HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO US
WHAT DID WE EVER DO BESIDES BE UNICORNS

I thought we were BEEs?

[TanithAeyrs]

I'm still out of likes (arggh)
@ninetozero - excellent point (Zev approves +100)

Attraction is a funny thing, there is good evidence that in the real world people tend to chose mates who are like them (race, education, beliefs, ect). Although this is not fair (and does seem to be slowly changing - at least in the developed world) it seems logical that created characters would have the same innate attraction to those like them. The writers go out of their way to create characters who can overcome those biases. However, I have no problem if they also create characters who adhere to them, either through a conscious decision or a cultural bias. It makes them more real and complex.

I am sorry for those who do not get the romance they want, but that is what fanfic and head canon are for. Head canon is a lovely thing and it is not unreasonable to play the character you want and head canon the rest. If Solas had not been romanceable, or had not been romanceable by a female Dalish elf (and maybe he isn't - maybe he is only attracted to men), I would have romanced another character, left my PC celibate, or created a head canon with the romance I wanted completed after the end of the game.

So, assuming Vivienne is the last LI...if Epler hadn't been able to crank out those Iron Bull cutscenes so he wouldn't be racegated, who the **** would have been the non-Dorian/Cullen choice for gay male/straight female dwarves?

 

This would make Blackwall as LI seem more likely, wouldn't it?

[Dr. Doctor]

Guys I am sad. 
 
It's going to take me a bit to accept this, I think. Though it does make me interested in his story reasons. Perhaps Solas is more of  a hypocrite than we thought? I'd love if he had a big flaw like that. The open-minded character who can be closed-minded when it comes to some things.

Everybody has preferences, kind of like how Varric is really only into dwarves. It's not that he's closed-minded, it's just what he's attracted to. It might also be that he hadn't really thought of having a relationship, what with being a hermit and all.

Good point.

 

Edit: Actually I think they said dwarves would've only had one option. That's why they made sure IB would be ungated. But that gives me hope that Cullen won't be gated!

[lannohs]

I'm happy that Solas has been (kinda) confirmed as a LI although it is a bit rubbish that he is elf only.
I had only planned to romance him with my Dalish mage but I wish he was available to all races so that no one would be disappointed.

[revan11exile]

great news sad about him being race gated i though it would be Viv

There is still one race-gated romance left.

[DragonRacer]

I thought we were BEEs?

 

We are, but we also became unicorns when David Gaider came in and saw a giant lovefest we were having of tolerance, acceptance, and open-mindedness, and he wondered if he had accidentally stepped into Narnia and if we were unicorns. LOL

 

 

 

 

 

This would make Blackwall as LI seem more likely, wouldn't it?

 

 

That's where my brain went as well. If that is the case, one of my girl friends will literally lose her mind with happiness. She already has her beloved Cullen; if she gets Blackwall, too... my ears may burst. LOL

Actually we don't know if Varric is only into Dwarves, considering he's only into Bianca. I think perhaps Varric is demisexual, basically one person only forever.

[mindoirs]

Wish they'd say SOMETHING.

 

The disappointment has mostly passed and the last thing I want to do is make it seem to the devs like I'm ungrateful. At the end of the day, he's romanceable. Like, just think of kissing him and patting his bald head and hugging him and sleeping and dreaming with him.

 

I have faith that there is a good reason for this and that PW had a specific story in mind with Solas.

 

I'VE THIRSTED FOR THIS ELF FOR FAR TOO LONG

I AM GOING TO SEE IT THROUGH UNTIL THE END

[LadyKarrakaz]

*snip*

 

Ah I didn't mean that not liking non-elves makes him a hypocrite, just that it might suggest that there's more to him than shades of grey. As in it's possible that he's not as grey area as we thought. I actually wasn't intending to connect the two quite as much as I made it sound like I was haha.

 

No problem. I just wish they tell us who he will romance or not, and be done with it. Trust me, I'm both happy and sad for all the disappointed people.

 

 

And yet, I'm still oddly happy Thanks devs for the Elven romance.

 

[RynJ]

So...

 

can we safely assume that Solas was Weekes's "sweetie" now? Wasn't he playing an elf during those tweets? 

[Roxy]

Well, the race gate came as a shock and on top of that we don't know whether his straight/gay/bi/other.

 

No I can understand that but we've been hoping for so long to know if he is an LI...and believe me I WANT to know what gender he goes for too. I'm just happy they have pretty much confirmed he is an LI.

[Phate Phoenix]

OKAY THAT'S IT I'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH

Oh I hope so! Someone should ask

I though so already. xD Wasn't he playing a female Elf? So he's definitely for the ladies and most likely for men too.

[Tamyn]

Good grief I thought everybody in here would be dancing for joy?  I guess I can understand in a way I am a bit disapointed my female human will not be able to have Solas but I can live with that.

 

 

I am happy, but I already knew he would be a romance (just didn't know about the gate).

 

 

Relevant art by me:

 

Spoiler

 

[coldwetn0se]

If he is Bi, then I would doubt propagation has any relevance whatsoever, to his story-reasons for being "race-gated". (and I do hope he is Bi.... ). As for the Somniari stuff, Tevinter Magisters of old, were sometimes born as Somniari, and Feynriel is human with elf blood (through mother), so I doubt that would have anything to do with his gating as well (if he was a female only LI). *plus the fact that he has never been confirmed Somniari*

Guess we will see in two+ months.

[Solaria]

Great news on Solas being a LI and hugs from the Varric thread on him being gated to only one race.

 

[mindoirs]

someone should ask him on twitter omg "so with mark darrah's confirmation...was solas your sweetie this entire time, indeed?"

 

too shy to do it

[Nika]

OKAY THAT'S IT I'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH

AWWW YEAH

 

 

[sandalisthemaker]

I think it is because people have been burned for getting their hopes up with the LI reveals so far, due to the horrible way they've been revealed.

 

This isn't DA2 anymore, so there are way too many variables to keep everyone happy even if he has just been confirmed romanceable.  

 

The elf only thing is going to sting enough as is.  But if he is also straight because he wants elven baybays then that's the deal breaker for me.
