Part of me dies a little bit every time someone says Dorian will be s/s male only.

[daveliam]

Why would Cullen and Cass be the same?

 

I'm assuming it's because once, twenty years ago, Cass gave a guy a kiss on the cheek and then fifteen years ago Cullen might have gotten flustered when talking to a girl in the Ferelden Circle.

But how could you doubt this overwhelming proof of their heterosexuality?!

Why? Dragon Age is long overdue for a gay male character (that isn't Wade or Herren).

Yes, Let them strive and have Dorian a S/S gay romance! -stamp of approval-

[Finnn62]

Um… this is probably a bit late to ask this, but what do the S's in S/S romance stand for? I just realized I don't actually know. Same sex?

Yeah, Same Sex romance.

How about Solas, Blackwell or IB, humm?

[karushna5]

Blackwell- In my book, he and Solas are competing for the Male straight companion. (They could be competeing for gay but who knows) And if any of these characters have a son who needs to be saved from the dark side, I mean becoming an assassin, I mean sad widower, he does fit the bill. Bioware also may not pursue the handsome widower trope, and Blackwell gives me the feeling of being very over that. But then that picture in the rain might mean he actually is a romance option. If he is straight, probably alright with all races due to there only being so much cut content for someone to be viable.

 

Cassandra- Due to Sera's illegibility and that she seems to be a major NPC, I believe Cassandra will be Straight, BUT available to all races so (Qunari, Dwarf, Elf, Human) In fact, it makes little sense for there to be gating based on sexuality and race. Too much content available for only a fraction of players. Exclusive characters will probably be available for all races, or nearly all.

 

Cole- Confirmed not romanceable

 

Cullen- An NPC romance will probably open more options up and be less restrictive so i believe he is Bi. (Also I think there will only be one restrictive Gay and Straight of each gender and i doubt the restricted to straight man will be the NPC). He is confirmed a romance and I believe available to both. As far as races? i have absolutely no idea. Definitely elf and Human.(I mean he was attracted to a Surana just as much as an Amell) dwarf or Qunari, I have no clue.

 

Dorian- Dorian is romanceable, we all know it, he pings on the Bioware romanceable radar. Since Bi NPC belongs to Cullen, and Bi companion is Iron Bull, he is either straight or gay. Many people are leaning toward gay, who am I to deny the boys a good find. I am going to say gay. Since he is Specific, I think he will be available to all races.

 

Iron Bull- I mean his write up says he is bisexual, and that as long as he doesnt "break anyone" he is good, he has definitely been with humans so pretty sure he is not a Qunari only option. He may not be with elves and dwarves though. So (Qunari, Human) is a definite and other races up in the air.

 

Leliana- Confirmed not romanceable

 

Scribbles- Cullen confirmed, Scribbles seems likely to join him as a Bi NPC, as I said before the restricted romance is unlikely to be a follower. More likely the NPCs are Bi. That means they will also probably be race restricted. Looking at our other Bi options we have been looking at, it is hard to guess. She might be attracted to whoever is unbalanced.

 

Sera- Definitely a lesbian. Going by previous thought processes she will probably be available to all races.

 

Solas- Said before he or Blackwell are possibly the straight options. Little is known on Solas. But he has a large female audience who seem to really like him. Little is known, but he is someone who knows the fade which could mean he is very important. If he is available, likely available to all races because he is straight and thus you dont want to divide content too much.

 

Varric- Unless Varric has pushed Blackwell AND Solas out of the running for straight guy or somehow is an extra Dwarf option, I doubt he will come up. His writer hinted the legendary Bianca is alive which could mean we will be hooking him back up with her via Oghren/Felsi style except less guilty that you are setting her up for failure.

