain. But now you have me thinking about different flings they could have in the game. Oh, the varieties!

Fine. But the mini-romances was merely an example.

Much of sexual orientations for quite a few people can be established, whereas race-gating romances are something not even hinted at other than they will happen (which could simply mean that "bisexuals" will be restricted by race, meaning that those restricted by gender are never getting race-restrictions).

[jlb524]

Just for one.

[Finnn62]

idk, maybe because the OP suggested it?

 

Beyond that, if you suspect there will be race restrictions, what do you predict will be said restrictions with each companion?

I'm just saying people aren't really getting out of line with what the original starter of this thread was trying to accomplish by including race in their predictions/guesses. Let people have their fun. That's all it is: a bit of fun, which was also stated by the OP of this thread:

 

My predictions: (they could be totally wrong! I'm just doing this for fun...)

 

I do try to think about what I think each companion would likely be like when I come up with predications/guesses, but not everyone has to because we don't have a clue on most of the stuff including sexual orientation, anyways. We can guess, based on previous info on characters that we've seen, but then they might go and pull and Anders and make a character have a different orientation/racial preference than suspected from a previous game or something to that effect. Nobody knows whether Sera will be race-restricted. Just because someone suggests she might be, doesn't mean it's going to happen. 

 

People are just posting what they think might happen, maybe based on a logical, hard thought on train of thought, maybe not, because we're bored and we don't know, so why not just throw options out there while we wait. Just chill; we'll find out the truth in a few months. I'm anxious to know, too, but we need not get too uptight about it.

You could argue that the race-gating romance was hinted at with Iron Bull.  His profile mentioning that he'll jump into bed with anyone he thinks he won't break suggests that there are certain races that he would avoid, like maybe the elves.  

 

There's also information we know on Varric that he's said in the past that he's not really into humans and mentioning that he wished there were cute dwarven girls around.  Whether it was said in jest or not is up to the player to decide, but it's at least some info we can speculate about.  

[draken-heart]

Really? Cassandra and Cullen, they can be seen as Straight considering their histories, and until suggestions that the "hero worship" from DA2 had a more romantic tone, I can't see her Cassandra as bi, and there is nothing to suggest Cullen is bi at all.

 

Plus, for the race-gating, why suggest that Sera be gay AND elf only if you do not think she will be that? other than being an idiot. Possibly the "race-restriction" is code for "one race will have the same number of romances but with different partners that the others"?

Cassandra being smiley at a guy and kissing him on the cheek 18 years ago doesn't necessarily make her straight. Cullen having a crush on a female mage ten years ago doesn't make him straight. They very well could be bisexual. I'm bisexual, and five years ago I was only ever going after girls. My only showing outward interest in one gender didn't make me any less bi, and also people change over time. A person can learn a lot about their sexuality in 10 or 18 years.
