Even "hinted" and "might" have no real meaning here.

I'm pretty sure racial restrictions, if any, will be limited to qunari and dwarves. They're not going to go further than that.
Agreed. From this prespective it makes sense for them to race gate just on the pure size difference.
Which probably puts IB out of the running for the s/s companion, since I HIGHLY doubt they would race gate one of the s/s romances... unless they plan on having more than one available per gender.

IF they do race-gate, likely is Qunari is the only race to Romance the bull, and Varric will be only romance-able by Dwarves.
Sera can't be open to only elves. Unless someone can get a good picture of a female Elf warrior, with a 2h sword.
I'm thinking Solas might be for female elves only because he is concerned with the future of the elven race.

I think the Iron Bull might be open to humans, if only because there aren't a lot of qunari around for him to hop into bed with.
Especially qunari women, it seems.

I guess it should have been Qunari=no Varric, and Dwarves=no Iron Bull.
If Dorian doesn't want my Qunari D I'll be fuming

Didn't Gaider confirm there absolutely were race gates? Like he mentioned gating by sex and race were both things in game when he was talking about characters sexuality.

What is this about 2h swords? I don't get it.

I want to be a warrior, Although I do not want to go weapon/shield combo, as I think it feels weird.
don't you just love guessing games? xD I'm hoping that we don't have too many romances...8 is too much. I never played the mass effect series (and i know the DAteam and them are different) but supposedly in one of the games there were alot of romance options, and because of this you could only talk to your companion two times?? uhhh...yeeeah no. I think they said their resources were short, but I don't want that happening in muh dragon age.
Ironbull and Varric will be race gated since they are bringing back races in this game x] they might as well award the dwarf and qunari race, but for the guys who are'nt into other guys xD i'm sorry.
Varric- dwarves only, straight
Ironbull- Qunari only, goes both ways
Dorian- all races, gay
remember, we'll have at least two options regardless of our genders ;] the people above are special as in gender specific and race. If you're gonna play a female inquisitor..
Solas- all races, bi
Cullen- all races, (?) I don't know his orientation.. the people at Bioware know that he has a male audience as well, so they might make him bi. but, we don't have a straight choice so Cullen might be that guy.
I don't think Blackwall will be a option because he seems like our wynne. Cole is a no, so he'll be a lookie but no touchie.
for the gentlemen Inquisitors
I hiiighly doubt the lovely Vivienne will be a romance. She seems really into herself lolol
Sera- all races, gay
Unless there's a secret companion, these will be the romances for the guyquisitor
Cassandra- all races, straight
Scribbles- all races, bi
at least two options per gender..so Cassandra and Scribbles, Cullen and Solas
this is my guess

Yeah, fairly certain he did, at that. He also stated that not every romance was race gated and that there wouldn't necessarily be equal distribution of love interests for every race/gender combination. The info's actually given by Caja on page 3 of this thread, already. http://forum.bioware...ons/?p=16767393
Also, David Gaider's comment about some romance options being unavailable, "either by way of gender or race, which are both possibilities in DAI" seemed pretty concrete. http://forum.bioware...are/?p=16742819
I guess it should have been Qunari=no Varric, and Dwarves=no Iron Bull.
I'm trying to think whether or not Varric would be into elves. Maybe? But I do think it would makes sense from a development standpoint to have Varric and the Iron Bull have complementary restrictions. That said, does that mean they both share a sexuality? Or is the Iron Bull still bisexual and Varric straight?
I really, really hope that the "race-gating" isn't restricted only to dwarves and qunari because of animation concerns. That would kind of suck.
My guesses to sexual orientations at this point:
* Cassandra - straight or bisexual
* Sera - lesbian
* Vivienne - ? (I'm not sure if she'll be an LI)
* Dorian - gay
* Iron Bull - bisexual
* Solas - straight or bisexual
* Blackwall - straight (I'm not sure if he'll be an LI)
* Varric - straight (I doubt he'll be an LI)
* Cole - n/a (given that he's a fade spirit and has the mind of a child)
* Cullen - straight or bisexual
* Leliana - bisexual (not an LI)
* Scribe Girl - straight or bisexual
I guess it should have been Qunari=no Varric, and Dwarves=no Iron Bull.
That's what I thought of when I first heard about race gating. No 1 race only LIs. Just 1 race can't romance them on account of the massive height difference.
So long as no race or gender is locked to one option I don't mind, my main concern is Dorian but I have to choose between IB and let's say Cullen then so be it I guess
.
I doubt that the Qunari will only have IB though, seeing as that would mean every single male Qunari player will have to be gay.

Notice the phrase by gender OR race, not necessarily both.

He says "which are both possibilities in DAI". I'd say that means "both".
I predict Solas will be straight or bisexual to because I doubt they are going to have two homosexual elf companions. Iron Bull is implied to be bisexual and Blackwall doesn't seem to be a romance (perhaps rightly so, lest we have a repeat of Thane), so I predict Dorian to be *the* gay male.
There is apparenty confirmation of racegating so I expect Iron Bull to be romanceable by humans and qunari.
I doubt he is a romance but if Varric is an option then humans may be off the table possibly considering what he says in DA2.

Still does not mean that both WILL happen on the same character. Just because Sera is a lesbian means nothing about her being race-gated.
Until they give more details about this, we have to assume that they will be for all races until we can eliminate.

That's true. They'll both happen, though, at some point in the game. Whether on the same characters, I guess, that is up for debate, and that's what this topic seems to be about ![]()
I want to be a warrior, Although I do not want to go weapon/shield combo, as I think it feels weird.
And I don't see how the 2h sword thing comes in with an elf. Are you worried that they would put a racial restrictions on weapon styles?
The only racial restriction for the classes is that dwarves can't be mages.
So many people are saying that Dorian will be gay only. So SAD!

So can we stop with the race-gating characters in the sexual orientation? All I know:
