But, if Cullen holds the same Mage issue he did in 2 and Origins, I wouldn't be surprised if he was class gated
On a Varric related note, currently playing da2 reminds me of how perfect he is
Call me evil but it would be kind of funny if Cullen ended up race/class gated instead of Varric.
If Varric is announced as the bi, no race gated romance I would be in shock for who knows how long ![]()
Don't get me wrong! I don't wish it or anything . I wanted the Cullenites to have a bi Cullen, even.

If you read Cullen's blurb, they talk about the fact he's seen the worst of both worlds, so he has really changed. I'm not a big Cullen fan, but I'm willing to give him a shot as a character at least. Plus, I really don't think BioWare would be crazy enough to add class gating on top of set sexuality and race gating.

I'd just laugh and dance merrily through the forums. It would take every nerve in my body not to shout, "I TOLD YOU SO!" Even if he is straight and race-gated, I'm still probably going to shout, "I TOLD YOU SO!"
yeah I wouldn't wish race gating on anyone. I really dislike it.*maniacal laughter*
I mean... yeah it kinda would. Nothing against the Cullenites though, they are a nice group of people from what I've seen.

Not thrilled with it either, even had some serious rants about it as well. I'm calmer now, but it did take me a few weeks to mellow out after they dropped that little bomb on us.
I read Cullen's info... But he kinda... I don't know blew over me? Haha like I wasn't that interested though I will give him a shot in much later play throughs .
He isn't even 5th on my list of romances I'd like, but I don't mind getting to know him first.
Plus, blonde haired, hazel eyed pretty-boy military types usually don't do a thing for me. Alistair has been the only exception to the rule, in or out of the games. ![]()
Anders didn't tell the PC Grey Warden he was bisexual either.
And of course some people were still completely surprised, like it was some retcon or something. I think they expected he should have greeted the warden with "Hi, I'm Anders -- I like men and women. Oh, and I didn't kill those Templars." xD
Goes to show this stuff can always happen in ways people least expect it. We tend to make decisions about stuff that's never fully implied... whether it be a guy we just met never fully explaining his sexual preferences to us (how dare he!) Or a comment made by a very witty and sarcastic (albeit lovable) Dwarf.
But yeah... if it came down to Varric and Vivienne... I'm sorry Viv fans. >.> I'm voting Varric. Not that my vote counts towards anything.
I think that Vivienne probably won't be romanceable. She seems so devoted and driven to her ideals that I figure she'll fall into the "ain't got time for your business” category Laidlaw mentioned. lol ..
As for the males, I don't think it would be Solas either....I saw a tweet from one of the devs to a Solas fan and unless he was trolling it doesn't look good. I think it went something like, "Uh-oh, are we gonna have to deal with unrequainted love for Solas like we did with Mordin?” (like I said if he was trolling or something someone let me know.)
So, it doesn't look good for him. I'm putting my money on Varric/straight/racegated, Iron Bull Bi/racegated and...poossssiibbbllly, maaaaayyybbbee, Blackwall??? Hmmm, actually I think Vivienne has a better chance than him....
So, I think I'm going with Varric, Iron Bull, and Vivienne being in the remaining LI slots.
I'm totally cool with him being Bi, he can be flirted with by a male and a female Hawke after all. Varric being bi just means more people can sample his fine dwarven crafts.If Varric is announced as the bi, no race gated romance I would be in shock for who knows how long
Direct from Kirkwall. ![]()
yeah I wouldn't wish race gating on anyone. I really dislike it.
Especially not Cullen fans, with the big disappointment a lot of the community went through with him being straight. I would honestly feel so bad, despite my little joke. x(
What?! You didn't know you're supposed to introduce yourself that way?! It's common courtesy. When I meet someone new I always go "Hi, I'm Juliet and I find men and women attractive, nice to meet you!"And of course some people were still completely surprised, like it was some retcon or something.

LOL I know, right? I imagine people irl getting really upset at me because I don't tell everyone off the bat and I chuckle to myself at how hilarious the entire concept is.
Shame on you .LOL I know, right? I imagine people irl getting really upset at me because I don't tell everyone off the bat and I chuckle to myself at how hilarious the entire concept is.

I have had a few folks get upset, because I was "lying" to them. Right, because I always say, "I like boobies and penises equally" the first time I meet someone, as I'm sure that straight people have to clarify that they only prefer the opposite sex do all the time. /sarcasm ![]()
Yeah, these people were never my friends, just folks I've met in my life.

I understand disappointment, what I can't stand is people wanting the writers to change something about a character just to please the fanbase. In retrospect I've been kinda hypocritical about that with Iron Bull possibly being a fling so starting now I'm going to be completely ok with all of Biowares decisions.
But that won't stop me from flailing this around.
Not for the faint of heart
Meh, seen worse. My husband is a redditor.

Hahahahahhahahahaha! I don't even know what I've just seen but this is the best!
IB's head placed on Kelly Chambers' body from ME2. She wasn't a full fledged romance but you could get her to dance sexy for you in your quarters.
Oh, I knew that but my shock can't comprehend this is a thing. XDIB's head placed on Kelly Chambers' body from ME2. She wasn't a full fledged romance but you could get her to dance sexy for you in your quarters.
...Is it horrible of me to think that Varric has a better chance than Blackwall or Vivienne of making it into the game as a LI?

Ah, so that's what that was. I thought it was IB's head put on the body of an Asari stripper.
I've just been going over in my head thinking about the potential companions that are LIs, and frankly they don't seem to fit except Varric.
Blackwall--Like I mentioned, I think it'll be a flirt and he'll turn you down. He's nearing his Calling, and already strikes me as the type of guy that would rather die than hurt one of his dear friends.
Vivienne--This one is rather tricky. I personally think she "ain't got time for that," due to her drive and determination to get ahead. So I don't think she'll be available as a result. Some have said it would be racist to make the first black female companion in DA a LI, others have said that it would be racist not to. I think the DA team is in a catch .22 here.
Solas and Iron Bull (gated) I think are going to be our bisexual men.
