Exactly. 

Short descriptions of the characters, including their sexual orientation, would not harm the mystery of the game and in fact would make it more appealing for some. After all, your character is going to potentially be spending every moment with these 12 characters throughout the entire game.

 

It's not like we're asking for story or plot spoilers. Hell the character interviews they have released have been great, but I wish they'd release ones we have relatively little info on.

It would be fun if they did a blind date style intro, where they each answer three questions about themselves, talking about the kind of people they'd like to meet

Well that certainly is a creative way to do it

[godModeAlpha]

Dont think there is any iteration / combination LI that Bioware can produce which would satisfy everyone.

 

While I really want to see the chart, I think we should at lest give credit to writers / devs for making games with such diversity.

 

Truely I'll be disappointed if i can't romance Viv (bi / Straight) but meh, at least I can romance someone else, or play as a different PC.

Ideally I'd like us to all be able to skip to the bit where we all know we have at least one option available to us

 

This.

Why am I imagining Sera as the second one? LOL

[Innsmouth Dweller]

Real life =\= fantasy game.

Also, why does it matter to anyone how someone else plays their game. If I want to plan my playthroughs around which LI I am interested in, how does it effect anyone else?

actually you're right, there are fewer choices in a fantasy game.

 

I'm not interested, I assure you

I just think the game wouldn't be a commercial success if romance was most important feature. And they wouldn't bother with this whole exploration, open world thing.

[godModeAlpha]

I hope they don't, put such a great value on one feature, I mean. Romance is pretty important in these games, it's understandable, but I doubt the majority of gamers is going to spend over 50 h drooling over a NPC they want to bang. And deciding upon race/class/gender only to be able to romance some specific NPC seems a bit excessive. I mean: really? really?

 

I wonder what would happen if I jumped on a guy IRL and demanded him to be straight.

 

Bang ... this word

I was talking about your ridiculous concept of jumping on a straight guy in rl. Not relevant or appropriate.

Also, romance IS an important feature in Bioware games for at least a quarter of their customer base. No one is asking to do away with the other aspects of the game.

Well, given their poor communication on romances, revealing The Chart™ can only make things better.

Brilliant

Add in a Dragon Age Cilla Black and it would be perfect (I suppose we could put Flemeth in a wig )

[Ianamus]

daveliam has the right of it, I think, when it comes to romances. They haven't announced the bare minimum of romance information, they've released weird scattershot bits of information with little to no context.

 

It seems pretty comprehensive to me. There are romance options, there are more romance options than in any previous Dragon Age game, and some are limited to particular genders and races. 

[mikeymoonshine]

I just wanna thank Bioware for giving us our first exclusively gay character in DA and our first exclusively gay companion ever. I am sure the npc romances/romance will be great but it's nice to know that they feel comfortable with making an actual companion gay. 

 

As for restrictions I don't care that much. I will probably play all the romances anyway.

LMAO

That's so fitting! or not apparently 

 

[Fialka]

First, off, regarding the first post in the thread, that bit of insight into game development was super interesting... and make sense.  Seems to me, what he's saying is that these race-gated romances were the ones added in later - and the choice was between having said romance but limiting who they can make them for, or not adding them at all.  Personally, I prefer them to be included. And if it means having to play as a different race/gender than I'd initially planned to be able to experience it, then so be it.  I mean, I planned on re-playing the game a few times anyway.

 

Also, I can't help but point out that, for me personally, I like that there are restrictions to who the characters will be interested in (even if it is just an accidental side effect to technical or time limitations).  I realize that games aren't real life... but in real life you don't walk into a room full of strangers and go "Hey, that guys looks awesome! He will be my boyfriend!"  I mean, I can try to make it so but, realistically it might not happen.  I mean, he could be gay.  He could be really not into brunettes.  He could be taken, or just not into me, whatever.  Or I get to know him and don't even like him.  Well, okay, but there's this other guy who I may not have initially thought I'd be into, but he has a really cool personality and interesting life story, whatever, so I pursue something with him instead.  At least, that's how I typically play a game where romances are a thing. 

 

I remember playing the Mass Effect trilogy, and was so sure I'd go for Kaidan.  But in fact, I found him boring and the whole Horizon thing soured me on him even more, but that cricket/dinosaur looking guy who's prospect as a romance I'd initially laughed at was seriously growing on me

 

Erm, that turned out waaayy longer than I meant it to... Sorry

They already made Sera exclusive to the females so I doubt that there isn't a gay LI.

This post makes Juhani sad.

But I do support the thanks for including exclusively gay characters in the game. Sera seems pretty awesome. I really hope that there is a gay male as well, but even if there are several bisexual men instead, I'd still be happy to have a gay companion in the form of Sera!

Steve says hi too

 

Although mikey is right that it's the first in Dragon Age. It'll be interesting to see how they would function in that setting. Would they be out or nonchalant about it?  We haven't actually seen how a gay person functions in that setting, except for one particular queen who's already an exceptional case.

oops. Ok well as you said, the thanks is still valid.

Y'know, I've never even been able to make Juhani's romance trigger at all. I wouldn't be surprised if few people even know it exists.

I haven't been reading up on this topic much but I am curious enough to ask a question.

 

As a straight male (who enjoys a good bioware romance) going into this game, I see 3 female companions.

 

Cassandra: Who's personality we glimpsed in DA:2. She comes off as way to serious/intense and I'm a little turned off by her Masculine look.

 

Vivienne: I'm interested to learn more but from the (extremely limited!) information available at this time, I can tell you that I'm put off by her look. I don't find her very attractive and her outfits seem annoyingly goofy to me.

 

Sera: The one I was most interested in but has now been confirmed as female only LI. I like her look and since that's really all we had to go on for the moment...

 

Anyways, please tell me there is another option! I'm gonna be really disappointed if I have to play another Dragon Age game where the romances don't appeal to me!