 

Vivienne- As the third woman in the group, she is either straight instead of Cassandra or the Bisexual option. She seems to appeal to both groups and I think will be a bisexual woman, but very hard to tell. many people seem to compare her to Morrigan, but i think where Morrigan was socially unaware, Vivienne will be hyper aware. Where Morrigan was very anti Chantry, Vivienne will be very for it, and i think they want very different versions of personal power. As a Bisexual woman, she will probably be gated to some races. Probably alright with Elves and humans, both being one and many elves in the circle. Also perhaps Qunari as well. Dwarves seem unlikely due to their complete alienation from magic, but who knows.

 

So that means I think

A Bi Girl Can Choose:

iron Bull, Scribbles, Vivienne, Cullen, Sera, and SolasORBlackwell

 

A Lesbian Can Choose:

Sera, Vivienne, and Scribbles

 

A Straight girl can Choose:

SolasORBlackwell, Iron Bull, and Cullen

 

A Bi Guy could Choose:

Vivienne, Cullen, Iron Bull, Scribbles, Cassandra, and Dorian

 

A Gay Guy can Choose

Cullen, Dorian, and iron Bull

 

A Straight Guy can Choose

Scribbles, Vivienne, and Cassandra

 

And no matter what race...

A Bi Woman can have:
Sera and Solas/Blackwall

 

A Lesbian:

Sera

 

A Straight Girl

Solas/Blackwall

 

A Bi Guy

Dorian and Cassandra

 

A Gay Guy

Dorian

 

And a Straight guy:

Cassandra

Ahhhh yes the "proof" how could I forget!! Actually I read that bullet point as Cass and Cullen have the same orientation, not they are both straight until the poster hears otherwise. My mistake

[Finnn62]

Yeah, Same Sex romance.

 

I asked that once too. Same sex.

 

Thanks guys. I had a feeling, but I'd never heard that particular form before; only m/m and f/f. 

[GVulture]

Becauuuuse then I can romance him my first PT instead of on a subsequent male Quizzy PT. Because oh yes... I will be getting that. Like others, I am just wanting to hit up my preferred LI with my preferred gender. Dorian and Cullen are the two that ping all kinds of buttons for me, so I am hoping that they're romancable by a ladee. That's all. If he isn't bi (because I don't want Dorian to be straight. I want everyone to be able to get some of that), I will deal. Just pining after that sweet Calrissean Freddie Mercury right now.

[Jewlie Ghoulie]

I'm happy with having Sera as a female only option. The only other romance I think (And this is just throwing it out there) I actually want is Varric. BUT, If he isn't an option so be it. I'm not one necessarily concerned or will be let down by who I don't get to romance.

[GVulture]

I didn't want to mention the Freddie Mercury thing. But now that you have, I will. That's literally why I thought he might be gay.

He is voiced by an Indian VA, looks like Lando and Freddie Mercury had a love baby, and just... UGH. that face. He is the pretty boy and I am gonna be sooooooo crying into my cheerios if he doesn't like my Lady Quizzy. (before I man up, literally, and roll a Han Solo esque rogue to smooch the crap out of him)

 

That said, he if Dorian IS a male s/s romance, I am looking forward to my own Male Quisitor playthrough.

 

I also want to romance Cullen, Blackwall, and Solas at one point. Just right now Dorian tops my list so I kinda want him available for my first (female) game.

[Red by Full Metal Jacket]

How about Solas, Blackwell or IB, humm?

 

Solas is probably bisexual or straight.  No way they would have the two elves as both s/s only. 

 

I don't think Blackwall is a LI at all.  Everything about him screams "Duncan 2.0".  He's also older, and Bioware tends to shy away from the older male types as LIs.

 

IB may be a Kelly Chambers like fling for males and females.  He's probably gated to Qunari-only because of technical reasons so less resources may be given.

They might. If it was something they didn't think about.

 

I fear you may be right about Blackwall though... I fear my heart may be broken by yet another Canderous/Zaaed/Sagacious type. GDI. Though I have a tiny sliver of hope since they lost his grey streaks. Maybe they gave him a dye job so younger types wouldn't be all, "EW! HE'S OLD!" Though after Dorian, I think he has the highest chance to be a m/m LI.

