Ok..I've been reading up and with every tweet I was all like, "Stay calm." I mean, everything was great. Until...
"You won't be disappointed."
Trying not to freak out but, LI or not, I'm in the corner like..

The thing is though is that Iron Bull was going to be gated as well, I doubt Bioware were going to gate both Cullen and Iron Bull as female Inquisitors are kinda getting screwed over that way. My money is on Sera or Cullen though, as well as Vivienne who is practically confirmed.
With 3 being race gated someone was always kind of getting screwed in comparison to someone else, though. That's likely part of why they made it a priority to get rid of those gates. They said before, though, that making sure distribution of races was even was a low priority in comparison to gender/sexuality.
Really wish 'Romance' thread would re-open ![]()

They should have known the character threads would just become romance threads. lol
^ I guess you could message Allan asking for it to be re-opened if you wanted to, explaining your reasoning for this request which would be that those tweets of David's and tweets of Gareth DL's provided more fuel for discussion, which is probably bubbling up to off-topic levels in some character threads.

No offense but that place was a minefield. Better they open it after the last two LI are confirmed. Just my opinion ![]()

Oh god, I agree. It would have turned ugly super fast today. People are more civilized in the character threads. ![]()
I don't think the normal dwarven relationship to the Fade would be enough to preclude romance with Solas. Anyone can get into the Fade if assisted by a mage and Solas has a particularly strong connection. Besides the green glowy hand would suggest at least some sort of nominal connection with the Fade even for those races like dwarves and qunari who are not naturally drawn to it.
Congratulations and thanks to all those who tweeted - I'm not comfortable with tweeting myself but really grateful for your efforts because you seem to have got such
interesting and informative answers. I really can't wait to meet Solas.
Suppose in the end it will be -
Cassandra - All male races = Straight Male +1
Josephine - Both genders and all races = Straight Male +2 and Gay Female +1
Vivienne - Both genders but only humans and maybe elves = Straight Male +3 and Gay Female +2
Sera - All female races = Gay Female +3
Cullen - Only females and only humans as well as maybe elves = Straight Female +1
Iron Bull - Both genders and all races = Straight Female +2 and Gay Male +1
Solas - Both genders and all races = Straight Female +3 and Gay Male +2
Dorian - All male races = Gay Male +3
This seems all a bit too perfect yet also probable, all the characters who aren't important leaders in human society are therefore not race-gated.
P.S. Sorry, but there was no where else to post this
If Solas DOES wind up being a confirmed LI, I don't care what gender or race I need to play for it. ![]()
I must say, first playthrough going for Cullen lookin' a little shaky right now...
A lot shaky, really. ![]()
Lol wow, that got hella misunderstood. That was me and actually I asked David if Iron Bull had been one of the 2 race-gated LIs (and thus there was only one now), or if he had been a third (and thus there were still 2 LIs who are race-gated). He confirmed that Iron Bull had been one of 3 and now there were still 2.
He said nothing about whether they were among the announced or the un-announced LIs, and I never claimed that he said that. Someone must have misunderstood my initial post and assumed that "there are still 2 race-gated LIs" meant "there are still 2 race-gated LIs that haven't been announced as LIs".
Hmm. The bolded is likely what happened with me then. I can barely keep up with that thread on a good day; let alone with multiple conversations going on. Thanks for clearing things up.

It's fine. Feel free to post your predictions. After all technically it is on topic considering you are mentioning Solas ![]()

I admire the Solas fans' adeptness at picking appropriate gifs.
Man, if, when it all plays out, I have the option to m/m romance Dorian, Iron Bull OR Solas, I have even less certainty of who I'm gonna chose for my first playthrough. THIS IS SO NOVEL. Actually having a variety of choices. WOW. This is cool. Wow. Thanks Bioware. ![]()

This is the assortment I'm guessing right now, Solas and Viv as remaining bi options with Viv and Cullen being gated. I'm less sure about Cullen, but I think this will probably be the LIs we'll get.

If Dorian and Solas are m/m options it will be the first time ever that I'm really excited about TWO different LI options. I've only ever romanced one person in all plays of a game. This would be an awesome first for me. ![]()
I'm yet to know anything core about Solas, I know he's knowledgeable about the fade but that's pretty much it. Unfortunately he's an apostate so II'll likely not romance him, I'm currently set on Iron-Bull but that may change like I have done almost every-time in the past lol.
Just heard the VA said something iiiinteresting today.
So excited.

So excited.
It's a very exciting time to be a Solassian.
(We should really remember that there has been no official confirmation, though, and we need to at least keep that in the backs of our minds. Still--WOO!)
About Indira Varma: (since a lot of you have been discussing this and I'd have a whole mess of things to quote)
I'm leaning towards Josephine only because of her role in Game of Thrones and her appearance. Yes, appearance is weak when it comes to using it in an argument, but I look back to Gwendoline Christie and who we've debated she is voicing. After seeing the concept art released for Empress Celene in DA:I, I also am leaning towards her voicing the Empress.
About Solas being a LI: (Since that has been the talk of the town)
I'm still holding my breath on that. It isn't so until it gets the devs stamp of approval. So a huge 'oh my glob' will be saved for later. Buuuuttttt, I won't lie in saying I'm a bit hopeful. I'm glad a lot of you participated in this Q&A session, so much revealed and I nearly slept through the whole ordeal!
Whew... finally caught up!
I really want to hold back my excitement right now but at the same time I want to jump around in excitement! ![]()
Going to do my best to keep my hopes down though... I already got some of my hopes dashed before thanks to Super Smash Bros disconfirming few of my wanted characters and it still hurts. So in effect, I'm in full caution mode for anything right now. ![]()
I AM SO LATE TO THE PARTY BUT I JUST
WOW

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY AHHHHHHH
Actually, you know, as much as I want equal options for everyone I'm kind of hoping that Varric is the last LI spot because they are all so sweet and I just hate seeing them so upset over there ; ; man I had no idea that he would actually respond to those questions and pull a pseudo Greg Ellis today! It's not a hard confirmation of course, but wow my hopes are sky high now
Omg just skimmed a million pages and you guys are THE BEST OMG. Holy **** I'm fangirling SO HARD right now... Please be real, oh please be real...
I've been playing ME2 for the first time and just had to deal with
SO YAY! This helps take away the sting!
