I know it's ridiculous, there are nasty people out there who seem to believe that once you hit 30 your life ends.
Its ok im 23 tho. I mean id like to get married and have kids someday sure but when im ready for it. The fact that im mega shy doesnt help ha ha.
the number of female gamers age 50 and older increasedby32%from 2012 to 2013^This...this is amazing.
I can totally believe it. My mom and aunt are really into the casual games market - seems like at least once a week that they're downloading some new title from Big Fish.
I hope to be gaming till im dead and buried. What the heck does gaming have to do with getting married i know people that met through gaming and got married ha ha thats silly.
Justifying a £3k PC get's harder. Yay for consoles.

Yea i paid 1300$ US for my current Rig ha ha. Thats why i multigame part of me likes PC master race but somthings are just better on consoles as such i like both.
Thank you. This honestly means a lot to read.
Yes, I did get a little choked up. Thank you Palla, so much.
Sometimes I like to imagine that I'm not completely crazy when I rant on the internet.
But I'm so tired and my cat is on my lap and she'll look at me with her beautiful offended eyes if I get up to try to go to sleep.

PC master race.
My mom and dad are an MMO gaming couple. They used to play EverQuest back in the olden days. Right now, FFXIV's more their thing.
Also, props to pallascedar for that awesome post. I'm really pleasantly surprised by how open and accepting this forum is of all sexualities.
My first thought was: is this about wincest?
destiel forever.

I know we are sooooooo rare ha ha! Id be horrible if i was the Character in game i can imagine the complaints on the fourms about me lol.
Oh im not uncomfortable with it. I can listen to them talk things with graphic body language no problem. Its just not for me. Its my own pref and my own problem I guess. Though I dont really consider it as a problem because there are plenty of straight guys out there. And theres Alistair in game.Nobody is asking you to find M/M attractive. That would be silly: I don't find F/F or F/M attractive and I think I'm mostly not a bigot. The issue is that, if I've read your post correctly, your specifically have a problem with characters being bisexual, which strikes me as problematic. Bisexual people are just as capable as straight people of being loyal to their partners. You never have to think about a bisexual man with men if you don't want (just like you wouldn't have to think of your straight partners being with other women.)
Biphobia is a pretty real problem that most people are pretty dismissive about; I used to pretty regularly read a gay forum and it was disturbing to see how many people "Wouldn't want to date a bisexual". While I'm happy with "set sexualities" (I put that in quotes because I choose to believe that sexuality was set in DA2, they just all happened to be bi) I still find it disturbing that I feel like many of the complaints about DA2 come from this biphobic stance. I've argued with people who think that there was no way Fenris or Merrill could be bi because "it didn't make sense for them" like it did for more promiscuous characters.
If you have lots of gay and bisexual friends then you're probably a pretty open person when it comes to sexuality, and I'd encourage you to reevaluate why you're uncomfortable with the idea of a LI being bisexual.

Lol the olden days *shakes stick*
Back on topic. I'm a straight female and always play as such, bisexual companions don't bother me in the slightest. In Origins I only ever romance Alistair but that's largely because I adore his character.

I honestly thank BioWare's team for that and yes, EA too. Between the two companies, they have helped make this into a safe place to talk about sexuality and what being a non-hetero can mean for folks. They've welcomed us with open arms, something not a lot of game companies are willing to try yet.
I know I've learned a lot by posters sharing their stories.

Alistair is such a bro as well def my wardens best friend.

I feel the same way about Morrigan. 
I think that's why I could never romance her, even when I do my gender-bending Warden play through later in the summer.

Biphobia is a huge problem in both the straight and gay communities. I work at an LGBT center and I've even heard volunteers say incredibly offensive things about bisexuals. Gay men that are just too afraid to come all the way out of the closet. Straight women that just want men's attention. Sluts that will bang anything, or that can't decide what they want. It's really upsetting and I've gotten into some heated arguments with people about this in real life.
As a general rule, I think people should consider that, if similar things said about you would make you offended, don't say them about bisexuals. If you wouldn't appreciate being told you're "confused" about your sexuality, whether you're gay or straight, then why would it be acceptable to assume you know someone else's better than they do? If you don't think it's alright for people to assume you will sleep with any man or woman just because your sexual orientation lends to them, don't assume bisexuals will sleep with anyone just because they can potentially be attracted to either. If you've ever been attracted to more than one person in your life, I doubt you'd want someone telling you that you can't "make up your mind" about what you want. I think we see the pattern here.
And further on that point, if you would be alright with hearing about someone's partners or exploits if they are one sexuality, then I really do think you have some issues you should look at if you do have a problem hearing the same thing from another sexuality. Double standards are generally always a red flag that something is not right with your outlook.
I feel the same way about Morrigan.

Im gonna try to romance her on my play through tomorrow but i just know im gonna end up with Leliana again lol.

Off topic here but that should be a thread if its isn't already.
Leliana always tends to become my Wardens best friend, Wynne is her substitute mother since she lost her own (I'm thinking my canon Warden here, which is Cousland, it's the origin that feels the most right for me).

It's also why I always end up doing the ritual. Morrigan is my friend and I trust her dammit. I'm always baffled by how many people on these forums think that she's a backstabbing mean-word.

I agree, what if we were companions, I love it!

Because they played Witch Hunt.

Alistair is my closest companion analogue. A what companion are you thread could be fun.

Me too, but to me that's the sign of a well-written character: The amount of strong emotional impact they have on the player. If folks were crushed and felt back-stabbed by Morrigan, then the writing team/VA team did their job. If folks (such as you and I) adored her friendship and/or romance, then the teams did their job.
Because they played Witch Hunt.
I played WH. Plenty of folks did and there is still a lot of "I trusted her/She betrayed me!" talk going on. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I think I'd be a combo of Leliana and Wynne with a dash of Morrigan and Shale, people would absolutely HATE me lol.
