For da manly!Inq's:
As someone who mainly rolls females (when given the choice) my 'hope' romances are Solas as top choice, then Cullen and unlikely but fingers crossed, Varric for a female dwarf. Then maybe Sera and Iron Bull last. (sorry Iron Bull fans, his voice actor may get me to change my mind
)
Dorian and Cass may get me to play a male inquisitor, or rather finish a male inquisitor play through.
My LI choices in order Dorian > Solas > Cullen.
But I worry neither Solas or Cullen will be available for m/m, which means Dorian will be the LI for all my Inquisitors.

Sorry
I have a feeling the LIs I want the most won't be available to the Inquisitor I want to play first (female mage), but I used to be enamored of Cullen so I'm trying to get really excited about that again. You know what would solve all of the world's problems? Bisexual LI Solas. World peace, BAM.
I want Solas for my fem mage Inquisitor and then if I can't have him I guess either Cullen or Iron Bull. I'm growing to like Iron Bull a lot and I always thought Cullen was cute so I guess it isn't TOO bad. Solas is just so far above them on the list, though haha!
It's like:
Solas
Iron Bull
Cullen
Sera

I have a good friend who is really interested in a Solas m/m romance, so for your guys' sake I hope he's one of the bisexual options. I wish they would just announce them now
Hopefully at GaymerX we'll get more info at least on the bi options..
I got a good laugh earlier (in my car alone
) thinking about Solas' age. 600 year old ancient elf LI? YES PLEASE! 40 year old bad ass elf LI? Well, maybe...
Sooo.. I was planning on going to bed because you know, timezones.. blegh.. and then I came across these two wonderful things...
So I'll just leave these here... *sneaks off to bed for realsies this time*
You're living in a fantasy world, my friend. A beautiful, beautiful fantasy world
LOL I'm not, I figured the forums would have exploded, imploded, and burned to the ground from the flames of love and jealousy if they both had been suddenly confirmed without everyone being sorted out at once. heh
I wish... They did put up a Leliana interview, unfortunately I'm on my phone so I can't grab a link. And we found out Solas is in his early to mid- forties.
Is it weird that actually makes me want to romance him more? Urrgh... The wait to find out whether he's romancable is going to kill me...
Also, I don't think his age is any indicator of him not being an LI. Cass is about 40, Cullen is likely at least 35, and remember Bioware did promise more mature romances this time around.
I'mma have to pop over there and read that. -The age thing I know. ^.^ I was the one who asked.
No, no it is not. I've dated more than one man in his forties and I'm only in my 30's, so it'll be nice not to feel like I'm robbing the cradle if Solas is a romance. It's actually one of the few attractive points to giving the Cullen romance a go, to me. And AGREED. I just REALLY want to know so that I can squee or move on.
Indeed they did. I hope they meant mature as in aged. That is actually JUST the sort of bait and switch they would pull too! "Romances will be more mature." *Fandom assumes nude sex scenes* Reality: Older LIs
Mwahaha!

How I wish I could like this more than once

If Solas is a LI, I bet he's bi, and if he's a LI but not bi, I suspect that means Cullen is.
That said, of the potential LI, I think either Cullen or Blackwall are the most likely to be the straight male characters.

Mwahaha!
Is the definition of mature meant to be more boobies and underwear sex scenes? I sort of assumed it meant the love interests acted like grown ups and didn't need you to wipe their noses or fix their boo-boo's. Also they put the toilet seat down and placed dirty dishes in the sink. ![]()

