In panel, talking about people who complain about them spending so much time on romance. Patrick points out that 60% of the game is combat.

Also make the point that there ARE straight people who enjoy accessing the lgbt content, and that the numbers of players who access it is larger than the supposed percentage of lgbt players, so it's a mistake to say that only a small percent of gamers are wanting the gay romances.

P. Weekes: More people romanced Leliana as a a female warden than chose to play a rogue. So should we cut rogues out of our games?

In response to comment: "It seems like you're making games for minorities, and straight white guys are an afterthought."

P. Weekes: I think straighty is gonna be ok. I think straighty's gonna make it through.

David: *laughing* Stop saying "straighty"!

P. Weekes: I can say that, i'm a straight guy. I'm taking the word back.

[Phate Phoenix]

Sorry, folks, no further LI news.

[Maria Caliban]

*dies*

Oh well, as long as Patrick keeps on talking, we'll be good.

[Solas]

Thank you to Maria Caliban for making a thread in the interim. And for being so cooperative with reposting this one! 

[Solas]

also yes thank you maria, you are both heroes

I added the pansexual bull tweet to the OP, as well as a definition for those who aren't familiar with pansexuality. 

 

 

 

Also sorry it took so long! I was asleep, and then ate breakfast and watched a movie. But we're back! 

 

 

 

 

I think all of the informative panels are over. We will probably get video tomorrow or tuesday.

David told a story in the GaymerX panel about informing one of the voice actors that their character is a male romance option.

 

DG: You have no idea how okay the actor is going to be with this, necessarily. So you bring it up and float it, like: "Okay, we've talked about this a little bit before but your character... is gay."

 

[other panelists]: Super gay.

 

DG: Super gay. And I just loved that their response was "Oh, excellent. Awesome, great. And then he just turned it on its head and was like "Well what kind of sex do we need to have?" 

 

(David talks about his reply to that question, "Oh no no, it's not ...... [game]" but there's an audio bug and it's impossible to hear.)

[Maria Caliban]

Super.
Gay.

No mere gayness here. We've got the nitro.

[JobacNoor]

I hope they get a cape.

I can't seem to get the panel audio to play, is there an unembedded link?

[JadePrince]

Lol he said "oh no, it's not that kind of game." (Aka, not an explicitly sexual nc17 game). But the point was, every voice actor who is voicing an lgbt character was totally cool/exited/enthusiastic about it.

Thanks, the audio skipped and I didn't catch the middle bit.

In terms of the audio not working:
 

 

 It works, but not in the player, you need to qoute your post so that you see the link directly, then you copy it and it works. but not in this player thingy ^^ 

 

 

EDIT: better links then mine are on now 

 

 

 

I updated the OP with links thanks ElitePinecone and Maugrim!

it is....

Today they talked about how it can be awkward to have the meetings about romance scenes because they're all Canadian. Then they mimed being around the meeting table, embarrassedly covering their faces. "We're an 18+ game, I think it's okay to have nipples right?" My words don't really do the visual justice though.

(Also don't take that as confirmation of nipples, it was likely said just for the funny of it)
