Correct. Poorly.

 

And in this game i feel like it is equally as poor for straight romance options.

 

But i really dont want to get into this anymore. I have said what i feel on the straight options, and thats really all i got.

Totally not trying to be inflammatory and I always supported bi LIs as standard, but consider that there is a difference between the options you have available not appealing to your tastes and the options not existing. I can totally understand that you're disappointed that you didn't get someone that was appealing to you. I would be disappointed, too. But straight people are almost certainly going to get the same amount of options that gay people get. In the ME series, the same could not be said in reverse.

I wouldn't be surprised if his Dragon blood negated it lol

Don't give them ideas....

[Ryzaki]

Guys what if we are able to solved the gray warden problem and they dont die any more!

 

...If that's the case then sure I'd be down for a Blackwall romance (as long as he doesn't do anything stupid like "I don't want to lose the taint!")

XD this would be awesome.

 

But then Alistair has to watch my femPC die...welp...

[Ladylionhart]

I'd be totally fine with Varric being race-gated.All the more reason to make a female dwarf.I was going to anyway but if Varric is a LI for dwarfs,I'll have all the more reason.

[HuldraDancer]

But it's not like someone could head cannon if they and Blackwall were an item, that they would be able to grow old into their senility together.

Unless some cure is found for the taint, he's leaving Thedas sooner than you are (baring any unforseen accident, disease, or getting eaten by a dragon).

Lots of people don't die around the same time as their partners. I wasn't saying they have to give a happy ending to a Blackwall romance I just find it odd that everyone is saying he's dying because he's both old and a warden if his info had said he was close to his calling then I could see it but since it doesn't I really don't get it is all.

[Josh902]

They did that with Fiona, it was horrible.

 

I dont read/know anything that isnt in the games so i didnt know who Fiona is till the other day ha ha.

[AresKeith]

It probably already happened, it would make more sense than Fiona

You don't get how watching someone slowly lose their mind to the taint is undesirable?

 

Watching someone get weaker and weaker while there's nothing the PC can do about is undesirable?

 

Really?

 

You don't see the difference between a foregone conclusion death that eats away at someone from inside and then just dying from an accident/stray arrow/whatever?

So, Dorian has been confirmed as gay.

To me, he's the best looking out of the male companions.

As a straight female, and wanting to play as a straight female character (at least once), the potential options left are:
A bald Elf who kind of looks like Nicholas Cage and has questionable fashion sense.
A charming Dwarf, height challenges aside, who is strangely attached to an inanimate object.
A hulking Qunari who's occularlly challened, with Texas Longhorns stuck to the side of his head.
A human Templar, who seems to be involved in chaos where ever he goes. (confirmed LI)

So what are the guesses of the remaining males as to LI status, and for orientation?

Added:
How could I forget?????
A human Grey Warden beefcake, honorary Dwarf due to beard status, tainted and possibly (finely) aged?

[Allan Schumacher]

Correct. Poorly.

"Equally" as poor?

[BlueFlame527]

I'm not.

 

Ah, apologies then

[Sjofn]

But I'm still betting on either;

 

Solas - Straight

Dorian - Gay

Iron Bull - Bi

Cullen - Bi

 

OR

 

Solas - Bi

Dorian - Gay

Iron Bull - Bi

Cullen - Straight

 

Ugh, both of these mean my initial playthrough is going to be a forever alone femquisitor, which makes me really sad. Also means my dudely playthroughs are going to skyrocket, which makes me feel a little guilty.

[Josh902]

I dont think we can judge the romances till we actually yaknow experiance them. At the moment its being based on what little we know and as shallow as it is the appearance of the Lis.

[Jaulen]

And the whole idea that once the calling hits, they go down to the deep road to go throw their remaining life at killing darkspawn.

 

A rather horrid way to die if you ask me.

Slowly turn into a ghoul, or go kill as many of what you will become before the taint overtakes you or they tear you to shreds.

Exactly.