I had taken it to mean a lack of wacky emotional drama. (But Fandom in general tends to take everything as relating to sex.)
I must say, after reading Solas' interview I haven't been really interested in anyone else, at least for my first playthrough (damn it Solas!
) . I may change my mind though, maybe even before the game release.
Anyways, in order it'd be something like this: Solas>Dorian>Blackwall/Cassandra>Iron Bull>Sera. I've never been a fan of Cullen, so I'm not interested in his romance. LI or not I don't know what to think about Vivienne yet (she is written by Mary Kirby, who also wrote Sten and Loghain, two of my favorite Bioware characters ever, who are also very... morally ambiguous, yet not unreasonable, so despite me being very pro-mages, I'm looking forward to hearing her points of view), and I see Varric more as a bro than a potential LI. Cole as well.
But who knows, I can't really say until we know more about them all.
I decided that I wouldn't plan out anything, in terms of who to romance and so on (at least in my blind first run), but will instead just let whatever happens happen. The one thing I am dead set on is that I will acquire Cole and make him my surrogate little brother.

yeah i'm thinking the same. I love to plan stuff in my third or second playthrough, but the first one I'll just go with the flow and what seems right at the time ![]()

Haha, yeah. It never even occurred to me it might relate to the sex scenes until a whole bunch of threads popped up assuming it was so. Granted, I've got pretty filthy mind, but reading all that made me feel prudish and old, since my first assumptions were emotional maturity, or that the characters were a bit older/more grounded.

Yea I edited my post a few times because I had not really prepared for a romance outside of Cass. So instead I agree with you on going blind (mostly). I will try out whatever romances interest me, but for now because we do not know exactly have set details as to who the others outside of Dorian and Sera will be available to romance anyways I will just wait and see and just focus on the characters themselves.
btw Cole is going to be sticking with me a great portion of the game I feel. I cannot wait to get to know him more. ![]()
@PatrickWeekes @dragonage Here's to hoping our Inquisitor can join in on those! It'd be nice to be able to canonically play someone my age!
@Cat_Lance @dragonage In CharGen today, you could make a nicely mature face, and I don't believe we ever dictate your age specifically. ![]()
I followed up asking about if it's just left open or acknowledged. We'll see if I get a response
*Edit, he was fast!!
@Cat_Lance @dragonage Your Inquisitor's background assumes adulthood. That's it. ![]()
@Cat_Lance @dragonage Unless someone has put in age references I totally missed (very possible), your age is whatever you want it to be.
*edit again, there, that looks better, not so huge.

Thank you all, Solas Thread is forever the best thread.

*Squish hugs.*
We got a magnificent group here, I wouldn't trade these folk for the world.
*hugs* I'm sorry to hear about your little guy. It's never easy losing pets or people.
I'll put mine closer to my own age so I can join Solas and Blackwall in their conversations about younguns and shake my walking stick at them, but age sliders? Pah, I look a lot younger than I am
I'm hoping to be able to do that too. And, indeed. It never feels right to add wrinkles to make my character "look my age" when I don't have them and I am my age.
Well, I don't know if he's on his twenties, but he has an angsty son we'll deal with. His name is Cole. And we are adopting him.
Damn Straight. My Happy Fade Family.
*edit, just thought: HFF is one wo/man short of a team. Who do you think will make a good Uncle/Auntie to Cole? Cass? Varric? Should I toss this into twitter and push my luck on having Patrick's forebearance today? lol
So glad that Patrick answered that question. In all honesty I really like the idea of headcannoning my Inquisitor's age. ![]()
Edit: I think we should make Varric Cole's uncle. He is really good with people.

I'm thinking of rolling with Blackwall because GWs are pretty tolerant of oddities (i.e. Cole), as long as they can get the job done. It would also make one companion of each class. (Also I like having a flock of digital men following me around
)

I really really wanna make Varric Cole's uncle, and bring him along with Solas and Cole. Solas and Cole would be enthusiastically talking about magic and theology, and then Varric would interject to make sure the two absent minded idjits are taking care of themselves, in his own snarky way (cause that's what Varric does). But my first Inquisitor is going to be an artificer rogue, and unless I can spec Cole to dodge tank we're gonna have some problems.

Yea that's what I was thinking. Also in DA: 2 Varric also proves that he would make a good uncle. He watched out for some of the companions especially Merrill by paying off the guards and giving her the ball of twine for when she got lost.
