Woah mate calm down. What's stopping you from playing as the races that are not race gated?

 

You really cannot be ninja-ed into bed with Zevran. The whole scene leading up to it, not to mention pretty much all of the previous conversations with him that could trigger his romance always leave you with the option to turn him down and with him being pretty obvious when the romance is triggered. Unless you were playing blindfolded, you couldn't have possibly gotten into actually sleeping with Zevran by mistake.

 

Your ME3 and DA2 comments make me think that you're just looking for a reason to still be angry at Bioware.

I think making some romances "race-gated" is the most realistic thing BW could do! Some ppl are straight, some are gay, some are bisexual, and obviously some would not like another race or would not like a specific one... it only makes sense!!!  I personally would not be attracted to a Qunari or Dwarf, as that is not a physical preference.... they would be forever "friend-zoned"... which brings me to my next point: Varric.

I loved Varric's charachter in DA2! he was so funny and a great friend to Hawke! He probably would have been an amazing romance except for one thing...Bianca. There is a story behind her creation and why it is named so.... there is a true sentiment, but it was never revealed what that is... hopefully they do explore this thouroughly :'(

I think BW is doing great and to make it more immersive and real-feeling, they are giving each individual "human-like" personalities, I simply love it! I wouldn't find it strange if they "class-gated" Solas, but that's me... it makes sense to me.

 

As for the ME series issue at the end and blah blah blah that I hear all the time.... different team entirely. Great games except the ending! You only have one race, who cares

DA2 was a bit overzealous in it's romances and I hate the fact that Anders was Bi-sexual, not cause I'm a gay hating [insert expletive here]! His character had no conotations towards being gay in Awakening and then they made him Bi on top of essentially rewriting his character completely.... horrible decision, but whatever. DA2 still had a compelling story

 

Static objects have as much right as living beings.

I love lamp!!!

I love chair!!

The people who accidentally the whole Zevran have taught me one thing: people don't read. That, or there are a lot of naive twelve-year-olds playing DAO.

 

(I mean, he says he learnt his massage technique in an Antivan brothel! What did people think he meant?!)

The Skyhold throne deserves a harem of hot men leaning against it attractively. Or women, if that's what rocks it's boat.

Doubt it's naivette that's causing people to 'accidentally' sleep with Zevran.

That's actually about right, because I was hoping to give them another chance with the series that made me enjoy Bioware in the first place. I was trying to avoid seeing any of the released information if you had actually read my first post.

Giving Bioware another chance did not require you to go out and pre-order the game. You could've waited for more information, and even now you can still go and cancel your pre-order if this is a big stumbling block for you.

 

Yes, I want to complain, because every single character that has had a 'good reason' so far has had some way to be swayed. Even Leliana whom is not an interest in this one was extremely difficult to talk into romance but it was possible.

 

I don't recall Leliana being difficult to romance so I'm not sure where you're getting that.

 

understand that some people have bad blood with other species or races, but as the Warden and later as Hawke you were allowed to overcome that in the almighty way of Captain Kirk to knock boots with pretty much whomever you pleased within reason

 

Let's just get this out of the way right now then, you are not Captain Kirk and this is not Star Trek. No matter how awesome you think your Inquisitor is, there are some people that will not find you attractive or will be uninterested in a relationship.

 

The following is a Quote from David Gaider around mid June

 

"Yes. There is no guarantee that a particular gender/race combination will have as many romantic prospects as another," Gaider responded in the forum. "And that's fine. Romance options are not candy to be dispensed fairly and evenly, and if there's a particular character that you've decided before the game is released that you must romance, it's advisable you play a different PC. The most we can do (and have done) is ensure that there's no overall slanting towards a particular group-- it's all over the map, for various reasons," he elaborated on the decision.

There is an issue with romancing her if you just throw gifts at her, but that's all.... not sure if that was what they were referencing.

One day devs will have enough of all this nagging and you won't get romances at all. Or game even. Just saying.

Its not really pressing a button without regards to what you're picking its that they put words in your mouth that aren't there. In DA2 that was fixed quite a bit because even though you only got a five word blurb of what you were going to say you had symbols to correlate with. 

 

I think the race-gating is still pretty silly because from the looks of it Male Elf Inquisitors are going to die out with this series because the only female elf you could be involved with is a lesbian and the only other one you're going to talk to unless there's an npc is male.

The minority? Have you actually sifted through the forums before? <.<

 

There are still posting from way back when about why the guns have two barrels and how silly it is, or why elf ears aren't pointy enough.

Those of us here on the forums are the minority. And it seems to be part of human nature to complain about trivialities when we have nothing better to do.

Err... I think you might be confused OP. (Or maybe your feathers are just unbelievably ruffled. The only explanation I can think of for your extreme anger is not knowing what's going on.)

 

There are 8 love interests.

 

Confirmed:

 

Straight: Cullen, Cassandra

Bisexual: Iron Bull (All races), Josephine (Implied all races, but not confirmed)

Gay: Sera, Dorian

 

Varric, Cole and Leliana are confirmed not love interests, which means that either Vivienne, Blackwall or Solas are the remaining two.

 

Other than that, out of the 8 there are two who have some kind of racial gating. We have no clue of the extent that racial gating is (examples: Cullen might not date Qunari, but be happy with everyone else. Sera might only date elves). I'm not sure of my opinion on race gating, but even with it there's a heck of a lot of awesome options. Also, there is banter in the game, and it's going to be interactive. Alistair and Morrigan will also be reappearing to some extent. You're going to be okay.

 

and if you're still not happy then don't buy the game. this isn't the kind of place you're going to find people with mutual feelings, i'm afraid.

 

The Meet the Advisors interview with Josephine's writer confirmed her to be for all race/gender combinations.

There have been a total of 441,328 forum members and that includes Mods and Employees.  Not too mention a lot of those ppl haven't gotten on her in a long while! A lot of those may not even be DA posts as this is for all BW games for many languages....

There were over 3.5 million copies of DA:O sold and (as I'm blocked from a lot of game sites) I cannot find how many DA2 total copies were sold, 1.3 million in the first 10 weeks is correct...

I'd say minority

I'm not trying to discredit all the ideas on the forums as some are actually very constructive and would help build an incredible future game, but a majority of the comments and "requests" are selfish desires that are what the individual wants instead of what the whole as a community wants or needs! If you have such a problem with it, then get a degree in video game designing and developing and apply to BW or another like-minded company to change what you don't like.

It's just romance buddy, it's not like they took away the ability to finish the game or something.
