 I.E. women are supposed to like romances and men are supposed to like blowing things up. 

 

Why not both? 

[andar91]

Why not both? 

 

That's the beauty of it! I, too, like both, and I'm a dude.

 

Clarification: I only meant that was what men and women are supposed to like; it doesn't reflect reality.

[Chaia]

Done, though I have to admit that last question is a toughy, I'm looking forward to all of those things 

 

Also, I'm female and like romances and blowing stuff up, just not at the same time...mostly...

[daveliam]

I filled it out too.  Can't wait to see the results. 

[Hellion Rex]

Done

[Rainbow Wyvern]

Done. Took me a little while to answer the last one. I like too many things 

[hotdogbsg]

Done.

 

First time I've ever put Europe as my country 

[budzai]

Since Europe isn't a country (and probably never will be^^) I have to choose "other".

[Ghostjs]

Filled out the survey for you

[Kaibe]

Done! I'm very interested in seeing the results.

[Elhanan]

The last question was the most difficult one for me, as Exploration and the CC are both very important features. But as Exploration of a huge world is a new Bioware implementation, I chose it instead.

And of course my first Warden choice may vary as more intel is released.... *sigh*

I vote for indecision!

[Caja]

Filled out.

PS: the country I live in is not called Europe

Yes, I know. LOL. There are about 28 countries in the European Union alone and I was too lazy to list them all.  Well, we grow together  .

 

I apologize if this has offended anyone. And since I live in Europe, I am very aware of the fact that Europe is not one country, of course. I realize now that I could have chosen my words better. I will try to change them if I can. Again: you have my apologies. 

 

Done, will you post the results here?

Yes, I will .

 

Filled out, but disapointed there wasn't anything about character builds or skill choices. Wasn't sure if that would be under character creation (probably not?) or combat. Maybe combat? Hell I dunno.

Ah, shoot. I'm sorry. I forgot about it  .

 

OP-- Curious as to what guidelines you used and why those specific questions?

I didn't use any specific guidlines. I browsed through the forum a bit and saw that there were some similar topics already. I kind of merged them and added some things on my own (the gender and age thing, for example).  

 

I'm of the opinion that categorizing games into male games and female games is pretty much BS. There is nothing inherent about what sort of media a person enjoys (not by gender, anyway). Socially, we condition people towards certain things: I.E. women are supposed to like romances and men are supposed to like blowing things up. Sometimes people go along with that, sometimes they fit it naturally, and sometimes they don't.

 

For instance, I've seen this thing where people will say something like, "Women don't like fighting games. My girlfriend doesn't like Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive or Tekken."

 

But did they ever consider that all three of those games have lady characters that are ridiculously sexualized and could possibly make a lot of women uncomfortable? That's not to say some women don't like them, just that it's clear who they're marketed towards and are downright repellent to many because of it. So maybe a fighting game comes along that actually doesn't do what the examples above do - some women still aren't going to go for it because they're either expecting the same as always or their experiences have left a bad taste in their mouth in general.

 

As for Dragon Age and Bioware games in general...they do a pretty good job of not actively repelling those not a part of the traditional demographic (15-35 white straight cis men), though I don't think they're perfect. They offer a wide range of things people like: romance, story, combat, customization. But I've seen plenty of men and women profess affection for all of those things.

I agree with most of the above. But I wouldn't necessarily call the categorization into male or females players BS. From a development point of view I think it is important to know your target group. A Tekken version for females player might therefore look differently - although I've actually got a female friend who enjoyed playing the game with her boyfriend.  But yes, I would wish that some game companies had a change of heart (however, BioWare isn't one of them).

[Grif]

love polls and look forward to the results!

[RedRio]

Done & done 

[Zu Long]

Done.

[lady_v23]

..I think I'm done.

[Caja]

I rephrased the question of "What country do you live in". So, it's all fixed now.

[TKavatar]

I'm pretty sure romances will be at the top of the list on BSN

OP, it would be cool if you could post this to other DA fan sites/forums like r/dragonage on reddit. Would like to see a comparison of the results.

[Sanctuary74]

I look forward to seeing the results.

[RUDAL]

ok, Done.

 

As to what motivates me to play DA:I?

Nothing or simple boredom.

 

BW games were going down with each title and new engine and better graphics won't save it. We'll see when it comes out.

 

As to main question - romances. With the characters that has been introduced so far I (as a male straight player) don't see any interesting options. Everything seems to be female or gay focused.

[FairfaxGal]

Done. Great poll. And I'm a female who is really missing my sniper rifle this time through Mass Effect and who loved freezing and exploding people as a mage in DAO and who also enjoys all the banter/romances as well.

[Hrungr]

And.... Done.