 

It's not comparable to "well everyone dies!" if my LI got randomly killed in an epilogue I'd think it sucks but it wouldn't be the "really?" I get from tainted LIs and Thane.

 

Also I would be significantly less bothered if they saddled the female LIs with it but nope. That's always a special for the f/m players.

Unless they make that THE focal point of a Blackwall romance, I don't have much issue with the whole "he's tainted" thing. The world could rip itself tomorrow, my inquisitor is not going to care much about long term sad.

 

Of course, I never, ever cared my Wardens can't have babies with Alistair or that they're going to eventually have a too-short life together. It's sad, sure, but it's also not something I have to play through. I'm perfectly happy thinking they'll be happy with what time they have left together and leaving it at that.

I think this is the biggest thing people are missing, and why planning out your Inquisitor's entire story and LI beforehand might not be the best idea. You have to be prepared to be disappointed. I'm personally not really interested in any of the male characters in terms of romance. I do two playthroughs, one with my lesbian character and the other for a "bang a dude" romance. I was sad none of the men interested me at all but Bioware is making a game for everyone, not just for me. You can't expect them to always cater to your specific tastes. And the fact that Bioware cares about giving everyone equal options and representing everyone is important. Of course I fully plan on giving all of the men a chance. I think the best thing to do is go into the game with an open mind really.

I'm expecting Varric to be a female dwarf romance (not expecting him to be a li at all, this is a 'if he is' thing) but I am really tempted to play as a beefy male Qunari called Bianca.....hmmm. I don't want to romance Varric, I just think it will be amusing 

[Tamyn]

Solas is my only hope for a companion romance.

 

 

*crosses fingers*

[Mr.House]

You should NEVER plan ahead until the options are fully revealed.

[Sjofn]

How dare gay people have an equal number of exclusive romance options as straight people?

 

Oh man, I hope that wasn't directed at me. Take my complaints as a reflection of how DO NOT WANT I am about Cullen and Solas (and my initial femquisitor is going to be a dwarf, so not much want in the IB department), not at all a complaint about gay companions. I'm actually really happy that gay people get to feel really represented for real for once.

See it's a YMMV situation. My Inq would care about long term sad. I'm not fond of sitting in hospitals waiting for luck to win out or lose because there's nothing anyone really can do about it except give pain meds. There's nothing appealing to that to me. It frustrates me and aggravates me. Though I admit I'd be more inclined to just ignore it if I was interested in more of the potential male LIs. As it is...

 

The warden wasn't that bad of a deal to me because of the balanced scales (though that ending where my warden killed herself with unhardened Leliana was something I wasn't inclined to repeat). And they're probably gonna burn out near the same time as Alistair was a warden a mere 6 months before the PC and they'll burn out in the same horrible way. So the scales are balanced there.

I'm still surprised by how often I hear people still assume bisexuality isn't real that its just 'a phase kids say to make them cool' or something just as dumb.

There was Kaidan and Liara but that was it if you don't count Allers or Kelly which I don't. Though ME3 wasn't very good when it came to spreading out the romances. So far in DA there have been at least two bi options so I'd be surprised if there wasn't any bi LIs in DAI.

 

I hope you're right. We suffer enough bisexual erasure as it is.

If you aren't prepared for that then don't get into a relationship with them I also don't know where you're getting an impression of me saying the calling is no big deal, I just said that if unless the info on Blackwall has him close to his calling than I don't count him as a dying man and if he is close to his calling than he shouldn't be joining the inquisition. I'm saying I don't see how people consider him a dying man since we don't have much of an idea on how close to his calling he is and if he's that close than he shouldn't be joining up if he can't keep up. It's like getting into a romance with say Anders after you find out he's possessed if you aren't prepared for what could happen because of that then you shouldn't get into a relationship with him but I still don't get how you're thinking that I'm considering the taint as no big deal or equal to dying another way, I just said it's rare for partners to die around the same time.

[Jaulen]

I don't recall from reading the book, was it ever explained how she was untainted?
