Dialog such as.

 

"No."

You're not thinking big here,the dialogue could vary between which LI gets romanced by a elven,dwarven,human,or qunari character.The possibilities are endless in regards to character interactions.

I want to think of race-gated romances as being special as they are crafted uniquely with certain races in mind. This should be a more immersive experience, and I have high hopes for that. The downside of course is that there will now be people who feel strongly about a certain LI and therefore feel restricted in their options as a result. To those people I can only say I'm truly sorry and I hope the next game offers you a better set of opportunities. No doubt I will experience moments of disappointment also as I pass through the game. For now I am staying optimistic

[cjones91]

Technically that would just be if they were race reactive, not race gated. We had reactive in DA:O (where the LIs would say different things/you'd get different banter depending on your race when you were romancing somebody). Gated just means (in your example) that the human gets romance dialogue and the others don't get any at all

 

You're right in that it may allow those romances that do exist to be far more specific in tone, though.

Good point,there's plenty of potential for this to be a good thing imo.

[TheodoricFriede]

Where on earth do you get that most of it is restricted for any given character?

 

Source, mind you. An article, or dev quote, anything concrete to substantiate the claim.

6 to 8 romances divided by 2 genders, 3 orientations, and 4 races.

 

Unless there are many many more options available to us, which is unlikely, there will be A LOT or restrictions.

[Former_Fiend]

Having romance options be determined by race is a good thing because it adds variety.For example a human character might get romance dialogue that differs from a elven,dwarven,or qunari character.

 

Here's my view on it;

 

If you're saying that I can romance, for example, Cassandra, and I can romance her as a human, elf, dwarf, and qunari, but just that I will get different dialogue and perhaps even a somewhat different story arc because those romances might be tackling different issues, then I'm perfectly fine with that.

 

But if you're telling me that I can only romance Cassandra(again, just an example) as a human or elf, but as a qunari or dwarf I "get" to romance someone else for "unique" dialogue, then I'm not ok with that.

Of course thats what i want, but i think it will be far more of "Sorry Inquisitor... i just dont see you that way."

What is your source for the number of romances?

What is your basis for the severity of restrictions as applied to those numbers?

And how on earth does a bisexual orientation count as a restriction to whether someone is interested in your particular avatar?

 

Sources, please. Data data data, we can not make conclusions without data any more than we can make bricks without clay...

 

 

We should also look at which Inquisitor you're referring to, or even if you're referring to any one in particular. There is a considerable difference between, say, being restricted from content and simply not being interested in content that is available.

Except we don't know if that's the case,it's far more likely that the LI in question may be harder to romance depending on what race the Inquisitor is.Just like how Bioware said race selection will matter more in the story and that for example a Qunari character may have more difficulty getting allies ,and a elf can call on other elves for help ,while having trouble getting humans on board.

Stupid Set Sexuality And Race Gating System. aka SSSARGS.

Love that. Sums up my view on this horrid gating.

The term gating means like how a gate shuts people out of an area, the LI-gating shuts people out of a romance. If it was just harder to get, then it is not gated.

Thanks.

[Allan Schumacher]

And I appreciate that people from BioWare actually read these threads, no matter how combative and/or ridiculous they get. Thank you .

 

Hhahahahaha I had to double take this.  At first I read it as "I appreciate that BioWare reads these, no matter how combative and/or ridiculous BioWare gets!" XD XD XD

 

 

At first I was pretty D:

[azarhal]

Just going to point it out if there was no restrictions and everyone was Bi , there would be just as much arguing , You can't please everyone.

 

We would also have a lot less romance option in the game.

[Mukora]

God. I almost wish BioWare would just do away with all the romances so I don't have to read all this whining.

Alas, I enjoy it too much myself.

That's a epic stache' right there,Dorian is going to be a constant member in my party.

[Andraste_Reborn]

While we can only guess at the moment, six to eight is a well-informed guess.

 

The absolute maximum number of romances options from the companions and advisors would be ten, since we know for sure that Cole and Leliana aren't available choices. (OK, we don't know for sure that's Cole in the group shots. But does anyone really doubt it at this point?) However, only four of those ten are women. If they're going to have gender balance, that leaves us with eight. It's possible they might not have gender balance - DA2 didn't , if you count Sebastian - but nine or ten seems really high to me.

 

Six is the minimum because Mark Darrah said there were more romances in Inquisition than in previous DA games and there were five in DA2 and it's really as low as you can go while giving both straight and gay characters two choices each.

[Vindicare175]

True enough.

[Abelas Forever!]

Personally I find race and gender restrictions interesting. I don't believe that they are going to do it like character X can be romanced only by female human. I think it could work quite well when character X can be romanced by females only but not human females. I also think that you might get more options with certain LIs depending on your PC like Alistair and warden in DAO.  Anyway I wish to know who are available to who before I start to play so I don't get frustrated when I relialize that the LI I like is not available to me but I think that is not a problem even if I start playing the game when it has been released because it takes quite some time to finnish so I believe that the information who are available to who is available quite soon after the game has been released so I can choose someone else instead.

Ahaha. Well, you guys can be pretty ridiculous, but only in a good way . (I mean, you're giving us a weaponised jar of bees!)

[Allan Schumacher]

The most certainly will if the statement of issues with animating are true.

 

No, dwarf PC definitely have access to romances from other races.

[cjones91]

No, dwarf PC definitely have access to romances from other races.

Hmm....I suspect many Dwarven/IB romances then.

[TheodoricFriede]

No, dwarf PC definitely have access to romances from other races.

See, THIS is the information i want to hear.

 

Obviously i want to know more, (such as which races, what genders, orientations, and how many)but NDAs and marketing and all that.

 

Thank you.

[XxPrincess(x)ThreatxX]

Im guessing some people now regret complaining so much about the DA2 all bi romance approach & asking for more "realistic" set sexualities, seems Inquisition is giving people what they demanded just not in the way they individually wanted.

No, we don't know it it's the case, but we don't know it isn't, and I am not about to dismiss the possibility.
