Everyone is entitled to their opinion, in my opinion Cole is a better option than Blackwall, dude is going to die soon, and I really hope BioWare doesn't do another Thane.  And a better option to Iron Bull, he's far larger than everyone else.

Aside from Cole, I see no reason all the people we've seen couldn't be LIs.  It's possible Bioware decided the romances are so popular, make everyone (but Cole, pretty sure they shot that one down) into a LI.  If that's the case, Blackwall wouldn't take a slot away from you and all this fighting and dealing and trading that goes on around here is for nothing. 

 

There'd be a dash of brilliance, because then there's something for everyone.  Wise, experienced, tragic?  Blackwall.  Love or duty?  Iron Bull.  Past or future?  Varric. 

 

I'd list more examples, but watch them Joss!

You do realise Nocte's a gay guy right?

My guess?  Varric.  Varric is the most requested. 

 

Still don't think that plays much of a factor when devs make an LI

Eh females had one more romance option than straight males a whooping one time. (Da2). I felt the same way even back in JE days. All i wanted was Zu ;_;

Well, straight females have gotten a better deal in every game than gay males, so I think "we share either Solas or Cullen so we both get equal choices" is a pretty reasonable request. lol

Yeah this.

 

though I could see them making a Varric an extra straight gated LI to elves (since they're the most played after humans) and dwarves.

It is a reasonable request yeah. But being pissed cause someone gets one more option than you do and you still have options to choose from is where you lose me.

Here's my current thoughts:
 
STRAIGHT - Vivienne, Solas
BISEXUAL - Cassandra, Scribbles, Cullen, the Iron Bull
GAY - Sera, Dorian
 
VIVIENNE: Straight - NON-GATED
SERA: Gay - NON-GATED
‘SCRIBBLES’: Bisexual - Human, Qunari
CASSANDRA: Bisexual - Human, Elf, Dwarf
VARRIC: NA*
THE IRON BULL: Bisexual - Human, Qunari
SOLAS: Straight - NON-GATED
DORIAN: Gay - NON-GATED
CULLEN: Bisexual - Human, Elf, Dwarf
COLE: NA
BLACKWALL: NA
 
Varric could perhaps be a Dwarf-only Straight romance. But it's such a specific scenario, I would be surprised if it were to happen. (And I would give my left leg for Cole to be a healthy, consensual asexual option but that is so not happening.)

Here I'll make you a deal. You all can have Cullen and Solas and just give me Varric. That's a fair trade right?

Wrong, gay men had more options than straight females in ME3. 

Gay males always had Steve. 

Straight females could have nobody if Kaidan died in ME1 and didn't romance Garrus in ME2.

Pfft like Dorian Garrus counts as 2.

 

(Though you really should've been able to start a new romance with him in ME3...)

It got ruined for me when Jacob started talking about "Da prize"

 

Not that I ever romanced him, but that really was an awkward line.

 

I hope one of the DAI romances say that :P

But they could have the options. They were written and added to the game. I'm not going to pretend two full romance plots didn't exist. I would EASILY trade my situation for that.

And Leliana. They confirmed she isn't an option. :(

Man, I don't wanna be around here or Tumblr if/when Cassandra gets announced as being straight. It will make SeraGate look tame in comparison.

I ain't scared. They're selling these big old padlocks at the hardware store down the street and I got enough canned peaches to last me 'til next winter.

You can have your opinion, that doesn't change the fact that it won't happen.

You also had two, since Kaidan was available to men as well. So even with Kaidan, you're statement of "straight females have gotten a better deal in every game than gay males" is false since it is a tie.

One of ours was an NPC with little relevance that only appeared in the last game, while theirs were continuing companions, so I still stand by my claim.

Alas, not true.

Mass Effect did have Kaidan and Steve Cortez but.... they were only LI's in Mass Effect 3.

 

There was no same sex romance option for a male Shepard in Mass Effect 1 or 2 so it's not balanced. :(

SilkieBantam ask them to throw Iron Bull into the deal and I'll give you enough peaches to last three winters and two guard dogs to help keep the Cullenites away. Heck I'll even stand outside on guard duty for ya :P

I agree. I think while some of the decisions regarding straight female Shepard's romances were highly questionable, they overall still had a better deal than gay males.

 

I don't know why they didn't make Sebastian available for males as well. Did they think that would be awkward considering the Chantry thing?

I'm assuming we're taking the games invidiually.

 

But honestly complaining about someone getting 3 LIs when you get 2 seems...eh to me. I mean I could see complaining about 1 when they get 2. Yeah that's suckage. But 2 to 3? And both of those options are full companions? Meh.

I agree if straight males end up with Cassandra, Vivienne and Scribbles and lesbians end up with Scribbles and Sera I will be pissed too. Now if I get Cassandra and Sera I will be to happy to even notice. :)

 

Yeah, straight males getting 3 options and gays 2? Nah son.

I'm in for the trade for Varric and Iron Bull. :P (Even though I do like Cullen and Solas) I'm much more interested in those two ~
