Now I'm really starting to think I want to romance him with something other than a Qunari.... I wasn't expecting him to not be gated.

Also, I think this officially kills the "qunari/dwarf can't happen" rumors, which I'm happy about.

It's possible, but I have real doubts that Cassandra, Dorian, Cullen, or Sera are racegated. Being heterosexual or homosexual, also being racegated would limit how many people could experience that content.

 

That's what I think too, but remember they said they were focusing on character reasons for someone to be race-gated. And Cullen at least has said some racist things in the past, so... not impossible. But yeah, I feel like our odds are pretty good.

From romance thread:

Iron Bull WAS going to be race gated. John Epler worked super hard to make it work cinematically so that he wouldn't have to be.

That's interesting, I wonder if that means anything for Varric?

Oddly, I'm finding I'm more relieved for myself than not the IB is a romance. At least I can do one straight romance that I'd find interesting (admittidley because he's a Qunari and no other reason)

 

STILL, plz Varric.

Given his interview comments about not wanting to be seen as just an elf, I seriously doubt he's race-gated. Solas, I mean.

 

... But yeah, we don't know who is or isn't race-gated, do we? Iron Bull and Josephine aren't. I think everyone else is up for grabs. So you're right, still not guaranteed.

This is my predictions:

 

Solas--Lives half in a dream, rather focused about his work.  Plus, a good chance to break the "all elves are romances" BioWare tradition.

 

Blackwall--Probably down to flirt, but will likely reject further advances in order to avoid breaking the Quizzy's heart.

 

Vivienne--Doesn't mind if it's a lady or a lad, but will probably not want to romance elves, and possibly Qunari.  Their views on mages are a *touch* extreme and I can see Vivi having a prejudice based on that.

 

Varric-Dwarf and elven ladies.  I still think he's going to be straight, if he's a LI.  I would rather he be available to both genders, but that's my hunch.

If Cullen is race gated because racism, that will only increase my beef with him. And I really don't want to dislike him anymore!

I actually kinda suspect that Vivienne will be human-only. She's a political figure in a really racist society, wouldn't surprise me if she feels like she has to bend to the rules. Varric... I've got no idea at this point. Agree with Solas and Blackwall.

I have a strong hunch for Varric over Solas, but that may be my personal bias. I agree with what Nat said about it breaking the chain of all elves being romancable, and that would be good.

I would feel the same way to tbh. At least we know from the origins he would like human and elf

Wait... when did he say something racist? Not that I'm doubting you, I just never noticed!

I only got it second-hand myself. Apparently if you bring Oghren with you into the tower in DAO, he says some rather unfortunate things about dwarves.

 

Edit: Note I'm just mentioning the possibility, no idea if it'll come back up.

In the broken circle quest he lashed out and called you a "cave dwelling heathen" or something like that if you were a dwarf.

I think it had to do with dwarves.

 

Edit;

While I play dwarves a lot, I don't really remember much of Cullen in DA:O . He didn't make much an impression ^^;;

And break the chain or no romanceable dwarves. They could break all the rules!!!!

I hope so too, Cullen breaking free from his prejudice would make a great story.

Welp... someone already ruined the Iron Bull thread for me by calling him a "slutty manwhore", because he's bisexual. My buzz is gone. Staying in here with my Varric peeps.

Something I should mention, I've been assuming Vivienne was human only and Iron Bull was human or qunari only, because 1) I figured all the race-locked characters were bi, and 2) I figured all the race-locked characters were available for humans. Unless Varric is bi and only locked for qunari, one of those rules is now wrong. So who knows what'll happen?

There is chaos in the boards right now. I hope they give the last two names and we can have parties in almost all of the boards, and give sympathy to the sad ones :(
