@ CuriousArtemis - Um... that was a really well reasoned argument.  I look at pretty much the same factors when I try to predict these rankings, and I'm not seeing a single point you made that I'd disagree with.

 

lol aww thanks ^^

 

If you only had found Place to include Vivienne, your Post would end this Topic right away.

 

Yeah I know I didn't include her... not for any particular reason other than "I think I've talked myself out of this topic" :lol:

 

But Vivienne... Assuming she is bi, I think she will absolutely edge out Josephine and rival Cass for most popular romance. However, and this is not something any of us likes to talk about because it shows how stinky the human race still can be, but her being black could inhibit her potential for being most popular. I don't have any way of guessing how much. Sure, I've seen some a-holes call her "ugly," but others have also called Cass "manly." Vivienne is certainly more feminine-featured than Cass. It's the battle of the seixsts versus the racists here, lol Sure, Vivienne could also attract bi/gay female players, but now she's picking at Sera's player base. 

 

This would be a case of having to guess which character attracts which heinous group more; would more white-only dudebros flock towards Cass or would more feminine ladies-only duebros flock to Vivienne? Impossible to say, but perhaps we could all hope that those particular players are a small minority and hence would be inconsequential. Meaning, Vivienne would go up top, above Cass, since she's bi (and Sera sinks a little lower).

I believe Cassandra will be the statistical majority.

What do you mean? Right now I have only one LI I'm mildly interested in. The other one I truly wanted is gender-gated. Blackwall is the only one left I genuinely want.

EDIT: I forgot about my own signature.................. :lol: Well in my defense the women are only there because I do like to eventually romance women, but I prefer dudes :)

Hey, what's wrong with Dorian? :P

I think Cassandra and Josephine will be the most popular for the general audience, even though Josephine is an advisor. They are available to straight males. I actually see my personal favorites (Sera, Iron Bull, and Varric if he is one) as probably being among the least popular. More casual players are probably less comfortable romancing non-humans, which is why there's always a decent selection of human LI's.

Very true, here's hoping she will be an LI option and a bisexual one, she's from Orlais it's gotta count for something here! :P And I'm sure I'm not the only gal here who would like a chance to romance that ice queen, she's gorgeous.

 

As for that possibility of people dismissing her as an LI just because she's black this is a very real possibility indeed. *Sigh*you'd think people would have evolved by now it is 2014 after all but sadly this is not the case with some. I would love to be proven wrong on this, hopefully I will be, if she is an LI, we're really jumping the gun here eh! :lol:

I'd like to be proven wrong, too; who knows, maybe BioWare's player base tends to be more socially progressive than other video game companies; I would love to live in that dream :lol: And who knows if video gamers in general aren't more modern in their thinking than the general public. (It is sad that "romancing a black woman in a video game" is considered socially progressive....)

 

Regardless, BioWare doesn't care what racists think, nor do they care what homophobes or sexists think; we will get beautiful characters of every sex, preference, and skin color and they will be awesome because that's just how these writers and artists roll! Really, who cares what ignorant, hateful people think.

 

I will say also that I think there are LOTS of black gamers (or people of color in general playing games) than the general public is probably aware (the general public also thinks only straight white teenage males play video games, so); on Facebook in particular I have seen many, many black male gamers commenting on how pretty Vivienne is and how much they can't wait to romance her. Of course white guys make the same comments, which is lovely; it's only here and there that I've seen a nasty comment. The good outweigh the bad, but anyway... back to the topic at hand, I think I'm swinging myself into believing that a bi Vivienne would be the most popular romance choice. She is human, she is attractive, and she (would be) available to both genders. Hard to beat that.

I think that it might be interesting to see how popular Vivienne is if she's an LI. I'm not sure how easy it will be to untangle all of the factors that might effect her popularity, though. There will undoubtably be guys (and gals, I'm sure) who refuse to romance her because she's not only black, but has traditionally 'African' features, as well. Isabella was very popular but her features look more European. However, I'd be hesitant to say that Vivienne's popularity will rise or fall based solely on this. She's also got very short hair (which we know is a negative trigger for some people). She's ostentatious in dress, which can turn people off. And she's got a strong personality, which has already rubbed some fans the wrong way.

It's interesting to me because the only black romance options to date were: Jacob, Isabela, and, I believe, one of the Neverwinter Nights guys. Jacob was a dud. Isabela I already discussed. The other guy, I'm not sure if I could say much about him.

All this being said, I think she's gorgeous and fascinating and I will be gutted if she's a straight option because I would love for her to be the romance for my lady Inquisitor (dwarf or qunari; she's got to be open to at least one......right....?)

Sorry, my prediction is straight, race gated, and elves only.

Kay that made me laugh :lol:

 

It's too bad everyone can't be a LI, huh? Man you have to feel pretty let down if your preferred LI didn't make the cut and 8 other characters did.

Well, I already know how that feels after DA2 and Aveline, so I totally hear you.  But hopefully everyone who appreciates the Bioware romances will find somebody they like, even if it wasn't their first choice...  there's always the possibility of an unexpectedly pleasant surprise, after all...

I'd say the Bisexual female companion usually top these things considering Liara is the most romanced in Mass Effect and Leliana is in DAO.

 I have a suspicion that I'm gong to enjoy a lot of the romances.  Blackwall (please, with sugar on top?), Iron Bull, Sera, Josephine, she's new, what's not to love?

The bi romances, Josephine and Iron Bull. Just because more availability. Unless a lot of male/female players are skewed, I could see Cassandra and Cullen be very popular.

I'm not making a list, but if I were Dorian would be number one, because my fingers would refuse to type it out any other way.

One that will also be the most hated romance.

I don't find Josephine attractive, but she'll probably be the most popular.

I myself won't have a 'most popular' romance (will romance each option with different Inquisitors).

If I had to pick one though, my favourite romance will the be the one i'll never have; my sweet Cole *tear*.

If I had to guess, going by what i've seen on here, i'd say Josephine will be most popular overall.

That reminds me, did we ever find out the most popular romance in DA2? I was thinking Isabela, but then again you can miss her.

Izzy was the trailermance, I bet it's safe to say quite a few people went for her because they felt as though that's the way the plot was supposed to go.

I wont be surprised if Cassandra is the #1 Romance, at least for the opening months of the game's launch, for sure as fans have been wanting her, Varric and Cullen for a very long time. Cassandra is also human and most likely the First Girl in the party who can be romanced as well as being the most important character in the party so.... Naturally a good portion of the audience, especially those that don't go on the forums or the such, will romance Cassandra.

 

Cassandra is also promoted a lot in the trailers and the such compared to the others.

 

Afterward Fans will be more experimental on other playthroughs, if the do other ones, and Cassandra may not be #1 anymore.

Most likely it was Isabella for being in the trailer, being quite open with what she wants, and promotion.
