Now does that mean it is untrue that he said that, or that it's untrue that the two remaining LIs are race-gated?
Yeah, could be taken two ways. I think the former is true, he wouldn't say anything on unannounced LIs.
It's every LI for themselves. (excluding Iron Bull and Josephine)
He appears to be saying that, of the two gated romances, at least one of them is an already-announced LI. That's how it's reading to me. "An odd thing for me to say, seeing as it's untrue." Is what makes me think that.
Just about what I was going to say.
@Pancheers dear david lioyd. If you're allowed to, can you please tell us wether Solas will be a love interest or not? Thank you
@EllaDelSol you will not be disappointed
OK THIS IS THE YEAR OF FELYA87 FANGIRLING LIKE A TWO YEARS OLD!!!IS OFFICIAL!!!
really!?!? first, after something like twelve or more years, PK returned, Odin Eidolon, and the reactivation of UNO... and now...this...I shouldn't read what I would like to read here...but...
I don't understand anything, I'm FANGIRLING!!!

That's how I read it, also. It seems like that's the context that would be usually used in that phrasing.
I'm glad you did! To be honest, I had some reservations about asking, since I worried EVERYONE would and he'd get annoyed... And we really didn't know whether he'd be up for answering a lot of Solas questions anyway. Have to say, I'm really impressed how he handled it... And we got an unofficial maybe (IhopeIhopeIhope) confirmation for Solas as LI. And that he's a badass. And that he really enjoyed the character and voice work. I am so over the moon right now! So needed this after the lack of info lately.
Subsequent tweets from David on the matter confused me further I'm afraid.
I almost wonder, have wondered for a while now, if race gating will be removed altogether.
Now does that mean it is untrue that he said that, or that it's untrue that the two remaining LIs are race-gated?
It's both, he did not say it.
It is not correct.
He also stated in another tweet that it does not mean that both the race-gated LI are already known.
*PERSONAL CONJECTURE*
I take it all to mean that, as there is only two, one will be from our known bracket and the other will be the last LI...

Yeah it doesn't make sense another way. If he'd said "an odd thing for them to say, seeing as it's untrue", that could be construed as saying that their claims of him stating anything about the remaining two LIs is untrue. Saying it the way he did makes me think that at least one of the LIs we already know is race-gated.
Subsequent tweets from David on the matter confused me further I'm afraid.
I think I know what you're talking about. What DG was saying there was that he had not said that both gated LI's were already among the already announced LI's, as was insinuated by another Tweeter.
Thanks for the feedback re: the query I posted a few mins ago btw. OP updated with the GDL Twitter QA news.

Agreed, that's how I've read it.
I know logically that there's been no confirmation of anything, and honestly, "you will not be disappointed" I personally read as "you won't be disappointed in the character no matter what happens," but still.
I can't help it.
I swear when I first came into this thread I didn't care one way or the other, but you guys influenced me.
If one of the gender gated characters is also race gated I think it's Cullen. He might be not available to dwarfs, so female dwarfs will get Varric instead : /
I like your thinking 
.
I'm not making assumptions any more.

Now I'm tempted to make a Kreia-like remark about this.
We are a.....semi-good influence. **shifty eyes**

Yeah, that's how I saw it. Then I was confused by his response, but I realized the person had said both would be people we already knew, which isn't what he said. It could still be two we already know, but I'm guessing that one of the remaining will be gated and one will not. (Not saying he said that, it's just my guess.)
Solas and Viv' are blatantly the remaining romances, I just wonder if either will be straight, at least one is surely bi.

I'm really hopeful they did plan equal options for everyone with Solas and Viv as bi options. They have an obvious chance to with 8 LIs. I really hope it turns out that way.

I admit it took me a minute, but then I was like
I will stop posting gifs someday...
*Amendment to my previous post*
It absolutely could mean that there is still a race-gated romance in the last two unannounced LI's (and Viv, could very well have story related reasons to not have a romance with a specific type of Inquisitor). I just firmly suspect that at least one of the original announced LI's (minus IB/Jo) is race gated.
My .02.
I think one of the unrealeased and one of the released LIs will be race gated, too. I'm guessing Viv will be race gated for "scandal" reasons and Solas will be an ungated romance, but probably either Cullen or Dorian is gated.
The race-gates are likely Vivienne and Cullen, I can't see it being the homosexual characters and both Iron Bull and Josephine are pretty much confirmed to have no preference what-so-ever. That leaves Cullen, unfortunately
