Aurgh, I just don't know... do they think this is a good idea marketing-wise? I think the general and more casual fanbase is pretty indifferent, while we all obviously really want it, so I don't see the appeal of keeping it a mystery.
Yeah, especially since the more casual BW game players don't even tend to partake in romance, is that right? Or was that something I dreamt?
Consider that Gaider also said that he would be surprised if we didnt know until launch.
Sheryl seems to like to troll people anyway. If you take everything she says seriously, then we should all close up shop now, because Blackwall is the next romance option. Or more accurately, "The gravy on your rumproast" or some such non-sense.
-joins you-I saw...s'cuse me just gonna, I gotta... *walks outside*

True Theo true, I have to say I do love your optimism 
Whoa, what's going on in here? Why's everyone sad all of a sudden?

Optimism is...not a word i would associate with myself.
If anything im cynical as hell whenever the devs say things.
SpoilerI really really really hope that this is just some advanced trolling by the marketing department. What could they gain by this?
Just angry fans. Who will still buy the game but I'm sure they'd prefer happy fans to pissed off fans.

People are concerned that information regarding the last two romance options will not be released until launch because of something Sheryl Chee said.
Personally, i think she was trolling.

Hmm, do you know where I can find the exact quote? I'd like to take a look at it.

It's in the Blackwall thread.

yeah.
Just go to the Blackwall thread and hit the "show only Bioware posts" button.
Last thing said on that list.
That should give you some context too.

Bare in mind, a lot of the characters were compared to food. Mary Kirby describes Varric as "beef bourguignon."

For me it's because this comment was made after we found out the marketing team wanted the last two to be a "mystery".

He forgot to add, "Served to you on a shag carpet".

Me too, I've assumed that they would reveal the LI's prior to launch. I guess I should have learned by now not to assume anything in regards to Bioware and their marketing.

I still think we will find out soon enough. If they couldnt keep a Garrus and Tali romance quiet, they wont be able to keep these two quiet.

Okay, I saw it and I agree with this statement. Well, looks like we probably find out till launch. 
Oddly though, I feel a little better even though that seems so far away. Probably because we now have a date in which we'll probably know.

Exactly, yet right now you're the most optimistic of us all 
I don't think they're keeping it a secret till launch to retain mystery as they call it, I have a feeling they're doing it to retain a ton of 'unequal options' and 'Bioware hates *insert relevant group here*' threads and basically feeling like they're upsetting people before launch as I'm almost positive that the remaining two LI's and the revelation of race gating is not going to make LI options seem fair.
A lot of people are pretty sure Viv will be an LI, but I'm pretty certain she won't be (you can see my previous posts as to why), and that only one will be bi. Or maybe it's another crazy theory, either way it won't be fair one way or another.
I think they're afraid the forums will burn with angry posts and other places are going to pick up on it and put people off the game.
DG last week posted quite a lot trying to explain about 'equality' and the reasoning behind LI's I think to soften the blow of some people who are going to feel like they have a lack of choices, but, well, the romance thread was pretty full of hard headed individuals that still didn't quite understand what he was saying.
All in all, it being kept secret till launch doesn't surprise me, even though it does sadden and frustrate me!
You're probably right, I've been getting the same vibe from the devs. Of course I would prefer it if everyone got equal options, but there's a real possibility that this won't be the case.
IF we won't find out until launch, then I guess this will be the only good thing with us Europeans getting the game a few days later. We will be able to navigate through the spoiler fields and find the romance info in time for our first quizzys.
I'm going to comfort eat.

Erm, once I get off work, that is.

Yeah good point. American guys, we have a favour to ask you, if Varric is an LI can you say so here and be happy but not spoil any of the story? That would make it sooo much easier for us European guys 
...we can just come here and find out.
