I think they might wait until after they do the official intros for all the characters and advisors before they release the LI info in full, but I've been ready to know for ages. lol

[Feybrad]

I would've gone for an Elf, but Qunari would of course yield the most Tension.

That's my hope. They only haven't released it because they haven't announced all the LI characters as characters yet.

[ahellbornlady]

Right now my best guess for a 2/2/2 spread is:

Straight - Scribbles
Bi- Cassandra
Gay - Sera
Straight - Cullen
Bi - Iron Bull
Gay -Dorian

 

YES I think both advisors/NPCs will be the straight options... and why not?

[Nocte ad Mortem]

I'd bet money on the second one. I feel pretty confident Cullen is the straight option.

Either way works great for me, because I love Dorian and I feel pretty evenly positive about Cullen and Solas. Not a fan of Iron Bull, but two strong choices is still awesome. 

[SurelyForth]

Not Sera?

 

I'm already planning on romancing Sera with my qunari rogue (and at least one dwarf). But I got the idea of Cassandra and the warrior Femquisitor that she loves fighting side by side and went weak in the knees.

You know what i wish/hope there be a lil more empathises on unrequited love other then oh im not interested in you because of this reason. I say this because i had such a good idea for a Melf Sera side story that i think would be cool. Maybe i should write it out ha ha fan fic!!!!

Is it normal for them to do that? I have played several BW games, but I never noticed or saw an official release of LIs WITH the orientations and now race restrictions. I heard people finding out through a game review near the date of release or leaked information but nothing from the company.

I kind of like Dorian. He's really not physically my type but his personality snippets seem intriguing. He just needs to get rid of that mustache. Facial hair is a straight up no for me.

Because they aren't companions, I'm certain Bioware won't do this. Either Cassandra or Vivienne for me. And Solas. One companion for each orientation.

Because then you'd potentially have the gay players being able to have 2 companion choices (and one of the companion choices being exclusively theirs). While the straight players would get 1 companion choice (you know, those people you take out questing with you) and NO companion option exclusively theirs.

 

Don't see that spread happening.

I'm not sure about Origins, but they told us with DA2.

didn't bioware announce da2s romance options on valentines before it came out?

[Nocte ad Mortem]

Yeah, they told us about DA2's options on Valentine's Day. It wasn't long before release, though, if I remember right. I think like the month before.  

[azarhal]

Just like BioWare wouldn't make the only blond haired elven female a lesbian or the dandy male gay. Well, they just did.

 

Beside, if the specialists/advisers are straight, there is still the bisexual characters available to straight people. I'm not sure how they get disqualified exactly.

[Sylvianus]

So either it will give Cassandra straight , Vivienne Bi, Scribe girl Bi, Sera lesbian ( or the opposite between Cass and Vivi for their orientation )

 

or Cassandra straight, scribe girl BI, Sera lesbian.

 

For the guys : Solas straight, Cullen BI, Iron Bull BI, Dorian Gay.  

 

or Cullen straight, Varric straight, Iron Bull bi, Dorian gay, 

 

Here what I'm thinking. 

[jlb524]

The said nothing specific about orientation.

 

They showed the LIs with the opposite sex Hawke only.

Because there would be no 'This companion is exclusively for a straight player.' while a gay player would get a companion that is exclusively 'theirs'.

 

And companions are pretty integral in a BW game, they wrote them to be pretty important for the plot.

 

Having just an NPC 'for us' would be a major let down. Since in ME I never got 'attached' or 'liked' the NPCs as strongly as the squadmates. NPCs are more important for the 'day to day'. (although based on the Vid showing Leliana the NPC role in this game may be a tad more fluid, but still not the same)

A blond haired elven female lesbian is about tastes, not about trying to be fair as possible while providing options. And this is their direction. This is my opinion. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. And If I am, so be it. Or I could see scribe girl as the straight girl if Vivienne and Cassandra are both romancable. But not in the 2/2/2 system. 

 

It would surprise me in my opinion if Bioware wasn't aware that the npc romances aren't at all popular with the fanbase after M3 and that being restricted to choose between one npc and one companion isn't really appealing  while other folks could have the choice between two companions. Unless they are ready with all the complaints to come.

Essentially, it's the idea that advisers will have less content all around because they aren't "in the field" with you when you quest. It's been a heavily debated topic in the romance threads, simply because our main experience with NPC romances is ME3, where Traynor and Cortez did not get the same level of content or attention as the companion romances. 

 

So, in a 2/2/2 scenario, gay and lesbian Inquisitors would have the choice of two companions while straight Inquisitors only have one (and that's not taking race gating into consideration). Unless the NPC romances are just as robust as the companion romances, that means straight Inquisitors are the ones with lesser content this time around.

I wasn't on the BSN then, but I pre-ordered DA2 with first day delivery and my friend that frequented the forum told me before it arrived that all the romances were bisexual and they were. Is my friend psychic/lucky, or did they say this at some point? I don't know now. lol

That info came from leaks.

 

BW never announced it.

 

The sexuality of the DA;O companions came from leaked images of a strategy guide right before the game came out.

Poor straight people. Maybe they should get a taste of how it feels to have so few options.

[Feybrad]

I agree that Advisors, while one may like them all the same, would just not have the same Amount of Content as the Companion. I always enjoyed the little Additions. for Example, when you took your LI Companion with you in the Leviathan DLC of mass Effect, they would tell you, once you return, to never do this again. This wasn't the case with the NPCs as far as I know and while I see the Advisors take a more proactive Role than the Crew members of ME3, I do not think they simply "can" have the same Amount of Interaction that the actual Companions are able to provide. I also doubt it could translate in any Way into the "bickering" or "commenting" that the Dragon Age Companions did in the Form of Banter.

I just fear that the Advisor Romances will ultimately feel inferior to actual Companion Romances and I can't really think of a Way to change these Issues so the Advisor Romances would be on par with the others. Any ideas?

That Attitude does not help matters. Schadenfreude is not a good Thing and no one should wish the other what he himself had to endure.

Do you honestly think that would be good for PR.

 

 

 

*and really great response from you btw when I'm glad that they are making some companions have a set sexuality*
