With all the talk about romance this, race-gate that, etc, I am curious if there are people who do no-romance playthroughs while playing Bioware games, specifically speaking, for both Dragon Age games. 

 

My canons for the most part, are always no-romance ones, where there are occasional light flings but no actual romantic relationships taking place.

 

That is simply because I am a lone-wolf type of person in real life and since my canon playthroughs reflect my stances and values, they tend to not have any romances in them.

 

Additionally, player romances in Bioware games do not have a logical closure of any form, it usually results in some form of heartbreak or separation or just general lack of information. To me, that's too much unnecessary drama and since I am a man of simple and logical tastes, I prefer not to pursue them. 

 

So I am curious if there are any others out there who do a playthrough with no romances involved ? If so why did you choose to not pursue a romance ? 

 

Above all, how important is romance to you ? Is it an optional extra for you or do you see it as a necessity for your character ?

Removed the link to that video because it is starting to genuinely anger me.

 

GaymerX is a convention.  It happens to have happened in July.  We aren't going to AVOID going to it just because some people might go "whoa they are focusing on the romances."  The topic is going to be ALL ABOUT LGBT content, and we'd discuss that topic (which is often our romances) regardless of impending release.

 

If you look at our actual marketing materials, very little of it talks about romances.  At this point it's mostly people seeing other people talking about it and assuming that that is all there is, and perhaps a preoccupation with romances by the person speaking out against them.  If something bothers you, there's that innate human frustration to see other people enjoying it and then feeling vindictive for a variety of reasons.

 

BioWare considers the romances to be optional content that is used to help explore aspects of characters.  This hasn't changed.

 

 

EDIT: I also wanted to add that as a gamer, romance content isn't really interesting to me and if a game doesn't have it I'm okay with that.  If I can handle other people liking our games because of this content, it shouldn't be a problem for others.