 

Again, wouldn't be surprised if IB was Qunari/Human only.

[falloutx]

Same happens to me when I hear Cassandra is straight.

[daveliam]

So someone recently mentioned a theory that got me thinking.  They said that they thought that there would be more LI's than ever before because the devs took the extended dev time to add in a few "extra" romances and that those romances might be the "race-gated" ones.  So I started thinking, "who would have been the "original" LI's and who would have been added in after the fact?"  I came up with this:

 

Cassandra - straight - any race

Solas - straight - any race

 

Cullen - bisexual - any race

Scribe Girl - bisexual - any race

 

Sera - gay - any race

Dorian - gay - any race

 

These could have been the "original" romances.  This way, everyone gets one companion and one NPC (no race gating).  Also, Solas and Dorian are interchangeable but I went with Dorian as gay because 1) I want him to be; 2) a ton of other gay guys want him to be; and 3) I don't see them doing two gay elves after three bisexual elves.  But it could be the other way around with Solas gay and Dorian straight.

 

Then, with the extended time, they could have added in extra romances:

 

Iron Bull - bisexual - human and qunari only (dwarves and elves will break)

Vivienne - bisexual - human and elf only (scandalous to be seen courting a dwarf or qunari)

Varric - bisexual - dwarf only (not into anything except dwarves)

 

This would bring the final LI's to:

 

Straight Human Male - Cassandra, Scribe Girl, Vivienne

Gay Human Male - Cullen, Dorian, Iron Bull

Straight Human Female - Cullen, Iron Bull, Solas

Gay Human Female - Scribe Girl, Sera, Vivienne

 

Straight Elf Male - Cassandra, Scribe Girl, Vivienne

Gay Elf Male - Cullen, Dorian

Straight Elf Female - Cullen, Solas

Gay Elf Female - Scribe Girl, Sera, Vivienne

 

Straight Dwarf Male - Cassandra, Scribe Girl

Gay Dwarf Male - Cullen, Dorian, Varric

Straight Dwarf Female - Cullen, Solas, Varric

Gay Dwarf Female - Scribe Girl, Sera

 

Straight Qunari Male - Cassandra, Scribe Girl

Gay Qunari Male - Cullen, Dorian, Iron Bull

Straight Qunari Female - Cullen, Iron Bull, Solas

Gay Qunari Female - Scribe Girl, Sera

 

This would give everyone just about the same number of options (either two or three) regardless of gender, sexuality, and race.  It also jives with the idea that there will be some combinations with less options and being able to encounter both gender and race gating possibilities, since Gaider hinted at both of them.

 

My initial thought was that 9 was too many, but if it was originally six, then they added in just a few "extra" (race-gated) romances for some combinations, it could make sense. 

 

Anyway, just my thought on a late Sunday night.

I still think Solas and Blackwell could be the gay option too, I just don't feel that the arguments given are strong enough to completely rule them out. Same with Cullen being straight.

Also along those lines.

 

Qunari as a playable race was added down the line of development.

 

So... chances of Qunari Inquisitors being race gated might've just gone up.

 We also know that Viv, Varic, and Cass were among the earliest companions to be completely fleshed out... to chances of them being bi goes up (if only because they might've decided to write all the LIs bi like DAII before going in another direction.

How do you figure Varric as bisexual?

[GVulture]

I still think Solas and Blackwell could be the gay option too, I just don't feel that the arguments given are strong enough to completely rule them out. Same with Cullen being straight.

Agreed. The only thing we can know for sure there about Cullen is that he had dirty thoughts about a female mage once. He never seemed to get over his unease with talking to women either... who knows... maybe we will find out that Cullen is more comfortable around guys.

 

And everytime says that Dorian looks like he'd be gay I just flash with images of all the gay men I know that look like Blackwall.
